Contacting Alchemy Works

Welcome to Alchemy Works! We're Anthony and Aleia, partners in life and work, running this online metaphysical shop. Since 2000, Alchemy Works has specialized in beautiful and fragrant plants, primarily in the form of ritual incense and oil blends. We also offer seeds for plants traditionally associated with magic/k, herbs, resins and essential oils for incense making, inks, and more.

The best way to reach us is by emailing admin@alchemy-works.com. While we don't keep fixed business hours due to our hands-on work and the specific timing ritual preparations require, we aim to respond to emails within one business day. Please note that we don't typically monitor social media for order inquiries.

A Short History

Founded in 2000 by Harold Roth, author of The Witching Herbs and The Magic of the Sword of Moses, Alchemy Works started as an online shop with seven products and has since expanded to over 600. Harold entrusted Anthony to carry on his work before retiring in 2019, and Aleia joined in 2020. While Alchemy Works has never had a physical storefront, during the past 20+ years we have cultivated relationships with fellow spiritual seekers the world over, and we continue to do so.

Our Vocation

Alchemy Works is a true vocation, and our products reflect years of study and magical practice. Attending to the metaphysical (and the physical, too) is the bulk of this business—getting to know plant energies, working in alignment with the seasons, tending to our own spiritual practices, spending time in the natural world, participating in a magical community—all of this influences our work.

We take pride in the original formulae used to create our magic oils and incenses. Each one is ritually crafted by hand in small batches, taking time to achieve the desired magical qualities and aromas. We source high-quality herbs, oils, and resins from trusted suppliers, growing or wild-harvesting some ingredients ourselves. While many original recipes are Harold's, we are constantly experimenting with new blends to meet today's needs.

We know that we are deeply fortunate to align our outer work with our inner work through the vehicle of Alchemy Works, and that it is our loyal customers who make this possible. Thank you for giving us your business and for trusting us with your magical needs. While we do not sell spells, healings, or other workings, we do seek to provide beautiful, all-natural, and intentionally crafted ritual supplies. We also offer information, ingredients, and tools to help you create your own blends and ritual formulations.

About the Website

Our website includes information on plant folklore, magical uses, incense-making tips, and more. Though it may appear "retro", we see it as a space to slow down and dive into exploration. 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. We invite you to treat Alchemy-Works.com like a visit to an old occult shop, a quiet place where inspiration awaits.

Please note that all content is copyrighted. The information on this site has been gathered through in-depth research, practice, experimentation, and exploration over the course of decades. Although many online shops have selectively "sampled" our content over the past 20+ years without our consent, we ask you to honor the ongoing labor of love that providing this information entails by crediting Alchemy Works if you share what you learn here.

Wishing you well,
Anthony, Aleia, and the Cats of Alchemy Works
