How can Jolly Alchemy help?


In the bustling realm of Jolly Alchemy, the air is thick with the scent of herbal tea and the faint sound of enlightenment brewing. Here, individuals and couples embark on sessions designed for self-discovery, or at least a decent cup of chamomile. The Jolly Alchemist opens up her sewing box, stuffed full of helpful learning and healing modalities:

First, there’s Humun Design (Human Design, but better) an elaborate contraption that reveals one’s true essence—buried under layers of societal expectations like a stubborn potato in a garden of carrots. “It’s not about who you think you should be; it’s about who you’re electrically designed to be,” the practitioners explain, as if determining whether you’re a toaster or an ambitious kettle.

Next comes the Emotion Code, a clever bit of basic wizardry that enlists the subconscious to rummage through emotional baggage. “Heal enough,” they say, “and you might fill your potential, or at least find a cozy spot on the couch to contemplate existence.” The Emotion Code magic is only topped by The Body Code and The Belief Code, healing magic that moves from the leaves, through the trunk and into the root of emotional blockages.

Then there’s Permaculture, a practical approach to structuring the world for the benefit of all life. It’s about creating a harmonious ecosystem, much like a well-rehearsed orchestra, but with more worms and fewer violins.

And, of course, Quantum Physics suggests the universe is stranger than anyone imagines. “It’s time to face our fears and abandon survival strategies based on fear,” the enthusiasts declare. “Let’s embrace love for all humuns and life, which is quite ambitious considering how many can’t even love their neighbors’ cats.”

In the whimsical corridors of Jolly Alchemy, you discover that understanding yourself—and perhaps the universe—is less about finding answers and more about enjoying the delightful absurdity of the questions.

Current Offerings


Individual Sessions

Prepare yourself for an individual Humun Design Reading that lasts at least an hour, costing a modest $120—unless, of course, you possess a coupon, engage in a work trade, or happen to sign up during one of our metaphysical fair booths, where the air is thick with incense and the promise of satori.

For a typical first reading, the client has already amassed several hundred dollars’ worth of free information by signing up for a free account at 64keys.com. By this point, they’ve delved into the depths of their personal questions and identified those curious areas where the information seems to go on holiday, which, as it turns out, are the very spots where our work together begins. If it seems totally wrong for you (assuming we know your birth time) then it’s probably just exactly the right place to start digging!

The types of information a client can expect to receive in an initial session are:
     - Background/history on Human Design, or references to learn more about it
     - Type, Strategy and Authority...and what that means
     - An overview of channel roles, particular challenges of open centers, and a beginning explanation of how the body’s energy moves through the body graph
     - A beginning look at bridge gates, circuitry, profile, split charts, cross gates and life mission, and relevant symmetries, like whether or not the provocation saddle is present
     - A start at rectifying charts without known birth times
     - Time to answer specific questions, like optimal environment or how to achieve optimal digestion and include necessary amino acids indicated by the bodygraph

     Individual coaching sessions can also be focused on the Genius Report and the relevant business applications for Human Design. Rebecca is available for individual sessions both in-person and remotely.


Couples/Joint Sessions

 If you find yourself wishing to share a session with your partner, or perhaps trying to save a few coins by roping in a friend, brace yourself for a joint Humun Design Reading that lasts at least an hour and costs a mere $120—unless, of course, you possess a coupon, engage in a work trade, or happen to sign up during one of our metaphysical fair booths, where the air is thick with the scent of incense and the promise of cosmic revelations.

For a typical first partnership reading, the clients have already amassed several hundred dollars’ worth of free information about their personal charts by signing up for a free account at 64keys.com or by having individual sessions first. By this point, they’ve explored the depths of their personal questions and are ready to face relationship queries. This is where we start to explore how Humun Design gets really freaky—in the interpersunal interactions!

The types of information that clients can expect to receive in an initial joint reading are:
     - An overview of the individual charts and basic HD concepts
     - An examination of the interaction chart—how each persun will tend to feel when inside the aura of the other, and the differences between being together and apart
     - An identification of common ground, including shared roles, interests and energies
     - An exploration of attractions and frictions in the joint chart, so partners can accept themselves and the other rather than hoping for impossible changes
     - A discovery of collaborative potential within the relationship—what these two people can do together that neither can do alone.


