The Seattle Metaphysical Library (legally known as the AS-YOU-LIKE-IT Library) was established in Seattle, WA in 1961. We have grown over the past four decades to hold over 13,000 books plus many hundreds of audio and video tapes, CDs, DVDs, magazines and newspaper clippings on a variety of metaphysical and spiritual topics, as well as material selected help remove the Veil of Maya - the veil of illusion - from our eyes.

We are a non-affiliated, non-profit resource center dedicated to personal transformation and evolving global consciousness by providing access to metaphysical, transdimensional, and unusual material.

We are also open by appointment and happenstance.  As always, it is a good idea to call ahead if you are making a special trip.

Remember, if you are making a special trip or traveling a long distance to visit us, please call first.  We are all volunteers, and sometimes it happens that we cannot be there as scheduled.

Astrological oils are essential oils and tinctureschosen by astrological properties infused in a base of pure jojoba oil. These were formulated, prepared and energetically charged by the hand of a master astrologer.

We have both standard oils, which are formulated for specific astrological features of the planets, and also specific oils, including Mercury Retrograde, Saturn Returns, Sun and Moon.

CALL FOR VOLUNTEERS - We are always looking for reliable volunteers. Meet other people with the same esoteric interests that you have.  The Library has over 12,000 books, and they need to stay organized by category - volunteering is a great way to see what the Library has to offer. We also need help with publicity and fundraising. E-mail us or stop by if interested.

Book Sale
We are a library, not a bookstore. We occassionally sell a few books which have been donated and will not fit in our small space. Stop by and browse, we have some great titles available right now, and they are all very reasonably priced.

Hours: We will now be closed on Mondays except for private meetings.
Our regular work meetings alternate every other Thursday evening, starting at 7 pm. This is a good opportunity to meet the volunteers in one place, to put forth suggestions and offer help.
