part1 In The Beginning

My Orgonite Vision



In the beginning of my journey with orgonite, I was very sceptical. I was a long way from being convinced of its ability to do anything other than rip off gullible hippies, but I was about to learn that orgone works in mysterious ways…

I had come across orgonite years before. It was a Big Green Gathering festival and a friend had purchased an orgonite cone. The resin was not the best and the metal shavings were pretty random in size, shape and position. With great enthusiasm, she relayed to me what she had been told about orgone generators and how they neutralized electro-magnetic pollution by producing positive orgone energy.

I looked at her as she eulogised about orgone energy while trying to work out if she had been duped or had in fact found some sort of do-it-yourself, miracle energy generator. It seemed too good to be true and what of this strange orgone business? Did the cloudy resin and scrap metal combination I held in my hands actually emit anything? I could not decide and so put it on the back burner of my admittedly intrigued mind to come back to after the festival.

Not being able to feel any energy from the device nor understanding the principles of how it worked to any degree of satisfaction, I was in no hurry to research this orgone stuff but neither did I dismiss it out of hand. I decided that it was unlikely anyone would have concocted such an elaborate ruse to sucker money out of festival goers, more likely there was enough in it to warrant further investigation. There was something about it that appealed to me. If I can understand what it is meant to do and how it is suppose to do it then maybe I can try making something for myself I thought. Aesthetically speaking there was certainly room for improvement in the design I had seen but more than anything the combination of experimentation and self-empowerment appealed to me. One day, I thought I must give it a go…

I never did.

The years rolled by and with them all my good intentions. I simply forgot about it, until that is, I visited Brighton.

I had previously been intuitively called to attend a spiritual camp somewhere outside of Brighton in the south of England. When I say called, I mean that I felt a strong inclination that the next piece of the puzzle would be waiting there for me. When I say puzzle I mean the unfolding story of my spiritual progression on life’s journey. Anyway, I had an inkling that the “Heart Space” event would provide me with the next step forward on my path.

Never doubt your intuition. If it is anything like mine it will always keep you on the right path. Sure enough two days in to the event I met a girl who told me all about a type of spiritual/emotional development course that had changed her life. It just happened that the guy that ran it was also there and would be running one of these life changing occasional courses in a couple of weeks time in Rottingdean, Brighton.


I was introduced and listened to everything he had to say. He quickly dispatched all my testing questions about the course to my satisfaction and I began to feel that this could be the next piece of the puzzle I had been waiting for. I had previously decided to go with the intuitive feeling that seemed to be pulling me on towards a new adventure and as the course leader spoke, I felt it again. This was it; I was going to take the course.

The course took the form of an intensive, carefully orchestrated and controlled psychological breakdown of the participants. The idea is that we all have patterns of reactionary behaviour that inhibit and prevent us from expressing our true nature in the moment. These patterns are caused more often than not by some sort of trauma that occurred earlier in life or even in a previous life, which has subsequently become a subconscious filter. By exposing these filters and becoming more consciously aware of them as reactionary patterns, we can choose to become more aware in the moment without them colouring our judgement.

This was not quite what I had imagined from the explanation given to me at Heart Space but I followed the intuition and saw the course through. There were a number of elements that when combined led to moments of deep personal insight. The activities ranged from simple discussions about human behaviour to stress posture positions designed to release emotional blockages, all while being held within a safe environment facilitated by a group of support staff.

Overall, I found the course very helpful with where I was in my life at that time but the reason for mentioning it here is because of the vision I experienced during the first week of the course.

Meditation was one of the many elements we were required to explore. We were taught a meditation technique and given a mantra to use while meditating, once in the morning and once in the evening.

It was while meditating in this way that I started to think about orgonite. After years locked away on that back burner of my mind here it was again. At first I dismissed it as part of the background chatter you can become aware of as you try to still the mind, but the deeper I went the more I thought about orgonite. I hadn’t thought about this in years but over a period of a week’s meditation I decided not only that I would make some orgonite to test the principles for myself but also that the orgonite something should be a personal hand-held device. It was clear to me by the fifth day of meditation that I was going to make an orgone-generating wand. I could see it clearly in my mind and I got very excited as I gathered metal, resin and crystals to manifest an orgonite crystal wand.

The crystal I used as a point emerging from the wand was an etched quartz I had had for years; with it, I combined amethyst, ruby, kunzite, selenite, fluorite and citrine crystal chips. I had been a collector of crystals for years. My affinity with the mineral kingdom began with a school trip to the science museum where my lunch money was exchanged for a rough rose quartz specimen. Now, many rocks later, having studied crystal healing and their metaphysical properties I realised that very few orgonite makers were really making full use of the power of crystals and crystal combinations. I also realised that having collected rocks for so long I now had a new use for some of the minerals I had already gathered.

The metal part was a bit more of a problem. Not knowing any engineering firms in the area to get some swarf from I bought some garden wire instead. To this, I added a copper pipe connecter and a length of chain for a sink plug.

This was all mixed with some polyester resin in a glass vase from a charity shop. Thankfully, the resin set properly allowing me to break the glass around it and retrieve the finished product and within two weeks from first seeing the wand in my meditation the envisioned object was now a 3D reality.




Yeva's Wand - my first orgonite device

    What could it do I wondered. I did not feel its energy as easily back then but I did find it very difficult to put down. I felt drawn to carry it around with me or to sleep with it under my pillow.

One day not long after the wand's emergence from the vase I found myself feeling drawn to place it between my shoulder blades with the point sticking up as I wedged it between my back and the sofa. I began to read a book and soon forgot about the orgone generating crystal combo behind me as it merged in to the folds of the soft cushions I was leaning on.

It must have been a good twenty minutes before I suddenly felt a rush of energy shoot up my spine snapping my head forward with a sensation of opening from the back of my neck up to the crown of my head. It was not an unpleasant feeling; it was more like an expansive, euphoric sense of peace washing over me.

The sensation faded as quickly as it had started and I wondered what had just happened to me, then I remembered the wand sitting behind me. I cocked my head back and felt the exposed crystal point of the orgonite wand meet the base of my skull. What did you just do to me I thought. It seemed I really had produced a powerful energy tool of some kind but how should I use it and what was it capable of? More experimentation was needed and perhaps some feedback from the more sensitive of my friends. I had little idea at that time where those experiments would lead but I knew that my journey with orgonite had just begun.
