Metals In Orgonite, Is Aluminium Harmful?
Aluminium & Other Metals In Orgonite
In principle Orgonite can be made with any metal. Apparently the main criterion for the strength of the energy conversion effect is the number of layers of alternatingly resin and metal. In our experience aluminium (aluminium) works best for strong Orgonite. Also aluminium forms fine crystals at the shearing surfaces when it is shaved off a solid bar or block. These micro crystals seem to contribute to the Orgone generating effect.
Iron works, but the shavings normally obtained are quite clunky and thick which results in very heavyweight creations in order to achieve the same quantitative effect as with a relatively lightweight Orgonite tool.
For personal healing tools other metals may be added for their specific finer resonances, such as gold, copper, brass, silver, titanium etc. As with gemstones and crystals, the finer energetic properties of any material will be enhanced by adding them to Orgonite. We are aware that from certain corners a negative sentiment against the use of aluminium in Orgonite is being spread. We have found no evidence for any negative effects from aluminium. All the often dramatically positive results documented on this site have been achieved with standard aluminium Orgonite. That is: polyester resin, aluminium and quartz crystals with sometimes other gemstones added.
Some people on the web have been stating that aluminium, and sometimes copper too, cannot be used in Orgonite because Wilhelm Reich supposedly said that these metals are harmful to the body. This is certainly not the case as I have been adding those two ingredients for over 15 years and I am of perfect health, in fact I have had only 4 colds in this time.
First, Reich worked with different devices, not Orgonite. Reich made Orgone accumulators from different materials, to capture the Orgone and concentrate it inside a box, in which his test subjects would absorb the high concentration of Orgone for spiritual healing purposes. Wilhelm Reich’s Orgone energy accumulators were in the form of rectangular boxes which consisted of alternate layers of organic and metallic materials, such as cotton or cellulose and aluminium or iron.
Wilhelm Reich’s devices were a lot more intense than a Towerbuster, HHG or a Pyramid that are made today as mentioned below his patients had to sit in his closed Orgone Accumulator box so the Orgone energy would be so intense and would be directed at the patient from all angles, this is why he stated that Aluminium was too potent a metal to be used in HIS devices, but it’s absolutely perfect and the metal of choice for best results in todays Orgonite.
Reich’s continuing experiments in this field disclosed that organic materials attract and collect Orgone energy from the atmosphere. The metallic material acts to both repel and contain the Orgone, and thus the combination of both materials produces an ideal collector or accumulator of Orgone energy.
Accumulator experiments with humans showed that the pain of burns was eliminated or radically diminished in a few minutes, and the healing took place quickly, without scar; skin conditions would either clear up or be made worse, depending on the type; cancer cases did not develop anaemia, and the patient’s blood improved. In all cases, the results seemed to be due to a building up of energy in the organism. Where the energy was already high, patients could not tolerate the accumulator; depressed patients were helped in rebuilding their energy.
Experimenting with different metals, he found that an ORAC lined with aluminium caused a loss of fur when used on mice, while a lining of iron gave the best results.
This does not mean that aluminium was bad or harmful.
Aluminium is a much lighter element than iron, and copper, and has a much stronger radiance of life energy. This is well known by people who work energetically with metals. The lighter the metal, the stronger the radiance. When you work with lighter metals, like aluminium, one has to shorter one’s exposure.
Too much Orgone does the damage, not the choice of metal. Having said that to obtain over exposure from Orgonite you would need to have around 5000 Orgone pyramids under your bed at night.
