Shamanic Alchemy

More about the book

This hands-on guide explores advanced spiritual transformation through the sacred arts of alchemy and shamanism. It recasts the 7 stages of the alchemical “Great Work” as a transformative shamanic journey, offering a unique perspective on inner transformation. The author provides step-by-step instructions for 18 shamanic alchemy practices, including vibrational energy work, consciousness-altering techniques, the creation of mirrors of the mind, and sacred ceremonies linked to the four elements. The text delves into alchemical plant-medicine techniques, specifically spagyrics, and includes recipes for basic tinctures and “plant-stones.” It highlights the connections between shamanism and alchemy, incorporating both Western and Eastern practices. The author emphasizes the importance of creating sacred spaces, altars, and shamanic distillation lodges, while comparing the cosmologies of both traditions. Through direct experiences of the numinous and invisible worlds, both shamanism and alchemy impart wisdom, invoke peace, and enhance creativity and vitality. By demonstrating how these practices complement each other, the guide reveals their shared goal: to transmute spiritual lead into gold and uncover the deep secrets of life and nature.
