    Entrance is in the back!
    Nikka C.

    Tarot reading ranges from $45-$120, depends on what you can afford and how you feel after the session. I did mine with Teena and she was great. It was my first time so I'm not sure how well I can rate it but the cards seemed to align with my life at the moment. The shop itself is small, lots of stuff, and there's space for 2 readings at a time.

    Inside the shop.

    I'd been meaning to stop in here for a long time and finally got the chance to today. The shop is super hidden and almost easy to miss. However, the magical energy around the store is entirely tangible (I could sense it from outdoors before I actually found the entrance). There are some really neat spiritual artifacts, books, and tools for your practice. Definitely worth checking out! My only reason for not giving 5 stars is that the person working the store was also in the middle of a Tarot reading when I walked up to the half-door in front of the store. It seemed as though I'd interrupted something. While I was browsing the store, I could sense the person getting their reading wanted some privacy (understandably). I'm sure the reading was great-- but I might suggest a "please be quiet, in the middle of a reading" sign or something along those lines. :-)

    All the incense and Crystal who reads my cards.

    I found this little gem while I was walking down Carl street about 9 years ago, I was immediately entranced and intrigued when I saw that is was almost hidden. It added that extra mystery i needed to go in. Upon entering, I was immediately greeted by an undeniable ambiance. All the many beautiful incense & oils they have not only on display, but for sale as well, all smell and look so amazing! My personal favorite is Lilith & 6 Grandfather's. My favorite oil is 'Venus oil.' I got my cards read by Crystal who is an amazing reader, she takes her time, the reading lasted 45 minutes. And it's sliding-scale!! I've been going ever since! I even got my mom to go in 2 years ago and she is a regular also! Highly recommend if your looking for people who care.

    The Sword and Rose is a hidden gem in San Fransisco! The lady who worked there was very knowledgeable and truly cared for each customer that walked in. There was a ton of variety in their products and I found exactly what I was looking for within minutes.

    Jessica Boyer has changed my life in ways I could never have expected. This all started a little…read moreover four years when I had a personal reading from Jessica. During the session I connected with both my mother and father who had passed and questions about so many things were completely answered. I felt like I finally understood my family history and how it has impacted my life and a huge weight was lifted off my shoulders. The personality of my loved ones totally came through and the number of specific details that no one could possibly know, confirmed for me that the experience was real in every way. Flash forward to this year. I looked up Jessica's website to see if she was still around but found that she was no longer doing personal readings but instead teaching workshops- Embracing your Intuition. Not exactly knowing what that meant, I contacted her and was able to jump into a group that had just started. The Embracing Intuition workshops are incredibly intense yet comforting and therapeutic at the same time. After doing guided exercises in tapping into your psychic intuitive abilities, you are asked to jump right in and read for others in the group. Jessica holds the space in such a loving and open way that you feel safe and accepted at all times. Jessica models vulnerability and love the entire time and shares her own intuitive hits alongside your fellow participants. Honestly, tapping into my intuitive sense was scary, exhilarating, and mind blowing. I was able to know things about other people in the group that I never knew possible and the other participants were able to tell me things that were also impossible for them to know. Most importantly, I learned how to contact my own spirit guides and develop and personal relationship with them, which I have continued to do well after the workshops were over. If you are ready to tap into your intuitive self and develop a relationship with beings on a higher dimensional level, consider taking a workshop with Jessica. It will change you in deep ways and show you more than just how to read intuitively for others, it will teach you to trust yourself- one of the hardest things to do in life.

    Jessica has a gift and my session with her was nothing short of amazing…read more I was searching for peace of mind during a time of grief and devastation having lost both my parents (different times but the most recent being my mom in 2020). I was sad, upset, lonely, confused, everything all at once. I did extensive research and came apon Jessica. Scheduling was simple and I was willing to wait a few months for my session because I believed it would be worth it. 100 percent it was. Jessica is very calming, and kind. She made me feel safe and comfortable (even on zoom). There is no doubt in my mind that she was able to reach my parents. The details in my reading were spot on. She brought up things that I only shared with my husband and therapist. I was taken back. I could hear and feel my parents come through. It was truly an experience I will never forget. Jessica helped things connect for me. I found a sense of peace that I was missing. I highly recommend meeting Jessica. You will not regret it. She is amazing. The wait will be worth every bit! Thank you, Jessica!

    I cannot believe I haven't reviewed Rebecca yet! When I say this woman opened my eyes and changed…read morethe way I thought about myself, I'm not exaggerating. When I had my reading with Rebecca I was in a tough place mentally. I had reached the point where I was feeling stagnant, purposeless, and checked out -- not exactly easy topics to talk about with someone you've just met. But Rebecca made it incredibly easy. She is warm, kind, empathetic, and trustworthy. She went through my birth chart and pointed out all the skills/talents I was born with, as well as highlighted how I'd been going through an astrologically challenging time. I left my session feeling completely validated and excited about my future. This woman KNOWS her stuff and knows how to deliver it in a way that's empowering and understandable. I loved her reading so much I gifted one to a close friend who I know will benefit from seeing her. If you're on the fence about whether you should see an astrologer or who you should see, look no further.
