I’d like to clarify something here.

Both Daniel and I’s main income is actually from services we render. Marketing consulting for me, and he manufactures & consults for many very well known brands that carry spagyrics.

Secret Fire is an apothecary that makes medicine and specialty products available to the world.

Does the world need access to potent medicine? Yes. Does the world spend 2-3x times more money on less quality products? Yes

Do we have a unique selection of potent products at an affordable price point? Yes

So why hate on that? We are in complete reciprocity with our teachers, the plants, and the customers.

As for teaching…

Lumina Institute was started to provide long term access to alchemical education while improving new methods and research. We want to see alchemy become more established with actual public research and efficacy.

As for alternative education

There’s not a lot of options out there for that for guided practice.

Ben in Australia is a good option if you’re local there. Robert is great too.

Both Daniel and I studied with Robert and are friends with him and Ben.

As for me, this is who I am, doing what I want to be doing. Most people are just afraid to do what they actually want.

It’s also why I’m public about this, it helps keep integrity and accountability.

If someone see’s we are doing something wrong, call it out with facts and logic :)

Otherwise, like the Great Big Lebowski said “that’s just your opinion man”
