What a beautiful, vulnerable, powerful evening with celebrating her book, The Rebirth Rituals 🙏🏻

An amazing way to kick off the summer book club for … with soul-stirring poems and guided rituals written for the cycle breakers, grief holders, and the women redefining love, identity, and what comes next ❤️

Spirituality is a personal experience and not a one size fits all. We use different words to describe our practices, and lean into what feels aligned with our own values, beliefs and intuition. Central to it all we see themes of kindness, compassion, nurturing, integrity and just being a good person in the world. In my experience, if you make sure those elements are present, I say do what feels good for you and don’t worry about what others think. The world needs more of these things, more than ever right now ❤️✨

What do you crave?

We life in a world that aims to distract, condition and control us as a means to an end for those who seek power, control and profit. As we become older…wiser…and more tuned in to what we mind, body, heart and soul are saying, we begin to sense the cravings of what will make us feel whole and move away from much of what we are conditioned to “think” that we want. When we can quiet the chaos of conditioning, we step into the alchemy of ourselves. A transformation that burns away the things that are not true to who we are, allowing the things that make us feel whole come into the spotlight within our existence. That’s where the gold is found ✨

A slower pace, the ability to authentically be as I am, knowledge, nature, community and connection…these are the things I crave.

If you can, I encourage you to take a moment today to consider the question. And use its answer as a guiding force along your journey. Your path and purpose will become clearer, I promise. If you feel drawn to do so, share your answers in the comments. I guarantee you’ll find others who share these cravings, inspire others and also be inspired ❤️

🜃 A New Alchemical Chapter 🜁

The crucible has been stirred, and a transformation is underway.

What was once The House of Alchemy is dissolving in the sacred fire—making way for a new vessel, more aligned, more true. A new Age is dawning.

This is not an ending, but a transmutation.
A shift from the outer chamber of ritual and creation, inward—toward the deep, sacred work of the psyche and soul.

Here, therapy is the alchemy.
Grief becomes gold.
Stories are distilled.
Selves are remembered.

In this next evolution, I’m answering the call to hold space for healing that is both ancient and modern, mystical and grounded.
Rooted in depth, shaped by soul, grounded in science and guided by the elements of change.

If you’ve journeyed with me thus far—thank you.
And if you’re just arriving, you’re right on time.

For now the House of Alchemy will continue based on quantities in stock. Stay tuned for more updates as this transmutation unfolds.

With Love, Ilona

This feels very necessary to put out there right now… big hugs and lots of love to you all. Things feel really s**tty right now in so many ways, there’s no sugar coating that. But we have this opportunity right now to step into self-compassion, finding community and nurturing ourselves by getting back to basics, learning to set boundaries and leaning on those who are supportive, empathetic and wise ❤️

🌿 Taking a Sacred Pause 🌿

Dear Beautiful Souls,

For the past while, I’ve loved sharing my weekly card readings with you—guiding, reflecting, and connecting through the wisdom of the cards. But right now, there is a deep energetic call to recalibrate.

I’m taking a sacred pause to go inward, realign, and birth the next evolution of this practice and business. Growth, like alchemy, requires space for transformation. Product orders will continue based on what I have currently in stock, reach out if you have a custom order.

This isn’t goodbye—just a moment to honor the flow. I’ll be back with deeper insights, offerings, and magic soon. Thank you for your understanding, your energy, and your presence.

Monday Messages Reveal ✨

Collective Message: Patience

In a world that feels more and more like it is speeding up, spirit says the solution is to slow down. Take your time. Savour the moments. Enjoy the journey. There is a continuous barrage of distraction designed to keep us deprived of the simple things in life that are what truly nourish us. Instant gratification will not nourish you. What will be slower living, slow food, being present in all that you do. Make time to enjoy the little things each day and you will instantly feel a shift.

Pick A Pile Messages:

If you chose Pile 1: Nourishment/ Peace
This pile follows the overall message of slowing down and working towards doing what will nourish you in mind, body and soul. Pay attention to your health and work towards consuming the foods and supplements that will truly nourish you. Move your body in ways that it craves rather than treat it like a slave to the gym. Find creative outlets to express yourself and take rest when you need it. When we do all of this for ourselves we are able to let go of the things that are not serving us, step away from drama and instead find peace of mind.

If you chose Pile 2: Purity/ Action
Slowing down for you right now is a call to simplifying your life. Perhaps you've felt like you are in fast forward and unable to take a much needed pause. There is a call to action fro you and you haven't felt as if you can make decisions but rather have had to continually pivot as the changes keep coming. Intentionally create time right now to take pause. Simplifying your life is going to streamline your decision making and give you clarity so that you can navigate the changes with ease. What can you declutter right now mentally and physically that can support your ability to get things done with ease? Keep it simple and you will find things easier with these energies.

