Alchemy texts archives - The Petri Murien books

From : Adam McLean
Date : 28th Oct 1998

A few days ago a colleague was kind enough to send me copies of
two little books by Petri Murien.

The metallic oils or the alchemical sulphur
Alchemically purified and solidified mercury

These emanate from India but have been translated into English
and are published by a company called Alchemical Resources operating
in Seattle.

I wonder if anyone can give me some information on Petri Murien or
on the group that are publishing his books in English and indeed if
there are any other titles available.

Dear Adam,

I think it is John Coelho. I was involved with some discussions with him
and obtained some purified/solidified mercury from him which he purchases
from Petri Murien. I think it is John's pseudo company Alchemical Resources
that you refer to. John is a news paper delivery man that became interested
in solid mercury a few years ago. I will try to locate his address or phone
number and relay to you. I also have some interesting Kirlian photography
images with commentary written by Petri Murien that demonstrates the powers
of the solidified mercury that he makes.

Petri Murien is an Anagram for a French Alchemist,
whose name I don't remember exactly, but it is written
in Hans Nintzel article published on the TIME book
about alchemy. Also this article used to be on the
WEB on a site called Vanguard Sciences. I will try
to look it up and repost (Pierre Mutin ... perhaps ?? )

In any case, as I understand this contemporary alchemist
travelled to India where he learned their ways particularly
related to the work associated with mercury and its amalgams,
as you may surely know through reading his booklets, which
are sold through HOLMES in California.

Whenever I find any additional info, will contact you back.

Best regards,

Hans

These 2 or 3 books were published 2 years ago in France. The last one was
published by RAMUEL.

What I know, is that rings of alchemical mercury was sold by RAMUEL. But, I
think that there had some troubles between RAMUEL and Petri Murien, and
they lost contact. The rings are not sold By RAMUEL anymore. I'm checking
this piece of information as soon as a Friend of Mine is back from the
south of France. He personnaly knows the owner of RAMUEL.

RAMUEL sells fine books of alchemy and other subjects. I heard That RAMUEL
had some financial problems. I think if that Editor closes, It will be a
great lost for Us. One of my friend was an editor and ceased publishing
books. He was looking for old manuscript and scarces ones, and published
them. so I do know what I'm talking about.

If someone wants the adress of RAMUEL, just e-mail the list.

with my regards,

Micha�l

Guy Tr'daniel published Murien's 'Cinnabaris, ou le mercure alchimique' in
1989, and there is or used to be a Societ� du mercure alchimique at 15 rue
des Cl�ys, 75018 Paris, tel. + 33 1 42 62 34 47... I've tried the phone n�
and got an answering machine... we shall see what we shall see. I must say
that I had been going to contact him when the book first came out but the
idea of the 'societ�' (which may simply mean company as in Pty. Ltd. in
French) turned me off...

Dear Adam,

Petri Murien's real name is Pierre Munier. A Frenchman. I'm reposting a list
I sent before to the forum.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Interestingly, metallic oils from both Eastern and Western alchemical
approaches are prepared by methods strikingly different, and yet they create
an oil which belies the inorganic quality of the source. Many oils by
definition float on water and sink when in alcohol, containing heavy salt
crystals that are in dissolution. Petri Murien and his Society of Alchemical
Mercury has developed a reputation that has mixed reviews. I don't want to
get into arguments about whether his oils are better or worse through his
methodology and preparations. I am presenting his own words as written in
various letters regarding his work.

Medicinal qualities of Metallic oils

PETRI MURIEN

1) GOLD OIL - THE SUN :

This oil is prepared from the ashes of gold (calcinated gold of 24K) which
cannot return to the metallic state. Those ashes are fused into a colorful
glass with special alchemical salts elaborated from a phosphoric principle.
Those highly fixed salts are then combined naturally with the universal
spirit which contains corporified light or astral fire. When exposed several
nights to the full moon, this glass dissolves by attraction into an oily
thick paste. This oil which is the soul and heavier falls to the bottom; the
spirit which is lighter floats on top. So, you have to shake the bottle
before use.

This gold oil is excellent for leukemia patients as the highly fixed
phosphoric principle will join by the law of affinity with its corresponding
human phosphoric principle within the bones. Thus it will establish itself
there and do its work of regeneration from within.

Gold is also meant for most heart diseases. It is also excellent for
teenagers who have a difficult physical incarnation; several cancers -
Rachidian deformation; several ptosis; venous stasis; lipothymiaes and
vertigo and also the circulation.

