DOWNLOAD EBOOK“An enchanting, engaging, and insightful” guide on how to use modern alchemy to develop intuition, cultivate self-knowledge—and apply real magic to life's challenges (Caroline Myss, author of Entering the Castle) Many regard alchemy as a metaphor for inner transformation. But this is only half the story. According to Catherine MacCoun, alchemy is no mere metaphor. It’s real magic. Transforming the inner world is, for the alchemist, a way to transform the outer world. Through studying the principles of alchemy, we can achieve extraordinary effects from ordinary actions by understanding how the world really works. We can perceive the hidden connections between the spiritual and the material worlds. Knowledge of these connections enables us to influence external phenomena through the powers of heart and mind alone. Yet alchemy is not, like some forms of magic, the exercise of mind over matter. It is the art of taking what already exists—whatever presents itself—and transmuting the harmful into the helpful, the useless into the valuable. On Becoming an Alchemist initiates us into these secrets, showing us how to think, perceive, and operate as an alchemist. It offers practical advice and exercises that will help the modern magician to: ● Understand and apply basic principles of alchemy ● Transmute setbacks, failures, and losses into sources of magical power ● Navigate one’s inner world with poise, confidence, and common sense ● Intuitively show up in the right place at the right time to benefit from magical coincidences ● Discover the potentials latent in any situation by awakening subtle perception

DOWNLOAD EBOOKBeing forced to confront death is a profound opportunity to explore what it means to be alive. In 1999, on the cusp of adulthood and newly in love, Jody White's whole world caved in, taking his breath away. He was diagnosed with a rare and aggressive form of acute leukaemia and given two weeks to live. After a whirlwind of intensive treatment, and close to death, he drifted between worlds, dreaming himself into the care of a wizened old cowboy, his own personal SWAT team and an old crone who wanders the desert collecting wolf bones. That year broke him apart, before he slowly put himself back together again. Anyone touched by cancer or life-threatening events will know how this feels. We are forced to confront our own mortality and nothing can prepare us. Chimera is his attempt to describe how that felt, how a dance with death changes us, exposing the bones, the very core, of who we really are. Jody spent the two decades since facing facts, recovering and integrating the fractured parts of himself, collecting understandings he once thought impossible. Eventually, he caught his breath. His arduous journey revealed itself as what he understood to be an alchemical initiation – a near-death experience framed by the innate, mythic stories that touch all our lives.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKIbram Ucalegon is a private investigator in the strictest sense of the term. He only has one client: Lady Azadiya Hobon, the intelligent, poised, and beautiful alchemist who oversees the daily struggles of life in the alchemical village of Lityen, and he investigates whatever she tells him to. In a village crammed with foreign deities, potion pushers, and folk who can see through a man's skin straight to his bones, Ibram's the thoroughly mundane answer to every murky question. Together with his childhood friend, Ahksell Solari, alchemist and movable mountain, they tidy up the dark corners and murderous disputes of Lityen's population amidst the never-ending upheaval of merchants, adventurers, and displaced nobility seeking their fortunes. In The Gilty Party: Ibram thought he knew everything he needed to know about the death of Harken Tolk, but when the man who found him disappears before the inquest, Lady Azadiya has no choice but to reopen the investigation. Did Ibram sign off on a natural death, when the verdict should have been murder? Or is Rustam Monbrith hiding some other secret? In Cursebird On A Wire: Following a short period of unfortunate incarceration, Ibram buys his freedom by promising his jailer an introduction to Lady Azadiya. But on the day of the introductory gala, a cursebird flies in the face of everybody's plans. Can Lady Azadiya discover the culprit and save the party before Ibram trades in his smooth sailing for another hard landing? The Alchemist's Agent Omnibus 1 is a collection of two books in E.M. Burnham's standalone fantastical mystery series: The Alchemist's Agent. The books included are: The Gilty Party, the first book in the series, and Cursebird On A Wire, a prequel novella.
