Welcome to the written heart of The Wayward Alchemist: a growing library of lore entries, alchemy lessons, and workshop writings. Here, you’ll discover behind-the-scenes insights into metalwork, blacksmithing, and the forging of handmade jewelry and art, along with stories that expand our mythos and the philosophy of the alchemist.
Each article is a page torn from the alchemist’s own journal — blending folktales, philosophy, metalwork, and storytelling into lessons you can learn from, imagine through, and return to.
This is where knowledge is recorded, myths are mapped, and the fire of creation is kept alive. A space where alchemy and hand made creations meet imagination and craft.
