Wild Alchemy is a multi-sensory, augmented-reality journal from a global collective of artists, academic researchers and occult practitioners, whose transdisciplinary practice explores nature, science and esoterica at the intersection of plants, planets and people.

The classical elements of earth, fire, water, air and aether provide a lens through which to investigate how both we place ourselves, and are placed, within our environment. These fundamental forces exist in the physical and non-physical worlds; the seen and unseen. In becoming apprentices to the wild and integrating the ancient wisdom and practices of our ancestors, we look towards our past in order to guide our future. We take up the macro-microcosmic vision of the Hermetic axiom ‘as above, so below’ – that everything in the universe is interrelated, nothing exists in isolation. By observing this phenomenon, we are able to work towards diffusing the myth of separation.
