The journey from igniting the sacred flame to embodying transformation.

The Seven Stages of the Waxomancy® Alchemical Process

1. Calcination | Ignition

Bringing Shadow into the Light

Ignite the sacred flame with intention to begin the alchemical work. What has been hidden, hardened or held in shadow meets the transforming fire.

2. Dissolution | Softening

Loosening What Has Been Held

The melting wax reflects the softening of shadow, accumulated density, rigid patterns and unhealthy attachments; what was once fixed softens and becomes fluid.

3. Separation | Discernment

Releasing What No Longer Belongs

The sacred flame works through the layers of shadow, revealing what is ready to be released and clearing the way for the light.

4. Conjunction | Re-union

Returning to Wholeness

As shadow is released, the space it once occupied begins returning to harmony, preparing the way for renewed light.

5. Fermentation | Renewal

Welcoming the Light

As shadow is transmuted, new light fills the space it once occupied, awakening renewal, vitality and possibility.

6. Distillation | Refinement

Deepening Alignment

New light is purified, strengthened and brought into deeper alignment, preparing the transformation to be embodied.

7. Coagulation | Embodiment

Living the Transformation

The transformation moves beyond the flame and into lived experience, as the renewed light becomes embodied in everyday life.

Waxomancy® is a contemporary alchemical flame-healing modality, rooted in the seven classical stages of alchemical transmutation.

The Waxomancy® Ology Method

The seven alchemical stages form the foundation of Waxomancy®; its three interpretive disciplines, Flameology™, Wickology™ and Waxology™, reveal how the work unfolds.

Flameology™ witnesses the transmutation in motion.

Wickology™ reveals how the work is carried through the central channel.

Waxology™ explores the record held within the wax and vessel, revealing what softened, released, settled and remains.

Together, they offer a deeper understanding of the complete alchemical flame-healing journey, from shadow into light, alignment and embodiment.
