EMBRACING THE

YEAR OF THE SNAKE

Jovi Hoonjan

As we step into the Year of the Wood Snake, we are invited to embark

on a shamanic journey of profound growth and transformation.

The Wood Snake, revered for its wisdom, intuition, and adaptability,

brings a unique energy that encourages us to shed old patterns and

embrace new beginnings. It’s also known for

1. Transformation and Renewal: The snake's ability to shed its skin

symbolizes transformation and renewal. This energy encourages us

to let go of the past and embrace new opportunities for growth and

change.

2. Healing and Rejuvenation: The snake is often associated with

healing and rejuvenation. Its energy can help us heal old wounds,

both physical and emotional, and promote overall well-being.

3. Protection and Guidance: The snake is seen as a protector and

guide in many cultures. Its presence can offer a sense of security

and direction, helping us navigate through life's challenges with

confidence.

4. Mystery and Exploration: The snake's connection to the earth and

its ability to move silently and gracefully make it a symbol of

mystery and exploration. This energy encourages us to delve into

the unknown and discover hidden truths about ourselves and the

world around us.

5. Balance and Harmony: The snake's movement and behaviour often

represent balance and harmony. Its energy can help us find

equilibrium in our lives, fostering a sense of inner peace and

stability.

On a personal note, during my shamanic alchemy sessions with clients,

the presence of the snake often signifies the need for a DNA upgrade.

In 2025, the Wood Snake's influence will guide us to explore deeper

aspects of our spiritual and personal lives. This year is an opportune

time to cultivate inner wisdom, trust our intuition, and make thoughtful

decisions.

4


I’ve created a 5-day ritual to embrace the year of the snake at the end

of this article.

The Wood Snake's energy supports meticulous planning and strategic

thinking, making it an ideal year for setting long-term goals and

working towards them. Remember also, it will happen in divine timing -

when you are ready for the change. Create the vision and allow it to

unfold gently.

To harness the rewards of the Wood Snake, consider incorporating the

following shamanic practices into your daily routine:

Mindful Meditation

Spend time each day in quiet reflection, allowing your intuition to

guide you. This practice helps you connect with your inner self and

gain clarity on your path.

Nature Connection

Engage with the natural world to ground yourself and gain clarity.

Walking barefoot on the earth, sitting under a tree, or simply observing

the beauty of nature can help you feel more connected and balanced.

Personal Growth

Set clear intentions and take deliberate steps towards selfimprovement.

The Wood Snake's energy supports personal

development and encourages you to embrace new opportunities for

growth.

Creative Expression

Explore new creative outlets to express your inner wisdom and

insights. Whether through art, writing, or other forms of creativity, this

practice allows you to tap into your unique gifts and share them with

the world.

By aligning with the Wood Snake's energy, we can navigate 2025 with

grace and purpose, unlocking the potential for profound personal and

spiritual growth. Embrace this journey with an open heart and mind,

and let the wisdom of the Wood Snake guide you to new heights.

5-Day Ritual to Embrace Snake Potential and Wisdom

Day 1: Awakening the Serpent Within

Begin with a grounding meditation. Sit comfortably, close your eyes, and

visualise a serpent coiled at the base of your spine. As you breathe deeply,

imagine the serpent slowly awakening and rising up your spine, bringing with it

a sense of awareness and potential.

Spend time journaling about areas in your life where you seek transformation

and growth. Reflect on the qualities of the snake—wisdom, adaptability, and

renewal—and how you can embody these traits.

Day 2: Shedding Old Skin

Take a cleansing bath with sea salt and essential oils. As you soak, visualize

yourself shedding old patterns and beliefs that no longer serve you, just as a

snake sheds its skin.

Write down any limiting beliefs or habits you wish to release. After your bath,

safely burn the paper as a symbolic act of letting go.

Day 3: Embracing Intuition

Create a sacred space with candles, crystals, and any items that resonate with

you. Sit in meditation and focus on your third eye chakra, the centre of intuition.

Visualise a serpent's eye opening, bringing clarity and insight.

Throughout the day, pay attention to your intuitive nudges and inner guidance.

Trust your instincts and make decisions based on your inner wisdom.

Day 4: Connecting with Nature

Spend time in nature, preferably in a place where you feel a strong connection

to the earth. Walk barefoot, sit under a tree, or simply observe the natural world

around you. Imagine the serpent's energy flowing through you, grounding and

centering you.

Collect natural items like stones, leaves, or feathers that you feel drawn to.

Create a small altar or sacred space with these items to honour your

connection to nature and the serpent's wisdom.

Day 5: Integration and Renewal

Perform a fire ceremony. Write down your intentions for the future and any

insights gained during the past four days. Safely burn the paper, allowing the

flames to transform your intentions into reality.

Spend time in quiet reflection, integrating the lessons and wisdom of the

serpent. Meditate on how you can continue to embody the qualities of the

snake in your daily life, embracing transformation, adaptability, and inner

wisdom.

Embrace each day with an open heart and mind, and let the wisdom of the

serpent guide you on your journey of growth and transformation.

PAST LIFE

REGRESSION THERAPY

Sophia Steeden

What is Past-Life Regression Therapy & How Can it Help?

Past life regression (PLR) is a gentle healing technique that takes you on a

hypnotic journey, safely into a past life time. It can help people access their

past life memories, to aid healing in this lifetime. Hypnotherapy is a powerful

therapeutic tool that deals with the causes of problems rather than the

symptoms and is a safe and natural method of treating a wide variety of

conditions, for both adults and children. With PLR I use it to create a state of

total physical and mental relaxation and heightened awareness (trance state),

which allows the conscious mind to be bypassed and leaves the subconscious

mind open and ready to explore possible passed lives.

How it works

Past-Life Regression hypnotherapy is a powerful way to create deep healing

and transformation in just one session. This technique helps you to access the

deepest parts of your subconscious mind to tackle problems at their root,

leading to lasting change. By facing core issues from your soul’s past, you can

release emotional blocks, heal trauma, and gain insights into current

relationships, empowering you to live a more fulfilling life. During a PLR

session, the client is guided into a relaxed, meditative state where they can

recall past lives. The person may experience vivid images, sensations, and

emotions from their past lives.

The benefits of Past-Life Regression Therapy

PLR can help people:

Gain insight into their core beliefs, behaviours, and relationships

Address unresolved trauma or phobias that may have originated in a past

life

Identify and address unresolved issues from past lives that may be

affecting their current life

Connect with a higher consciousness and experience spiritual insights

Find information that can help them understand their life's purpose

Recognise physical ailments that may be remnants of past life experiences

PLR can help people acknowledge and embrace the lessons learned from

past lives, and use these to improve current situations

8


Alchemical Voice - L2M - Issue 30

Can everyone be regressed?

As with anything, PLR is not for everyone, so before your first session, you

will be asked about yourself, your personal history and what you are hoping

to achieve. The session(s) will ultimately work out for the best if you

provide your therapist with any issues you may wish to address in your

session. There is no guarantee that you can access a past life memory;

success is about your soul’s readiness, your openness, and your willingness

to explore & change. Each person is unique, so each session is different.

What can I expect during & after a session?

Past Life Regression Therapy can bring traumatic events to the surface, and

it is how you use these memories that will help your understanding of who

you are now, and use it to grow; your therapist will be with you every step

of the way, helping you to make sense of the situation. It is also quite a

fascinating thing to delve into if it awakens your curiosity, especially if you

feel as if you have had other life memories. It can help you bring insight

into who you are and help you explore the life/lives you have had formerly.

You may gain many new perspectives, such as helping you to understand

and resolve current relationships, unravel emotional problems including

phobias and compulsions, and heal physical symptoms. All from reexperiencing

and processing a past memory.

So whether you are just curious as to what your previous lives have been,

or whether you have a specific issue you want to look at understanding, or

resolving, Past-Life Regression therapy might be for you.

