STORY SYNOPSIS

“THE ALCHEMIST’S SPELL”

By Londa R. Marks Deep within the foggy moors a witty yet clever alchemist resides in The Alchemist’s Workshop devoted to revealing the magick of life, conjuring a few spells and psychically reading the casual querent who drops by.

But, The Alchemist’s enchanted life is peculiarly altered when persuasive artiste Isabella Mistle-Thrush arrives with convincing plans to build the World of Tarot upon his magickal lair, steals his powerful alchemy tools and a vault of souls from his workshop, later, she involves him in spiritual battle with the nefarious Lord of Earth.

With perfect timing, Isabella is joined by her phantom assistant Lord Raven in a chivalrous attempt to rescue her from what she thinks are wily souls used to create a Hermetic Order of Alchemy. The Hierophant, an intuitive scholar and Hermetic Order of Alchemy spirit guide materializes from words of a magick book warning that hexes surround some of the stolen souls. The Hermetic Order of Alchemy spirit guides will be prevented from coming to life if the hexes are not removed.

The World of Tarot, wish granting and divination, cannot exist without this highly intuitive community. Only the Lord of Earth, can remove the hexes, multiplying everyone’s peril upon entering his red abyss. Isabella, The Hierophant and Lord Raven transform into the Lord of Earth’s devoted legions of lesser entities, while the Lord of Earth clashes with the Alchemist humorously bartering for the powerful alchemy tools in exchange for the hex removal system.

Dead-stopped at an impasse, the hexes cannot be removed unless the Lord of Earth’s demands are met. Hazardous tasks continue even if the foursome eludes the Lord of Earth and pilfers the hex removal system.

To find their way to the World of Tarot they must access the Tower of Six, travel through 2012 and exit through the wall of the universe.

INTRODUCTION

Long ago, Ancient Egypt was the Hermetic Order of Alchemy’s first earthly experience and hatching ground for cultivating the art of alchemy.

Their purpose has been to travel throughout universes and install their messages in various portals (Seers and oracles).

Like the priests of Ra at Memphis in ancient Egypt Seers formed a functionary role in early civilization. Adept Seers and advisors activated the Ka, or the aspect of the soul of both gods and humans and divine personification of magick. By doing this they could influence the gods and gain direct knowledge of the Divine for protection, healing and transformations.

Adept Seer’s from all periods of life rely on these ancient Egyptian roots from where alchemy was born. They understand that it is one and the same.

The Hermetic Order of Alchemy was present during the time of the great Egyptian adept king Hermes Trismegistus, the author of the Hermetic Corpus, a series of sacred texts that are the basis of Hermeticism.

Trismegistus, known as the founder of the art of alchemy, is generally depicted holding a globe with astrological symbols on it. This god of the arts and sciences existed 400 years before Moses, before Abraham’s descent into Egypt.

After being initiated by Hermes Trismegistus in ancient Egypt and many spiritual journeys throughout history and time the Hermetic Order of Alchemy spirit guides arrived in the medieval town of Florence, Italy. It was the renaissance period and buzzing with creative workshop excitement.

Marsilio Ficino, the Medici philosopher and astrologer was being courted by his patron Cosimo de’ Medici to translate Hermes Trismegistus’s Corpus Hermeticum series of treatises. Esotericism, astrology, alchemy and magick were elevated topics of philosophy sessions in Cosimo’s Platonic Academy.

Later, in a parallel universe the Hermetic Order of Alchemy reconnect with Lorenzo de’ Medici, in the Lorenzo Medici Tarot, by Londa R. Marks, where key players of the renaissance period have gathered among the ethers and invite some important figures from history.

Magic and Magick Magic is a magicians stage act.

Magick is metaphysical energies. Seer & Seeker? _____ Seers make predictions.

Seekers consult with a Seer World of Tarot®: The Alchemist Tarot Revealed is not a card game; it is a metaphysical experience.

The experience began with the artist, Londa R. Marks, who was spoken to in a dream by Lorenzo de’ Medici. He parted a parallel universe and said, “It is time to reveal The Alchemist Tarot.” Thus, World of Tarot®: The Alchemist Tarot Revealed.

The Major Arcana conveys a higher purpose. In World of Tarot®: The Alchemist Tarot Revealed, the Hermetic Order of Alchemy’s purpose is to utilize their ancient magick to access the Tower of Six, travel through 2012 and exit through the Wall of the Universe.

The Minor Arcana relates to everyday matters. In World of Tarot®: The Alchemist Tarot Revealed, the Hermetic Order of Alchemy reveals their tools: Vessels, Cycles, Keys and Crosses; tools that draw divine sources of wisdom. The metaphysical nature of these tools is embedded in their images and divinations. Seer’s with magickal powers, honed intuition, knowledge of ancient methodology and or psychic techniques should have no trouble tuning into The Hermetic Order of Alchemy in the World of Tarot®: The Alchemist Tarot Revealed, and receive exceptional results.

The Hermetic Order of Alchemy spirit guides (in the Major Arcana) can assist a Seer in channeling supernatural information and guidance.

