The Alchemie Shoppe

Alchemie

Alchemy is the ancient philosophical, metaphysical, and practical science of spiritual transmutation - change of the self, change of substances, change of the spirit.

It is this change that the Alchemie Shoppe strives to embody.

We are a non-denominational faith-based organization based in Savannah, Georgia, which endeavors to return the ancient practices of ritual and ceremony to use in both everyday and pivotal circumstances.

Employing metaphysical aspects of rituals which have been superseded by standard religious practices, we strive to make every ritual and ceremonial experience unique and moving for the participants.

Our goal is to make your ritual experience a richer one, to transmute the everyday into the extraordinary.

Funerary Services

It is a fact of life that we all must pass. Our ceremonies of passing are those which aid not only the soul of the loved one on its journey through the worlds, but also assist the living in not grieving but to celebrating their loved one, so that their spirit and their essence is always remembered in a gracious and loving manner.

All of our funerals are based on the passing rites of the elements and celestial bodies. We can create a customized ceremony which includes those elements which were important to the individual in life. These ceremonies can include but are not limited to being performed in the body of the deceased, directly at the passing, or some time after on the anniversary of the passing, to solidify the memory in those whom the loved one left behind.

Below are our standard funerary services.

Elemental Ceremonies:

  • Earth – That which takes our body, and commends to its cycles the form we cast off as the vessel. We evoke the spirit of the earth to put the soul of the departed at peace with their surroundings and the world, as well as to help ease the sorrow of those who survive them.
  • Fire – That which consumes the body is evoked to become an undying flame in the hearts and minds of those left behind, as well as to assuage their spirit and be a calm warmth that washes over them, freeing them from the struggles of the world of flesh, that they will be reborn anew.
  • Water – That which is a part of our daily lives, and is our vital blood, that it may wash free the struggles of life, granting that the spirit shall flow eternally with their ancestors who have come before them, as well as be with those who survive them eternally as part of the greater cycle.
  • Air – That the life breath shall be given unto the world, wherein the natural breath shall breathe new life, so that its essence will grow and thrive in a new form, becoming part of the world once again.
  • The Four Elements – By each element we have an aspect of life. Each aspect is called upon in this ceremony to aid and take to peace that spirit which is commended unto it, that it shall be of the earth, air, fire and the waters eternally, part of the never ending cycle.

Celestial Ceremonies:

These works call upon the greater forces in creation to aid in the passing of the spirit from this world, and give to it a spiritual body where it can be taken to be in an Otherworld.

  • Tabula Rasa – This ceremony ensures that the soul will be granted a fresh slate upon its passing, allowing it a new fresh start in life. Also allowing any soul which passes with it, to be cleansed and purified from any and all taints which caused the passing in the first place.
  • Opening of the Way – This is what opens the gates of the seven spheres unto the other world. Again for those souls who have not developed training to have a chance at another incarnation.
  • Ascending the Way – This work is for those having passed on, who have developed their spiritual body that the gates may open for them, and they walk whichever path is meant for their development.
