How Did Frankenstein Make the Monster?

One of the outstanding mysteries of Frankenstein is just how did Victor bring the Monster to life? We are given some clues that he had long studied famed authors of the Occult - Albertus Magnus, Cornelius Agrippa and Paracelsus - so what might we learn about making and animating monsters and the dead from these authors? From Necromancy, animating corpses with demons, the Kabbalistic Golem and the Homunculus let's explore how to make a Monster! This video is a collaboration with @AtunSheiFilms - make sure to check out his amazing, feature length video essay on Frankenstein here - https://youtu.be/CY3LkkAgePg?si=9WjgOo1YVqR8PzEd

I reckon one ought start with a body embalmed in the Egyptian way. The blood would need to be synthetic to resist the Saturnian torpor of death the iron being a triturated yet still breathing adamas stone. The organs too embalmed & fortified by doped glasses, Gems, & lamelae. The heart a vessel of rubine (gold doped) glass which has been tempered & prepared to hold the energic fluid of lightning. The eyes of some carbuncle or radiant gem (that newfangled radium or phosphorite The mind & tongue: a bronze head worked into the bone itself. The copper & tin threads shoved into muscle to set pathways for the voltaic force.
