Spagyric Lab Work with Alchemist Robert Allen Bartlett
Phoenix Aurelius has the pleasure of interviewing the great Alchemist and long time practicing Spagyrist, Robert Allen Bartlett in this episode. As a fair warning, the first part of this episode may go over most people's heads, unless you are versed in Alchemical Terminology. Phoenix and Robert chat about: Robert's time working with Frater Albertus for the Paracelsus Research Society in SLC, Utah, his 50 plus years of Antimony research, Alchemical Oil of Gold, polar and non polar solvents, dreams for better research around Spagyria and creating a place for Spagyria in Modern Medicine, how the Spagyric process can create completely new phytochemicals, Fixed Sulfur, Paracelsus, a bit about Robert's books and his school "Spagyricus Institute", and plenty more. Regardless if you are a total newbie or experienced in the Alchemical arts, this episode is still bound to give you some interesting takeaways so keep your notepad and pencil ready. If you are familiar with Spagyria then you most likely have heard of Robert Allen Bartlett, as he has written a handful of some of the best books on the market that break down the elusive Alchemical Arts in a student friendly fashion. Phoenix is always recommending his books (linked below) to his own students, and has long looked up to Robert as the skilled teacher that he is. Robert Allen Bartlett was the chief chemist for famous Alchemist, Frater Albertus during the 1980's in Salt Lake City, for the Paracelsus Research Society (P.R.S.). Working closely with Frater Albertus, Robert researched and developed a wide range of herbal, mineral and metallic preparations following Western and Eastern alchemical traditions for applications in alternative health care. Robert had a long career as a chemist after P.R.S. closed it's doors, working as a research scientist for new ceramic materials and then later was the Chemistry Department Manager for a large materials testing laboratory. Throughout his life, Robert has been able to document and perfect Alchemical experiments in ways ancient alchemists would have dreamed about. Currently Robert is offering in person classes at his school, Spagyricus Institute in Marysville, WA and is working on releasing many more books in the future. Phoenix highly recommends studying with Robert Allen Bartlett first before taking any immersion apprenticeships with him personally at the Phoenix Aurelius Research Academy.
