A Practicing Word Alchemist
My covenant is with God.
From that covenant flows my willingness to listen and my devotion to the work
that has been brought to me and through me.
This work did not begin as an idea. It arrived over many years as God-given instruction.
Once The Word Oracle Alchemy System had taken form as a deck of cards,
two of the cards revealed to me the underpinning of the work.
“My Reflection Reveals My Perfection.”
This is not an aspiration toward perfection.
It is an invitation to look beyond the reflection we have learned to see and into the inner splendor
that reveals the perfection within us.
Language can hold us under borrowed spells — meanings, associations, judgments,
and stories accumulated simply through being alive.
Through unspelling, we begin loosening those spells and looking beyond
what language has taught us to see.
“The Language of Universal Love is My Mother Tongue.”
This reveals what naturally occurs as we apply ourselves to the task of seeing our perfection in our reflection.
Through upspelling, words are given fresh associations. We consciously participate in changing what those words hold within us and what they activate when they return to our field.
The Language of Universal Love is the language that emerges as the old spells are released and words are made fresh in the energy of love, Grace, and Presence.
The path to Word Alchemy unfolded over many years.
My daily sacred practice became the ground from which The Word Oracle Alchemy System emerged.
Ho’oponopono taught me to return to zero.
Practicing the Presence taught me to return my awareness again and again to the one Presence beneath what appears to be happening.
Within that devotion, my daily prayer practice had me speaking the words of Ho’oponopono as I painted and dotted spiraling hearts.
Both practices held the same focus: returning to zero, returning to the Father’s house, returning again and again to the Presence.
I would spend at least 20 minutes each day in that practice. As I painted, words from Ho’oponopono were written directly onto the surface in paint and then moved across the surface as the painting emerged.
I wasn’t making oracle cards. I was praying.
Each time I prayed, I began by taking out all the existing paintings before making another one. One day, surrounded by the growing collection, I asked:
What am I doing?
The answer came:
We are your cards.
That was the beginning of my understanding of what was taking form.
The paintings began going out into the world. People chose a painting and sat with me while I listened. Through that listening came a message and a specific embodiment practice for the person who had chosen it. They then took their painting home with them.
I continued the daily practice. I continued painting, listening, and following the instruction I was given.
Over the years, hundreds of individual paintings passed through my hands, and hundreds of messages meant specifically for the people who received them passed through my lips, before any of the paintings that would eventually become The Word Oracle Alchemy System were begun.
I did not know where any of this was leading while it was arriving.
I listened.
I followed.
I did the tasks I was shown to do each day.
Over time, what had arrived piece by piece revealed itself as one body of work.
And throughout it all, the reminder remained the same:

A reminder that I am the hands, but God is the Source.
Today, Word Alchemy exists as a body of practices, tools, teachings, and experiences for consciously engaging with the energy of language.
At its center is The Word Oracle Alchemy System — 104 double-sided cards.
The Oracle brings words into view so they can be consciously met. With the deck in your hands, you can work at your own pace, use words as wands, purposely unspell old associations, and upspell those words with fresh ones.
Word Alchemy can also be experienced without owning the physical deck. Your Name Code, Word Metamorphosis, the Flower of Life Activation, Word Potions, and other online teachings and activations bring the practices to you through email, video, and live experiences.
These are different ways of entering the same practice: consciously meeting and shifting the energy of the words operating within you.
Child. Maiden. Mother. Crone.
I have lived through many versions of myself, and through every season, Grace has been present.
The woman I am today carries the experiences of the girl, the maiden, the mother, and now the crone — not as identities to remain inside, but as a life through which I have been taught to listen.
At this stage of my life, I know what I am here to give my attention to.
I continue to practice.
I continue to listen.
I continue to follow the instruction I am given.
And I continue to place what comes through me into the world so that those who are drawn to Word Alchemy can engage with it for themselves.
This is why I do what I do.

Words are not small.
They enter us through definition and lived experience, gathering through repetition the associations that become part of the language held within us.
Every word we consciously meet is an opportunity to loosen a borrowed spell, establish a fresh association, and participate differently with the language operating within us.
The work we do within ourselves is not ours alone.
As we consciously change our relationship with language, we participate in the whole. What we clean for ourselves, we clean in service of all.
Word by word, we participate in the realization that My Reflection Reveals My Perfection, allowing The Language of Universal Love Is My Mother Tongue to become the language we naturally speak.
Something brought you here.
Perhaps something within these words has spoken to something within you.
If so, follow what has your attention.