Classes/Workshops

     Jolly Alchemy, that delightful bastion of wisdom and whimsy, is set to unveil a series of workshops toward the end of 2025, much to the anticipation of those who have been waiting with eager hearts and perhaps a slightly over-steeped cup of herbal tea. But fret not, for before that grand unveiling, a weekly virtual beginner’s class in Human Design will spring to life at the beginning of April. This is a virtual class, so newcomers are welcome, anytime. Leap in at your leisure, catch up, get live support and answers about what’s alive in you, like a floaty perpetually in your eye.

     The first class will be free, and subsequent classes will be discounted at $10 each.  If you have questions in the meantime, please contact Rebecca directly at info@jollyalchemy.com.

Humun Design


Humun Design is a rather splendid system that helps us navigate the labyrinthine journey to our true selves, illuminating the distinction between the parts of us that are intrinsic—like the unique flavor of a well-aged cheese—and those that are merely the result of outside conditioning forces, much like a painting that has been covered in spots by the brushstrokes of others.

However, let’s not mistake Humun Design for a “one and done” sort of endeavor. No, it’s more akin to a treasure map, intricately drawn and filled with symbols, guiding us through the complexities of our individuality in a concise code—think of it as a wiring harness for a race car, if you will.

As it turns out, we’re all race cars, each one custom-ordered and uniquely built, which means we require a bespoke design diagram to truly understand the mechanics of the human experience. That’s the beauty of Humun Design: it’s intricate enough to capture the rich tapestry of human individuality in exquisite detail, yet straightforward enough that we can begin to decipher the code with some vital clues right from the start, beginning with our energetic types. So, buckle up, dear reader, for an enlightening ride into the depths of your own design awaits!

Emotion Code


The Emotion Code, the Body Code, and the latest addition, the Belief Code, form a delightful toolkit for helping humans navigate the emotional labyrinth we all have buried deep within ourselves. But why, you may ask, do we all harbor these hidden emotions? Humun Design offers some intriguing insights into that conundrum, but to put it succinctly, emotions are a relatively recent upgrade for our avatars, and as anyone who’s ever tried to assemble flat-pack furniture knows, the effects of these emotions on our delicate systems can be nothing short of overwhelming—and occasionally catastrophic.

The Emotion Code and its companions are indeed helpful tools, and I heartily recommend them to anyone with feelings—so, everyone, really. However, there’s a slight hitch: this method requires each user to master the art of muscle testing. Now, I’m all in favor of muscle testing, but the reason it hasn’t achieved widespread fame, imo, is that it’s not exactly a walk in the park; there’s a rather sharp learning curve involved.

Bradley Nelson, the author of the Emotion Code, mentions in his courses that one can use a pendulum for muscle testing, but he doesn’t delve into the details or teach folks how to wield these mystical swinging devices. Naturally, he prefers to focus on the muscle testing techniques, which is all well and good, but I believe that showing people how to tap into the wisdom of the subconscious mind with a pendulum is much easier and requires far less commitment for beginners. So, that’s precisely what I do.

I offer a delightful array of magnetic and non-magnetic pendulums, each crafted from polymer clay in one-of-a-kind designs. The magnetic pendulums are particularly handy for locating trapped emotions, and the embedded magnets ensure that the same tool can also assist in releasing those pesky emotional blockages. Additionally, I create custom pendulums for dowsers and those who prefer their pendulums to be free of magnetism, because, after all, variety is the spice of life!

Chinese Astrology and Face Reading


     Chinese Astrology and Face Reading dovetail nicely with Human Design, as they both have a large basis in the wisdom of the IChing. Of course there are many versions of Eastern Astrology, but my version is a 9-ki system, which means that the system has 9 basic variations, or elements.
     These elements are:
1. Water
2. Soft Earth
3. Hard Wood
4. Soft Wood
5. Vortex Earth
6. Hard Metal
7. Soft Metal
8. Hard Earth
9. Fire
     So we end up with one water, one fire, two woods, two metals, and three earths. They can be written around a ring, just like the IChing hexagrams, and the ring model explains resonances and dissonances in the elements, as well as how they affect other elements.

