Entry No. 3 — the Chicago file — filed under: witchy

Alchemy Arts

Open since 1989, Alchemy Arts bills itself as Chicago's most complete occult and metaphysical supply store, and the inventory backs it up: hundreds of herbs, roots and resins, custom-blended oils, hoodoo curios, and a deep wall of new, used and rare occult books. It doubles as a community hub for pagan and occult lectures and classes. The congregational Wiccan group Center of the Elemental Spirit gathers here for ritual after the new and full moons.

The move: Pick out herbs and an oil blend for a small home altar, then check the class calendar for a paired tarot or spellcraft session.

📍 Before you go Public moon-cycle rituals are run by Center of the Elemental Spirit on Sundays after the new and full moons; check their schedule before going for that.
