In Rules of Magic, Franny & Jet visit the Alchemy Tree; an ancient Red Oak Tree in Central Park. They cast their wishes on Samhain also known as All Hallow's Eve, the night when the veil between worlds is at its thinnest.
In this episode, we delve into the fascinating world of alchemy, occult philosophy, and natural magick through the symbolism of the Alchemy Tree in the novel Rules of Magic. Rooted in ancient mystical traditions, this metaphysical tree represents the stages of transformation in alchemy—from base material to spiritual enlightenment—mirroring the occultist’s journey of self-evolution and the pursuit of the Philosopher’s Stone.
Additionally, we take a deep dive into the magick of Red Oak trees—powerful symbols in both alchemical and magical traditions. Known for their strength, endurance, and deep-rooted energy, Red Oaks are sacred in many traditions for their connection to the earth and the heavens, representing the bridge between the physical and spiritual worlds.
Join us as we unravel how these two symbols—the Alchemy Tree and the Red Oak—converge in both ancient and modern magical traditions, offering insights into the deeper meanings behind transformation, nature, and spiritual growth in the world of Practical Magic.
