The Alchemy Oracle is a divination tool based upon my book The Alchemy of Possibility, an experiential guide for creative inspiration and personal growth. Each chapter includes my artwork—an archetypal painting or drawing—paired with my prose and poetry, and with an I Ching hexagram or tarot card which also resonates with the theme of the chapter.

Today we consult The Alchemy Oracle with the question, “What is the spiritual message for the collective this week?” Here is the answer:

Descending Spirals

Painting: Face of Suppressed Storm

As Tolstoy said, “Although I have everything in the world, I feel a sense of death.” After all-consuming thrusts of energy, I find myself emptied, an opaque pool that can’t reflect the heaven it once beheld.

I feel as if I have learned nothing as I reflect on the absurdity of my self-created circus, my grasps to ascend from the earthly plane, my vain attempts to convince Nature I am beyond suffering. Read More.

More about The Alchemy Oracle

When ‘The Alchemy of Possibility’ was first published, I gave numerous readings around the country. At the end of each, I invited people to take the book in their hands, allow a question to arise, and then open the book at random. Remarkably, each time this happened, the participants were amazed at the resonance, relevance, and illumination they found. With the technology now available, this oracle opportunity is re-created here online. Read more.

Penny Slinger - The Abysmal (1975)

This photo-collage created by Slinger is something that has fed me with multiple ideas for self motivated work. Doing some research into the photograph, I found out that the image is part of a series called ‘An Exorcism’, in which Slinger wanted to “shed some light on areas of the Western psyche, which have remained too long hidden in the darkness.’

What really captivates me is not the model itself, but the stately home that looks an ideal place to suit the concept of the photo; I get a very ‘haunted’ ora looking at the photograph.

The Series - Penny Slinger | An Exorcism.
