The Alchemy Guild is a group of alchemists from around the
world who come together to exchange views, news, and research in all forms
of practical and spiritual alchemy. The present Guild was formed by a
confederation of practicing alchemists who trace their lineage back to Wilhelm
von Rosenberg, who founded the original "Alchymie Cech" (or
"Alchimie Gilde") in 1576 in a small town between Prague and
Vienna.
In 1968, the renewed Guild opened an office in Vienna, Austria,
and in 1996, the headquaters of the Guild moved to the United
States. Today, the Guild has members in 23 nations with new offices being set
up in Australia and India, as well as dozens of local chapters throughout
the world.
According to its
charter, the purpose and goals of this non-profit organization are as follows:
- To serve as a repository of alchemical
knowledge both ancient and modern.
- To
support Guild members in their practical and spiritual work in alchemy.
- To provide a forum for exchange of new
techniques and discoveries in alchemy.
- To release alchemical knowledge to the general
public at appropriate times.
The Guild presents an annual Alchemy Conference and other lectures, organizes tours, and holds workshops around the world. The Guild also publishes the Alchemy Journal and many of our members teach traditional as well as modern forms of alchemy.
The Alchemy Guild oversees the release
of alchemical research and maintains an extensive Archives
of ancient alchemical texts, original drawings and engravings, rare and
unpublished books, alchemical experiments and secret formulae, and private
research papers from modern alchemists. The Guild Archives are the largest
collection of its kind in the world at over 40 gigabytes of information.
In our private Online
Lodge, members can find special groups suited to their
interests, trade alchemical insights and secrets in the member's
forum, write personal blogs to share with other members, keep track of
alchemical events, connect with local chapters and network with other
members, view the member directory, join affiliate programs, receive special
discounts and offers, review volunteer and job opportunities, access the
Archives, and much more! (You must first log-in as a member for the doorway to
