Seven Tinctures, Alcohol distillation

I haven't been keeping up with my blogging, but that's because not a whole lot of interest has been going on lately. I have been working on creating my seven planetary elixirs, which does take a long time as I have to make the tincture, calcine the solid plant matter, leach, crystallize, etc. All this seven times over. Right now I'm in the middle of distilling and purifying fresh alcohol (made from my own wine, of course) as I ran out.
Once this is all done the seven elixirs will go into incubation for one or two months, maybe longer, so that the salt can fully combine with the tinctures. During that time I will be roasting some stibnite and galena (outside, of course).
This summer I plan on having a weekend alchemy seminar with some friends. So far the plan is we will be creating a silver tree, an everburning light, and doing one or two steam distillations of orange peels. All pictures will be posted on the website for your perusal. Should prove to be very fun and interesting!
