Oracle Finally Meets Energetic Alchemy!

For my birthday-month episode of Mythic Mel, I gave myself a happy present and wanted to share the yummy, sparkly, wise, delicious cosmic cake with you all! I special-request-invited my Reiki and Energetic Alchemy teacher and dear friend Yolanda Williams to come and speak to us about the fascinating way her magical oracle card deck, The Energetic Alchemist Oracle, came into being. And she said yes! Ask and you shall receive. :) BONUS: If you listen to the full interview and follow the directions in a post connected to this episode on my Speakeasy Reiki Instagram channel (link below), one lucky August 2026 listener will win a valuable surprise party favor! For real! A generous gift spontaneously offered itself in the course of our exchange here through the medium of Yolanda’s gracious self in honor of my birthday. I’ll leave it at that. See? Cool things can happen when you listen to Mythic Mel – thank you all for being here! Yolanda Williams is an intuitive self-mastery mentor, a Certified Medical Reiki Master, facilitator of the Alchemy Circle community, host of Reiki Radio podcast, creator of the Energetic Alchemist Oracle Card deck and Founding Thought Leader of this Awakening Airwaves YouTube channel. She uses a blend of techniques to help clients and students achieve deeper connections with themselves, which facilitates new levels of self-awakening and reveals the dynamics of mind, body and energy. I know from seven years of working closely with her that Yolanda is a true Shihan. She holds transformative space for compassionate evolution, self-mastery and grounded transcendence. The essence of each card in her deck reflects the spirit of her work, and like Yolanda, this deck has become like sacred family to me. I talk with it nearly every day. AND, or rather, as you’ll hear in this interview, in a fascinating and amazing way, the deck created itself. Stay tuned to find out how. Instead of generating questions from my analytical mind, I consulted the deck herself to guide the questions for Yolanda and the interview flowed - both forward and backwards and through all time and dimension - from there. Of course there was a royal crimson carpet preamble before we got to the cards I pulled but it’s well worth the wait. The three cards that offered themselves uncovered some of the more poignant layers of Yolanda’s creation process and brought back the emotional and mental truths of what she was going through in the year the deck was gestating.  Listen in to find out about Yolanda’s own evolution as a card reader and her practical recommendations for anyone starting out.  Learn what Yolanda had to destroy in order to create, what she needed to protect in the process, and the backstory behind the creativity card itself.