Those just beginning their journey as a Seer and truly interested in obtaining supernatural connections with the Hermetic Order of Alchemy can do so with diligent study of the World of Tarot®: The Alchemist Tarot Revealed deck and booklet.

Once you possess World of Tarot ®: the Alchemist Tarot Revealed, you realize you hold some of the highest magick and perceptive divination in the obvious universe. However, World of Tarot®: The Alchemist Tarot Revealed will not work properly when combined with any other deck of tarot cards or booklet because it is an alchemically charged deck of tarot cards containing magickal properties that only function in the World of Tarot environment.

How To Connect With the Hermetic Order of Alchemy

With practice, meditation can help you tune into the Hermetic Order of Alchemy and the World of Tarot®: The Alchemist Tarot Revealed deck.

To tune into the Hermetic Order of Alchemy Hold your tarots cards in your hand while sitting quietly for 2 minutes with eyes closed. Clear your mind of all thoughts. Then, picture one of the Hermetic Order of Alchemy spirit guides from the Major Arcana as your own personal guide.

When a connection is truly made, confirmation is received through prophecies received either subconsciously or in a daydream state of consciousness.

You may hear your spirit guide speak to you or feel like you have been almost hugged when you have made connection with your Hermetic Order of Alchemy spirit guide. Try this with several cards until you feel a click with the right Hermetic Order of Alchemy spirit guide for you.

Ask your chosen Hermetic Order of Alchemy spirit guide to be your own personal spirit guide and thank them. Ask questions or guidance, then layout your cards for your tarot reading.

Sometimes you will engage with your Hermetic Order of Alchemy spirit guide and other times you won’t. Since they are essentially cloned entities they can help more than one person at a time, but there are some days when they may not be available because they do not want to be disturbed.

The more you work with them, and show them sincerity of your intent the more they will connect with you.

Once you make the connection with your spirit guide you begin to enter the World of Tarot. Omens or prophetic signs, in various forms can occur either mentally or physically while you are working with your World of Tarot®: The Alchemist Tarot Revealed deck. As you read and study each card be sure to search for obvious and not so obvious meanings, omens and symbolism. Being fully aware of your surroundings and feelings as well as reading the cards in your tarot layout helps in determining what these omens may mean and what they are saying to you.

You may want to track the information you receive in a journal. The Alchemist’s Journals have been created for this purpose. This way you see how your story builds with each card you draw or each spirit guide you choose for a meditation period. Meditation periods and tarot readings can enter through dreams. You may be shown symbols or information which is important to you. It is wise to keep this information in The Alchemist’s Journals to see how your stories build. WorldOfTarot.com provides these journals.

Psychic Readings

The Alchemist Tarot Revealed is a highly advanced tarot deck but easy enough for novice interaction. You can use World of Tarot®: The Alchemist Tarot Revealed cards to do a personal reading for yourself or you can have a professional psychic read your World of Tarot®: The Alchemist Tarot Revealed cards for you.

Be careful when doing your own psychic readings you can have a tendency to ‘load the deck’ in your favor, meaning you may read it wrong to get the answer you prefer rather than an honest answer. If you do a reading for yourself be objective and see the reading for what it is; good, bad, instructive or otherwise.

Tarot Reading for Yourself

A quick tarot reading for yourself can be done with six tarot cards placed in a circle. The circle signifies a specific cycle relating to your question; where you are now, what has been the basis of where you are now, where you going with this issue and how it is likely to end up.

When you are ready shuffle the cards with your eyes closed while focusing on your question. Shuffle the cards at least six times, or when you get a feeling that you ready to receive your answers. The feeling of connection comes from an instinctual perception of just knowing, or, having a gut feeling. If you have any doubts or just don’t feel that you are making the connection reshuffle the cards another six times or wait until later. Stop and pull one card from any part of the deck and lay it down. Without further shuffling proceed to pull another card and place it at the bottom of your first card. Continue with another card and place it to the left of the first drawn card. The next card place at the top left, of your first drawn card. Then, the next drawn card place to the top right of your first drawn card. Finally, draw the sixth card and place to the right of the first drawn card. Now, review the divinations in the booklet for each card and evaluate how they work together with your tarot card layout.

In the back of the booklet is a layout diagram and instructions for accurately laying out your cards. Be sure to layout your cards with the images of The Hermetic Order of Alchemy spirit guides facing upward.

Drawing One Card Tarot Reading

If you prefer to draw one card for a quick question you have, you can do that too. Follow the procedure above for shuffling then draw one card.

You can do this as often as you need to but just be honest with yourself as to what the right answers are. If you feel that your reading is not correct or you need more information from more cards then you can do the same

shuffling procedure again and draw another card.

Take a few minutes every day to close your eyes, shuffle the cards and get to know them. Let the cards guide your hands through the shuffling process while focusing on a specific need or question for the day. Sometimes a card falls out of the deck or seems to jump out. Notice this card; it is a card that is trying to tell you something.

