The Guild presents lectures and workshops, as well as an annual Alchemy Conference, which members help plan through our Conference Vision Survey. The Guild also publishes the Alchemy Journal and certifies schools and instructors in alchemy in the Alchemy Home Study Program. many of our members teach traditional as well as modern forms of alchemy.
