Hello!
I am a life-long chaos witch and tarot practitioner residing in Colorado. I created Alchemy Academy with a simple goal of sharing my knowledge of the esoteric arts with others. Through fostering a sense of community among like-minded individuals, I hope class attendees leave with a stronger connection to their practice.A little about my background: I’ve been practicing since childhood. My love of the occult began with an ordinary deck of tarot cards (one I still use to this day). Thanks to my natural sense of curiosity, I have been researching the occult for most of my life via everything I can get my hands on: books, historical tours, grimoires, and then some.Today, I still spend an ample amount of my free time learning as much as I can, which is how the Alchemy Academy evolved: knowledge is power; why not share the wealth? As a chaos witch, my practice is just that: a seemingly “chaotic” collection of rituals and tools stemming from every avenue of spirituality. At the very least, I want to give Alchemy Academy students the opportunity to establish a sense of self in a safe environment, regardless of the nuances of their practice.To be able to contour your life through magick is a blessing that most already understand.To teach others how to leverage their energy to create such change in their own lives is how you take it to the next level.Interested in what Krystle’s been up to lately?
