Since learning how to build orgonite pyramids a few months ago I have discovered that the majority of devices in this quickly growing marketplace are predominantly useless at best, dangerous at worst. Aesthetics and the cost of production have become more important than functionality and most creators hold the goal of money as their intention while they make them, ultimately not understanding the power of the machine they are creating. Nor I suspect do they have any idea about the history behind this device, which I will describe for you in this post.
Take Sabrina's recent creation for example.
It is undeniably beautiful and the strong intention she had while she made it for her mother combined with the small amount of copper and mixed crystals in there will no doubt have a positive effect. Moreover, now that she has a design template for this she could probably make ten pyramids a day and sell them on Amazon or Etsy for €50 a piece. But is this truly what orgonite is supposed to be? A business selling pyramids which are around 75% epoxy resin?
And let's not make this about Sabrina! Even my own first attempt suffers from the same problem.
Mostly it is full of resin and I cannot in good conscience call this a machine built for functionality. Yet a functional machine is what I desire, so something needs to change.
What follows is a brief description of the related history along with my personal conclusions and finally a step by step DIY description of how to build one yourself.
The evolution of a questionable industry
Karl Welz was the first person to coin the term orgonite in the 1980s. His early experiments to create an Orgone generator (as opposed to Reich's Orgone accumulator) were with iron filings and he ultimately recommended using powder to increase conductivity within the organic medium. Yet today almost no one uses iron powder because it is heavy, expensive and doesn't look reflective and pretty like aluminium shavings. It is said Welz was influenced by Franz Anton Mesmer who in 1766 published 'The influence of planets on the human body' and later went on to establish a system of healing which involved the patient swallowing a liquid containing iron powder before placing magnets on the body. I can trace this subject as far back as 1621 to Jan Baptist van Helmont who published 'Magnetic treatment of wounds', influencing the later work of Mesmer.
In the 1950s Wilhelm Reich had recommended avoiding aluminium altogether in the creation of Orgone accumulators yet today there are so many orgonites and cloudbusters with aluminium as their core metal, simply because it is convenient. You can just cut cans into pieces!
Don Croft was the first person to take Reich's Orgone accumulator and combine it with Welz' Orgone generator (setting the copper accumulator within an orgonite block), which in principle seems like a great idea, taking away all danger of accumulated DOR (deadly Orgone). But he recommended using aluminium shavings in the resin, arguing that Reich's aluminium statement has been misunderstood and that Welz used powder primarily for his radionics devices and not for orgonite.
Following on from the work of Croft, Mitch the Orgone donor created an even cheaper alternative by using aluminium tubes for his Induction chembuster. I had intended to build his described machine exclusively due to the accessible price tag, but having looked deeper into this subject I intend now to build something even better.
I don't at all want to take away from the ongoing gifting projects and good intentions behind the work of Don & Mitch but there is something out of place about all of this. It was simply too easy to find them. The search engine led me right to them. And only now in hindsight can I say why:
Those who are selling potentially dangerous or ineffective devices have been permitted to shine online. While those who are selling functional devices will not be so easy to find. Don't be under any illusions about how the internet works these days. Certainly you will not see anything which resembles a fully functional machine on Amazon or Etsy.
Let us not forget that Croft simply wanted to make this technology available to as many people as possible. Just like Mitch. Which in itself is an honourable intention but perhaps this is not the kind of game in which corners should be cut, even if the machine appears to work fine upon doing so. Consistent functionality & safety is more important than instant results.
In 2018 Croft died in a paragliding accident (karma?) so I am unable to quiz him further. Only review his old notes which have been immortalised on this forum by his wife Carol. As a side note, neither of them looked particularly healthy and I find it hard to believe their machines were aiding their physical bodies. Which they should be if they are working right!
Karl Welz on the other hand looked more like a man who really had invented a machine to enhance life-giving energy.
Mitch the Orgone donor is the only man described here who is still alive so I wrote him an email three months ago with questions relating to iron/aluminium issue but he never got back to me. I know we all live busy lives but it seems to me that when you hold that kind of power (Mitch is basically the top guy in the world right now for this kind of thing) you should respond to your emails.
Anyway, he didn't respond and I remain unconvinced by Croft's arguments. Like @woelfchen, I feel as if one should build on the original ideas to find the most effective way forward, especially when one is making something as powerful as a cloudbuster.
And so, it is with great pleasure that I present to you now my first attempt at a functional orgonite, which is a prelude to the cloudbuster. And I thank @woelfchen for his help along the way. Am sending him my best wishes.
