Alchemy Works is a metaphysical supply shop serving spiritual seekers of all kinds. Since 2000, they’ve been a small, owner-operated business focused on offering ritual supplies and carefully selected botanical ingredients. Many of their products have roots in ancient and modern Earth-based spiritual practices, primarily centered on Western witchcraft, ritual magic, and sorcery traditions. They’re also gradually expanding to include items for Buddhist practitioners.
They handcraft their magic oils, incenses, inks, and essences in a consecrated ritual space, paying close attention to seasonal, planetary, and astrological influences. Their recipes are based on personal blends or historically accurate formulas drawn from sources like the Ebers Papyrus, Agrippa’s Three Books, and Dioscorides’ Materia Medica.

Their ritually crafted products contain no artificial components or synthetic chemicals. They only use high-quality, ethically sourced materials, and only sell items that meet their own high standards for ritual practice.

Dark North Craft & Curio is a magickal vintage shop curated by Kate Moeller (she/her).

Founded in 2018, Dark North combines Kate’s love of antiques, witchcraft, Gothic aesthetic, handmade goods and romance. An artist, jewelry maker, and collector, Kate travels to dusty corners of New England to dig for hidden and forgotten treasures for her shop. Finding beautiful pieces that can be repurposed into altar tools, often that are very old, or charmingly worn, ensures each piece is special and has a unique energy.

In a world where everything is fast, shiny and disposable, Dark North’s mission is to bring new life to the old, and get her pieces in the hands of people who appreciate the beauty of something from another time.Ornate decor, delicate handmade trinkets, crystal balls, candelabras, cauldrons, artwork and so much more are what you can expect to see from Dark North.
