ELIXIR: A Journey into Ancestral Alchemology
Posted by Literary Titan

Gisella Rose’s ELIXIR: A Journey into Ancestral Alchemology is a lush blend of memoir, mysticism, and method. It’s a spiritual guide that threads together genealogy, astrology, elemental wisdom, and somatic awareness into what she calls “Ancestral Alchemology.” The book opens with her near-death experience at age three and moves through a lifetime of weaving ancestry, astrology, and self-healing into a single sacred practice. Rose explains how the elements, fire, water, air, and earth, shape not just nature but the stories of our bloodlines. Through the “MoonTree Chart,” she shows readers how to trace cosmic patterns through family history, turning family trees into living constellations. The work is both personal and strangely universal, a map for anyone wanting to understand where they come from and how to heal old generational wounds.
The writing is rich and sensory, sometimes so poetic it hums. Rose’s language is vivid and flowing, full of emotion and imagery, though at times it wanders into repetition. Still, there’s a raw sincerity that holds it all together. I loved how she brought her grief and her wonder into the same space, never polishing away the human messiness behind the mysticism. She invites the reader to think of ancestry not as data but as story, as breath, as pulse. The mix of spiritual and practical astrological charts, along with reflections on trauma and epigenetics, makes the work feel grounded even when it reaches into the mystical.
At times, the writing drifts into abstraction, and I found myself wishing for a few more grounded examples or simpler turns of phrase. Still, the poetic rhythm has a beauty that draws you in. Those slower passages feel intentional. It’s a book meant to unfold gently, best read slowly. I often paused to reflect, thinking of my own family and the quiet stories resting in my roots. The book left me with a soft ache and a lingering curiosity that felt both tender and alive.
ELIXIR is best suited for readers drawn to the mystical and introspective, people who love astrology, ritual, or personal transformation through ancestral work. It’s a companion for seekers. I’d recommend it to anyone who feels their roots tugging at them, who wants to bridge the spiritual with the tangible, who believes that healing can travel through time.

Posted by Literary Titan

Owning Your Destiny by Duncan McLauren is an honest recollection of the author’s journey to recenter her life after her divorce. How a chance meeting with Silas, a psychic advisor, leads her to harness her power to create a new beginning she desires.
The book offers practical tips on techniques to help achieve personal growth in your own life, looking at simple meditation practices, gratitude and dream journaling, and creative visualization. Readers see the author learn to shed their own feelings of self-doubt and limiting beliefs and open herself up to new possibilities and a more positive life outlook.
Owning Your Destiny finishes with a well-thought-out 25-day plan you can use to reboot your own life through simple but effective exercises. I enjoyed this book and appreciated Duncan McLauren’s straightforward and encouraging writing style and easy-to-implement tips.
It’s well-written and straightforward to digest. The overall message of the book is both joyful and heartfelt. I enjoyed the fact that as we followed the author’s path, it was like having a new friend joining you along your journey.
I found the exercises on creative visualization and vision boards particularly valuable. If, like me, you struggle to identify a clear path and often get distracted, this technique offers a creative way to gain some clarity on how you want your life to move forward. I found the book, the exercises helped me create a more positive energy in my daily life, and I found a newfound love for gratitude journaling!
Owning Your Destiny: A Woman’s Guide to Harnessing the Power Within is an inspiring and interesting read. Great for anyone interested in exploring affirmations, journaling, and manifestation.