The basalt pyramid
Before I created the iron pyramid I did a test run using basalt. It is a paramagnetic rock and when formed into a pyramid shape I have no doubt it will do something beneficial for plants.
The first thing I did was to coil copper around my selected quartz. Clockwise from the bottom to send the energy upward. This is the heart of the machine.
I also made another copper spiral for the front, connecting it to the quartz spiral.
A closer look here.
In goes the basalt and resin...
...and a few days later I had this.
Am not too fussed about the bubbles in this case but as you can see the front spiral is completely lost in the basalt. Technically this machine doesn't really need the front spiral but I am keen to put it there anyway, to give the pyramid a unique and more powerful feel to it.
The iron pyramid
My solution was to drop a small amount of resin onto the front spiral with the mold set at an angle to stop it running out.
I also placed a small amethist at the centre, before leaving it one day to dry. Please note this is just for effect, rather than function.
Here is the iron powder I am using. From Germany.
And here is the copper spiral I intend to put at the base. Again, I don't really need this but would like it there anyway.
In my last post @ifeherart pointed out to me that the Nazca Lines feature very similar spirals.
Which is amazing! Evidently this type of spiral holds some significance.
Perhaps this is why I feel instinctively drawn towards it?
Here you can see me measuring out the correct two part resin mix.
We've had a few disasters recently with pyramids which ended up looking like this, so absolute precision is required for the resin mix ratios.
Unlike the previous attempt I made this one in two layers. With the first layer I created a little pyramid at the top and left it to dry half a day.
Can you see the little face smiling at me? Love little moments like this ;)
Here is our horizontal drying area, complete with a sign to keep sticky little fingers off the surface of the resin!
I prepared my terminated quartz with its copper spiral.
And placed it into the setting resin with this white tack above to hold the crystal upright.
Then I added the rest of the resin and iron powder, filling it to the brim and adding the Nazca spiral as the cherry on the cake.
The front spiral looks great now and I like the way there is a small separation between the two layers, giving it a capstone feel at the top.
Can't really see the amethist though. Which is fine of course because it isn't part of the functional machine. Just surface cosmetics.
My skills as a 'sensitive' are still in development but certainly it feels good in my hands. Much heavier than I expected.
It spent its first night under my bed and my dreams were unquestionably different, taking me to unfamiliar yet enjoyable places.
Final thoughts
In my research for this article I came across what appears to be the best description available for what orgonite actually is. I will copy it for you now:
“…Dr. Reich found that organic materials attract and hold orgone energy, while non-organic metals simultaneously attract and repel the energy.
Orgonite is based on these two principles. It is a 50-50 mix of resin (organic, due to the fact that it is based on petrochemicals), and metal shavings (inorganic). A quartz crystal is also added to the orgonite mix. This is because of its piezoelectric properties, which means that it gives off a charge when it is put under pressure (resin shrinks when it is cured, so constant pressure is put on the quartz crystal).
Due to the fact that the elements contained in orgonite are constantly attracting and repelling energy, a “scrubbing” action takes place, and along with the charge that the crystal gives off, this cleans stagnant and negative energy, and brings it back to a healthy, vibrant state.”
And so, in order to achieve a 50/50 mix with the resin/metal one simply cannot have empty spaces of pure resin within their device. Nor I would argue can they have shavings in place of powder because it simply isn't possible to achieve the 50/50 mix this way. Even the copper spiral around the quartz is perhaps unnecessary because at its base only three things are essential in this machine: an organic medium, suspended metal particles and a quartz crystal.
Have never much liked the idea of a petrochemical product as the organic medium and it seems to me that beeswax would be a much more natural alternative. One only has to look at the stuff to see its incredible power.
As noted by Yannick VD, beeswax is also a natural cosmic antenna (you could also say an Orgone antenna), so would further increase the effectiveness of the machine. The problem of course is that your wax will become soft in the summer and this may cause your device to shift around and change in some way. (The cloudbuster tubes rely on a solid medium at the base to hold them upright).
Just in the last few days I had the idea to mix clay powder with the wax and achieve the correct balance to prevent it from melting when hot. Have looked online but I cannot see anyone else doing this, so it would appear that I will be breaking boundaries with my cloudbuster. Which is great!
Continued intuitive development is essential in any field which does not provide the means to measure effectiveness.
With that said I will do my best in the next post to show you comparative results using cups of frozen water resting on the pyramids. Theoretically I should be able to prove that one pyramid is more effective than another by the way the water freezes.
Let's find out...
Love & Light everyone 🌱
