Reading With The Alchemical Oracle - Detailed Steps

The Alchemical Oracle is meant to help assess this moment in time, both in terms of successes and struggles. “Learning” refers to lessons that are being taken in and worked with, and indicate areas that may need attention or are out of balance; “Mastery” refers to lessons being put out into the world, or the readiness to do so. 

Directions below are written for self-readings, but this system has worked remarkably well for giving readings to others, regardless of prior knowledge of alchemy or tarot.  

1. Lay out the Universe of Alchemy Map 

2. Separate the cards into three sets
A Reading consists of three cards, one from each set
  • The Alchemy Stage Cards (Planetary & Chakra symbols in rainbow of colors)
  • The Shadow/Learning Icon Cards (Black backgrounds)
  • The Shine/Mastery Icon Cards (White backgrounds)

3. Draw one Gold, one White, and one Black token.  
Spread the tokens out with the symbols turned downward, and pick one of each color. Or a pouch can be used to draw from, putting tokens back until one of each color has been picked. The remaining tokens can then be put aside.

4. Turn Over Your Three Tokens and Place Them On The Map.  
If using the Standard Round Tokens: Place the Gold token along the center axis, on the matching Planet, and the Black and White tokens on the matching Icon. If using the Upgraded Glass Token Set: Match the Gold token to its Planet along the center axis, then place the Black token on the Icon to the left of its Planet and the White token on the Icon to the right of its Planet (For example, the Black Mercury token would be placed on the Quill, while the White Venus token would be placed on the Double Hearts).

5. Lay out the Corresponding Cards from the Deck.  
Find the Alchemy Stage Card that matches the Planet of your Gold token, and the Learning and Mastery Icon Cards that match the corresponding Icons of your Black and White tokens.

Alternative SHUFFLE Method - Without Tokens (good for when space is limited)
Shuffle each 7-card set, then Draw ONE card from EACH set and place them on the Universe of Alchemy Map. Because there is no “neutral” side to these cards, it is hard to draw cards truly without looking at them.

6. Interpret your Cards
Read the meanings of each card. See how they relate to your life, your goals, and your recent challenges.

  • The Alchemy Stage Card (GOLD) - Your current pattern or identity, along with the struggles or pitfalls you encounter; where you are on the spectrum between Love & Fear in this moment or situation. What role you are comfortable with as a Student, and what role as a Guide or Teacher. On the back side, the upper half describes this stage when energies are “in balance,” and the lower half describes the “out of balance” state, each may apply to different areas of your life, or sometimes those around you or your environment.
  • Learning Icon Card (BLACK) - the lesson you need to learn further, or how you might be expressing Shadow aspects, or becoming out of balance in some area of your life, goals, or relationships; a wake up call to pay attention to this area.
  • Mastery Icon Card (WHITE) - the lesson you are currently completing, practicing, ready to put to use, or teach. This appears as a reminder of the strengths or insights you already possess for the given time or situation.

*Although you can use just the text on the cards, additional interpretations are also listed in the full Instruction materials for the cards, to give additional depth to your readings.
