Ancient Ways
A self-described "complete metaphysical" shop in Oakland's Temescal district that has been selling "spells and service" for over three decades (Oakland North profiled its 25th anniversary in 2013). In-store tarot readers work alongside shelves of ritual herbs, candles, oils, stones, and pagan/Wiccan supplies.
The move: BART or drive to Temescal, get a joint tarot reading from a staff reader, then pick out ritual candles or herbs together for a shared home ritual.
