Here’s a set of Photoshop & GIMP brushes composed of various alchemical (alchemy) symbols, all as vectors. These are all very high resolution, about 2000 pixels in size.
These are made up of alchemical symbols for weights and measurements, containers, Spirits (or elements), seasons, and processes.
If you’re looking for the symbols for the various materials used in alchemy, check out our Alchemy Vectors II Brush set.

Thanks, you’re so talented.
Stephanie! Thank you sooo much for these. I have been looking for exactly these types of brushes just in the last week. I have been having a ball over on your Flickr website. Thanks so much for that also. I have become a Flickr addict. And your brushes make it so easy to play over there with my photoshop. Thank you again for all the wonderful brushes. You’re terrific.

Found you for the first time today. I will be back!!!!
Vector? Not really.
@xAronx: No, they’re called vectors because the original ones that I made were vectors. These are BRUSHES, so they cannot be vectors, per se – it’s just a “vector-like design”. But, that’s a bit too wordy. ;)
You are awesome! THANKS!
This is absolutely great, just what I needed at the right time and of course I will credit you in any work I produce using your brushes. Many Thanks
Great!!!!!!!! i will be waiting for the nex brush set
Just wanted to say thank you for sharing your work,
They have been an inspiration to me. :)
I have one word for you: Amazing. These have to be the best resources I’ve found for Photoshop. I overuse your brushes. They’re just LOVELY! :) Thanks so much for providing them for free downloads!
Wow. These are amazing!
I have hopes for the future.
Wow, all of these are amazing!
Is there any way to find out what each of the symbols mean? Do you have a key of some sort? Mainly so I know where to put them to fit a theme. For example, if I’m making an ice dragon, I don’t want to accidentally put a fire symbol near it.
Mouse over the brush in the brush palette and hover. The name of the brush is what the symbol is called or means, and if you need to know further about it, that’s the word you can use to look it up. :)
does it cost money?
No, they’re free to use as long as you credit me alongside their usage. Otherwise, you’ll need a license, yes. You can read my terms of use by clicking on “Terms of Use” in my sidebar, or here: http://www.obsidiandawn.com/terms-of-use
Wow. This is really beautiful! You are a really great artist. More power! :D
