About the Book

Each of us has the ability to perform magic and to transform our lives and our world for the better. True magicians don't recite incantations or spells says Catherine MacCoun, a modern-day alchemist. They don't cause things to appear or disappear. Instead, they take what already exists - whatever they're presented with - and transmute the harmful into the helpful, the useless into the valuable. Here is a guide to recognizing, cultivating, and using the magic of your inner wisdom and intuitive power."On Becoming an Alchemist" helps readers to understand how the alchemical transmutation is achieved - not through trying to change circumstances, but through changing themselves. At its essence, practising alchemy involves developing an understanding of our relationship to the situation, person, or object in question-and realizing that by changing our viewpoint, we can exert influence over people and events. The alchemical principles presented by MacCoun can be applied to all the ordinary challenges of life including relationships, family life, work, health, finances, and creative endeavours.

Review :
"What MacCoun gives us in her book is a great telling of the workability of magic complete with history, principles, and procedures. She believes that we all have the ability to perform magic, to transform our lives and our world for the better."--Evolve! Magazine "A richly gratifying exploration of alchemy. MacCoun represents this ancient art as a kind of spiritual graduate school."--Publishers Weekly (starred review) "An enchanting, engaging, and insightful work that investigates the power of our creativity and our relationship to the laws of the universe."--Caroline Myss, author of Entering the Castle and Anatomy of the Spirit "Catherine MacCoun is a great communicator, and she knows her stuff from the inside too. Blows a bright and refreshing breeze through the musty halls of hermetic and magical symbolism, and lays it all on the line. Highly recommended."--Gareth Knight, author of Magic and the Western Mind "A true alchemist, Catherine MacCoun has transformed profound ideas into a gold standard of what a book on magic should be. Excellently written with prose that sparkles with clarity and wit, this book can serve novice and advanced practitioner alike with equal grace and insight."--David Spangler, author of Blessing and Everyday Miracles "Many discussions of alchemy are hopelessly dense and opaque; this one is full of light and life. With admirable clarity, MacCoun shows how alchemy can benefit one's life here and now. This is uncluttered, everyday wisdom; the most accessible discussion of the psychospiritual dimensions of alchemy to appear in years."―Larry Dossey, MD, author of The Extraordinary Healing Power of Ordinary Things “What MacCoun gives us in her book is a great telling of the workability of magic complete with history, principles, and procedures. She believes that we all have the ability to perform magic, to transform our lives and our world for the better.”—"Evolve! Magazine" “A richly gratifying exploration of alchemy.
