It is your birthright to manifest the most fulfilling life EVER.  

Seriously, dear friend – you deserve to live a magnificent life, and tarot and alchemy can help you get there.  Tarot and alchemy will help you maintain a frequency of prosperity, curiosity, and expansion, too. These practices build dreams and stimulate orgasmic realities.

I love combining tarot and alchemy to reveal deeper truths about myself, my gifts, and the life I am meant to lead.

What Is Alchemy?

Alchemy is a fairly simple practice. You use it every day to transform your energy, your mindset, your feelings, and the physical world. Every time you make a choice, you activate the process of alchemy. That choice is the mechanism for creating something: a situation, a relationship, a feeling, and even a work of art.

It’s important to understand that alchemy is mathematical. It’s very formulaic in its practical application.  It does not judge or relay punishment. It relies on the Law of Cause and Effect – a Universal law that says what you sow is what you reap. That means you must be very specific in your magickal focus if you would like to use alchemy properly.

No distractions, guilt, shame, or disbelief.

If these things are included in your alchemical formula, you will sow them in life.  They will become a part of your alchemical experiment and affect its results. Again, this is not a judgment or criticism. It is a clinical fact. Like a mathematical equation, if you include a negative variable, it will impact the solution. A negative variable is one that “takes away”. I call this a lack-based idea – one that impacts the result you would like to experience. 

Fear, guilt, and shame are very good at taking away. They distract us from our goals. Negative variables affect the outcome of our experiments (and not for the better). There is a very simple solution to this: if you want to expand and grow, you need only add something. Today we are adding tarot to the mix to help you maintain your focus on your desired results.

Creating Your Alchemical Experiment!

Begin your experiment with a desire:

Maybe you’d like to manifest an amazing vacation – one where you feel like a real VIP.  Perhaps you decide that you would like to fly first class to Fiji and stay in one of those little bungalows that hover over the water (I’ve always wanted to stay in one!). You’d like to have plenty of spending money, nourish yourself with delicious foods, explore and pay respect to the surrounding cultural sites, etc. 

This desire is the result of your alchemical experiment (if this were a mathematical equation, you would already have your solution).  

Now you just need to figure out the variables! What energies are required to make this vacation happen? Sit down and think it through. Ask yourself what you need to activate to make your dream a reality.

These energies are required to make this trip a reality for me:

• Confidence
• Courage
• Clarity
• Discipline
• Connection
• Freedom

Zero in on the exact energies required and move on to step two!

Adding Tarot To Your Experiment!

Do you have a good feel for the energies required? It’s time to take a closer look at the Tarot archetypes and decide which ones to use to help you amplify your experiment. Tarot cards are excellent focal points, helping us keep our gaze fixed on the energies we need to create the desired result. They act as gateways into the Self as well, revealing areas that need strengthening or clarity. This is a powerful way to stimulate energy in parts of you that may have lain dormant.

Here are my personal Tarot archetypes:

• Confidence: The Magician
• Courage: Strength
• Clarity: The Hermit
• Discipline: The Chariot
• Connection: The Lovers
• Freedom: The Empress

Feel into the cards to determine which archetype will support the energy you would like to experience (and expand) in your life. This work will impact your whole existence! Working with archetypes is not a segmented experience – they spill into every crevice, every nook, and every cranny. Take a moment to consider how amazing it will be to have confidence, courage, clarity, discipline, connection, and freedom across the board.

Concentrate Your Energy!

I’m not going to lie – this is where things get dicey. 

Concentrating your energy is essential. It requires extreme confidence and a total willingness to give yourself to the Tarot archetypes. You may experience challenges as you fully align with these energies. This is a good sign. It indicates that you are moving out of stagnation into a new state of being. My biggest piece of advice for you is to power through.

Keep your mind and heart fixed on the Tarot archetypes, remembering that they are your true motive. They are working behind the scenes to reveal illusions that have kept you from experiencing yourself fully. This can be jarring (and even a little scary).

Power through, love.

Receive yourself with unconditional affection. Remind yourself that you are working with the best intentions. That these archetypes have got your back and will help you let go of beliefs, situations, and yes, even relationships that do not align with their natural emanation.

This is not a bad thing.

Children grow up and move out of the house to make a new life. You will do the same. Some people may be inspired by your journey and choose to follow. Others may not. Don’t worry about what they choose. Your journey is yours. It is beautiful, pure, and totally authentic. 

Embrace your path and forge ahead, dear friend!

Celebrate Your Results!

Gratitude is like fertilizer. It grows everything it touches.

As you become more aware of the ways that your selected archetypes manifest in your life, be sure to celebrate! The more you acknowledge the part these energies play in your experiences, the easier it is to work with them. You look forward to working with them. It feels delicious. Even orgasmic (there’s that word again)! Imagine how wonderful it will be to easily call up confidence in any situation, or freedom, for that matter.

These archetypes will become your allies, your mentors, your lovers, and your lifetime companions. You need only give yourself to them with total trust and let them do the rest!

A Final Word…

As you pull together these variables and work with them, you will discover how good it feels to honor your desires. You will become more aware of how alchemy works, too. How it moves and flows, helping you create a life with ease and affection. It really is a beautiful process and I encourage you to give this little experiment a shot!