      A Chinese Astrology reading is a curious affair, much like trying to decipher the intentions of a particularly enigmatic squirrel. It includes a face reading, since astrology can only sketch out the broad outlines of possibility. The reason for this is simple: when we stop engaging in our persunal work—or, as I sometimes put it, when we stop getting busy living and start perfecting the art of existential inertia—we can end up as broken as a clock that’s stuck reading 10:10. The path to health and happiness, however, tends to mirror the “destiny” path outlined in the astrological reading, much like how a well-trodden path in a garden leads to the most vibrant blooms.

Now, the record maintained by our faces is where the real intrigue lies, adding the necessary nuance to any Chinese Astrology reading. Our faces, while they broadly support the information from astrology, also reveal the results of our life’s escapades—like the faint scars of past adventures that tell tales of mischief and mayhem.

Take the ears, for instance. They can reveal the events of our childhood years (ages 1 to 12) that still echo through our lives, much like the persistent sound of a distant drum. These experiences can continue to impact us until we face and resolve them, much like how a particularly stubborn riddle will remain unsolved until someone finally decides to give it a good pondering. So, prepare for a reading that promises to be as enlightening as it is entertaining, with just the right amount of cosmic mischief sprinkled in!

strokes of personality trends—or what the Chinese charmingly refer to as “destiny.” I prefer to think in terms of, “If I’m doing my personal work in this life, what delightful detours will it lead me on?”
     Basic information from a Chinese Astrology reading falls into three categories: how we tend to act/feel in our basic personalities, how we tend to act/feel under stress, and the direction are lives will head if we are doing the work to grow up.
     Other information that can be seen from a Chinese Astrology reading:
- basic health issues
- yearly cycles that can help us understand our energy advice on when to take certain life steps like moving or starting new business
- advice for how our individual bodies can deal with stress
- upcoming deadlines for dealing with past issues

About Rebecca Jolli, the Jolly Alchemist


I was a 27 year-old mother of two before I figured out that the life I had planned for myself as a child was in no way suited to my actual personality and needs. I soon became a single mother of two, graduated from religion, and started educating myself for a life that included magic (as I termed it then). I discovered Richard Bach, Jane Roberts’ Seth, Heinlein’s “Stranger in a Strange Land”, Tarot, Chinese Astrology and Face Reading, Non-Violent Communication (NVC), Wayne Dyer, Eckhart Tolle, my own channeling adventures, and many magical co-incidences that started turning into ever more serendipitous synchronicities.

By the time I was finishing with raising kids, I discovered quantum physics (NASA physicist Tom Campbell explains it well), and was thrilled to find that all along my bizarre path I had been doing science as well as magic!  My journey has been characterized by the gift/burden of power-ups that western medicine wants to diagnose, but that I now understand as episodes of intense learning and experience. These “superpower” events give me a foreshadowing of abilities that some might call crazy or supernatural, but that I have come to see as giving me light on the dark path before us. I believe the world very much needs its shamans, and especially its shawimins, to lead us into the next phase of our world’s evolution. This new phase will be very much more about the inner experience than the community-building phase that we are seeing come to an end, and it is the facilitation of inner healing and growth that is my role in this avatar.

More thoughts on the Jolly Alchemy Approach


If Humun Design is an evolutionary life hack, then a persunalized Humun Design reading is when the rubber starts to hit the road, to show us how to hack our individual lives. That’s when we start to learn the specifics of what makes us not only unique, but lovable. It’s when we start to get a glimmer of who we could become when we grow up, no matter how old or young we are right now.

It’s possible that the single biggest obstacle to the flight of the humun soul is overcoming the messages of the conditioned world to the effect that we are less than totally awesome and wonderful. Most of us take those early negative messages straight to heart, and then struggle ever after with all of the resulting problems—not being able to find love in the world, being separated from the core of our true selves, and not knowing how to make good things happen for ourselves.

