Fermentation- Stage 1. Putrefaction

Vibration- Driscollee’s Organic Blackberries

Metal- Mercury

Fermentation is a two step process starting with Putrefaction and secondly Spiritizatoin. Putrefaction is combining the product of conjunction the Oversoul Child with new life to ensure its survival. This step in the alchemical process is represented by Liquor Hepatis, “Liquor of the Liver” which they believed the Liver was the seat of the soul. They used ammonia and hydrogen sulfide by heating camel dung in a container because they believed it contained the life force. Surprisingly to me, the “Balsam of the Soul” was a sweet smelling perfume

At these time I tried Driscoll’s Blackberries and I wanted to get sponsored by a non-musical brand like Marshawn Lynch so I messaged them on Instagram and asked how does an artist get sponsored? They asked if I had any songs about blackberries so I said I would write a black metal song about blackberries. I tried Driscoll’s blackberries and I thought they were better than candy and I was amazed nature could make something so perfect. Then I realized my nature is perfect too even though I play metal music. Metal is the “Balsam of my Soul”. It seemed like its not for everyone, but blackberries aren’t for everyone either.

Fermentation allows for elements to come together and transform into greater pleasures. Things we think are foul give way to beauty.
