Oil of Lead
What is it?
The Oil of Lead is extracted using traditional alchemical laboratory methods or what science would refer to today as a 'catalytic conversion reaction.' This essentially means that Lead is being used to catalyze a reaction within a solution of organic compounds, in return, producing essences that come to be know as the "Oil of Lead." This oil does not contain any metallic constituents or particles and is found to be organic in nature. Since the Oil of Lead does not contain any metallic particles, this means that no Lead is present in the Oil of Lead and should therefore not be viewed as toxic or as containing heavy metals.
The Oil of Lead is comprised of organic compounds, namely phenols, terpenes, and alcohols. It is these compounds that give the Oil of Lead its unique aroma, taste, color, and therapeutic effects.
Working with the Oil of Lead can have profound effects on one's physical and mental state and set the user in a position to carry on the long history of alchemical tradition. The Oil of Lead is known to work on the adrenal glands, skeletal system, spleen, and mental archetypes of fear, security, sensuality, presence, etc.

Overview
The Oil of Lead is associated with the planetary energies of Saturn, which correspond to the Root Chakra center in the body. This center connects us to the physical world and governs over our physical energies. Saturn or the Root Chakra could be considered 'spheres of consciousness.' The Saturn sphere of consciousness gives us a sense of security with ourselves and other people. It is considered a point of transition from spirit (mind) to body, and is responsible for our most instinctive actions and feelings - our fight or flight response, feelings of safety and security, basic survival needs, and our sense of belonging. When this center is open and balanced, the individual feels connected to the earth and very much grounded to the present moment. This state of consciousness embodies feeling present within physical reality and comfortable with the current circumstances of life. Saturn shows us how we experience reality. It is where we meet with residence and discover our limitations. It tells us about our powers of endurance and the ability to concentrate.
Physical Profile
Skeleton - To the Vedic seers, the Root Chakra was known as the Muladhara, which literally translates as root-base or “support.” The Oil of Lead helps to build a strong skeletal foundation for the body, which lends deeper capacity for physical strength. This characteristic comes from the unique terpene profile contained within the Oil of Lead which helps the body to absorb minerals from the diet, increase blood flow to bones and marrow, and stimulates bone synthesis. A strong skeletal structure and posture are crucial for the forward movement and physical expression of the individual. It was known to the alchemists that the Oil of Lead could be used against atrophy and degenerative diseases of all kinds. Seeing that the Saturn and the Oil of Lead are root level archetypes, it should come as no surprise that conversations of structure and foundation play a vital role in this oils properties.
Speel + Immunity - The Oil of Lead also physically stimulates the spleen, cleansing this organ of any toxicity associated with stagnate blood potentially stored there. When this cleansing occurs, detox happens via your sweat and waste systems. Individuals using this oil have reported observing increased sweating or a change in stool samples as detox occurs. The spleen is essentially like a large lymph node and plays a crucial role in the balance of the body's immune system. As old blood is cleansed, antibodies attached to this old blood are recycled and delivered back to the lymph to help increase the bodies immunity against bacteria and viruses. The Oil of Lead's anti-microbial properties also help to assist in fighting off foreign invaders and creating a solid structure for health.

Cortisol

Adrenals and Body Chemistry - Millions are now affected by adrenal fatigue. A suppressed immune system, irregular sleep patterns, low bone density, irregular weight loss or gain, high blood pressure, and high cortisol levels are just a few of the symptoms that plague those who suffer from imbalanced adrenal health. The Oil of Lead helps to regulate the array of hormones produced within the Adrenal glands - Cortisol, Aldosterone, and Adrenaline. Cortisol is often referred to as a "stress hormone." this natural steroid can be released in large quantities if stress and inflammation remain consistent in the body. High cortisol levels can also lead to cravings of large amounts of sugar or stimulates. This can lead to an array of dietary, digestive, and cognitive issues if pursued. The Oil of Lead helps to regulate Cortisol levels increasing bone density, strengthening the Immune System, and increasing metabolism. Adrenaline production is also balanced when working with the Oil of Lead. This hormone relates to the fight-or-flight response and unconscious patterns of anxiety, fear, or paranoia. Removing unnecessary fight-or-flight sensations also helps to reduce stress levels and greatly balance body chemistry in profound ways.
Spiritual Profile
Spiritually, the Saturnian center was viewed as the transition point where spirit attached to body, filling the physical vessel with life and consciousness. These energies bring the individual Mind to be strongly rooted in the physical making it easier to “pull down" deeper levels of awareness, Self-actualization, divinity, manifestations, and ultimately the actualization thoughts, dreams, and goals in a very tangible way. This tangibility of mind and manifestation is made possible once you have integrated Saturns greatest lesson - the fear of death.
The Oil of Lead deals greatly with stress, fear, and insecurity. It touches upon and helps balance all of the physical, mental, and emotional manifestations that can create anxiety, avoidance, and dishonesty. If the essence of human behavior or immorality be explored, it is likely that the answer of "fear" will be the most common conclusion to peoples actions. And, it is Fear at large that must be understood for the spiritual traveler to succeed in their journey.
The fear of failure, rejection, unacceptance, and the bottomless slew of emotional pains one might avoid are reflected upon in Saturn's shadow. The fear of falling, breaking, or accruing physical discomfort, this is, in the end, the fear of death. The fear that things as you know it will end and that you can't know what happens beyond 'gone.' Good times might end and unknowns are bound to come after that. Whether that is the dying of a relationship, a belief system, a plan, or even a life - it is due to the unconscious ignorance of transition, transformation, and Self that leads an un-illumined mind to resist the present moment and manifest degenerate experiences based upon the pursuit of desires that lack life, love, health, beauty, joy, self-sustainability, and a sense of self-security.The Oil of Lead greatly slows the mental chatter that leads to those sensations and transmutes fear into the culminated embodiment of security and strength.
This is the true spiritual foundation - divine security in self and the strength to travel forward into infinity, into the unknown.
The Oil of Lead asks the user to slow down, take a seat, get centered, grounded, and reflect upon where your fears, inhibitions, dislikes, end general complaints originate from. Wherever there is internal friction, resistance, or stress - those are the places Lead will work to restructure. With no fear of failure or resistance to not having your preference met, uninhibited travel of physical and mental plains become easily attainable.