If you chose Pile 3:
Release release release. You are purging away whatever does not serve you as part of your slowing down process. Think of it as a soulful and emotional spring cleaning. You are ready to make room for bigger, better and more beautiful things in your life and must work to do this mindfully. What has kept you distracted from the things that are meaningful? Give up unhealthy habits, unhealthy people, anything that is draining your energy and preventing you from being present to savour the sweetness of life. When you do this you will see opportunities open up for you. Abundance is waiting for you but you have to create space for it.

Monday Messages Reveal:

If you chose Pile 1: Being Bound/ Clearing Your Space/The Path

Where in your life have you been feeling stuck? Consider what has been keeping you feeling that way, whether its your own thoughts, people around you being demanding or critical, or inhibitions resulting from your conditioning. The Universe is supporting you to do some spring cleaning around these things that are keeping you bound. What needs to be released, and how can you cut the cords, set the boundaries so that you can move forward along the path of your destiny. You have decisions to make but they are designed to guide you towards the things you want out of your life experiences. Spend some time under this eclipse energy getting in touch with what you desire and what is meaningful to you.

If you chose Pile 2: Compassion/Life Review/ Rebirth

You are in a phase of review right now, taking stock of what you’ve experienced in your life, looking at the lessons you’ve learned and contemplating what you want moving forward. During this phase it is crucial for you to develop self compassion. Consider where you have been your own worst critic, or what the inner dialogue has been when reconciling events in your life. Realx into showing yourself the same compassion you extend to others. A rebirth is in the midst as you become better able to allow yourself the capacity for unconditional love of yourself. When you embrace this you become more heart centered and are better able to listen to the nudges around what is meant for you and what isn’t. All of your endeavours will feel better when you operate from your heart space and truly align.


If you chose Pile 3: New Dawn/Rising Up/Manifestation

Change is in the air, and you have been intensely feeling all of the things that have been bubbling to the surface. You are feeling the need to stand up for what you believe in, to make the choices that are right for you regardless of what others say, and to advocate for yourself and others during these tense times. What you believe in and your sense of justice are bringing in the winds of change for you to take flight in. What change do you want to see, and how can you make that happen? There is a new world taking shape, and you have the calling to be a part of that change. Ask yourself what that looks like, and what is your role in this new way of being? Be brave and step into it, the world needs your fire now more than ever.

Today, we celebrate the sacred strength, resilience, and wisdom of women across the globe. International Women’s Day isn’t just about honoring women—it’s a call to rise, to reclaim our power, and to heal from centuries of imbalance.

This day also reminds us of the deep connection we have to the Earth, to the divine, and to one another. We are the creators, the nurturers, and the warriors who have long stood at the crossroads of wisdom and endurance. It’s time to remember our inherent power and return to a world that honors the sacred feminine.

But as we rise, we witness the pushback—what some may call a patriarchal extinction burst. As the old, harmful systems crumble, those who benefited from the patriarchal structures will fight with all their might to preserve their hold on power. This burst of resistance may be loud and violent, but it is merely the death throes of a system that no longer serves us.

The patriarchy knows its time is up, and in its desperation, it lashes out. But this burst of resistance will only fuel our collective transformation. We are the phoenix rising from the ashes, our spirit unbreakable, our power unstoppable.

As we honor the women who came before us, let us also remember that this fight is not just for today—it’s for our daughters, our sisters, our future as humankind.

We are not fighting to be heard; we are fighting to create a world where our voices, our hearts, and our souls are honored in their purest form. Don’t let this be taken from you or erased from the history books.

“Every step forward toward a more just society draws extinction bursts from people who have learned to expect more than their share of privilege.” - Martha Beck

Monday Messages Reveal✨

If you chose Pile 1: Sun/Rain/Breath
Amongst the chaos it’s SO important to focus on your light right now. Gratitude is critical as we are bombarded by the negativity that is flying around out there in spades. Know that all will be well. Take time to cleanse yourself of these negative energies and keep your spaces sacred, both your inner and outer world. Bring in breath, and use it to cleanse and decompress. When we hold our breath we hold ourselves in fear. As the saying by goes: breathe in the good s**t, breathe out the bulls**t.

If you chose Pile 2: North/Atoms/Volcanoes
Let your True North guide you. You know you know, so be brave about your next steps. Remember that everything is building and changing, and that it is natural as part of our growth You’re carrying heavy energy that needs to shift and be released. Allow the anger to flow productively and channel your power to both destroy what needs to go and create what needs to be brought are. You have the foundation you need to step into creating the changes you want to see in the world. Your soul knows the way and will guide you if you ask it to.

If you chose Pile 3: Outer Core/Passion/Marine Life
It’s crucial to recognize now that rigidity in our thoughts can be harmful and that it’s ok to shift our perspectives when we bring in new information. Consider also where your resistance lies and what your motivations are. And do this when considering what’s going on in your external environment as well. Then lean in to where your passion is and focus on that. There is more than one way to find solutions to the problems we are faced with. Adaptation and resilience will help navigate the negativity and shifts that are happening.