EXPLANATION OF

THE ‘CLAIRS’

Sue Penney

In the realm of psychic phenomena and extrasensory perception

(ESP), the term “clair” is often used as a prefix to describe

different types of intuitive abilities.

Derived from the French word “clair,” meaning “clear,” these

abilities are said to allow individuals to perceive beyond the

ordinary five senses. While often linked to metaphysical or

spiritual practices, these phenomena are also deeply personal

experiences for many individuals. Below, we explore the

definitions of the main “clairs” and provide real-life examples of

their manifestation.

Clairsentience: "Clear Feeling"

Clairsentience refers to the ability to sense emotions, energy, or

physical sensations from people, places, or objects. A

clairsentient individual may feel another person's pain or joy as

though it were their own. These individuals are also known as

empaths.

Real-Life Example:

A well-documented case involves Anne Jirsch, a professional

intuitive who describes being overwhelmed by a deep sense of

sadness while visiting historical sites. She later discovered that

these places were scenes of significant tragedies, such as

battlefields or disaster zones. Anne’s experiences highlight

clairsentience as an intense emotional connection to past

events.

Another example involves a firefighter named Mark who

reported feeling an overwhelming sense of danger moments

before entering a burning building. His heightened awareness,

which he attributed to an intuitive feeling, led him to evacuate

his team before a structural collapse occurred.

10


Alchemical Voice - L2M - Issue 31

Clairvoyance: "Clear Seeing"

Clairvoyance is the ability to perceive visual information beyond the

ordinary range of sight. This could involve seeing distant events, spirits,

or symbolic images that convey hidden knowledge.

Real-Life Example:

Edgar Cayce, often called the "Sleeping Prophet," demonstrated

clairvoyant abilities through vivid visions while in a trance state. He

accurately described medical conditions and treatments for people he

had never met, often with details later verified by doctors and patients.

His case remains one of the most compelling examples of clairvoyance.

Another example is the case of a woman named Emily, who claimed to

have seen vivid images of a car accident involving her friend hours

before it occurred. Emily’s warnings led her friend to change her travel

plans, avoiding a potentially life-threatening situation.

Clairaudience: "Clear Hearing"

Clairaudience is the ability to hear messages or sounds not audible to

others, such as voices from spiritual entities or intuitive guidance.

Real-Life Example:

Theresa Caputo, known as the "Long Island Medium," frequently

recounts hearing clear, distinct messages from departed loved ones

during her readings. One instance involved relaying a specific phrase to a

grieving mother that matched her late son’s parting words, providing

comfort and validation of Theresa’s ability.

In another case, a musician named David reported hearing an unfamiliar

melody in his mind that later inspired one of his most successful

compositions. He described the experience as receiving music from an

external source.

Claircognisance: "Clear Knowing"

Claircognisance is an intuitive knowledge that appears spontaneously

without logical reasoning. Individuals often describe it as a “gut feeling”

or an “epiphany.”

Real-Life Example:

Steve Jobs credited intuition—a hallmark of claircognisance—for many of

his groundbreaking innovations. He described moments when ideas came

to him fully formed, leading to revolutionary advancements in

technology. This "knowing" without deliberate thought exemplifies how

claircognisance can shape creativity.

A personal account involves a teacher named Maria, who felt a sudden

and inexplicable urge to check on a student during a break. She

discovered the student experiencing a medical emergency and was able

to provide timely assistance.

11


Alchemical Voice - L2M - Issue 31

Clairalience: "Clear Smelling"

Clairalience involves perceiving scents that are not present in the

physical environment, such as smelling flowers or perfume associated

with a deceased loved one.

Real-Life Example:

Many individuals have reported experiencing unexplained scents linked

to their loved ones who have passed away. For instance, a woman named

Sarah described smelling her grandmother’s signature lavender perfume

during times of distress, interpreting it as a comforting sign of her

presence.

In another account, a man named Alex reported smelling cigar smoke in

his office, which he associated with his late father who was known for

smoking cigars. The scent appeared during moments of significant

decision-making, which Alex interpreted as guidance from his father.

Clairgustance: "Clear Tasting"

Clairgustance is the ability to taste substances without physical contact,

often described as a “psychic taste” connected to spiritual messages or

energies.

Real-Life Example:

A medium named John Holland has shared experiences of tasting specific

foods during readings. In one case, he described the flavour of a unique

family recipe, which resonated with the client as a favourite dish

prepared by their late mother.

Similarly, a woman named Laura reported tasting the distinct flavour of

her grandmother’s homemade jam during meditation, which she

interpreted as a message of love and encouragement.

Conclusion: Personal Insights into the "Clairs"

The “clairs” represent a fascinating and deeply personal aspect of human

perception. Real-life examples like those above provide anecdotal

evidence of these abilities, offering comfort, insight, or guidance to those

who experience them. While scientific validation remains limited, these

stories highlight the profound impact of the "clairs" on individual lives.

Whether viewed through a spiritual lens or as an extension of

heightened sensitivity, the "clairs" continue to intrigue and inspire

curiosity about the depths of human intuition and connection.

By exploring these abilities further, we may uncover new dimensions of

perception and understanding that bridge the gap between science and

the metaphysical.

HISTORY OF SACRED

STONES IN THE UK

Sue Penney

The British Isles are home to a rich tapestry of ancient

history, much of which is tied to the sacred stones

scattered across its landscapes. These stones, often

steeped in myth and mystery, have served as centres of

spiritual activity, markers of celestial events, and symbols

of cultural identity for millennia. Understanding their

historical significance and uses offers a window into the

lives of ancient communities and their relationship with

the natural world.

The Origins of Sacred Stones

Sacred stones in the UK date back to the Neolithic period

(circa 4000-2500 BCE), a time when early agricultural

communities began erecting stone monuments. These

stones often formed part of megalithic structures,

including standing stones, stone circles, and dolmens.

Archaeological evidence suggests that the stones were

carefully chosen and positioned for their symbolic and

functional purposes.

One of the most well-known examples is Stonehenge in

Wiltshire. Constructed in stages over several centuries,

this prehistoric site features massive sarsen stones and

smaller bluestones arranged in a circular formation. Its

construction highlights the technical ingenuity and

spiritual devotion of its creators.

Religious and Ceremonial Uses

The sacred stones often served as focal points for

religious rituals and ceremonies. For ancient communities,

these stones were believed to act as intermediaries

between the earthly and the divine. Stone circles, such as

Avebury in Wiltshire, were used for gatherings, rites of

passage, and seasonal festivals.

16


Alchemical Voice - L2M - Issue 31

Evidence of ceremonial activity is found in the alignment of many stone

structures with celestial events. For instance, Stonehenge’s orientation

toward the solstices suggests its use as a temple for sun worship or a

calendar for agricultural practices. Similarly, the Callanish Stones in

Scotland align with lunar cycles, indicating their role in tracking celestial

movements.

Oral traditions and folklore also link sacred stones with druids, the

spiritual leaders of Celtic societies. Although direct evidence of druidic

use is scarce, their association with these monuments reflects their

enduring mystical significance.

Burial and Ancestral Worship

Many sacred stones in the UK are closely associated with burial

practices and ancestral veneration. Dolmens, such as Pentre Ifan in

Wales, functioned as tombs for the dead. These megalithic structures

often contained human remains and grave goods, highlighting their role

in funerary rites.

Standing stones were sometimes erected to commemorate ancestors or

significant events. They served as physical markers of lineage and

continuity, connecting communities with their heritage and the land.

Legends often attribute the stones to giants, gods, or mythical heroes,

further embedding them in the cultural consciousness.

Markers of Territory and Trade

Sacred stones also had practical uses as territorial markers and

waypoints. In the absence of written records, standing stones provided a

visual and enduring means of defining boundaries or guiding travellers.

For example, the Rudston Monolith in Yorkshire, the tallest standing

stone in the UK, may have served as a landmark for ancient routes.