2) SILVER OIL - THE MOON :

This oil is prepared from metallic ashes of silver which cannot return to
the metallic state. Those ashes are fused into a colorful glass with special
alchemical salts elaborated from a phosphoric principle. Those highly fixed
salts are then combined naturally with the universal spirit which contains
corporified light or astral fire. When exposed several nights to the full
moon, this glass dissolves by attraction into an oily thick paste. The oil
which is the soul and heavier falls to the bottom; the spirit which is
lighter floats on top. So, you have to shake the bottle before use.

The moon, silver, rules the brain, the skin and the sexual organs in
females. The silver oil is very useful for children suffering of night
terrors and those children who "look old." It is good for female sterility,
also for almost constitutional dysmenorrhoea if given in the first half of
the menstrual cycle. It is also good for curing dry constipation. Excellent
in controlling mental illnesses and chronic diseases of the brain.

3) IRON OIL (BLACK) MARS :

This oil is made from an ore widely found in the Himalayan belt. This black
sticky ore is first purified and made soluble. It is then distilled very
slowly in a glass retort to release its thick oily soul (approximately 15%
of its weight).

It is excellent for: diabetes, male and female sterility, as a strong tonic
it is highly recommended in general debility due to old age; bronchial
disorders; asthma; piles, inflammation, digestive disorders like dyspepsia;
worms, constipation; skin ailments; blood pressure and sexual impotency.

Note: The treatment should not exceed 40 days as it could increase blood
pressure. It must not be given to kidney stone or gall-bladder stone
patients.

4) IRON OIL (RED) MARS :

This oil is made from red magnetite ore, iron pyrites and iron ashes
(incinerated iron) dissolved in a strong vegetable alkali alchemically
prepared from oak wood. This metallic solution when put in a warm place for
digestion starts to precipitate into an earth. This earth then ferments and
swells thus releasing a gaseous vapor in the form of thousands of bubbles
and foam. When the fermentation is completed, the matter has completely
putrefied while passing through various colors which culminate in a
pith-black tar-like substance. The body is then considered dead as it has
released or given up its soul in the form of a fiery red oil.

Mars rules the gall-bladder and the larynx. So this oil is excellent for
curing ailments related to these organs. Due to its power of fixation iron
has a great anti-toxic function against several poisoning substances such as
arsenic, lead, mercury, copper, and cyanide. It is also indispensable to fix
and strengthen will power and consolidate the nervous system in cases of
neurosis and convalescence.

5) MERCURY OIL (MERCURY) OR MAKARADHWAJA OIL :

This oil is made from purified medicinal mercury which has been processed
to absorb in itself the essence of copper. In Indian alchemy it is said that
this mercury has received 5 impressions or memories. This mercury is
alchemically joined to purified medicinal sulphur by the agency of a salt,
thus becoming a bright red exalted alchemical cinnabar. On being exposed
several nights to the full moon it resolves itself into a blood-like oil by
attracting the universal spirit of the world in the form of corporified
light.

To this oil, essences of gold and mica are added along with pure musk,
ambergris oil, Baltic Russian amber paste, saffron and gorochand, which is a
rare orange stone-like animal substance.

Mercury rules the lungs, the lymphs and the nerves. It is very useful in
paralysis, hemiplegia and several nervous disorders such as Zona. It is also
a very helpful agent in treating certain cancers, especially of the lungs.
Ideal for young lymphatic children and the ones suffering of stagnation. It
removes obsessions, fixed ideas, mental viscosity and deep depression of
"lung type."

In the light geriatrics, it is a powerful regenerator of the immune system,
nervous system, if combined with several mineral essences such as gold,
mica, etc, and a strong sexual tonic when animal essences such as musk or
ambergris are added.

6) COPPER OIL VENUS :

This oil is made from a fine chalcopyrite found in a French mine. This ore
contains an average of 10 grams of gold per ton. To this, ashes of
incinerated copper are added. They are then dissolved in a strong vegetable
alkali alchemically prepared from oak wood. This metallic solution when put
in a warm place for digestion starts to precipitate into an earth. This
earth then ferments and swells thus releasing a gaseous vapor in the form of
thousands of bubbles and foam. When the fermentation is completed, the
matter has completely putrefied while passing through various beautiful
colors which culminate in a pitch-black, tar-like substance. The body is
then considered dead as it has released or given up its soul in the form of
a fiery red oil. This is called the solution or the separation of the
elements.

Venus, or copper, rules the kidneys and the veins. It is very useful in
controlling the bad effect of an excess of its metal in polarity: iron. It
is a powerful antispasmodic. It stimulates the veinous stasi in the human
organism, and it removes the affections of its key-organ the kidneys, and
also the thyroid. It is excellent in post traumatic problems such as
accident, surgery, and in convalescence. It removes body pain of rheumatic
origin, inflammation, swelling, etc...

