Thanks for the fascinating audio. Are you familiar with the book Mercurius by Patrick Harpur? It delves deeply into the Alchemical process, unfolding the step by step stages within the body of a story. It's also filled with historical references. It's the best explanation of Alchemy I've come across and a great read to boot.
Ha! that's interesting - what is the mistake? (I don't have access to my deck right now, but I'll look when I get home.) I really like all her decks. I'm especially fond of the Alchemy, Archetype and Animal Spirit decks (not so much her Tarot deck). I've learned that the wisdom in the guidebooks is profound and not to pull cards lightly - they nail things time and time again.
Just now listened! Very much enjoyed this. I also looked up Patrick Harpur’s books which look intriguing. I just finished a 2 year spiritual direction course that featured much of Jung, also included some alchemy. I use a deck of Alchemy cards by Kim Krans (the wild unknown) - are you familiar?
Thank you so much Alyssa. This was your dream, your symbols, operations you chose, but so helpfull in my current situation. Your reflection specially about coagulatio - slowing down, patience and tempering expectations - was what I needed to hear today.
What a beautiful and concise scenario to view the several alchemical processes mentioned. The replanting of the onion after ablutio brought to mind the alchemical Pelican beaker, in which the material is reintroduced into the process (with itself) again. Thank you Alyssa for your good work.🙏

Okay - good to know - I like details like that. I'll make a note in my book - thanks! ; )
