ALCHEMY OF SELF

The Three Phases of the Work

“He who would enter the Temple must be transmuted thrice: through descent, illumination, and embodiment.”

In Hermetic tradition, all genuine transformation proceeds in three stages. These mirror the classical alchemical phases and align with the soul’s descent into matter and its path of return to the divine.

Embark on a sacred voyage of self-discovery through three profound consultations, each guided by the ancient alchemical stages. Using your natal chart as a guide, we’ll trace the celestial blueprint of your soul’s potential evolution. Each session blends astrological precision with soulful reflection, offering you a variety of tools, rituals, insights, and practices to begin your transformation.

🜁 Nigredo (Blackening) — The Descent

To dissolve the false persona and see what lies beneath the surface

In this session we will explore the challenging aspects of your natal birth chart, using a creative process. Through an imaginative discussion and playful making, I will guide you through your shadow self using colour, shape, texture and light. We will explore how to own it. Session will include an exploration of your most difficult natal aspects, in a intimate yet lighthearted manner.

🜂 Albedo (Whitening) — The Illumination

To distill pure essence from confusion

Having stirred the depths, now you perceive the archetypes with more lucidity. In this phase, you begin to recognise the planetary energies not as obstacles, but as living intelligences (daimons) within. This stage also marks the albedo or cleansing process—ritually separating what is essential from what is accidental.

🜃 Rubedo (Reddening) — The Integration

To infuse spirit into matter and art into life

Here, you transmute insight into form. Symbolic art-making becomes the coagula of your inner process. By painting, drawing, or crafting your chart's archetypes, you claim authorship over your mythic identity.
You are not merely expressing emotions—you are ritualizing cosmic truths.