Additionally, the distribution of certain types of stones, such as the

bluestones at Stonehenge, indicates long-distance trade and exchange

networks. These stones were transported over vast distances,

suggesting their cultural and spiritual value to the communities that

used them.

Healing and Magical Properties

Throughout history, sacred stones have been attributed to healing and

magical properties. Many stones were believed to possess energies that

could cure ailments, protect against harm, or bring good fortune. For

instance, the Men-an-Tol in Cornwall, a holed stone, was thought to

have healing powers, particularly for children and fertility issues.

Folklore often describes stones as having transformative abilities, such

as turning into humans or animals under specific conditions. These tales

underscore the deep sense of wonder and reverence that ancient

communities held for these monuments.

Best Sacred Stone Sites to Visit in the UK

Stonehenge, Wiltshire

One of the most famous prehistoric monuments in the world,

Stonehenge's massive stones are aligned with the solstices,

offering a glimpse into ancient engineering and spiritual

practices. Visitors can explore its museum and learn about its

fascinating history.

Avebury Stone Circle, Wiltshire

Larger and older than Stonehenge, this vast stone circle is part

of a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Visitors can walk freely

among the stones and explore nearby prehistoric landmarks like

Silbury Hill and West Kennet Long Barrow.

Callanish Stones, Isle of Lewis, Scotland

These enigmatic stones are arranged in a cruciform pattern and

align with lunar cycles, set against the stunning backdrop of the

Outer Hebrides. Their remote location adds to their mystical

allure.

The Rollright Stones, Oxfordshire

This collection of three ancient monuments—the King's Men,

the Whispering Knights, and the King Stone—is steeped in

folklore and offers a serene setting for exploration.

Rudston Monolith, Yorkshire (no photo)

The tallest standing stone in the UK, this impressive monolith is

surrounded by charming countryside and historical intrigue.

Men-an-Tol, Cornwall

This unique holed stone is surrounded by legends of healing

and fertility. It’s set in the picturesque Cornish landscape, ideal

for walkers and history enthusiasts.

Pentre Ifan, Pembrokeshire, Wales

Alchemical Voice - L2M - Issue 31

Preservation and Modern Significance

Today, the sacred stones of the UK continue to capture the

imagination of people worldwide.

They attract tourists, archaeologists, and spiritual seekers who

are drawn to their historical and mystical allure.

Efforts to preserve these monuments, such as UNESCO’s

designation of Stonehenge as a World Heritage Site, ensure

that their legacy endures for future generations.

Modern celebrations, such as the summer solstice gatherings at

Stonehenge, reflect the enduring spiritual connection many feel

toward these ancient sites. They serve as a reminder of

humanity’s long-standing relationship with nature, time, and the

cosmos.

Conclusion

The sacred stones of the UK are more than just remnants of the

past; they are enduring symbols of the ingenuity, spirituality,

and cultural richness of ancient societies. From their use in

religious rituals and celestial alignments to their role in burial

practices and folklore, these stones offer a profound

connection to history.

As we continue to study and celebrate these monuments, they

remind us of the deep-rooted human desire to understand and

honour the mysteries of existence.

ARCHANGEL MESSAGES

AND COLOURS (2)

Carol Coggan

Introduction

The Angels have asked me to share with you cards

from the Angels and Auras deck. This will be

throughout the year. But in case you missed the

last issue, I shall repeat the way to use these cards.

As you look at the Archangel cards, notice the

colour of each Archangel and notice especially how

you are affected by that colour. I have also drawn

an accompanying card for each specific Archangel.

I suggest you sit quietly and call in your Guardian

Angel and Angels, and really look at the cards and

see what speaks to you. The Angels may speak to

you through colour, or a particular word or parts of

the image.

The Angel message may vary depending on when

you look at the card; so hopefully you are still using

Archangel Sandalphon and Archangel Uriel (red)

from the January/February issue.

You will see the message varies for you specifically,

although you are reading this in the Alchemical

Voice.

You will also see on the cards some positive words,

and then some negative words upside down. These

negative words are the shadow side, and if you find

you resonate with these negatives, then you can

definitely work with the Archangel to heal and

transform to the positive energies.

20


Alchemical Voice - L2M - Issue 31

March and April

Archangel Raziel has come in for this issue, the start of

spring! Archangel Raziel helps us with our spiritual

understanding. He is often described as the Merlin of

the Archangel realm. He will help you understand

whatever you are trying to learn. He understands all the

secrets of the Universe and how they work, and helps

increase our spiritual awareness and self-understanding.

How does this relate to our everyday life? as you can

see the positive words are: enlightened, adaptable,

soulful, and, connected. This especially is connection to

the Universe and its energies. The underside is

sceptical, rigid, materialistic and detached. This shadow

side suggests you may be too focused on the material

world, too busy looking down at what is happening on

Earth, too involved in your stories, or catastrophes, and

forgetting to look upward for assistance from the

Divine and the Angels.

If we are too materialistic then the energy is blinkered

and you will find the Law of Attraction limited. Like

attracts like, so worry and negative energy will attract

more of the same. Take time out and before you go to

sleep ask Archangel Raziel to step into your dreams and

assist you.

Rainbow is the colour of enlightenment. I like to think

the different colours/facets of the rainbow are with us

as we play many different roles in the day. So you may

choose all the colours or specific ones. You may also

choose to visualise the rainbow as the bridge back to

your soul, your connection to the Universe and your

connection to joy.

Everything’s Okay card has appeared as you work with

Archangel Raziel. Whether you feel connected or

disconnected at this time, you can rest assured that the

Universe/Divine is there for you, and everything is

okay. So as you work with Archangel Raziel, he helps

your spiritual understanding and connectedness, the

Universe is also there supporting you throughout. You

do not need to ‘beat yourself up‘ or criticise yourself for

any lapses. It is all as it is meant to be. 444 is a number

to show that the Angels are all around, and the

important message is “that you are not alone“. Just call

on them at any time.

21


Alchemical Voice - L2M - Issue 31

March and April (Continued)

The second Archangel who has stepped in to work with you at this time is Archangel Raphael.

You will often have read or heard me talking of Archangel Raphael, as I work with him a lot, especially in

his healing capacity. He will help you heal in all areas of your life: physical, emotional, mental, and

spiritual. Often we focus on physical healing, but he is there for our total healthfulness, including our

emotions. We can often see our physical healing, but take time out to consider any emotional healing

you need and ask Archangel Raphael.

Archangel Raphael is also known as the Archangel of travel, and in matchmaking. Ask for his help as

you travel, whether it be in this country or abroad. He will be there. I like to think of him as a passenger

in my car as I am driving, along with other Archangels, and we are all having a “laugh“. This lightens any

worries and shows the Archangels sense of humour.

Brilliant Green is the colour of communication and creativity. Green as you know is the colour of

nature, it is also the colour of the heart chakra, hence Archangel Raphael‘s ability to matchmake. Green

is a motivated colour, and is full of life (although giving us calm in nature) and can inspire us to new

experiences like travel, art and culture.

The card that Archangel Raphael wishes to work

with you is Abundance. Abundance is often

associated with financial success, but it also can be

experienced as love in your life, vibrant health and

wonderful opportunities that lead to financial

prosperity.

We all experience abundance, we just have to look

around and see the many gifts we receive daily. As

you notice your blessings then give thanks, and the

more thanks you give then the more abundance

/love the Universe will bring to you.

These cards are the next stage for you. Archangel

Raziel in the spiritual realm and enhancing

understanding, whilst Archangel Raphael is enabling

healing and love to promote your connection to the

Universe. I really enjoy working with both of them,

and hope you do too!

and how to work with the Universe and Law of

Attraction, please drop me an email or follow me on

THE SHOP OF

FEELINGS

It was Friday and the staff had their usual end-of-week meeting, drinking coffee and talking about

the week that had just gone by. They were all amazed at the current trends, where feelings like

“hate”, “envy” and “offence” were constantly selling really well whereas “love”, “compassion” and

“respect” were difficult to sell even on sale.

