[Description of On Becoming an Alchemist
Many regard alchemy as a metaphor for inner transformation. But this is only half the story. According to Catherine MacCoun, alchemy is no mere metaphor. It's real magic. Transforming the inner world is, for the alchemist, a way to transform the outer world. Through studying the principles of alchemy, we can achieve extraordinary effects from ordinary actions by understanding how the world really works. We can perceive the hidden connections between the spiritual and the material worlds. Knowledge of these connections enables us to influence external phenomena through the powers of heart and mind alone. Yet alchemy is not, like some forms of magic, the exercise of mind over matter. It is the art of taking what already exists—whatever presents itself—and transmuting the harmful into the helpful, the useless into the valuable.

On Becoming an Alchemist initiates us into these secrets, showing us how to think, perceive, and operate as an alchemist. It offers practical advice and exercises that will help the modern magician to:

● Understand and apply basic principles of alchemy
● Transmute setbacks, failures, and losses into sources of magical power
● Navigate one's inner world with poise, confidence, and common sense
● Intuitively show up in the right place at the right time to benefit from magical coincidences
● Discover the potentials latent in any situation by awakening subtle perception

Hello I was wondering what the reference to the symbol was in terms of  2012, the reason i ask is that I have had a vision involving a pyramid as well as a dream about it, and i am trying to fgure out the meaning spiritually behind the pyramid

Hello everyone I've been having some very alice in wonderland experiences these days, and to be honest i have no clue as to how to interpret them, any help would be appreciated  , I am going to post 2 seperate occasions where pyramids are involved and see if anyone can help

1)I was on one of my forums and one of the members happend to have the "Star" card on her main page, the star meaning Aquarius, the lady pouring water from a pitcher, ( I happen to be aquarius as well , dont know if that is relevant)
As soon as I looked at that card I had a vision of Jesus on top of that card, then I saw a pyramid on top of Jesus ( i think it was jesus) this whole picture took on a 3 d holographic look, and the pyramid was not solid, but made up like a grid of lines, so it was a 3 part vision
where you could see the pyramid from all angels because it was not solid... ( have no idea what to make of this? help please)

2) This is a dream I had, I am in this upper room with my step son, we are adults in body, but we are children in heard and mind, he and I were the only 2 people in this room, the only light in that room was coming from off of us, like we had a golden halo above our heads, he then hands me this cute little minaiture that he made, he says here you hold it but be careful....... this miniature is exactly 3 in long, and it consisted of an Eagle, the head of the sphynx and a pyramid" each one being exactly 1 inch in size, making up the some total of a 3 in object .... it was perfectly made... as i took the little miniature in my hand, the pyramid started to sift through my fingers, it was like gold sparkly sand crystals ( or something to that effect)

then we both looked at each other like "wow"! how exciting and cool........... then i wake up


I hope someone can help me understand all this thx everyone ?
