Instructions for making Orgone Skull

what is an orgone skull?

It looks mostly like any other skull, except it is made of resin and not crystal or gemstone, as we have become accustomed to think of The Skulls.  But it doesn't end there. Apart from the resin, it contains orgone energy - as discovered by Wilhelm Reich. The trick is how to get the orgone energy into the skull, which is what I am working to discover right now. At first I thought the resin was mixed with water, and I had read that the way to energise water is to put some soil in it (allotment soil ideal) and stir it, let the muck settle, then pour off the energised water. However now it seems you do not mix the resin with water, but with catalyst (activator). So we shall see,

point of making an orgone skull

Apart from containing earth energy, and this being my particular piece of earth on this planet, for over 20 years, an orgone skull can be programmed to do whatever the owner  wants - if the owner is also the creator, how much more powerful.

where to get an orgone skull if you do not want to make one

Website tools for enlightenment run by Robert Oliveri has some lovely ones. Robert is a very gifted man, I would buy one of his skulls like a shot, had I the available readies, but then I thought how much more fun to make my own.

what will it involve?

A lot of mess and mud - lovely!  A lot of researching, sourcing products, learning about processes I know nothing about. This part of the project  has already begun, and as always I am amazed at how helpful people are - I have had such detailed emails and am learning a lot already. It is also good when you are told two different methods or processes by two different people, you can see there are more ways than one to skin a cat, and some ways appeal more than others - sometimes you can see between the two that there might be a third way. It's good to exercise choice.

Step 1 - first build your model

The first step is the original creation which I am going to do in clay. As I already have a picture in my head of how this skull will look - primitive, other-worldly in that it does not resemble any skull on this planet - I only have to begin. At present I am seeing only the top of the head, but I know that when I start the rest will become clear.

 

I am going to dig up clay from the allotment for my first effort - which may also be my last - depends on what I think of it when done. Most likely I will redo it with some red clay from here. Christine Hesketh has been really helpful. I think a skull made from professional clay will probably dry quicker and better, and make a mould better.

Step 2 - make a latex mould

This is the best solution to mould-making I have seen so far, bearing in mind I have only seen this one. You get the latex here - you can either paint it on, or dip the skull in it (latter sounds preferable, if I can afford enough latex. See Robert Oliveri's comment on silicone

Step 3 - create a plaster support cast

Naturally, being latex, the mould will be a bit like a rubber glove, it will sag and stretch when the resin is poured in. So after checking that the mould is okay, you have to reinsert the skull (I imagine that like a rubber glove the mould will stretch) and then you have to more or less encase the whole thing in plaster so that the mould will be held to its shape (bor - ring!).  There are detailed instructions how to do this in a way that you can open the cast in two haves after wards, you also make notches to show where the two halves match up (like dressmaking). Quite frankly, this sounds the trickiest part of the process, and where things could go desperately wrong.

Step 4 - mix and pour the resin

Now you buy resin - you can get this on ebay, or from the latex place.  Here are some instructions how to do the layers and embed the natural objects - I want to use leaves and flowers, dont know how good they will look, ie will they crumple, it is essential to use crystals and metals - preferably the metals in spirals

Instructions from Environmental Technology Inc

Multiple Layer Casting (Embedding):

Embedding objects in plastic resin involves making a casting of 2 or more layers with embedments sandwiched between the layers. Generally, you work in reverse when embedding objects. The first layer you pour becomes the top or face of your casting. Pour first layer of catalyzed resin into mould. Allow to gel until firm enough to support the embedments (20-30 minutes). Catalyze second batch of resin and stir. To avoid trapping air, dip embedments into the catalyzed resin; set in place face down on the first gelled layer. Pour balance of catalyzed resin over embedments. If embedments are not yet covered or if you want a coloured background, pour a third clear or coloured layer after the second layer has gelled. Embedments can be placed in several levels to create a "floating" appearance. After final layer has been poured, allow casting to harden completely before removing from the mould

Finally

Allow it to set, remove latex - maybe you can use this again if you want another copy - you should also be able to use the plaster cast??

What I dont know

how to get the orgone energy into the skull if not using water.  

Results of correspondence

Robert Oliveri - on suitable materials for making moulds I would suggest using silicone rtv. as opposed to latex. A silicone mould will last for much longer than a latex.To do a silicone mould you have to make a wooden box a little larger than the mould since the material is expensive you don't want to waste too much.
Robert Oliveri - on the organic nature of resin Resin is made from petroleum which is made from fossils hence it is organic in nature
Christine Hesketh - on using garden clay You can dig up clay from the ground, you would need to take out the stones and other matter and then you have to break it down and put it into a bucket and cover it with water - the clay then works down to a mush and you then have to turn this out onto something porous ie plaster and leave to harden slightly -  it then needs to kneaded to bring it together into a solid lump. The clay is then ready to use.
Christine Hesketh - on how much clay to order It depends on whether the skull is solid, or you have hollowed it out, either way you would have to buy a bag which is 12.5kg and this would be enough if the skull was solid. If you are casting from it then you wouldn't need to fire it anyway.  If you do fire it then the skull would have to be hollow or it would explode in the kiln! Delivery/carriage/postage would depend on where you live in the country - either way we will ship it to you for the same amount it costs us as we don't add on to the price.  We also re-use packaging as we like to recycle. Clay naturally air dries and it would be quite hard once dry, extremities would be vulnerable though.  You could coat it in a layer of varnish.
