Beginners Guide To Alchemy: Magic Medicines And The Plant Path
Beginners Guide To Alchemy: Magic Medicines And The Plant Path
Alchemy seeks the perfection of bodies, be they plant, mineral, metal, or the stuff of human consciousness itself.
It seeks to quicken and to EVOLVE Nature, faster than any natural process would allow.
In this one day workshop you will learn the Practical and theoretical Secrets of the Plant Path- the Alchemy of Spagyrics (‘to separate and recombine’) as we explore this extraordinary synthesis of Herbology, Astrology, Qabalah, Ritual Magick, Mind-Expanding and initiatory medicines, and the necessary Inner work designed to Initiate and Enlighten the Soul.
In this workshop you will learn:
-The basis and history of Alchemy and Spagyrics.
-To understand and work with Alchemical symbolism and Imagery.
-Alchemical Internal meditations designed to awaken the True Gold of Spiritual Enlightenment.
-A simple system of numerology that will introduce all aspects of the Alchemical system in easy to use and remember format.
-To craft extremely powerful and potent initiatory Medicines, designed to heal the body, awaken the energy-body, and to Initiate your Self into higher levels and dimensions of Consciousness.
This workshop will involve hands on work with plants and herbs and other easy to obtain kitchen equipment. No glassware etc will be needed, though demonstrations of how to use alchemical glassware will be provided.
It will also include the necessary inner initiations, empowerments and meditations to make the system of Alchemy come ALIVE within you.
You will learn to make:
-7 potent initiatory Spagyrics, 1 for each day of the week.
-Distilled, Purified and Blessed water for a range of alchemical purposes.
-To make the ENS of Paracelsus- though this will be discussed rather than shown- (that will be in a later video).
-The Alchemical ‘Oil of Egg’- the single best remedy for burns, bleeding and major to minor skin issues.
Learn the Secrets of the Ancient Masters. Let the Alchemist’s Fire burn within you, and may you come to know the True Stone of the Wise.

What People Are Saying About Tantraya’s Workshops:
“I was fortunate enough to take the Beginners Guide To Alchemy workshop in Peru.
At the time, I had no idea that it would transform my life the way it did. I just thought it was interesting and cool.
By creating these herbal spagyrics (like tinctures but stronger) mixed up with my intentions, and the power of the plants and planets, I was guided into clearing blockages in my life that I suppressed so much that I thought it was normal to operate these ways.
The BIG ONE being the TRUST ISSUES I had, always operating with the idea that someone was going to harm me, talk behind my back, or trick me (like always).... Gosh, to realize that, let it go and to express myself authentically afterward, trusting in the process of life. I’m good. And can testify the clearing is due to the application of this workshop.
It’s not a quickie, it takes some effort, a few minutes out of the day to reconnect to your intention, shake up your spagyric...and the magic slowly presents itself!
I’m Sooo glad TANTRAYA is providing this class on line so YOU ALL have a chance at creating and clearing your life in this ancient practice.
I am participating, and hope to see some of you there.
It’s really GOOD!!!

“I recently participated in Tantraya’s livestream Lucid Dreaming workshop. It was an incredibly interesting and eye opening full day, packed with fascinating topics, some of which delved into the history of dreams; traditional dreamwork; dream cycles and states of being, and how to navigate the dream world. The workshop was filled with tips, tricks and exercises which have aided and supported me on this journey of discovery and have helped me remain open to the teachings.

“Calling all Magicians! Herbalists! Astrologers! Psychonauts! Curious people!
When I was down in Peru at TANTRAYA, I was blessed to be introduced to the Alchemical insights and practices that create a synergistic experience of mind, body, and spirit and amplify connections to plant and herbal medicines. When working with these Alchemical medicines, you’re not only relating to the plants, minerals, and metals on a material level, but penetrating the deeper layers of their spirit and integrating their messages and wisdoms into your own being.
I’m trying to think of just one main aspect of this class that benefitted me, but really it was everything! From learning the hands-on procedures of creating Spagyrics to the internal meditations that allowed for a cohesive relationship between Self and plant spirit, this workshop is AMAZING!!
Lucky for you all! Tantraya is offering this workshop online!! If you have long been interested in the magick of Alchemy or want to deepen your understanding of plant medicines, check this course out.”