They were of course happy to have good sales figures. However, they had an ambition to promote

pleasant and constructive feelings and emotions. High sales of “hate”, “envy” and “offence” did not

fulfil that ambition. So what to do?

Keep in mind that there is a difference between ‘feelings’ and ‘emotions’. Feelings are experienced

consciously and often influenced by personal experiences, basic beliefs and values. They often stay

with you for an extended period of time. Examples are affection and empathy. Emotions happen on

a subconscious level. They are connected to fight or flight and what we need for survival. Examples

are anger and surprise.

In this text, I do not make a strict difference between ‘feelings’ and ‘emotions’ but allow them to

overlap. I am not a neuroscientist and the purpose of this story is on a spiritual level rather than

scientific.

The staff in our imagined shop began by analyzing the situation. They understood that destructive

feelings often originate from other feelings, such as fear, anger and a sense of inadequacy. People,

who feel unable to deal with stress or sense that they have been treated unfairly, often lash out.

They project their anxiety onto other people, they pass on the blame, and they are jealous. They

see life as a zero sum game, meaning their misfortune is somebody else’s fortune. They compare

themselves to successful people or to their own dreams and aspirations. When the comparison

does not turn out in their favour, they feel resentful, sometimes even vengeful.

The staff also realized that there is often more lure and “pull” in negative and destructive feelings

than in positive ones. A war movie in the cinema will often give you an adrenaline kick whereas a

romantic film will not. It is similar to the sugar rush you get from candy when a green salad might

leave you satisfied but not thrilled.

26


Alchemical Voice - L2M - Issue 31

There is an expression that bad news travels fast. When you and your mates meet in the pub, and

somebody says “Did you hear the latest?” you can be sure that it is not anything positive they are

about to disclose. One reason for relishing over other people’s misfortune is the sense of relief

that you are okay, that nothing bad happened to you. Think of the expression “one man's loss is

another man's gain” and variations on it. The safety and comfort of your own home is even more

pleasant and enjoyable when you read that someone else’s house has burned down.

Another aspect of the interest in bad news over good news could be related to the origin of the

human race and what qualities were needed for survival. It was of much more importance to be

advised that a tiger was roaming the area around the camp, than to be told that pretty flowers

were growing nearby.

From a spiritual point of view, it is important to address the feelings and emotions that people

have subconsciously and even carry as a kind of cell memory in their bodies. In most parts of the

world, we no longer need to fear wild animals. Much of prehistoric fears are no longer relevant

today. Yet, I believe they may still linger in what might be called your ‘primordial memory’.

When I studied shamanism, I journeyed a lot to my ancestors and their ancestors to learn from

them. Some of them told me of their concern for me. They were anxious that I would be arrested,

and accused of performing black magic and witchcraft. I needed to soothe them by explaining that

times had changed, at least where I live, and I am free to practise shamanism with no fear of

condemnation or persecution.

So if we go back to the shop of feelings, what can they do to limit the sales of destructive feelings

and market pleasant feelings? I believe that one way to go about this is to acknowledge the innate

fears that we may carry as a memory in our cells. It may be fear of the unknown, of darkness, of

wild animals or fear of people that look “strange” or unfamiliar. It is important to address such

fears with a sense of respect and compassion and offer alternative feelings that are sweet and

benevolent.

Happy people who do not harbour fear nor suffer from disharmony or unbalance in their lives,

rarely subscribe to feelings such as hate and envy.

So one way is to teach people what “fear” is and how it can be dealt with. (See note 1 below)

27


An emotion can trigger behaviour. Likewise, behaviour can trigger an emotion. Fear can make you

clench your jaw muscles. The other way around, an actor trained in method acting might clench his

jaw muscles to create a sensation of feeling fear. By teaching people to mimic behaviour that

generates good feelings, the shop could begin to slowly turn things around and increase demand

for “love”, “compassion” and other pleasant feelings.

Something that many people find very frustrating is not knowing what is going on or what will

happen. People strongly dislike being out of control, not having information and being left in the

dark. It is important to work on those attitudes, to change the understanding of what “knowing”

and “not knowing” really means. Is it really necessary to always know the details of something or is

a general idea good enough? An American politician used to talk about “known unknowns” and

“unknown unknowns”. Maybe living in the moment is quite enough and to be preferred in many

situations. If we desperately want to define known and unknown unknowns, we could easily go a

little nutty. I am a strong believer in the importance of changing vantage points, revising definitions

and adjusting one's attitude.

When you steer your boat across an unknown ocean, all you can do is follow your instinct, look at

the stars and seek guidance from Spirit, nature and your ancestors. Never mind what the other

boats are up to. You have no idea what journey they are on, what their ambition is or even lack of

ambition. You must always follow your own path and what is right for you. At the same time, you

should respect others and feel compassion for them in their search for the path which is right for

them.

Hopefully, the little Shop of Feelings managed to contribute some guidance and understanding

amongst its clientele and increase interest in constructive feelings, higher values and indeed love.

ATLANTIS 9,800 BC

THE FALL

Julie de Vere Hunt

Alchemical Voice - L2M - Issue 31

The missiles had broken through the defence shields of Atlantis and were raining down on the capital city of

Atlas relentlessly. They were being fired from PA-99-N2, a planet in the Andromeda Galaxy which would not be

discovered by humanity for another 11,000 years.

The Atlanteans had sought shelter in underground nuclear shelters but the Andromedeans knew they could not

stay there indefinitely. Time was running out for the Atlanteans and the Dweller of Unal Temple would not

allow the Andromedeans to take over Atlantis. The Dweller would have to execute his evacuation plan.

Atlantis had long been a goal for invasion by the Andromedeans, offering a well-resourced planet with an

advanced civilization they could make good use of in their eternal quest to infiltrate and dominate other planets.

Planet Earth was also in their sights.

Atlantis was a highly desirable place to live, with many similarities to Earth. It consisted of a main continent and

chain of islands, with ten cities laid out in the Tree of Life formation. The land was surrounded by crystal clear

seas bordering on diverse landscapes. Towering mountains, lush forests and fertile soils ensured all its

inhabitants lived a good life.

Atlantis in Tree of Life formation – Island of Undal at the top

Alchemical Voice - L2M - Issue 31

Regulus B, part of a quadruple star system in the Leo constellation 79 lights years from Earth, was the

home of Atlantis. Poseidon was the first king of Atlantis. Poseidon had many lovers of both sexes and sired

over a hundred children. Poseidon had fallen in love with a woman called Cleito who lived on an isolated

island. Poseidon created a dwelling sanctuary at the top of a hill near the middle of the island and

surrounded the dwelling with rings of water and land to protect her. This island would become known as

Poseidon. She gave birth to five sets of twin boys; the first born, Atlas, became the first ruler of Atlantis.

Artist’s impression of Island of Poseidon

Atlantis was dotted with many temples dedicated to gods and goddesses. These sacred places were places

of worship, healing and magic, where priests and priestesses maintained the balance of natural and cosmic

forces. The temple of Poseidon was the most grand and ornate, but Unal Temple on the Island of Undal

was the most sacred place in Atlantis. Here Atlanteans would receive energetic activations to sustain their

high level of vibration, maintain the health of their energetic fields, and keep their chakras balanced and

open.

But some of the Atlanteans had become proud of their knowledge and achievements. They pushed the

limits of magic and technology, attempting to control forces beyond their understanding, delving into

forbidden regions. As fear rose consciousness fell - Atlantis was heading towards a civil war.

The Andromedeans fired the first missiles. The Dweller refused to retaliate, instilling fear into the

Atlanteans. Consciousness fell further and the Dweller called his three messengers and gave commands

which would result in Atlantis becoming uninhabitable.

31


Alchemical Voice - L2M - Issue 31

He instructed Atlantean Priest-king Thoth to instigate the

evacuation plan and escort the sons of Atlantis to the land

of Khem (Egypt), along with all his records, powers and

instruments of magic. Thoth was immortal, and for some

16,000 years, Thoth had ruled the ancient race of Egypt,

from approximately 52,000 BC to 36,000 BC. Thoth was one

of the oldest deities in Egyptian mythology; the god of

writing, knowledge, wisdom, magic and the moon.

