Spiral of Alchemy

           There are 33 Degrees in the Spiral of Alchemy system: Each Priest/ess Alchemist provides her/his own original program of study, culminating in a rite of Liturgy. The rites are based upon the 33 intersecting points made by the 8-pointed Star of Ishtar, bisecting the 4-fold coils of the Dragon Tiamat. Please note: There are two systems that Olivia Robertson created, to choose from below.
