Hey there, I’m Donna.

I came to alchemy because I needed a way to understand what was happening to my life.

In graduate school, my body broke down. I was exhausted, sick & unraveling in ways doctors couldn’t explain. That crisis changed my relationship with the world — first through shamanic healing, then through years of therapy work.

But healing didn’t end the questions. It deepened them.

As a practicing astrologer, I could see when people were in the middle of profound change. The charts were clear. The timing was right. And yet insight alone didn’t tell them how to help move through it. Modern astrology can describe transformation beautifully — but it doesn’t always teach how to live it.

I kept circling the same problem in different languages.

And then I found alchemy.

Not as metaphor. Not as psychology dressed in symbols. But as a living tradition that understands breakdown, contradiction & rebirth as essential stages of transformation. Alchemy didn’t ask me to fix myself or transcend my experience. It taught me how to recognize the stage I was in & work with it.

I created Way of the Alchemist because this language is missing from so much modern spiritual & psychological practice. You can’t really understand Hermeticism — or live it honestly — without it.

This course isn’t about belief. It’s about learning how to navigate change gracefully — from the inside out.

If you’re ready to learn what that means for you — welcome home.

What is the Way of the Alchemist?

The Way of the Alchemist isn’t just a course — it’s a 13-week guided exploration of how deep personal transformation actually works.

It brings together ancient alchemical knowledge & modern psychological insight into a grounded, practical path for understanding change — not as an abstract idea, but as a lived process you can recognize and work with.

You won’t just study alchemy as symbolism — you’ll learn how the alchemical process shows up in real life, and how to work with it consciously.

Along the way, you’ll explore:
A clear framework for inner transformation
Practices that support change without bypassing the hard parts
A steady rhythm of reflection, experiment, and integration

When Old Ways Stop Working

There are moments when the structures you’ve relied on no longer hold.
What used to work doesn’t.
Who you’ve been no longer fits.

Modern culture treats these moments as problems to solve or avoid.
Alchemy recognizes them as the beginning of real transformation.

When something breaks down, it isn’t a mistake — it’s a signal that change is already underway.

Way of the Alchemist is for those moments.
It offers a way to understand what’s happening, stay oriented while things shift, and work with the process instead of fighting it.

You don’t have to rush it.
You don’t have to bypass it.
You don’t have to go through it blindly.

You don’t have to do this alone.

Inside the Way of the Alchemist

Why did I create this course? Because so many people are stuck inside false choices — either/or thinking that makes real change feel impossible.

After years of coaching, I kept seeing the same pattern: people doing deep inner work who feel pulled between staying loyal to their past & letting go, between responsibility & longing, between trusting the process & taking action. People facing transformation without a way to navigate change gracefully.

Way of the Alchemist is my answer to that.

It’s a structured, grounded path that teaches you how transformation actually works — not by choosing one side over another, but by learning how change emerges through tension, pressure & integration.

Through study, contemplative practice & hands-on experimentation, you’ll learn how to stay present when opposites collide — and how to work with those moments until something new takes shape.

If you’re reading this, I suspect you’re already living inside that tension.
You don’t need to fix yourself or resolve everything at once. You need a framework that can hold complexity without collapsing into extremes.

That’s what Way of the Alchemist offers.

So you can stop fighting the process & start participating in your own transformation with clarity, patience & intention.

Special Bonus!

Initiation into the Way of the Alchemist

Initiation is a threshold. It’s not a performance — it’s a passage.

At the end of your 12-week journey, you’ll be guided through a personal alchemical initiation — one that marks your transition from learning about transformation to consciously living it.

You’ll gather the work of every stage — breakdown, refinement, synthesis & integration — into a single, coherent act that affirms who you are becoming.

It’s not about more knowledge...

It’s about embodiment — stepping forward as someone who can navigate change gracefully and carry the Work into daily life.

Move at Your Own Pace — You Won’t Fall Behind

You’ll keep access to every video, study guide & more for as long as the course exists inside Magic & Mastery. Even if life gets chaotic, you can work at your own pace, revisit teachings anytime & grow in a rhythm that truly fits your life.