Most of Atlantis sank below the waves, but the Temple of

Unal survived with the Dweller and his three messengers,

deep in the Halls of Amenti below the Temple. The pathway

to the Halls was now only open to ascended masters.

Poseidon and his wife Amphitrite, who was a beautiful sea

nymph, retreated to their palace at the bottom of the ocean,

made of golden coral and gemstones.

The Atlanteans had been visiting Egypt for millennia – the

axis of the unity consciousness grid extended out of the

Earth from Giza. Thoth had built the Great Pyramid in Giza

some 6,000 years earlier in preparation for this – he was a

sixth-dimensional being so moving huge stones weighing

many tons was a process involving thought, feeling and

energy, not with manpower. This process would baffle

humanity for thousands of years.

The Dweller raised his spaceship from deep underground. It

was the size of two city blocks and was transparent, with its

shell just three to five atoms thick and powered by thoughts

and feelings. Thoth brought 5,000 Atlanteans to Earth in the

spaceship and landed on top of the Great Pyramid. They

went down through a tunnel to a room at the two-thirds

level of the pyramid. This room was made of red, white and

black stones, mirroring the primary architectural colours of

Atlantis. From this room Thoth had installed a fourth

dimensional passageway in order to descend to a temple far

below the pyramid.

This temple became known as the Halls of Amenti, a fourth

dimensional space located in the third dimension around one

thousand miles below the Earth’s surface. The Halls of

Amenti are the realm between the Omega point and our 3D

world. Reincarnation happens from within the Halls of

Amenti where souls attain a new physical body.

32


Alchemical Voice - L2M - Issue 31

Poseidon’s seven sets of twins escaped from Atlantis with

Thoth; including the five sets of male twins who had ruled

the ten cities.

Poseidon had also sired two sets of male/female twins –

they would become known as Egyptian deities Osiris and

Nephthys and Seth and Isis; two sets of twins who have

been immortalised in Egyptian mythology. They brought a

highly prized possession with them, the Sphinx, to Giza in

Egypt.

The Sphinx has the Regulus star embedded in its chest to

remind the Atlanteans of home. Below the right paw of the

Sphinx lies a Hall of Records detailing the history of the

universe, including the intergalactic war between Atlantis

and the Andromedeans.

One day humanity would reach a high enough

consciousness to access these records.

One of Poseidon’s other sons would shape history in

Britain and become world famous.

He would spend many lifetimes in Cymru (Wales) as a bard,

prophet, seer, magician, shapeshifter and energy master.

His name was Taliesin, the father of Druidism. Along with

Merlin, they would become mentors to the twins of Mary

Magdalene.

‘What was lost can be found. What was broken can be healed.

But only through the unity of light and shadow will the eternal

balance be restored.’ The Dweller of Unal

HOW TO USE RUNES

AS MAGICAL TOOLS

Shaeen Svanede

Since the beginning of time, there has always been a need

to communicate with the divine. Although we do not know

for sure, people have probably always made amulets and

talismans to empower themselves - Indigenous tribes still

do. The Roman storyteller Tacitus who lived 100 AD noted

that people from the North were ‘throwing bones’ indicating

that runes were being used as fortune-telling tools and

perhaps even for casting spells. Some of us still pursue this

tradition.

I have used the Elder Futharc runes in divination and as

amulets for more than twenty years. I also use them to read

the character of a person, interpreting the meaning of each

rune in their nick-name. I consider them very accurate and

helpful. As I give seminars and workshops people are

astonished when they realise what the runes can do.

The Elder Futharc runes are also called the Nordic or the

Germanic Futharc, and consists of 24 runes. This runic

alphabet has been in use since around 150 BC. There was a

shift in the 8th century when we started using another runic

alphabet consisting of 16 runes. These latter runes are the

most common ones seen on the rune stones that we find all

over Sweden. The reason for this is that the original runes

were carved into bones and wood, therefore, those are rare

to find.

The word ‘Futharc’ means alphabet, since the first six letters

are ‘F’, ‘U’, ‘TH’, ‘R’, and ‘C’. Some of these runes can look

slightly different depending on where they are drawn. The

Futharc has actually been used by all Germanic people. The

order in which the letters appear in this alphabet can also

differ. Since I believe that we can work with any tool in

different ways, I believe that these differences do not

matter too much. The runes will work all the same.

When working with the runes in a magical way some rune

magicians will refer to them as the wild Utharc instead of

the tame Futharc. The runes look the same, but they now

have a different numerological order as we put the first rune

‘Feh’ last because it stands for completion.

How you can use the Utharc in spell-casting?

Uraz / Ur

Use this rune to pick up on your hidden assets and willpower

to help you when you are about to start something new. It

could also assist you in getting a promotion.

Thor / Thurs

To gain wisdom and help finding good advisors to make

important decisions.

Ansuz / Ass

To help you communicate wisely and also the perfect rune

to use when you try to learn something new.

Rad / Reid / Raidho

This rune will give you a safe journey and can make you

more active in general. It can also help you find your way if

you have been through a rough period.

Cenaz / Cen

Creative inspiration can assist you in all fields, being artistic

or just finding solutions when feeling stuck. It can also help

you recover from exhaustion and strengthen your Kundalini.

Gifu

Gifu helps you find your tribe, find your soulmate or right

business associate. It will draw harmony and balance into

your life.

Wyn / Wunja

This rune is called ”The Great Laughter” and helps you gain

better health, happiness and abundance.

Hagal

Hagal helps you stay calm when things around you look

messy and can assist you in seeing things more clearly to

quickly solve the situation.

36


Alchemical Voice - L2M - Issue 31

Naudiz / Naud

Use this rune when you want to find your destiny, whether

it be a partner or what to do in life. It will also give you

patience and fortitude.

Isaz / Iss

This rune helps you stay calm, structured and in control of

any given situation. It is clear and solid as ice.

Jahra / Jehra

This rune belongs to Freya, the goddess of fertility and is

therefore a good rune to work with in case of infertility. It is

called the harvest rune. According to the saying that you

reap what you sow it can also be used for gaining justice

when having been mistreated.

Perhdra / Perhtra

Use this rune to find lost things or even your long forgotten

inner abilities when needed. Perhtra helps you gain more

self confidence, more stability and reveals whatever needs

to be acknowledged.

Eihwaz / Eoh

This is a general protection rune. It can also be used for

being goal-oriented and realistic.

Algiz

Algiz is the rune to turn to when you want to work with

your totem animals. This rune is called The Great Protector

and can support you in feeling safe and secure in all

matters.

Sigil / Sol

You can use this rune to gain energy and to become

successful.

Tiwaz / Tyr

This rune helps you with perseverance, courage and gaining

justice.

Biorca / Bjarka

Bjarka can help you with healing and care. As with any rune

you can use it for yourself or others.

Ehwaz / Eh

This rune is called The Shaman. Use it to strengthen any

magical rite when soul-traveling or communicating with

animals. It will help you see the unseen and hear the not-soobvious.

37


Alchemical Voice - L2M - Issue 31

Mannaz / Madr

Madr is a communication rune that can help you solve

problems in all kind of relationships. It also brings you in

touch with your ancestors and inner abilities.

Lagaz / Lagu

Lagu helps you with psychic gifts and intuition. If you keep

this rune under your pillow while sleeping it might even

make your dreams more clear.

Ingwaz / Ing

This rune is perfect to use to find the perfect partnership

both in love and business. It also strengthens the libido.

Othala / Odal

Odal is mostly used to protect material property.

Dagaz / Dag

This is a very strong transformational rune. It can bring you

insights and help you adapt to big changes.

Fehu / Feh

You can turn to this rune to be prosperous and to get help

with finishing something, might it be a project or a

relationship that needs to be ended.

