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Employing metaphysical aspects of rituals which have been superseded by standard religious practices, we strive to make every ritual and ceremonial experience unique and moving for the participants.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.
Weddings and Union Ceremonies
We offer unique and memorable services for those parties seeking to join together in the bonds of matrimony and lasting fellowships.
Our ceremonies are performed by fully ordained ministers in an non-denominational, non traditional manner. We can incorporate any component of any ceremony you desire in order to make your ceremony a special one.
All of our union ceremonies include a blood union, a resurrection of ancient practice which can lend a more committed ambience to your ceremony, combining the very life essences of those about to commit to each other. This is done via a conduit of conjunction with the candle waxes used in the ceremony. For those not interested in blood rite ceremonies we do offer alternatives upon request.
Choose from one of the below standard services we offer, or we can custom create a service especially for you.
Unions by the Four Elements:
We offer unions by each of the elements to those who desire a closer bond to the terrestrial world.
- Earth - This ceremony draws up the eternal balance in nature, and provides the stability for a foundation in a union which would grow like the ancient forests: strong, stable and secure.
- Air – This ceremony calls upon the ever changing currents of air to bring and help hold the couple together through anything, that through their union they may overcome all obstacles which would threaten their partnership.
- Fire - This ceremony ensures that passion and love will ever burn, to bring together their hearts, their bodies, their minds, and their spirits, to create a spark which will burn forever as their creation.
- Water - This ceremony provides that love will always flow, and the union will endure like the waters which move even the mountains to their lowest points.
- Unions of the Four Elements - These ceremonies, through the unity of the four elements, allow that the union will last eternal as the four elements in their regions are eternal, and come together to create all of nature. That what is offered forth and wrought together shall be forever.
Unions by Perspective:
The perspective aspects of darkness, light and the inbetween states are called upon in these unions.
- Dark - This ceremony provides that in darkness the couple will remain perceptive and balanced, finding that even in the night of their lives they are unified, and in the dark they will be their own flames, eternally bound by their love and in the Dark fire.
- Light - This ceremony ensures that no matter the obstacle which stands in the way of this couple, it will be burned away by the light of the relationship. That this ceremony draws out the inner celestial fire so the couple is bound by the Light fire.
- Shadow - When there is shadow there is balance between the natures of things. Each in their active and receptive states. This ceremony balances out those internal natures of the individuals seeking to unify and balance their life, as well as exist in balance to create anew what they will from their union.
Soul Bonds:
These ceremonies bond the souls together entwining both Karma and the lives of those who would bring themselves together in union.
- The Blessing of the Fates - This ceremony evokes the spirits of the Greek Fates to entwine the life threads of those who would seek union.
- The Celestial Bonds - This ceremony opens the seven celestial gates and unfies the pair in a balance that they will be bound together by all the virtues of the seven planetary spheres.
