For instructions on how to work with an Art-Alchemy image - The Fembot Oracle or glyph read the instructions below from page 29 of the pdf. (Turns out I hadn't recorded a video in this timeline for it!)

Working with the images

Art-Alchemy creates a namaste in action — the divine in the artist witnesses the divine in us. Whatever the formulation — be it a photograph, a painting, a meal or a song — transmission and impact can arise. This is a dynamic two-way experience, we witness as much as we are witnessed.

When I begin working with a chosen Fembot Oracle, I usually start with feminine engagement. I widen my gaze and extend my peripheral vision, taking in the image as a whole. I receive it. I let myself be witnessed by it. I let myself be seen. I notice what is happening inside me as I explore with that Fembot Oracle. I do not attempt to ‘get’ anything from it. I surrender to the arising and notice what is.

I often notice the image ‘moving’ at this point — some parts seem to come forward, creating a sense of depth. From an empty place, I hold a space for emergence to arise. I stay with the image as a whole.

This empty space is not one of ignorance but of openness, possibility, beginner’s mind and no position. I allow the vastness that I am to be felt. Each Fembot Oracle is an alchemical mirror, allowing us to see aspects of our deep-wild beauty, wonder and kindness that we might have turned away from. As we remain in feminine open engagement, those parts of us are witnessed, and our body adjusts. Spontaneous movement becomes more available and may express itself.

Masculine engagement emerges from open, receptive feminine engagement. It doesn’t abruptly flick on like a light switch but emerges like a sunrise — perhaps slowly or rapidly. It is equally uninformed but has a quality of curiosity, playfulness and dynamism. My centre might suddenly notice one part of the image as if it were calling me to explore it. I might discover creatures or shapes within the patterns, textures and colours. Many people find plant, fungi and animal imagery within this playful realm of exploration. The Fembot Oracle brings us into a rich and wild relationship with our natural world and the ancestral spirit that runs through it.

The energy of my inner child comes so alive here. I can play and dance within the image. There is a quality of active engagement — touching, moving, entering.

When it feels right I connect in ‘Xtra-binary engagement’, moving somewhere in between the masculine and the feminine dynamic. I am equally aware of the image’s dynamism and my body-mind’s interior experience.

The dance between our masculine, feminine and Xtra-binary can move within seconds or minutes. The key element is to allow the dance between the three of them. Back and forth. When the specificity of the masculine arises, go with it. When the openness of the feminine arises, go with it. When the harmonising of the Xtra-binary arises, go with it.

At any point in the dance, there might be emergence on your part. Ideas, inspiration, physical or emotional release. Go with it.

At a certain point, after a few seconds, minutes or hours, you will know you have completed your engagement. Your heart will let you know. I then recommend moving on to the text.

You can also connect with the images during specific creative endeavours and have them as company as you bring forth that which is within you. If you have the deck, this can be easily done by propping them up in the vicinity and allowing them to infuse the space.