For the magic to really start working I would suggest that

you work with the runes in a ceremonial way. There are

many ways to do this, and you should do it in the way you

feel most comfortable with. Call upon your helpers and

make sure that there is no harm made as you perform these

rituals.

See each rune as a helper, but keep in mind that you always

must take your own responsibility when asking for

something. First, you have to act accordingly for the

energies to dance with you. Listen to the messages from the

Universe, rest assured that you will be guided to where you

need to be.

Secondly, be careful with what you ask for. We do not

always know what is best for us, it might not be what we

wish for. Therefore, I always end my own spell-casting

ceremonies with words like; ”If it is according to the law of

the Universe, so mote it be.” Let the magic begin!

THE DESCENDED

DIVINES

Shaeen Svanede

Many of us are working consciously with beings from

other dimensions such as; guides, power animals,

angels and ancestors. I usually refer to them as ”My

Team”. But what are they really?

I was talking to a colleague and dear friend the other

day and as it happens ever so often when you talk to

someone something suddenly becomes very obvious.

It seems that when you hear your own words spoken

out loud you rediscover something that you have

always known.

At this particular moment, we discussed our children

as I heard an inner voice naming them ”The

Descended Divines.”

I have wondered from time to time if some of our

guides and helpers have been walking this earth or

not. And now this knowledge seemed to come out of

nowhere.

Our children are just that, descended divines or

guides. They come with their unconditional love to

pinpoint our shortcomings so that we can evolve as

beings.

I still remember when I was walking around with my

newborn son the night after delivery. I was so excited

I just could not sleep. Neither could he. We kept

looking each other in the eyes seemingly trying to

figure out who the other person was. And I just knew

that he had come to be my teacher.

40


Alchemical Voice - L2M - Issue 31

This way of looking at it was new to me as prior to giving

birth I had thought that I would be the one teaching him

things. Now, I realise that he was already a wise being.

Of course, there were earthly things he would not know

about I thought to myself.

Then I had to reconsider because it became quite obvious to

me that he had been on this earth before. The only thing I

could actually teach him was how society seems to work

and not much more than that. As if I even understood that

myself…

Similarly to many parents, I altered between being the one

responsible for his well-being and observing him to learn

something new myself. I could only wish that I had been

more observant of his teachings than I have been.

Every child on earth is a descended divine.

The Bible says that Adam was created in the image of God.

Even the Norse Mythology tells how the first humans were

made by Odin and his brothers as their image.

The truth has always been staring us in the face and still, we

hardly think about it!

And even if we do not have a child of our own we can all

still learn from these youngsters. The earlier the better.

At a very young age, they still remember so much and this is

really the time for us to listen. As they grow we force our

preconceived notions and sometimes very inaccurate

interpretations of reality upon them.

When my son was around a year old I wanted to put him to

the test so I asked him; ”Where do you come from?” At first,

he replied; ”I come from your belly.” I asked him again and

he was still for a moment before replying with a serious

face; ”I come from the light.” And I just knew that this came

from another source.

Well if our children are descended divines, what are we? I

leave that thought to you…

MYTH, MYSTERY,

MAGIC AND MEANING

John Sjovik

Whenever I journey to the spirit world, I am met by

Bear. He usually gives me a hug and then offers me

freshly barbecued slices of pineapple served with

custard. For me, this is the most natural thing in the

world and I do not think twice about it. Yet, for people

of a less esoteric mind than mine, the scenario might

appear as somewhat out of the ordinary.

Many years ago, I rejoined a company that I had worked

for some years earlier. In the meantime, I had deepened

my understanding of Shamanism and developed a close

relationship with the spirit world and the animals and

other characters that inhabit it. When I returned to the

company and met my old boss again, he asked me what

I had been up to since we last worked together. I made

the mistake of telling him openly about my forays into

the otherworldly. He listened to me with restrained

patience. When I had finished telling him about power

animals and drum journeys, he took a deep breath of

relief and said “Well John, I think we should move on

and talk about the real world instead.” We soon got

emerged in contracts, project plans, forecasts and

budgets, all of which constituted the supposedly “real

world” and the only world according to my then-boss.

Many people are like him. We might as well realize that.

This means that they will have minimum tolerance with

talk about the first three of the four Ms in the title of

this article.

“Meaning” is enough challenging for them to discuss

and deal with. I am not saying this to be derogatory or

sound condescending. The vast majority of people are

good, honest, decent, compassionate and lovely to be

around. Many of them are just not terribly interested in

esoteric topics.

42


Alchemical Voice - L2M - Issue 31

Denotation and Connotation

Let us begin by looking at words. For many people, a word is

what it is. Popular explanations are often truisms. “Happiness”

means to be happy. A “car” is... well, a car. You can look up a

word in a dictionary. The explanation stated there is a

“denotation”, the literal definition of the word.

When I have tried to explain to workmates, friends and people I

meet what Shamanism is, I have often used words as

connotations. Connotation refers to a word’s abstract or

metaphysical meaning. The word ‘wolf’ invokes courage and

strength. I might add that the use of connotations has regrettably

not made it any easier for the non-initiate to understand my

explanation.

When exploring the mysterious and magical world of myth, it is

good to be reminded of the importance of connotations rather

than denotations when we express ourselves. Within spiritual

practices such as Shamanism, we often use words in their nonliteral

sense. That is one of the challenges when discussing

metaphysical concepts. They are difficult to express in human

language, given all its limitations and biases. To really grasp at

least some of the essence of the non-ordinary world, it is

important to use also non-verbal communication, such as

meditation, spending time in nature and observing birds and

other animals you come across on walks. Symbols, metaphors

and other signs are also important to pay attention to and think

about.

Myth

Beginnings

People created myths already thousands of years ago. Much of

natural phenomena must have seemed capricious and unreliable.

What was a solar eclipse? Would the sun return? What about

Aurora Borealis? And shooting stars, what were those? People

must have struggled to find explanations, to find comfort and

basic safety. They wanted to make some kind of sense out of a

confusing, frightening and harsh world, where survival was

already unpredictable and the future never reliable.

Myths could also function as educational stories and explain how

people should act and behave. They could even offer an insight

into why things existed at all. Myths offered a structure or

invisible foundation that could support the visible world.

43


Alchemical Voice - L2M - Issue 31

This was the very beginning of a structured way to deal with

the contrast between the visible world and the notion of an

otherworldly aspect of existence. The invisible world was

beyond human perception but clearly had an impact on the

physical landscape.

A personal memory

There are innumerable definitions of the concept of ”myth”.

Let me make an approach from a personal memory.

When I was a child, my mother often talked about the

genealogy of my heritage and that I was a descendant of “Jon’s

people”, an early ancestor on my grandfather’s side of the

family. There were actually several men called Jon in the

history of my family, and the oldest I have found goes back to

the early 18th century.

My mother always talked about Jon in heroic terms, as if

referring to a legend. By being descended from him, I was

somehow “chosen”, destined for greatness and having unique

heritage that set me apart from other people. The whole story

made me feel awkward and confused. I never fully understood

what my mother meant. I felt that most people seemed nice

and decent. When I visited the homes of my mates, I thought

that they also had good families and I concluded that my

mother must be mistaken. Maybe my mates also had ancestors

to be proud of?

Be all of that as it may, but what my mother had told me was a

typical myth. The type of myth she related to me could be

called “sociological”. It referred to a particular group, a group

that my mother had named “Jon’s people”. There may well have

been similar myths in other groups, other families, with

different names but with the same type of stories and legends.

I remember an elderly acquaintance of mine who always talked

about her father with deeply reverent words, almost

sublimating him into a divine status.

A traditional myth will often include one or more gods.

Alternatively, a myth can involve a human being who is strong

spirited and displays larger than life qualities and abilities.

Instead of a god, one often talks about a ‘hero’.

You could also say that the myth my mother told me had the

mysterious Jon as metaphor for the father. That aspect

presents us with a heroic father figure, with all the makings of

metaphors for mystery and magic of the father, including the

animating ability that lies dormant within a man.

