Financial Alchemy:
Changing Your Relationship with Money
By Morgana Rae

Your current financial situation is a direct reflection of your inner relationship with
Money. If you don’t like your finances, something needs to change in your relationship.
This is where Alchemy comes in.
Alchemy is the art of transformation. With roots in ancient Egypt and classical
Greece, Alchemy comes from a time when there was no distinction between science and
magic. The mysteries of matter and consciousness were inextricably linked (as they are
again, in today’s quantum physics). These ancient studies gave birth to modern
medicine, psychology, chemistry, and even Sir Isaac Newton’s work on gravity.
The ultimate pursuit of Alchemy was the “Philosophers’ Stone,” a substance
believed to turn worthless metals into gold. While Alchemists through the ages slaved
in the laboratory, their metalwork concealed a spiritual process, a Philosophers’ Stone
which had to be kept hidden from the Church: this was the process of inner
transformation.

Two principles are involved here: 1) turning lead into gold was an
outer demonstration of inner transformation, and 2) the seed of the solution (the gold)
was hidden in the problem (the lead).
I invite you to use this chapter to discover your own Philosophers’ Stone—your
key to wealth and inner transformation—hidden in your relationship with Money.
Before we proceed, let’s review some guidelines I adapted from Alchemist
tradition:

Rule #1: As it is above, so it is below.
What shows up in your head is going to show up in your life. Change your
relationship with money from a dead seed into a flowering garden. A seed comes to life
as a living, thriving, fruit-flowering plant…in the right environment. So, too, your own
prosperity. Your potential for financial abundance is there, waiting for the necessary
environment within you. Your relationship with money is like the soil that feeds or
starves your economic growth. As long as you have hidden beliefs that cause you to
unconsciously repel money, perhaps “protect” yourself from wealth, your garden will
not grow.

Rule #2: There is no scarcity.

A wealthy client once explained to me how he had overcome poverty. “The
amount of money out there in play every day is limitless, beyond our comprehension.
Money is everywhere,“ he explained. And it’s available in proportion to “how big your
funnel is to take it in.” He had learned to tap into the Source. This relationship
supported him.
Rule #3: Consciousness gives you choice.

I assert even a small change in your relationship consciousness can have a huge
impact on your material life. You get what you choose, but first you need to know what
you’re choosing.

If you want to improve your financial situation, you must first uncover the beliefs that
shaped your relationship with Money. Get out some paper and respond to these
questions. (Writing creates clarity and speeds your change.)
What did you hear about money when you were growing up?
What beliefs get between you and prosperity?
What have you heard about women with money?
Next, look at how Money has shown up in your life and in the lives of those
around you. Give Money personhood in relationship to you. If Money were a person,
what would your version of this Money "person" be like?
Who is Money? How do you feel about Money? Do you trust Money? Does Money trust you?
How does Money operate in your life? How does Money feel about you?
Is Money someone you'd want to have a relationship with if you didn't "have to?"
Now, take a step back and imagine looking at this relationship between yourself and
Money-as-a-person from the outside.
What shift needs to happen in this relationship?
Now, as yourself, negotiate with Money:
Does Money have a request for you? Do you have a request for Money? What's going to be
different?
How do you want to be different in this relationship? What is the next step to making this
change real?

Do the hard work with yourself first, and the rest will follow~ Kara

Samhain is a Gaelic festival marking the end of the harvest season and the beginning of winter or the "darker half" of the year.
Traditionally, it is celebrated from 31 October to 1 November, as the Celtic day began and ended at sunset.
This is about halfway between the autumn equinox and the winter solstice. It is one of the four Gaelic seasonal festivals, along with Imbolc,
Bealtaine and Lughnasadh. Historically, it was widely observed throughout Ireland, Scotland and the Isle of Man.
Similar festivals are held at the same time of year in other Celtic lands; for example the Brythonic Calan Gaeaf (in Wales), Kalan Gwav (in Cornwall),
and Kalan Goañv (in Brittany), both Celtic branches are roughly as old as each other.

Samhain is believed to have Celtic pagan origins and there is evidence it has been an important date since ancient times.
Some Neolithic passage tombs in Ireland are aligned with the sunrise around the time of Samhain.
It is mentioned in some of the earliest Irish literature and many important events in Irish mythology happen or begin on Samhain.
It was the time when cattle were brought back down from the summer pastures and when livestock were slaughtered for the winter.
As at Bealtaine,
special bonfires were lit. These were deemed to have protective and cleansing powers and there were rituals involving them.
Like Bealtaine, Samhain was seen as a liminal time, when the boundary between this world and the Otherworld could more easily be crossed.
This meant the Aos Sí, the 'spirits' or 'fairies', could more easily come into our world.
Most scholars see the Aos Sí as remnants of the pagan gods and nature spirits.
At Samhain, it was believed that the Aos Sí needed to be propitiated to ensure that the people and their livestock survived the winter.
Offerings of food and drink were left outside for them. The souls of the dead were also thought to revisit their homes seeking hospitality.

Feasts were had, at which the souls of dead kin were beckoned to attend and a place set at the table for them. Mumming and guising were part of the festival,
and involved people going door-to-door in costume (or in disguise), often reciting verses in exchange for food. The costumes may have been a way of imitating,
and disguising oneself from, the Aos Sí. Divination rituals and games were also a big part of the festival and often involved nuts and apples.

