Hey Pumpkins! Today we will be working through the last 4 stages of Spiritual Alchemy. Since these have already been introduced we will jump straight in. The 7 Stages of Spiritual Alchemy: 1. Calcination  2. Dissolution 3. Separation 4. Conjunction 5. Fermentation  6. Distillation  7. Coagulation 4. Conjunction  The first 3 stages can be combined in order to create the stage of conjunction. This is where we bring together all of the elements. Here we begin to pull together our true, and natural self. It is where our journey materializes.  Although our journey through Spiritual Alchemy never truly ends, during stage 4 we begin to pull together and body and spirit. We gain balance and harmony within ourselves and therefore our surroundings.  5. Fermentation Also called Putrefaction, this stage of fermentation is when our old self is buried, or deceased, and our new self is born. This is the process of rebirth. Here we begin our new journey, the main character...

 Hey Pumpkins, we are back with more knowledge. Many of you may have heard of the book 'The Alchemist', if you have not then I highly recommend it. There are 2 types of Alchemy, chemical and spiritual. We, of course, will be talking about Spiritual Alchemy.  The 7 Stages of Spiritual Alchemy: 1. Calcination  2. Dissolution 3. Separation 4. Conjunction 5. Fermentation  6. Distillation  7. Coagulation Alchemy is a medieval chemical science. An old age natural philosophy. Alchemists studied ways to transform one substance into another. Alongside this, they looked for ways that this transformation could correspond to astrology and magick. Spiritual Alchemy is the unfleshly version. This is the transformation of your inner self.   Today we will cover the first 3 stages of Spiritual Alchemy: Calcination; Dissolution; and Separation.  1. Calcination - Burning to Ashes  Calcination, the first stage of Spiritual Alchemy, is also called the Black Stage...

Hey, Pumpkins! The 7 Hermetic Principles. We have covered what they are and the first 3 Principles in the previous post. If you have not yet seen this, I highly suggest you run off and read that one first. For now.....Let's jump in! The Principle of Mentalism The Principle of Correspondence  The Principle of Vibration The Principle of Polarity The Principle of Rhythm The Principle of Cause and Effect The Principle of Gender 4. The Principle of Polarity "Everything is dual; everything has poles; everything has its pair of opposites; like and unlike are the same; opposites are identical in nature but different in degree; extremes meet; all truths are but half-truths; all paradoxes may be reconciled." - The Kybalion Opposites are the same. Breaks your brain right?  A good example would be ice and steam. Although different, they are essentially both water. The same concept can be shown in physical matter and spiritual energy. They are both vibrations.  The Principle of Polari...

Hey, Pumpkins! How can you make life turn in favor of you? The 7 Hermetic Principles. The natural laws of the universe. Let's take a deeper look. What are the 7 Hermetic Principles? Hermeticism is a form of philosophy dating back many years. They are said to have come from the writings of renowned author Hermes Trismegitus. These principles were passed down through generations by word of mouth, later being printed into book form. (Specifically in the Kybalion.) Some may say that there are 12 principles but we will only talk about the 7 main ones. The Principle of Mentalism The Principle of Correspondence  The Principle of Vibration The Principle of Polarity The Principle of Rhythm The Principle of Cause and Effect The Principle of Gender Today we will focus on the first 3 Principles; Mentalism; Correspondence; and Vibration. 1. The Principle of Mentalism "The All is Mind; The Universe is Mental" - The Kybalion This Principle is also known as step 1 in manifestation. It re...

Hey Pumpkins, do you know what your life purpose is? If you don't, that's absolutely fine. Most of us don't, I certainly don't. There is a Japanese concept called your Ikigai. This is your purpose.  What is Ikigai? The first time I heard about this concept was from the TV show "Mr. Iglesias". Strange, I know. I was drawn to it and needed to know more. The Japanese concept of Ikigai is a way used to find your life purpose or your "reason of being". In Japanese "iki" means life and "gai" is your value or worth. I know as well as any that life often feels pointless as if you have no reason, no purpose. I, along with all of our ancestors and history, am here to tell you otherwise. You do have a purpose and your life has a meaning. You just need to let it find you. This may take years, even all your life, but it will  find you.  How to find your Ikigai Although it is often said that your Ikigai/ purpose will find you, you can also find...

 Hey, Pumpkins! We have recently entered flu season...the struggles of life. The coughing, exhaustion, sinus, and being dramatic feeling like you may die. You (probably) won't, but here are some remedies to help you through.  Coughing There are a few remedies that can help with coughing. These can range from tea to cough drops to throat sprays and more.  Let's start with a simple tea:                                                   You will need:                                                   Boiled water                                          ...

Hey, Pumpkins! We all know what is right and what is wrong. but where does this instinct come from? The answer is...our moral compass. Today, we will be diving into what our moral compass is, and the different ways people view it.  What is it? When something is wrong, you know (although these rights and wrongs may vary between us). You get that knotted, nagging feeling in your chest and stomach. We call that our moral compass. It guides us (like a compass) via our morals. Our standards and behavior, are lessons we have learned. Humanity is said to have 5 basic morals. Care Fairness Loyalty Respect Purity We look at intentions, actions, and decisions, and naturally (even if deep down) we know whether they are right or wrong. Whether we should do it, or allow it, or not. However, we may not always listen to this feeling, sometimes we ignore it and carry on. Often this results in Karma paying a visit.  Where does it come from? So, where does this instinct come from? In all hones...
