Humun Design readings, classes and more
A cozy haven for questing souls and tea-time philosophers, perched at the intersection of science and magic. Rebecca Jolli, the Jolly Alchemist, helps you unlock the extraordinary potential already wired into you, so you can finally meet yourself, and fall in love with what you find.
The daily transit recordings on the @JollyAlchemy YouTube channel began with a cycle that opened at Gate 53, New Beginnings: a daily neutrino weather report with tidbits of Humun Design along the way. These energies come around again, so the 2025 recordings are still a free grounding in the basics, complete with daily theme songs and the occasional jolly scarf.
Here at Jolly Alchemy, we specialize in elevating spirits and dispelling those nagging fears that flit about like wayward butterflies. Below is how the ever-enthusiastic Rebecca Jolli can guide you on your journey through the enchanting tapestry of life. After all, every grand adventure begins with a single step, or perhaps a spirited leap into the unknown!
The world is at the cusp of a radical evolutionary shift. The hard sciences are finding that the soft ones held an important piece of the puzzle, and humunity is growing into a new skin, throwing off the sameness of past centuries and rediscovering the power of focused intent. It looks a lot like alchemy: base metal into gold, except the gold has been hidden in our own depths all along, like Dorothy wearing the shoes of her deliverance the whole way down the yellow brick road. The shift is coming either way, and a little wisdom can help it arrive gently. Jolly Alchemy helps folks use the magic inside us all to raise our vibrations, reduce the entropy of our fear-based beliefs, and grow into self-loving humuns that are ready to birth our new global cycle. To that end, the Jolly Alchemist keeps a toolbox of handy modalities:
Ra Uru Hu's system, carried forward: a chart of how your energy actually moves, and which parts of you are the seed itself and which are someone else's trellis. Your chart is the seed packet you arrived with. What grows from there is up to you and the weather.
A clever bit of basic wizardry that enlists the subconscious to rummage through emotional baggage and release what is ready to go.
A birth date is all it takes. This fascinating, simple system shows your persunality, what you need when you're overwhelmed, and the shape of your life path.
Two more lenses show up again and again in Rebecca's teaching—not offered as sessions of their own, but woven through everything else:
A practical approach to structuring the world for the benefit of all life: a harmonious ecosystem, much like a well-rehearsed orchestra, but with more worms and fewer violins.
Suggests the universe is stranger than anyone imagines: time to face our fears, abandon survival strategies based on fear, and embrace love for all humuns and life.
There is a lot of free Humun Design information out there, and starting with it saves a lot of money. A free account at 64keys.com shows your own bodygraph and the rudiments of your design (no, they don't sponsor Rebecca ... yet 😉). The 2025 neutrino weather reports on YouTube@JollyAlchemy are a free grounding in the basics too. Rebecca meets you wherever you are on your Humun Design journey, but she has a soft spot for seasoned explorers who have done the free basics.
Sessions run at least an hour, so an hour and a half is a good amount of time to set aside. However long it runs, the price stays the same.
Short on pennies? Ask about a trade. Getting you the information you want matters most, and there does need to be an energy exchange, though it doesn't have to be shekels or drachma. Special event discounts, too.
The best place to begin is after you've found the curious areas where the information seems not to resonate. These are stumbling blocks, where you've clicked on one of those confusing numbers, hoping to get some persunal insight, and what you find instead is a puzzle: a description that sounds nothing like you. Rebecca's story about her surprising 5th gate activation, further down this page, is a great example of this phenomenon. These descriptions that don't resonate 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!
After a first reading, Rebecca also offers in-depth readings and long-term coaching. A few of the in-depth options:
Rebecca is available for sessions both in persun and remotely.
New!!Humun Design can give Birthday Readings! It's called a Solar Return Reading: a peek at the year ahead, the energy you'll be feeling and the issues that may present themselves for you to explore. The new year's energy starts to arrive about three months before the birthday itself, so a birthday reading is best given three months ahead. It makes a genuinely useful birthday gift, at $140.
This video preview shows how a Birthday Reading can illuminate the year ahead. Ask your Jolly Alchemist about an appointment at info@jollyalchemy.com.
A joint Humun Design reading for partners, friends or family is also $140 and runs at least an hour, with the same trades and special event discounts. It works best once each persun knows their own chart, from individual sessions or the free resources above. This is where we start to explore how Humun Design gets really freaky: in the interpersunal interactions!
Jolly Alchemy is set to unveil classes and workshops as soon as there is sufficient interest. Rebecca can put a class or workshop together in very little time, so suggestions are welcome: a deep dive into Profiles, Nodes or Transits, Humun Design Parenting, Humun Design Dating, or whatever is calling to you. Send ideas and questions to info@jollyalchemy.com.
A free preview of the Beginning Humun Design class is on YouTube, and recordings of the full class are available by email.
Humun Design is a treasure map of you. From a birth date, time and place it draws a bodygraph: a chart of how your energy actually moves, which parts of you are intrinsic (the seed itself) and which are conditioning you picked up along the way: paths you grew along that were not yours, like someone else's trellis.
It blends the I Ching, astrology, the chakra system and the Kabbalah with biology and quantum physics into one practical diagram. Your chart is the seed packet you arrived with: the variety, the light it leans toward, the water it wants, the season it wakes up in. What grows from there is up to you and the weather.
One of five energy types, each with its own way of moving through the world.
The simplest way to enter situations, so life gets easier instead of harder.
Where the body makes good decisions, so the head no longer has to do it alone.
The life force of the planet. Builders have a steady engine for the work that lights them up, and a telltale gut “uh-huh” or “un-uh” that knows the answer before the mind does.
