  • Shelley, owner of the shop, is a dedicated Hermetic practitioner who brings grounding energy, wisdom, and intuition into everything she does.

    Gifted in manifestation and protection spells, and guided by the Divine Feminine, she creates a safe, empowering space for growth and healing. Working closely with Kali, Hathor, Gaia, Isis, Hecate, & Laylah, honoring both the light and shadow aspects of the Sacred Feminine. As a tri-clair, Shelley weaves heart-centered energy and deep spiritual insight into her work, ready to help all curious souls who enter in find what they need for the best possible spiritual path, making the shop a warm and magical community hub.

  • Lola bridges the celestial and the sensual, guiding others through astrology, tarot, breathwork, and somatic awareness. A 200-hour Registered Yoga Teacher and intuitive healer, she blends movement, mindfulness, and mysticism to create deeply restorative and transformative sessions.

    Her work is rooted in the belief that the body holds ancient wisdom — that by returning to ourselves, we return to the cosmos. Through her heart-centered approach, Lola helps others release tension, reclaim presence, and reconnect with their inner rhythm.

    Each session is designed to nurture both spirit and self — inviting you to step back into your body, rediscover your magic, and trust your divine timing.

  • Our shop manager, Sammi’s path has been one of exploration, self-acceptance, and stepping into her own power. Growing up in Southern CA without religious influence, she leaned along the left-hand path with atheism, before deeply connecting to the values of The Satanic Temple in her early 20s. Aligning with the tenants of equality regardless of race, gender, or identity, advocacy for women’s reproductive rights, and self-respect above all else. Working closely with Lilith and embracing her love of the color purple, Sammi embodies both healing and empowerment.

    She is openly and proudly queer and is very protective of all orientations and identities who find solace within the shop. She brings humor, inclusivity, and heart to our shop family—striving to making the space welcoming for all who enter.
