ABOUT THE GROUP

This is the local chapter of the International Alchemy Guild located in Sacramento, California. We come together to study practical and spiritual alchemy, personal transformation, spirituality, and Hermetic traditions like Roscrucians, kabbalah, tarot, magick, and Egyptian.

The leader of the local chapter is Dennis William Hauck, a practicing alchemist, bestselling author, popular lecturer, and respected consultant. More info on him can be found at http://www.DWHauck.com .

The Guild is a group of alchemists from around the world who come together to exchange views, news, and research in all forms of practical and spiritual alchemy. The present Guild was formed by a confederation of practicing alchemists who trace their lineage back to Wilhelm von Rosenberg, who founded the original "Alchymie Cech" (or "Alchimie Gilde") in 1576 in a small town between Prague and Vienna.

In 1968, the renewed Guild opened an office in Vienna, Austria, and in 2000, the headquaters of the Guild moved to the United States. Today, the Guild has members in 23 nations with new offices being set up in Australia and India, as well as dozens of local chapters throughout the world.
According to its charter, the purpose and goals of this non-profit organization are as follows:

- To serve as a repository of alchemical knowledge both ancient and modern.
- To support Guild members in their practical and spiritual work in alchemy.
- To provide a forum for exchange of new techniques and discoveries in alchemy.
- To release alchemical knowledge to the general public at appropriate times.

The Guild presents the annual International Alchemy Conference (http://www.AlchemyConference.com ) and other lectures, organizes tours, and holds workshops around the world. The Guild also publishes the Alchemy Journal and supports the establishment of alchemy schools. Our members teach alchemy locally at Alchemy Schools and Workshops and through the Alchemy Home Study Program. Join our public networking site at MyAzoth.com or follow us on Twitter.
