November/December 2022 Alchemical Voice

Alchemical Voice - L2M Issue 17
TRANSFORMATION
Carol Coggan
The last two months of the year, we can look
forward but also back over the events and
progress we have made. We can give thanks for
everything we have received, focusing our
gratitude on what we have.
November can be a time of dark evenings, cold
and wet, but also the time of bonfires, clearing
away the deadwood to make ready for the new.
In Australia, there is a certain tree that will only
germinate once it has been subject to the
extreme heat of fire, the Wollemi Pine tree. Fire
gives us heat but also cleanses.
In England we celebrate bonfire night, with
celebrations, fireworks, gingerbread and other
yummy eats. If you consider what it represents
it can be ghoulish, but on a wider scale it was an
aspect of freedom and democracy for us all. In
America, Thanksgiving is celebrated in late
November, giving thanks for the harvest and
also the safe journeys. There is a Thanksgiving
meal, fireworks and holiday.
All of these events and celebrations are about
transformation, and that is what Archangel Uriel
wants me to share with you. As the year has
progressed we have been working with the
Angels and Archangels and transforming
ourselves.
So how are you going to choose to view
November-dark, cold and wet, or a time of
celebration, thanksgiving, spectacle and
transformation. As the seed is transformed
through fire into a tree, so we ask Archangel
Uriel to help us in our transformation. He has
given us brilliant ideas throughout the year, so
now ask him further for the next step on your
journey, along with encouragement from
Archangel Jophiel thanking her for her positivity
and Archangel Raphael for his healing in all
aspects of our lives.
