The Fine Art of Personal Alchemy
By
Lorraine Henrich
On my
seventh Christmas, Santa granted my request and gave me a magic set. I
was sorely disappointed to discover 3 styrofoam rabbits, one poorly made
hat, and a set of instructions on creating optical illusions. Although
I stopped believing in David Copperfield’s performances on tv, I
continued to search for what my heart desired – magick that was real and
life changing.
Over 30
years of life experience have passed as well as many years of formal
training and I am happy to report that magick is available and
accessible to anyone who has an intense desire to achieve a goal. In
fact life is an opportunity to create dreams into reality and all
challenges are delicious opportunities to grow and transform! The most
magnificent part of this is the fact that we humans as a collective hold
the keys to all magick we wish to achieve.
At the
simplest level humans are comprised of the four elements of earth,
water, air and fire, and we infuse spirit as a fifth element with belief
in God by whatever name you call him and her . God is a power that
exists within and without our DNA. As physical and spiritual beings,
life is to be experienced physically and spiritually. So the ultimate
personal magick can be created with the simplest of tools and, as long
as it is infused with our heart’s belief, it can be achieved.
In fact infusing
an object with intent and desire is a powerful way to bridge heaven and
Earth. When I wish to manifest abundance in my life I do not pull it
out of a hat. Instead I begin by asking myself, what does it mean to be
truly abundant? I jot down thoughts, ideas, and then come up with a
specific request for the type of abundance I require.
When I am
abundantly clear on my intent (our intent is our mojo), I take a special
journey to a place that usually contains the tools I need to get my mojo
going in the appropriate direction – the Dollar store. If I am in a
purist mood, I go to the health food store for the supplies I need.
Using words, blends, inscriptions and prayers that I create with my
imagination, I transform candles, oils, herbs, trinkets, and everday
household objects into magickal tools that evoke all the abundance that
my heart desires.
And
unlike the box I received on my seventh Christmas, the instructions are
contained within my essence. All I need to do is tap into the goddess
within my soul to manifest. There is one more hidden ingredient one
can not forget when making magick that lasts – joy!!!! So the next time
I am at Walmart maybe you will see me there. I won’t have on a hat or
cape, but I will be wearing a silly grin as I prepare to embark on yet
another incredible journey down the Convenience store aisle and then up
to Heaven.
The series
of
lessons that are to follow are designed for an individual to connect to
the god/goddess archetypes. As you work with these divine beings, you
will personally grow.
