Alchemy Works is a metaphysical supply shop for practicing mystics, kabbalists, pagans, witches, occultists, spiritual seekers, and those who enjoy unique and beautiful plants, natural fragrances, and hand-compounded incenses and oils. Founded in 2000, Alchemy Works has always been a small, owner-operated business. Every one of the 500+ products we sell is treated with care and attention. Whether you practice one of the many mystical traditions that span our globe, or simply enjoy seeds, herbs, and wonderful scents, we trust that you will find something of interest here. We make all of our magic oils, incenses, inks, and essences by hand within our consecrated ritual space. We pay attention to seasonal, planetary, astrological, and other metaphysical influences, as well as to our own states of mind while we are preparing them. We understand that intention is a crucial component of practice, so tending to our own spiritual lives is also an integral part of our work. The formulations you will find here are based upon personal recipes or on historically accurate formulae that have been gathered through researching works like the Ebers papyrus or Dioscorides' Materia Medica. We grow or wild harvest some of the seeds that we offer, and we take great care when choosing suppliers for those that we do not grow or gather ourselves. ![]() Alchemy Works does not offer readings, nor do we sell spells, healings, or any other workings. Our site has been designed to provide you with information, supplies, and tools that can assist in your own practice. We encourage you to experiment with creating your own blends and ritual formulations, and we offer our herbs, resins, and essential oils for this purpose. Though we take great pride in formulating our magic oils, incenses, and other supplies, ultimately it is up to you to do the work. Our website offers a wealth of information including folklore, magical and ritual uses of herbs, instructions for growing a magical garden, tips on incense-making, which plants are linked to which planets or aspects of the divine, and more. The Resources links can show you paths to further develop your wortcunning. In an "attention economy" like ours, where distraction drives revenue (every click is a fresh opportunity to advertise) we like to think of our site as a type of resistance. Yes it's old and cluncky with a lot of text—some of our patrons kindly call it "retro"—but it is also an opportunity to slow down, stay a while, and get in touch with what inspires you. We invite you to to treat this site as a journey back to simpler times, to the dimly-lit occult shop on the corner where you felt seen and you belonged, or a beloved used bookstore piled high with dust and potential. If you can't find something, try the search functionality or peruse the index pages (accessible from green buttons at the top of each screen). Though it is old, Alchemy-Works.com is a treasure trove of valuable information that has aided many a practitioner to deepen along their own unique path (whether or not they made a purchase!). We sincerely hope it will do the same for you. Please note that all text on this site is copyrighted. The information contained here has been gathered through in-depth research, practice, experimentation, and exploration over the course of decades. We (Harold, Anthony and Aleia) ask you to honor the ongoing labor of love that providing this information entails by crediting Alchemy Works when you refer to what you have learned here, and by not reproducing anything from this site without our explicit permission.