Historically, most of us have been forced by lack of knowledge to stumble around in the dark to find out who we are, how we can function optimally in the world, and what we’re supposed to be doing with our lives even if we could achieve optimization of our processes. By the time we’re 60 or 70, we’re usually starting to get a grip on the grown-up knowledge, usually just in time to stop caring, preferring to complain about our aches and pains. The learning curve is too steep—in a normal life there’s not enough time to reach a full understanding and enjoyment before the avatar is on a steep decline, and we’re too old to take advantage of accumulated wisdom.

That’s exactly why Humun Design has come to us now, at this critical stage of Humun development. Now is the time for us to start getting a lot smarter a lot faster so we can be fully prepared for the world changes that are coming, ready-or-not. It’s great news, actually. Instead of being afraid of the future, we can now easily see the path to freedom out of the mental cages that have been holding us and stunting our growth as humuns for several centuries now.

It starts with a basic reading. This will tell you the most important (though by no means the ONLY important) pieces of information. In Humun Design, we call this “Type, Strategy and Authority”. These are the essential pieces of information to give us power over our decision-making processes. How to make decisions that will be good for us is a critical skill, and it’s time to stop trusting our brains for making those important decisions, especially since modern neuroscience is now confirming that the brain is an excellent servant and a horrible master.

Then, once our decisions are on track to help us actually evolve toward our highest purposes, we know enough to start experimenting with the information...is it useful? Does it help us understand how we function best in the world, and does it help us understand the rest of the world? We aren’t meant to know it all yet, but we can certainly start the process by watching ourselves do it wrong and see the consequences in a new light as we begin to consider lasting changes, and as we begin to see that making good decisions for our bodies tends to end well for our minds, too.

From there, subsequent readings can help us in the process of falling in love with ourselves, because we can begin to see the nuance of exactly how and why we are the way we are, and how to flip the script in the places where we’ve invested too much energy in the wrong directions.

For example, I considered my life to be one of self-examination and concentration on persunal evolution, but when I discovered Humun Design, I immediately found a spot glaring out at me. It felt wrong, it felt almost offensive to be stuck with this pieced of definition. Since I am one of those who don’t know their birth time within the birth day, I searched the entire day for a time in which this piece of definition, an activation in the 5th gate, did not exist, to no avail.

No matter when I was born in the day, I had this 5th gate activation. The 5th gate is called the gate of waiting. It’s the gate of patience, of ritual, of regulated action. There wasn’t a description that made it any nicer or easier for me to swallow. I could see some sense behind every single activation but that one—I am in no way patient, or regulated and I have a downright aversion to rituals, so what gives? This is how I discovered how invasive the Notself can get. I had much more of an identification with the gate at the other end of the channel, the 15th gate. This is the love of humunity in all its wild fluctuations and permutations. That 15th gate is where I felt I belonged, and I had a hard time truly accepting the information in Humun Design until I lived with it over time. Then I started to see, slowly, where ritual had hidden in my life, waiting to be discovered.

One day, I noticed that every time I bathe, I have a very specific process that I follow to get everything done in the proper order...ho ho ho, it was a ritual I had developed for bathing, and once I started to see that, then other rituals started to make themselves known to me as well. There was a ritual for getting everything organized to get out the door, and another for making sure things were organized properly upon my return. There was a ritual for getting into bed, for cleaning the kitchen...there was a ritual for everything, I noticed, and for me the rituals had just blended into what I called life so that I didn’t even notice what I was doing. Now I know that my whole life is meant as a ritual, that every placement of my foot is theoretically best done in one particular way, and I’m learning more about myself and my life’s purpose by the examination of my rituals and what they mean for me.

Looking back, I could say that my discovery of the meaning of just one activation that I had totally missed in my persunal explorations was enough to toss my previous understandings totally upside-down. At 52, I feel much more like myself than I did before discovering that the activation of the 5th gate was supposed to be a significant part of my living awareness.

Perhaps this is a good time to mention that Humun Design is no quick fix. Our bodies take seven years to renew each cell, and that is what it takes to fully embody the new knowledge that Humun Design gives us—seven full years of active experimentation. That’s not “oh, it’s been 7 years since I had a reading...” but “yeah, I’ve been studying my design, and I’m finally feeling like I have a grasp on what the codes mean for me in my life, and how I’ve become more relaxed with knowing how to use my persunal strategy for my own benefit.”
