Description: The Octo is a ' 5" on edge ' octahedron, with a ' 3 1/3" on edge '
tetrahedron in the middle. It takes three pourings to create one Octo. Steel,
aluminum and brass filings have been used in the same Octo to increase the range
of transmuting frequencies. A tetrahedron is used to lock together the two
pyramid halves of the Octo. Six single point quartz crystals glued inside six
SBB coil-cones (also referred to as 'catcoils' or 'catmagnet coils') are at the
six points of the Octo. The copper cones are 1 1/2 inches high, each made out of
14 inches of copper wire. This gives the Octo an omni-directional quality with
plenty of room around the waist of the Octo to filter DOR through the orgonite
and direct the healthy orgone out at the points. The copper cones tend to
recirculate DOR back towards the middle where the tetrahedron also transmutes
the DOR. I have placed cube shaped Alnico magnets inside the tetrahedrons to
further stir the DOR through the orgonite. If the Octo were to be described as a
kitchen Mix-Master the speed setting would be on "puree".
Molds: To make the Octos, you will need at least one each of these molds:
- 5" (127mm) pyramid (half of an octahedron is a pyramid) mold
- 3 1/3" (84.6mm) tetrahedron mold
How
to make the molds: On the sheet metal (ZSL used zinc coated steel, you could
also use aluminum or copper sheeting as long as it is thick enough to hold its
shape), draw out the four equilateral triangles for the pyramid, and three
equilateral triangles for the tetrahedrons. Arrange them with the edges of the
triangles abutting one another as shown. Score the fold lines with a sharp knife
(or stylus) for a good straight crease. Cut neatly around the outline of each
group of triangles with tin snips. The last seam is taped together with masking
tape or duct-tape (or aluminum tape). These molds rest upside down on a wooden
frame with suitably cut holes (alternately, you can use a glass or plastic jar
to support the molds while pouring. Once the molds are ready to use, it is best
to wipe or spray the insides of them with a release agent in order to prevent
the resin from sticking to the sides of the mold). I have found 80 to 90 weight
gear oil best on zinc coated steel.

Mixing:
Regular orgonite has equal volumes of metal filings and resin. With the Octos I
have been mixing equal volumes of metal filings with sand-blasting quartz then
mixing in catalyzed resin until every single bit of resin is saturated with
metal filings/sand. (ZSL was producing a wonderful MHD orgonite in the Octos
that I saw on our water gifting trip to 3 valley gap, with some of the tets in
the center of the units made from HD orgonite) The consistency of the mix is
similar to that of porridge. I have been experimenting with mica and pyrite
sands as well. In Jon Logan's Wizzer's Blend there is para-magnetic earth,
(pyrite and chalcopyrite), and selenite ores. At pinch of this can be added to
the mix to increase the transmuting strength of the orgonite. Hematite, galena
and other metal ores could be tried.

Pouring: The tetrahedrons can be poured in one step, and then the single quartz
crystal added. A favorite tetrahedron is made of brass key filings and a single
moquis stone. A moquis is a spherical tectite with the density of pumice. This
tetra has a fiery action to it. I have also placed "Apache Tears" (natural
obsidian nodules) in tetras as well as the Alnico cube magnets. Mixing steel
filings with magnets in resin is like permanently locking lines of magnetic
force in resin. It chews through DOR like a buzz saw.

The half octahedron pyramid molds are first poured with about an inch of
resin/metal filings/sand and an SBB coil cone (once called a catcoil by some)
with single point quartz glued inside it is placed at the bottom of the mold.

Then the mold is filled to about a quarter inch from the brim. This is to allow
placement of the tetrahedron. Two points of the tetrahedron rest on two opposing
mid-points of the faces of the pyramid mold.

Then four SBB coil cones with quartzes are pointed towards the corners (the
small end of the coil points outward, away form the center of the unit, and the
xtal points outward as well).

The thickness of the resin mix allows the tetra and coils to float above the
surface of the resin mix now full to the brim (the wide ends of the coils also
help to keep the tetrahedron positioned in the center of the pyramid). This is
allowed a couple of hours to set.

Pull the half Octo from the mold and use the same mold to finish the Octo. Clean
and oil the mold. Pour one inch and place the sixth SBB coil cone and quartz at
the bottom.

Fill the mold until it is full, then place the other half on top to complete the
octahedronal shape. Allow the extra resin mix to gush out and fill all the
spaces around the tetrahedron and copper coils (if you don't have a bit of resin
overflowing when you try to cast two halves together like this, you will wind up
with big gaps and bubbles between the two halves). This allows the halves to
lock together firmly.

Allow a couple of hours to set. The two halves can be different metal filings.
Most Octos I have made have had aluminum filings on one half, steel filings on
the other half and brass filings in the tetrahedron. The rough edge joining the
two halves can be hammered smooth. The sand gives the resin a harder stronger
consistency (may be easier to hammer it than sand it).
Energy Qualities: These Octos have a different "tone" than regular orgonites.
When the resin is hardening there is a "whistle" like an aetheric tea kettle
gaining a full head of steam. Jon Logan sees a fine mesh "filtering" action to
the orgone moving off the six points. Dropping an Octo in deep water a tuning
fork like chime can be "heard" within a few seconds as it fall deeper into the
water. As the water pressure increases the "tone" increases in volume.
Everywhere Octos were dropped birds showed up. Even though it is water gifting
the creatures and elementals of the air recognize the benefits. Ley-lines can be
created or strengthened by placing five to seven Octos along a hundred mile line
such as the Okanogan Valley. As the Okanogan is already a ley-line following a
fault-line, the intent was to help purify the water and air in alignment with
the Earthstar Grid.