44


Alchemical Voice - L2M - Issue 31

Nature and Myth

Keep in mind that the development of a myth is highly

influenced by the climate, nature and habitat of the region

where the myth originated. This is particularly true when it

comes to the creation of myths and in particular those related

to animal and plant life. People who live in the jungles of

Indonesia will embrace a different mythology than people who

live in northern Scandinavia.

Because of this, it is even more amazing when we find similar

features in myths in completely different parts of the world.

One example is the serpent and the legends and lore related to

it. It appears in many creation myths around the world,

including traditions as wide apart as Norse mythology and

Aboriginal Australia.

Mystery and Magic

Mystery

With every myth, there is always a mystery. A mystery is

typically something that lies beyond human comprehension, yet

is important to people. It has an allure and beckons for our

understanding. A mystery is not just something that is strange

and not readily understood. There is a sublime quality to a

mystery, something that makes it worthwhile exploring. Finding

it difficult to grasp mathematical equations or learning how to

play a guitar is not a mystery. A mystery is not within the

boundaries of traditional skills and knowledge of people. It is

not something that lies dormant as a visceral awareness,

waiting to be stirred into consciousness.

Antiquity saw the rise of various pagan religions, known as

Mysteries. They were a source of wisdom and secret

knowledge and offered a way to achieve personal

transformation and attain spiritual enlightenment. Much of the

teachings happened through the telling of myths and acting out

of rituals connected to them. There was a profound meaning

hidden in the myths, which were then decoded and explained

to the students. The practice of the Mystery religions was

elaborate, and secretive, depending on the region and period.

Famous initiates into the Mysteries were the philosopher and

mathematician Pythagoras (6th century BCE) and the

philosopher Socrates (5th century BCE).

45


Alchemical Voice - L2M - Issue 31

Magic

With myth and mystery, there is often a desire to try and control it. People have often wanted to

dominate or subjugate aspects of the world around them. That is called magic or sometimes even black

magic.

Is the Navajo rain dance black magic? My answer to that question is that it comes down to the intention

of the ritual. Intention is a concept of great importance within all forms of interaction with non-ordinary

reality. A ceremonial approach, with humility and respect, to influence the forces of nature is not black

magic. The Navajo rain dance is a way to call upon the spirits, the nature gods, to help people feed

themselves by bringing rain so that corn can grow and animals and people can drink.

Mystery does indeed suggest magic. Think of the hero figure and the magical consequence of being the

chosen one. The hero typically possesses qualities that greatly transcend those of ordinary people.

46


Alchemical Voice - L2M - Issue 31

The hero

The traditional male hero is a product of circumstances in nature or between

groups of people. We find the hero as a hunter. We also find him as a war

hero or the hero in sports, saving the team from defeat in the last minute.

Another form of hero is the female heroine. Her heroic stance comes from

biology and her position in the tribal community as the bearer of children and

bringing them up to take their place in the community. The woman hero may

not be as flamboyant and dramatic as her male counterpart. However, in

many ways, she may well be seen as even more important. Without new

children who are brought up to become responsible adults, the tribal

community risks collapse. When you think of it, bringing a new child into the

world is in a way to defeat death. The woman grows into a heroic creator of

life, which is a myth in itself.

To not exclude a very special form of hero, I should mention the legendary

female hero of war and struggle. We find her as the Valkyrie in Norse

mythology, there is the Celtic Queen Boudica and of course the French

heroine Joan of Arc.

The hero’s journey

A mystery with a hero typically consists of three phases: 1) the journey 2)

the quest for knowledge and search for an answer or a mission to achieve

something, and 3) the return.

Invariably, there is often risk included in the work of the hero. In some myths,

it is incumbent on the hero to perish when carrying out the act of heroism.

Sacrifice and heroism are often closely connected.

Compare this with the traditional journey of a practising Shaman. Using the

drum as a vehicle for journeying, there is the controlled descent to the Lower

World, then the search for answers or insights and then the careful ascent

back to our world or ordinary reality.

In this way, the Shaman can be seen as the hero and the Shamanic journey as

the mystery. Be reminded that all the elements of the mystery as well as of

the Shaman’s journey can, and even should, be seen as metaphors and

symbols. There is an alchemical quality to this type of work. The important

aspects are transformation and transmutation.

There are many tales with this set-up. The hero leaves the home or tribe to

go on a journey to perform a quest, find the grail or carry out an adventure

and then return home. One example from antiquity is Hercules who famously

carried out twelve labours. A modern example – from reality - is the moon

landing of Apollo 11, which happened in real time as broadcast on television.

47


Alchemical Voice - L2M - Issue 31

Meaning

’What’s the point?’ ’What’s the meaning of it all?’ are common types of questions. People have always

searched for explanations, for meaning; for answers to all the why? questions. ‘Why do natural disasters

happen?’ ‘Why do people die prematurely?’

One way of finding comfort in a harsh and inexplicable world has often been through myth. My mother

talked about the mystery and magic of her ancestors as symbolized in “Jon’s people”, which to me

always was a metaphor for the heroic grandfather figure since Jon had taken on an almost legendary

status in my mother’s stories of him. Yet, when I did research in historic archives, they showed that the

elusive ‘Jon’ was a simple fisherman born in 1736 and died in 1790.

People have always found comfort in nature and the spiritual aspects of nature. An animistic view gave

rise to early forms of mystery cults and semi-religious indigenous traditions such as Shamanism.

Ritual

Think of the importance of a ritual. A ritual can be seen as a way to ceremonially act out a myth. When

you take part in it, you are a participant in a myth. An important aspect or function of a ritual is to

elevate you, to challenge you in a journey of transmutation.

Rituals have always been very important, sometimes even crucial to people. That is true also these days.

Every weekend, we see spectators at sports games performing rituals. Many people who get married in

a church are not practising Christians. They do it because of the ritual. Families playing board games

spit on the dice and shake it before rolling it. Actors and athletes often have little rituals they carry out

before their work.

Children playing together often make up their own rituals. Those rituals are mostly temporary, with new

ones being invented each time the children meet. The ritual can even change and be adapted during the

play, depending on kids coming and going, the weather changing or some other circumstance altering.

Children are natural creators of myth and rituals.

Rituals are often inherited from previous generations. We learn them as we grow up. Mysteries, in a

way, are revealed by rituals and telling of stories. As I see it, we need to bring back something similar to

the camp fire talk. To have people gather together, exchange stories and tell tales brought down

through the generations.

48

Home practice

Allow me to suggest that you make yourself a nice

brew, bring pen and paper and sit somewhere

comfortable. Then write down myths you have heard.

They may have been told in school or by a relative.

Then think of specific rituals used in your family.

Are they old or maybe newly made up? What have

they meant to you? How have you related to them?

When did you last see a glimpse of magic? It could

have been synchronicity like friends texting you the

same time you were thinking of them. Or even a touch

of serendipity?

Finding romance in a bookshop, being offered a job by

someone you talked to at the supermarket check-out

or finding a long sought-after book on the seat next to

you on the train?

Are there people in your family, amongst friends or

other people you know who are – if not bona fide

heroes – but at least have a touch of the heroism in

them? Think of why you may feel like that. What about

yourself?

And finally, how can you use myth, magic and rituals to

overcome obstacles in your own life?

Maybe there are challenges in your workplace.

Tensions in your family. Or feelings and emotions in

your personal life that you need to deal with.

By creating a little ceremony, you can become the hero

of your own life.

INHERITED

MEMORIES

Martin Lewis

Alchemical Voice - L2M - Issue 31

Investigation regarding this subject came about due to

a dream I had recently which was quite lucid, vivid,

and disturbing! I did feel like I was actually part of this

event unfolding in my unconscious mind. I decided to

see if I could find out what this phenomenon might be

called, and so turned to Google to see what might be

revealed.

Looking up this experience revealed some interesting

information, and I came across this text.

