2. The pressed extracts are prepared by compilation. 3. To obtain the coal of the plants, enclose these hermetic remains in a bowl of blown glass and then plunge it into a fire of wood or coal. 4. Beeswax, which we recommend for certain mixtures, must be boiled three times in pure water, in advance. 5. The oil Kopal, a lacquered gum, must be washed in cold running water before using. 6. Before proceeding with the mixture of the characteristic compositions, one should hermetically seal a sufficient volume of the fluid condenser in a vase or bottle. This vase, or bottle, containing the condenser, must remain in cold running water for ten days. 7. When drying the plants that are used in the magical preparations, one carefully sees to it that they do not fall under the influence of the light of day. Be sure to maintain the temperature of the laboratory at 90 degrees Fahrenheit or more. 8. To isolate the fluid condensers from the light of day, one surrounds the vase, or bottle, which contains them, with many layers of a cloth of natural silk, which has been carefully washed in running water before using it. The operation of the mixing of the condensers must be made in artificial light. p. 64 : "VOLTS" and Statuettes All experimental magic is based on the laws of correspondences, of sympathies and of polarizations. While the laws of polarizations determine the force of attraction between the two contrary poles ( + and - ), the laws of correspondences and of sympathies exist for all the etheric forces, spread out through space and on the earth; their elements, or materials, correspond in the same manner as their sound, their color, their rhythm, and their perfume, sympathetically. The profound study of these diverse correspondences allow us to successfully operate with the aid of solid fluid condensers (type 3), which we call "Volts." These condensers are figurines, prepared in a special fashion (see more below). They are charged, according to the method that we indicate here, with the psychic force of an individual in order to cure an illness, to correct or improve a person's nature, or even to cast a spell, beneficial or malefic, with the aid of the laws of Correspondences and sympathies. The preparation of a "Volt" requires the following operations: 1. The definition and fabrication of the perfume and the individual color of the subject. 2. The introduction into the solid condenser: a.) of the liquid condenser #2 (see more above) in the proportion of 20: 1. b.) of the individual perfume in the proportion of 1:10.
