This experiential set takes you on a journey into the seven gateways of alchemy, and by extension, the seven planets and seven chakras, by way of mythic lore, hermetic wisdom and archetypal integration.
Whether you are moved by ancient stories and myths, are an everlasting pupil of the hermetic arts, or are fascinated by the inner workings of the psyche, this set contains a holistic approach to alchemical transformation, helping us all move through life’s initiations with greater flow, understanding and beauty.
Calcination:
Upon great transformations, shifts in consciousness and quantum leaps, we must first symbolically burn through the stagnant and often toxic energy which keeps us stuck in unhealthy patterns.
Examining the remnants of the Dissolution phase, the alchemist sifts and sorts, reviewing what elements are aligned with the true Self, and what elements are not aligned and need to be discarded.
From the elements and parts of the Self that are kept in the process of Separation, a divine union takes place, leading to a beautiful integration of the conscious Self and the unconscious Self, also known as the Alchemical Marriage.
The new unified Self that was created in Conjunction now goes through it’s own transformation. Here, it must break down in order to resurrect into it’s highest form; Spirit.
The Spirit retrieved from Fermentation goes through another level of refinement, where it is clarified, purified, and elevated. Distillation requires a repeated process of Solve et Coagula, separating and uniting in order to unlock its most pure form.
The purified Spirit retrieved from Distillation crystallizes into physical form. This is what is known as the Philosopher’s Stone.
The more integrated we are, the more enlightened and refined we become as human beings, coming closer and closer to the original Self; to wholeness; to the Gold.
