Alchemy and the Kabbalah
6. Yod- Dissolution\Subtilizing - Virgo
Dissolution is actually a part of the Putrefication process where
the solid is reduced to a liquid but stops at the first phase of
operation.
7. Lamed - Cohobation - Libra
Cohobation is a series of Distillations where a volatile substance
is poured back over the matter. This process is repeated
a number of times.
8. Nun - Digestion \ Ferment - Scorpio
Digestion is a process which through a mild heat the matter or
substance gives up its vital essences. This process is also called
Maceration. It is a process where the gross elements become
much lighter as the essence is removed and to a certain extent
Separation occurs.
9. Samech - Sublimation - Sagittarius
Sublimation takes place when the vapor is extracted from the
matter and is driven upward into the upper part of the container.
Like the previous step, it makes the spiritual part of the
matter more ethereal in content.
10. Ayin - Coagulation\Cibation - Capricorn
(Refer to the previous explanation.)
11. Tzaddi - Congelation - Aquarius
Congelation is a liquification of the materials used in the
experiment to the consistency of water and letting them gradually
produce a solid state.
12. Qoph - Conjunction\ Impregnate - Pisces
The Conjunction is the bringing together of the separated
parts of the experiment into one homogenous commodity. It is
rhe final step in which all component parts of the matter have
been separated, strengthened, then placed back together,
which results in a totally transmuted substance that is much
stronger than when the experiment first started.
The steps of Multiplication and Projection are done after the work
is completed and therefore not applicable to the above table.

but are the results of a number of years of practical alchemical exploration.
The entire process described here is one that works on a practical
level. The Sepher Yetzirah is also allied to the mental process as well, for
