What do I mix together, and how do I know if I am doing it right? Everything comes up fine on the first ingredient list, but nothing can mix with it (the second ingredient slot)...
Do I go to a shop?
Which one?
Do I get special training?
Where?
I would love to be an alchemist, but damn. I am really having a blocky time learning/practicing/performing this alchemy thing...

Yeah, at least one aspect has to be the same. As a novice alchemist, you only SEE one aspect, so the two have to have the same primary aspect (night-eye, for instance). As you gain skill, you see more aspects for each ingredient and can mix a greater assortment of potions. You can also use the "See All" button or whatever to make two pairs, each with different matches, to increase the combinations within a potion. For example:
Bonemeal and Ironwood Nuts both have Resist Fire
Crabmeat and Lettuce both have Fire Shield (not right at the beginning of alchemy, but they do)
You can mix one of each to get the combined Resist Fire and Fire Shield
Eh, that's a bad example at any rate, because they also have common aspects (damage fatigue I think)... but you get the point. Now, you could do the same with only three ingredients if one had both Fire Shield AND Resist Fire, such as Dragon's Tongue.
