The goal of the Alchemy Guild is to support individuals in practical  and spiritual transformation. We seek to preserve the traditional teachings of the alchemists and provide legitimate sources of initiation into the Hermetic mysteries of alchemy. 

We provide networking and communication resources for modern alchemists, and support members in their psychological and spiritual transformations. We recommend legitimate sources of initiation into the mysteries of alchemy, and promote, support, and provide for the education and mentorship of future alchemists. We serve as a repository of alchemical knowledge – both ancient and modern – and release alchemical knowledge to the general public at appropriate times. We exchange techniques and discoveries in the ethical pursuit of alchemical arts in our quest to seek the quintessential role of humanity within the light of Nature.

The following are a few of the accomplishments we have achieved in fulfilling our charter:

Church of the Emerald Tablet is the spiritual heart and legal foundation of the Guild. It is a group of people who come together to worship in the Hermetic tradition, which is based on the Emerald Tablet and dates back to ancient Egypt. The tablet is a succinct summary of the Hermetic teachings and has been the foundation of alchemical philosophy for centuries. Personal initiation into the Hermetic Mysteries is the main focus of the activities of the church. Visit the Church at AzothAlchemy.org or EmeraldTablet.org.  

Paracelsus Award is presented by the Guild to independent websites to recognize outstanding public resources that elucidate Hermetic philosophy or apply alchemical methods to the arts and sciences. http://alchemyguild.memberlodge.org/awards.
