Welcome!
Thanks for stopping by and spending some of your precious time here.
I'm Kristina, The Untamed Alchemist. I'm a distiller, farmer, and formulator enchanted by nature and fascinated by Mother Earth chemistry—this is my personal blog.
These pages celebrate my passion for formulating natural botanical skincare and herbal/aromatic remedies (associated with my business, Untamed Alchemy®) and my unending love of gardening, cooking, knitting, stitching, sewing, and otherwise engaging my hands.
As a storyteller and diarist with a background in archetypes, mythology, magic, folklore, ceremony, and liberation theology, I'm also prone to making connections and sharing contemplative musings about my experiences with aromatics, herbs, oils, food, nature, etc. and the lore that informs my relationship with them.
These pages began more than a decade ago as a safe, secret place to share my wonder and awe for the world. Though challenges and choices kept me away for some time, I'm delighted to be back with fresh perspective (Welcome, AuDHD diagnosis! Hello, menopause!) and a juicy, fun life to share.
