Welcome to Of Alchemy, an esoteric apothecary nestled in the heart of South Holland, The Netherlands, where Andrea specializes in crafting ritual oils, candles, and tools imbued with the essence of ancient wisdom and modern expertise.
Founded by Andrea, sole proprietor and master creator, Of Alchemy first took root in late 2016 amidst the vibrant energy of Los Angeles, California, USA. Initially focusing on signature sparkling candles, handmade tools, incense, and herbal formulae, our shop has since blossomed to encompass a diverse array of ritual implements and occult decor sourced from talented artisans worldwide, with a special emphasis on the rich tradition.
Andrea's journey into the Western Mystery tradition began at 22 teachings school of hermetic arts, re-igniting a passion for ritual that continues to flourish. Alongside her spiritual studies, she has embarked on various apprenticeships, delving deeply into the realms of natural perfumery, historic perfumery, wortcunning, and the sacred art of incense crafting. Complementing these pursuits, Andrea has pursued formal training in certified crystal healing and attained title of Reiki Master.
At the core of Andrea's practice lies a profound understanding of the transformative power of scent. Believing that fragrance serves as a bridge between the material and spiritual realms, she crafts each olfactory creation with meticulous care, infusing it with the potential to evoke memories, connect with ancestral wisdom, and commune with the divine. In ritual settings, the offering of scent takes precedence, symbolizing a sacred exchange between practitioner and spirit, and fostering harmonious interactions within the sacred space. Grounded in ancient tradition yet attuned to the needs of modern seekers, Of Alchemy honors the timeless role of herbs, oils, and resins in forging profound connections between humanity and the numinous.
It is here, under my stewardship, every creation is infused with intention, reverence, and a commitment to supporting the sacred journey of each individual who crosses our threshold.