Lord of Earth sees, knows and does, but when he speaks his sensual voice is like the poetic siren’s song. You want to trust his sultry words but are apprehensive. He can have the appearance of humility but he carries a heart of envy and greed.

When the evil eye is in action he becomes a slave to sin and basks in his hunger for it.

XX HARVEST

Hermetic Order of Alchemy Character Name: Autumn Lake Roman Numeral: XX (twenty) Two Word Divination: Sew & Reap XX Harvest Represents: Potential, stability and the gathering of fruits, ascending from the ashes.

Divinatory Message: The seasons of the light; the harvest of the flame,

the harvest of our gardens must be evaluated right now. This card is telling you to appreciate what you have already gained through your previous work and to understand what you sacrificed in the work you have done.

While evaluating your work take into consideration the work a honey bee does and the chain of events from the farm to the flower blossoms that feed the sweet honey bees to the honey and wax it generously produces.

A honey bee’s work leads to many end results. As an example, let’s take The Alchemist’s hand poured beeswax spell candles as one result. When a honey bee produces honey it also produces a sweet wax and the honey bee even leaves parts of itself amongst the wax that The Alchemist leaves in his spell candles. The honey bees’ work is long and laborious with each honey bee ultimately sacrificing itself to its work.

Beeswax candles, the candle wax of real witches or alchemists, include parts of the expired bees. The wax burns the purest flame and the flames from The Alchemist’s spell candles are mesmerizing, warm, and glow soft reddish golden light offering a comforting ambiance yet, there is more to this ambiance. The melting wax emits a sweetened honey scent from the fragrant flowers that the bees consume as each candle flame reveals four levels of light: a dark cobalt blue shadow of light that caresses the wick and is the foundation of the other three levels of the flame. The foundation encompasses an amorphous aura as the white part of the flame builds onto that first aura. The white, reddish golden tipped glow sends out another type of aura spiked with rays and radiates the power of the spell.

Each of these four levels reveals light manifeststations of a dimension contained within the invisible flame. The winged bees are like little guardian angels fully committing themselves to your spiritual needs, harvesting their souls through the candle flames and sending themselves out into your atmosphere to do the necessary work it takes to grant your wishes.

Astrological & Element Associations: Scorpio – Fire Planet: Pluto Z Hebrew Letter: w Shin. Means: Tooth. Perpetual intelligence, changes are constantly in a state of motion like the ever dancing flame. No lie can endure if not based upon truth. Cycles of year or, to sleep or rest are required. Teach natural changes in the yearly cycle.

XXI-MMXII WORLD OF TAROT Character Hermetic Order of Alchemy Character Name: Avatar Roman Numeral: MMXII (twenty twelve) and XXI (twenty one) Two Word Divinations: Beginning & End MMXII (XXI) World of Tarot Represents: This card is generally numbered 21 and some call it the 22nd card of the deck but in the World of Tarot it becomes 2012. After leaving 20 Harvest we go into the 21st card, also a card that can be replaced or traded with 0 Motley Exemplar. We then have 20 0 21 – unwrapping the code we see 2012 leaving the center number 0 which sums up the World of Tarot as beginning and end, beginning again, or representing the World of Tarot with it’s rounded shape.

If we add the other 0 it mirrors itself making it an infinity symbol. The number 12 card in the Major Arcana represents modulation and transition into the last half of the Major Arcana. Let’s add this up. 2021+12 reduces to the number 8 which on its side is the infinity symbol. 12 mirrors 21 just as 12 takes us into the metaphysical part of the Major Arcana to the last card typically called 21, it mirrors back to that 12 transition.

Planet earth goes into the metaphysical age in 2012.You cannot go through the wall of the universe and enter the World of Tarot until you have modulated through the last half of the Major Arcana. As we leave the world we knew and travel through the wall of the universe we then enter the World of Tarot; the metaphysical. The World of Tarot encompasses universal properties cosmic and otherwise; beginnings to endings, transitions, reincarnation and home in the metaphysical. The World of Tarot, card number 21 (2012), correlates to female cycles ending or beginning at day 21; with a 35-day cycle, ovulation is day 21. The chicken embryo also has a lifecycle of 21 days. The embryo inside the egg shell goes through a process towards full life culminating on day 21. The Major Arcana includes cards numbered from 0 to 21 with the female Motley Exemplar numbered 0; a number in the shape of an egg. She is the first card, the beginning of the 21 tarot card cycle or could be considered the last card after 21 (2012) The World of Tarot. 21 (2012) The World of Tarot can be described as the sperm, the spark of life with 0 Motley Exemplar the egg, the physical embodiment of life, the shell for the soul to live in. Originally, Roman Numerals did not include a zero but started with Numeral I. The first known person to use the numeral zero was a Medieval Latin writer named Dionysius. In the year 525 he created a table of future dates of Easter (the day Christ rose from the dead or was reborn). The epact (the age of the moon on March 22) of all first decennovenal years was zero.

Divinatory Meaning: You have entered the World of Tarot, part of the modular hierarchy of 26 levels. Use of proper tools and utilization of esoteric knowledge allows for all things to be possible.