“…..I have distinct memories of events that have occurred

in my mothers life, except I was not born yet. For

instance there were particular CD’s my mom was excited

about getting at the mall while in high school. One being

a SRV cd. I asked her about it, and where she bought it,

and what she described was exactly what I visualised. I

also have visions of her in high school. I had never been

to this school, but once on the campus I was able to

locate the exact room she was taught in, via the route in

my vision. There are also other instances, one where she

was in an abusive relationship prior to having me and I

can see visions of the abuse as well as her escaping. She

had never told me anything about this. I had asked her

about a specific object she kept, which prompted the

story. Is this normal? Am I insane? Is my brain playing

tricks on me? Is there a name for this? Anything? (sorry I

tried googling with no luck due to not knowing how to

describe it). Can you please help.”…anon.

Since the sequencing of the human genome in 2003,

genetics has become one of the key frameworks for

how we all think about ourselves. From fretting about

our health to debating how schools can accommodate

neuro-diverse pupils, we reach for the idea that genes

deliver answers to intimate questions about people’s

outcomes and identities.

52


Recent research shows that complex traits such as temperament, longevity, resilience to mental illhealth

and even ideological leanings, become ‘hardwired’ in our psyche, some of which are a result of

something called epigenetic memory transfer.

Our education and life experiences interact with epigenetic factors to create a fantastically complex

matrix of influence, which we can energetically inherit from our ancestors.

Scientists working in this emerging field of epigenetic study have discovered the mechanism that allows

lived experience and acquired knowledge to be passed on within one generation, by altering the shape

of a particular gene.

This means that an individual’s life experience doesn’t die with them, but endures in epigenetic form,

and can be passed on.

For example: the impact of the starvation your Dutch grandmother suffered during the Second World

War, or the trauma inflicted on your grandfather when he fled his home as a refugee, might go on to

shape your parents’ brains, their behaviours and eventually yours.

In kinesiological terms the energetic movement, or transfer of memory, would appear to have a

profound impact on the health of an offspring of that individual. This is not just a genetic bio-chemical

affect, but an energetic effect, which can influence the functional bio-chemistry and brain patterning of

the children of that individual.

53


It appears that this effect is not necessarily

subconscious, but can also occur in the unconscious!

A study published in Nature Neuroscience, in 2014,

and carried out by Prof Kerry Ressler at Emory

University, Georgia, found that a person’s behaviour

can be influenced by ancestral experience, and the

inherited memories of those experiences.

Sensory information picked up by a portion of your

brain (the nucleus accumbens) can cause us to seek

out pleasure, based on what our mother or father

experienced a lack of.

Literally experiencing the fear of loss or lack can be

passed on in our genes, causing our offspring to

become hedonistic thrill seekers as a result. In brain

function terms the nucleus accumbens passes on

energetic information from one generation to the

next, via our Amygdala and Hippocampus, creating

potentially bizarre, fear induced behaviour.

Studies conducted by Prof Rachel Yehuda at the Icahn

School of Medicine at Mount Sinai Medical School,

New York, revealed that the effects of parental trauma

can indeed be passed on in this way. Her first study

showed that expression changes in genes were linked

to immune-system dysfunction. These changes could

weaken the barrier of white blood cells, which allows

the immune system to get improperly involved within

the central nervous system.

This interference has been linked to depression,

anxiety, psychosis and autism, and potentially a whole

host of other physiological ailments.

Michael Meaney, neurobiologist at McGill University,

Montreal in Canada, found that the brains of people

who were brought up in an abusive parental

environment showed hippocampal neuronal

imbalances, that affected his patients ability to

regulate their stress hormones, often leading to a life

full of anxiety.

Ressler and Yehuda have collaborated, with others, to

reveal epigenetic tags in PTSD afflicted war zoneexposed

combatants.

54


The most exciting thing of all occurred when the

researchers set out to investigate whether this effect

could be reversed. They found that after a certain

amount of repetition of a pain-free experience, neural

circuitry reverted back to their original format. The

traumatic memory was no longer passed on in the

behaviour and brain structure of the next generations.

Dr Bruce Dewe and Dr Bruce Lipton PhD have both

stated that our emotions can regulate or dis-regulate

our genes, depending on our life experiences. Dr

Lipton says that: “the true secret to a healthy life lies

within each cell, specifically the cellular membrane. Your

epigenome controls your expression of your disease, but

your mind and your thoughts, they control your

epigenome”.

Dawson Church PhD states that meditation for only

30 minutes a day can boost your mood, lift you out of

depression, and create a positive outlook on life.

In effect meditation can increase your life expectancy,

by decreasing your cardiovascular disease by 23% and

other diseases by 55% !

Meditation enables us to regulate our genomic

sequencing, turning on healthy genetic expression,

and turning off unhealthy ones.

In all times and across all cultures, people have paid

their dues to their ancestors and pondered the legacy

they will leave for their descendants. The more we

learn about how our body and mind work together to

shape our experience, the more we can see that our

life story is woven into our biology. It’s not just our

body that keeps the score but our very genes.

If we can grasp the potential impact of how our

ancestors’ experiences affect our own behaviour, we

might be more understanding of others' behaviour,

who are also carrying the inherited weight of their

ancestors experience!

We are, as far as we know, the only animals capable of

‘cathedral thinking’, that is the working on projects,

over many generations, for the benefit of those who

come after.

55


Alchemical Voice - L2M - Issue 31

Our knowledge of epigenetics has only just started,

but its potential to massively speed up evolutionary

authenticity, which could support us to do everything

we can to be the ancestors our descendants need.

Conflict, neglect and trauma cause untold damage on

the body, mind and spirit. Trust, curiosity, forgiveness,

compassion and authenticity heals. If we do the

appropriate/authentic thing today we could indeed

pass this healing on to the next generation.

FAITH WITHOUT WORK

IS DELUSION

Hannah Gauss

A teacher of mine used to say: “Faith without work is

delusion”.

The danger of thinking manifestation is as easy as a readymade

cake mix, is treating the universe like a wishing well.

We choose what we want, visualise it, and then surrender it

to the great beyond so it can show up in our lives sometime

down the line.

But it doesn’t quite work, does it?

The truth is, that desiring something and setting the intention

to get it is only half the job done. We have to follow up with

action to fulfill our part of the cosmic deal.

Creation requires three forces - active, passive, neutral.

If we want to attract a partner who shares our values, we

have to embody those ourselves.

If we want more money, we need to develop an abundance

mindset, resolve our money blocks and work. If we want to be

successful in our small businesses, we are required to act and

think like entrepreneurs, not just like creatives.

Manifestation isn’t about having something, it’s about

embodying the frequency it vibrates on. Otherwise, you may

receive a burst of money just to blow it in a week, because

you don’t have the right beliefs or discipline to handle it.

That’s what people call self-sabotage - wishing for something

without going after it or doing the opposite of what gets us

there.

58


So why is it that we are talking the manifestation talk but

don’t walk the manifestation walk?

When we have spent most of our lives surviving trauma, life

itself doesn’t feel abundant. We never learned to delay

gratification, because there was never enough for us to begin

with. We have watched so many people live the lives we

dream of. When is it finally our turn? It’s easy to feel like the

universe owes us one, and that we’ve already put in all the

hard work. We self-sabotage because, after all, deep down

we know we don’t deserve nice things.

Sustainable manifestation is identifying our needs and

marrying them with our desires. If you want to be a successful

entrepreneur, what does success look like to you? Do you

need weekends off for the kids? Do you want to be a public

speaker? Where and how can you start practising to share

your message, and improve your communication skills? Social

media, newsletter or a newspaper column?

See, you don’t need 50 clients to embody the persona in you

that is naturally good at solving problems for others. You

really just need to start practicing who you want to be as

often as you can and let the laws of this universe take care of

the rest.

Hannah is a Shamanic Practitioner living in the

ancient East of Ireland, reminding people of

how powerful they always were.