For Pagans, death and birth are intertwined. Our goddesses and gods all represent aspects of the cycle of birth, growth, death, and regeneration.
Every good gardener knows that fertility is born out of decay. Every fallen leaf becomes part of the soil that feeds the roots of growing trees.

A public ritual to acknowledge the dead is a statement that grief is valued.

Pagans have no dogma that must be accepted. Our spirituality centers on experience, not faith.
Yet if we were to hold one common belief, it might be that our individuality lives on after death.
We remain part of our communities,
alive and present in a different realm.

~Reclaiming Your Energy from Others by Cutting Their Cords~

If you are constantly feeling that people are draining energy and life from you, maybe it is because they are. When one has reached a certain level of spiritual advancement, it is quite common to be severely out of balance relative to giving and receiving. Usually because receiving is easier, giving has to be taught and ingrained in the spirit (as in the old saying "it is better to give than to receive").

When you are out of balance relative to giving, how this manifests in your body is through inner cords flowing energy in one direction: from the giver to the takers. For optimum health and vitality, the energetic flow in all of your relationships should be in both directions. So you, as the giver, have two choices: to establish a two way flow with each one of the takers OR to cut the energetic cords between the two of you. When a two way flow is impossible, it is best to cut the cords.

Goal: When you are unable to establish a healthy energetic flow with another person, this exercise allows you to clear the energetic space between you. This is achieved by you intentionally and deliberately cutting the one directional energy cord with the other person(s) who are draining you of life or joy.

Preparation: Careful preparation is the key to the success of this exercise.

1)There are two things you need to identify before you can begin:

a) The people in your life from whom you need to reclaim your energy (usually these are the "difficult, problem" people and you know who they are!!).

b)The energy chakra(s) in your body that are most effected by these people. Usually, you will have an instant knowingness about which energy chakra(s) is effected. If not, here are a few guidelines to help you determine which chakra is effected.

Crown: is effected when people attack your religious beliefs and experiences.
Third Eye: is effected when people try to get you to doubt yourself.
Throat: is effected when people try to stop you from speaking your truth.
Heart: is effected when people abuse or discount the love you have offered them.
Solar Plexus: is effected when people attack your core beliefs and values.
Sacrum: is effected when people put social pressure on you to conform.
Root: is effected when people manipulate you with s*x, money, or power.

2) Do this exercise at night after you have taken a bath but before you have gone to bed. It is best you do it when you will be able to sleep the next day.

3)When this exercise is complete, drink a full glass of water. Immediately cleanse yourself. Good cleansing will vary depending on if you are an:

"Air" person, sweating in a sauna or steam room is good cleansing.
"Water" person, taking a long shower is good cleansing.
"Earth" person, taking a mud bath is good cleansing.
"Fire" person, sitting surrounded by lit candles is good cleansing.

4) Be patient with yourself for a week or so. "Reclaiming your own energy" can be quite disorienting until the changes are fully integrated. It is VERY powerful and it takes time for the work that you have done on the inner bodies to be reflected in your outer body ("as above, so below"). If you are doing this process to effect a change, then you should be fully prepared to expect a change. You know the old saying: "Be careful what you wish for, you might get it!"

5) Being comfortable is the key. You can lie down (recommended) or sit up. If you opt to sit up, you must be supported and feel fully relaxed and comfortable.

6) Do this exercise in a place where you will be completely quiet and undisturbed for the entire session. This should last NO longer than 30 minutes. Set an alarm or timer to snap you out of it should the session run longer.

How to Do This Exercise:

1)Take some deep, refreshing breaths until you are totally comfortable and relaxed in whatever position you have chosen (it should take you no more than 3 minutes to get comfortable).

2) Focus on the chakra that you are trying to reclaim (for most people, it will be their heart). Close your eyes and see energy cords extending from the effected chakra to the "taking" person that is now "stealing" your energy. There may be more than one person: wait until you see all the people who are "corded" to you energetically and until you feel them pulling on your cords.

3) Form a vision in your mind of a cutting instrument that appeals to you (some people like golden scissors, others (like me) prefer swords). Give it as much reality as you can: see golden light gleaming off of it, hear it's sound as move it toward the cords, and feel the weight of it in your hand.

4)Visualizing yourself approaching the person at the end of the cord. Show them the cutting instrument you have chosen. Ask them to let go of the cord and tell them, if they refuse, that you are going to cut it anyway because you are the only one who should be owning your energy (they MUST let it go).

5)Depending upon the answer the taker(s) give you, either take back or cut the energy cord between you. This means that the full cord is comes out of their hands and goes back into yours. Remember that they HAVE to give your energy back.

6) Fold the energy cord back into yourself. See it as a stream of light that you add to your energy chakra. Once you have added it back, see your energy chakra shining with a brighter and more beautiful light than ever before. Feel the peace that comes with being fully in control of your own energy.

7)Say to the person "Thank you for the lessons but I am complete with them. I reclaim my energy for myself. May you be peaceful, healthy, and joyful. For I shall be peaceful, healthy, and joyful forever." Use here whatever words you wish but convey the same ideas in a positive, healing way.

8) Repeat this process until all the cords held by all the "takers" have been folded back into you. You have reclaimed your energy and with it your own powerful uniqueness. Remember not to give it away (or you will have to reclaim it again)
