What is The Alchemist’s Salon?

Hi, I’m Kristina, the creatrix of The Alchemist’s Salon. I started this queer, witchy, pop-up bookstore in 2025 as a love letter to my community. As a pansexual, pagan woman in a pretty conservative area, I wanted to create a place where queer folks and spiritually alternative people (like me) feel seen, safe, and celebrated. This shop is my way of building the kind of space I always wished existed. A space filled with stories, magic, and belonging.