7) TIN OIL JUPITER :

This oil is made from ashes of incinerated tin, which cannot return to the
metallic state. These ashes are then dissolved in a strong vegetable alkali
alchemically prepared from oak wood. This metallic solution, when put in a
warm place for digestion, starts to precipitate into an earth. This earth
swells and ferments, thus releasing a gaseous vapor in the form of thousands
of bubbles and foam. When the fermentation is completed, the matter has
completely putrefied while passing through various beautiful soft colors
which culminate in a black tar-like substance. The body is then considered
dead as it has released or given up its soul in the form of a fiery orange
oil. This is called the solution or the separation of the elements. Jupiter
or Tin rules the liver, the cartilage and the muscles. This oil is excellent
in case of someone "loosing shape." Its key organ is the liver; thus it is
best for jaundice; hepatitis; cirrhosis; certain types of eczema; liquid
ovarian cysts; inflammatory effusions; pleurisies; certain phases of
manic-depressive people; certain types of obesity. It is an excellent
antidote for the bad effects of its metal in polarity: mercury.

8) LEAD OIL (SATURN):

This oil is made from the ashes of incinerated lead and from good lead ore
(Galena). These are then dissolved in a strong vegetable alkali alchemically
prepared from oak wood. This metallic solution, when put in a warm place for
digestion, starts to precipitate into an earth. This earth swells and
ferments, thus releasing a gaseous vapor in the form of thousands of bubbles
and foam. When the fermentation is completed, the matter has completely
putrefied while passing through various colors, which culminate in a black
tar-like substance. The body is then considered dead as it has released or
given up its soul in the form of a fiery red oil. This is called the
solution or the separation of the elements.

Saturn, or lead, rules the spleen, the skeleton, and the marrow. It is
useful to control an excessive imagination, and also hallucinations due to
neurological delirious after-effects. (encephalitis, post-traumatic
troubles). It favors ossification and structuring. It is precious for
osteoporosis and metastasis of the bones. It is also very useful for the
spleen and its ailments. It is better not to take this oil in the period of
the rising, full moon, to replace it with silver, which is its metal in
polarity.

9) ANTIMONY OIL :

This oil is made from excellent stibnite (antimony ore) found in the French
Britannia, and from an alchemically prepared antimony metal exalted with
iron. These are then dissolved in a strong vegetable alkali alchemically
prepared from oak wood. This metallic solution, when put in a warm place to
digest, starts to precipitate into an earth. This earth swells and ferments,
thus releasing a gaseous vapor in the form of thousands of bubbles and foam.
When the fermentation is completed, the matter has completely putrefied
while passing through various beautiful colors, which culminate in a black
tar-like substance, The body is then considered dead as it has released or
given up its soul in the form of a fiery red oil. This is called the
solution or the separation of the elements.

Antimony is excellent for all ailments of the lungs and the bronchial
tubes. It is good for asthma. It greatly favors expectoration and removes
excess of phlegm from the lungs. It is very efficient for those who suffer
from chronic breathing problems.

Dose: One drop in a 200ml bowl of hot instant soup, preferably in the
morning once in a while or daily for acute or chronic cases.

10) POTABLE GOLD SUN :

It is a liquor called by the ancient masters "Potable Gold." It is obtained
by a divine process and it is made from the finest and purest seminal gold,
which appears as a volatile red-brown greasy earth, which is then dissolved
into a liquor. It is also called by the ancient "The universal medicine of
the first order."

In the light of geriatrics, it is considered the king of medicines as it is
endowed with extraordinary virtues to regenerate the human body and to cure
most illnesses.

It is excellent for most cancers and also for the heart. It is also a
powerful stimulant of the liver etc.... It dissolves kidney-stones and the
gall-bladder stones.

It can be added to ant vegetable medicinal extract in order to greatly
amplify its virtues. It can also be added to metallic oils as well. It can
be used in almost any emergency. When absorbed, it can generate a lot of
heat in the body, thus provoking natural profuse sweating by which the
impurities are expelled.

Dose: One drop a day for seven days in a glass of wine or in any drinks or
in a cup of hot instant soup; then one drop a week in drinks only for a
while.

Further to my previous message, I will now cite the pertinent text of Hans
Nintzel article ALCHEMY IS ALIVE AND
WELL, which I would recommend everyone to read. It
is to be found on SPIRITWEB. Reference as follows :

Finally, my friend, Pierre Munier has developed a method to
solidify quicksilver and he shapes it into religious and magical
shapes. He learned his alchemy from teachers in India. He also makes
and sells purified oils of metals.

Best regards,

Hans
