If you've been on the lookout for a deeper sense of purpose, clarity, and some powerful tools to transform your life, I have an amazing opportunity for you. Sovereign Ipsissimus Dave Lanyon, a global teacher of the Hermetic tradition and the head of the Modern Mystery School, is hosting a free live webinar for those yearning for answers to life's deeper questions.

Join us for "Unlock the Mysteries of Life: A FREE Webinar with Dave Lanyon" on Sunday, December 14th at 2 p.m. EST. The webinar will be live via Zoom and it's completely free to attend.

During this session, you'll dive into:
- The power and relevance of Hermetic wisdom
- The initiatory path of self-mastery
- The living Lineage of King Salomon

Plus, you'll have the chance to join a live Q&A with Dave Lanyon himself.

This is a fantastic chance to soak in the energy of a true lineage and see if the Keys to the Ancients is the path you're meant to follow. If you feel that spark, trust it and follow it.

With love,
Wendy

"That's so woo-woo"

I used to think the same thing.

Lineages. Initiations. Ancient teachings.

It all sounded like mystical nonsense to my science-minded brain.

But then I asked myself: What if we've been taught to dismiss the very wisdom that could set us free?

Here's why lineage matters:

1. IT'S BEEN TESTED FOR THOUSANDS OF YEARS
The teachings from the Modern Mystery School trace back 3,000+ years to King Salomon. They've been preserved, protected, and passed down through direct initiation.

This isn't someone's "channeled message" from last Tuesday.

This is PROVEN over millennia.

2. DIRECT TRANSMISSION HOLDS POWER

When a teacher initiates a student (teacher to student, unbroken for 3,000 years), they're passing on more than information—they're passing on ENERGY, AUTHORITY, and ACTIVATION.

It's like: You can read about electricity in a book.
Or you can flip a switch and EXPERIENCE it.
Lineage is the switch.

3. IT'S NOT AVAILABLE EVERYWHERE

Not because it's "exclusive" or elitist—but because it requires COMMITMENT.

You can't Google your way to initiation.

You can't YouTube your way to self-mastery.

Some things require showing up, doing the work, and being willing to transform.

My skeptical brain wanted "proof":

~ After Life Activation: I stopped absorbing others' energy (proof)
~ After Empower Thyself: I had 10x more light, clarity, and purpose (proof)
~ After Kabbalah: I sold my business and stepped into my purpose (proof)
~ After Ritual Master: I became physically stronger, mentally clearer, spiritually aligned (proof)

This isn't belief. This is EVIDENCE.

So when people say "that's woo-woo," I say:
"Cool. I was skeptical too. But the results speak for themselves."

The teachings work
BECAUSE they're ancient.
BECAUSE they're protected.
BECAUSE they're passed through lineage.

Modern self-help comes and goes.

Ancient wisdom?
Still here.
Still working.
Still transforming lives.

Are you ready to stop chasing the next trend and tap into something TIMELESS?

“Without commitment, you will never be more successful in life than you are today.”

Commitment is the fire that transforms potential into power. It is the moment we stop wishing and start becoming.

Many people say they want change — more peace, abundance, clarity, or purpose — yet hold back the one ingredient that makes transformation possible: commitment.

Commitment is the act of saying yes with your whole being.

It anchors your Will into motion and tells the Universe, “I am ready.”

Hermetic teachings remind us that the world reflects our level of commitment.

Half-hearted effort brings half-formed results.
True success — whether in spiritual work, relationships, or mastery of the self — requires full engagement of mind, heart, and spirit.

When you commit, energy reorganizes around your decision.

Doors open. Opportunities appear. Strength awakens.

What once seemed “too hard” becomes possible because your Will is now aligned with divine purpose.

Without commitment, you stay in the loop of potential — learning, preparing, hoping — but never embodying.

With commitment, you cross the threshold into creation.

🜂 Reflection Questions

Where in my life have I hesitated to fully commit?

What fear, doubt, or comfort am I protecting by staying uncommitted?

What would my life look like six months from now if I chose full commitment today?

Hermetic Insight

Commitment is the bridge between who you are and who you are becoming.
Without it, nothing changes.
With it, everything does.

(This is a card from Sovereign Ipsissimus Dave Lanyon's Hermetic Wisdom Contemplation Cards which are opportunities to ponder God and oneself as god, absent any external and unnecessary human influences. God, not through religion, science, or human dogma but through the Self as the Self.)

I Feel Stuck

I hear this ALL the time. And I used to say it constantly.

Stuck in my business.
Stuck in my grief.
Stuck in patterns I couldn't break.

But here's what I finally learned:

You're not stuck. You're ATTACHED.

There's a difference.

Stuck implies: Something external is blocking you. You're powerless. You need rescue.

Attached means: You're holding onto something that's keeping you in place.

Common attachments that create "stuckness":

1. ATTACHMENT TO BEING RIGHT
"My way is the best way." This keeps you from trying new approaches.

2. ATTACHMENT TO YOUR IDENTITY
"I'm not the type of person who..." This keeps you from evolving.
I was attached to being "Wendy the Business Owner." So attached that I stayed in a business I'd outgrown for YEARS.

3. ATTACHMENT TO YOUR STORY
"I'm the widow." "I'm the victim." "I'm the one who always struggles."
Your story becomes your prison.

4. ATTACHMENT TO CONTROL
"If I just work harder, plan better, control more..." This keeps you from surrendering to your higher path.

5. ATTACHMENT TO COMFORT
Change is uncomfortable. So you stay in the known suffering rather than risk the unknown.

How I got UNSTUCK:
Kabbalah forced me to confront my attachments:

Attached to "success" = my business
Attached to proving myself = my worth
Attached to being seen as "having it together" = my identity

When I released those attachments? Suddenly I wasn't stuck anymore.

I sold my business. Started healing work. Completely transformed my life.

Here's the hard truth:

If you're truly stuck, ask yourself: What am I holding onto?

What belief, identity, story, or need for control is keeping you here?

Because I promise: You're not stuck.

You're just attached to the anchor.

What attachment is keeping YOU stuck? (Be honest—this is where breakthrough begins.)

This past week, two members of our community took a profound step forward on their spiritual path, entering Healers Academy and learning the transformative modality of Life Activation. What made this milestone even more powerful was the presence of ten others from our community who gathered to witness and support their 2nd Step Initiation.

There's something sacred about watching someone step into a new level of their power, surrounded by people who've walked the path before them and those who will walk it alongside them. The next morning, one of the initiates shared with me that the enormity of what she'd accomplished had truly landed—she was moved to tears, filled with gratitude and wonder at this remarkable journey she's undertaken.

These moments remind me why the path matters so much. It's not just about what you learn; it's about who you become, and the community that holds you as you transform. Watching these two step into their next chapter, knowing the journey ahead of them, is one of the greatest honors of this work.