Builders with a turbo. Many passions, fast feet and a knack for skipping steps. Happiest juggling several things that all feel like a yes.
Here to start things. Initiators move first and make their own waves, and they keep the peace by letting people know what is coming before it arrives.
The guides. Coordinators see deeply into other people and systems. Their wisdom lands best when it is asked for, and resting is part of the job.
The rare mirrors, about one in a hundred. Observers sample the energy around them and reflect back the health of their community. Big decisions ripen over at least a full 28-day moon.
Most of the ways we were taught to decide, hustle and belong were designed for capitalist consumer culture, not for real humuns. Humun Design is a slow, kind process of deconditioning: noticing the borrowed habits, setting them down, and getting reacquainted with the spark you came in with. Buckle up, dear Consciousness Explorer.
Diving into Humun Design? Jolly collaborations with powerful friends (Gate 54, Ambition) have resulted in a cheat sheet for Jolly Alchemy’s Foundational Humun Design Concepts! This is a great resource for visual learners and those interested in explaining the basics of Humun Design to others. It’s a sturdy, laminated (ie. for you 3rd line beings, weather and accident-resistant) copy of the most important things to know. I used to draw these concepts out on napkins for folks, and my humble bumbles are your opportunity! Small copies $25, Large Copies $40 (email info@jollyalchemy.com to order).
The Emotion Code is an important tool in the toolkit for helping humuns navigate the
emotional labyrinth we all have inside ourselves. But why, you may ask, do we all harbor these hidden, trapped
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 Rebecca
heartily recommends 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, Rebecca's all in favor of muscle testing,
but the reason it hasn’t achieved widespread fame, in her humble opinion, 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 Rebecca believes 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 she does.
Jolly Alchemy offers a delightful array of magnetic and non-magnetic pendulums, each hand-crafted from polymer clay in one-of-a-kind designs. The 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, Rebecca creates 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 dovetails nicely with Humun Design, as both have a large basis in the wisdom of the I Ching. There are many versions of Eastern Astrology; Rebecca's is a 9-Ki system, with nine basic variations, or elements: one water, one fire, two woods, two metals and three earths.
bright spark · passionate · seen from afar
nurturing · receptive · the steady helper
lake shimmer · joyful · charming talker
heaven’s steel · principled · natural leader
deep feeling · intuitive · finds a way through
mountain · still and steady · quiet renewal
thunder sprout · bold starts · fresh push
bamboo · flexible and changeable · gentle wind
the center · magnetic · gathers and transforms
Like the I Ching hexagrams, the elements sit around a ring, with Vortex Earth at its center. The ring explains resonances and dissonances between the elements, and how each one affects the others.
Basic information from a Chinese Astrology reading falls into three categories: how we tend to act and feel in our basic persunalities, how we tend to act and feel under stress, and the direction our lives head when we do the work to grow up. A reading can also show:
Hand Reading is the newest tool at Jolly Alchemy, offered only in live sessions. If you have always wondered what the lines in your hands say, researchers are finding that those lines mirror the brain's own wiring, so your hands are a map of how your brain works.
An in-depth reading looks at your particular function in life, your romantic attachment style, how your brain works and how your energy runs, where it gets blocked, and the gifts you came in with. Your hands also show your life path and purpose in the same broad strokes as Chinese Astrology, from a slightly different angle that adds its own details. And yes, the ink roller makes for delightfully messy fun.
Rebecca believes that one of the most important metrics of a teacher is that they are willing to share their own information and join in the learning process. To that end, here is Rebecca's chart: a 3/5 Specialist (Manifesting Generator) with Sacral authority, on the Right Angle Cross of Explanation (43/23 | 4/49).
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 persunality 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.
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 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—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 and what we’re supposed to be doing with our lives. By the time we’re 60 or 70, we’re usually just 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.
A new stage of humun development is arriving, and meeting it calls for this knowledge far earlier than 60 or 70. The ideal is as soon as possible, from day one. Most of us find it as adults, already well conditioned, and that is still early enough: the sooner we gather this information and start using it, the sooner we see a path out of the mental cages that have been stunting our growth as humuns for centuries, and the more ready we are for what comes next.
My 5th Gate activation is the surprising one mentioned
up in Individual Sessions: a spot in my chart that, when I first saw it, didn't seem right at all.
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 piece of definition.
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—and I am in no way patient, or regulated, 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, the love of humunity in all its wild fluctuations.
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. Once I started to see that, other rituals started to make themselves known to me as well—getting out the door, getting into bed, cleaning the kitchen. Now I know that my whole life is meant as a ritual, and I’m learning more about myself by the examination of my rituals and what they mean for me.
Looking back, my discovery of the meaning of just one activation I had totally missed was enough to toss my previous understandings totally upside-down. At 53, I feel much more like myself than I did before discovering that the 5th gate was a significant part of my living awareness.
Humun Design is no quick fix. Ra put a number on deconditioning, seven years, so that nobody would mistake seeing their chart for living it. Deconditioning means doing your homework: sitting with each activation and watching yourself do the things the chart says you do, line upon line, for years. The seven is a marker for the long view, borrowed from the folk idea that the body renews itself every seven years, and not a finish line: Ra is remembered saying he was still deconditioning in his third cycle. It is a life process.
Humun Design is also no therapy. What a chart shows can point to subjects worth taking into therapy, or to the stressors and places where life doesn't quite work: it helps identify them, understand why they happen, and see where mending can start. A chart fixes nothing just by being looked at; the change comes from engaging in the study and the experiment. None of it is meant to be swallowed whole. It is one big experiment, and the experimenting starts with the first look.
