Finally, I'm getting around to sharing some pictures from Stage One!

First, a photo of raw ingredients.

I was hoping to begin this tincture at sunrise on Thursday, 29 January 2009, as my memory suggested to me that this was the day and hour of Jupiter.

The next New Moon is set to occur on January 26, at 7:55 UT. i.e. a Monday. Melissa Officinalis, being a Jupiterian herb, should be processed in the first alchemical hour of the following Thursday, that is, on January 29, beginning at 7:04 and ending at 10:30 (at my location).
