ABOUT ALCHEMYXXII

ABOUT ALCHEMYXXII

A sacred space for the misfits, mystics, and those who were told they were too much.

AlchemyXXII was born out of survival — and a refusal to stay small.

Founded by Ashley Llyn, a witch, intuitive guide, and exvangelical survivor, AlchemyXXII is more than a metaphysical store. It’s a reclamation. A sanctuary. A love letter to every person who’s ever been punished for knowing, feeling, or asking too many questions.

Ashley grew up in a cult-like religious household steeped in fear, silence, and control. After surviving trauma, poverty, abandonment, and spiritual abuse — and losing a sister to suicide — she did the only thing that made sense: she listened to her intuition. And that voice led her back to magick.

What started as a kitchen altar and a handful of herbs turned into a movement: one that blends old world ritual with modern healing, and gives others the tools to trust themselves again.

OUR MISSION

To help you deconstruct the beliefs that hurt you, reclaim the gifts they tried to take from you, and practice magick in a way that’s grounded, intuitive, and real.

  • Intuitive readings + spiritual consultations

  • Witch School — for beginners and returning witches

  • Community events, workshops, and mentorship

  • Paranormal + energetic investigations

  • A storefront in Little Rock, Arkansas — and an online space for those watching from the shadows

WHY “ALCHEMYXXII”?

Alchemy is the ancient art of transformation — not just of metal into gold, but of grief into purpose, rage into clarity, survival into power.

The number 22 isn’t random. It’s a master number in numerology — the number of sacred builders, dreamers, and witches who shape the world they want to live in.

It’s also a dedication.

Ashley’s sister passed on January 22nd, 2021 — a soul wound that still shapes everything. The shop opened four years later, also on the 22nd. That date became a tether, a spell, a promise:

✨ That healing is possible.
✨ That grief doesn’t end us — it initiates us.
✨ And that every person who walks through these doors carries someone with them, too.

AlchemyXXII is built on that kind of love. The kind that outlives us.
