“I was just making small batches of candles with specific intentions i.e., healing, for the season, or moon phases, and they were selling out as soon as I would post for sale on social media,” she said.ĭevick plans to offer tarot/oracle readings and host other readers. She said that her energy herb candles have been the by far the most popular items so far, and they generated enough clientele for her to move forward with the physical location. She was influenced by a couple of her favorite shops, Good Vibes Crystal and Gift Shop in Marshalltown and Enchanted Mystical Boutique in Des Moines.ĭevick makes soaps, tinctures, perfume oils and sage sprays using herbs and plants that she grew and harvested organically. The new building gives Devick a place to showcase what she had previously been selling online: alternative and holistic health items, divination tools, crystals, art, oddities, vintage goods, organic tea blends, ethically sourced white sage bundles, hand-crafted Tibetan singing bowls, synthetic free incense sticks, pendulums, tarot decks and spiritual books. The result is an impressive, professional and comfortable area, and although Tyler isn’t into the spiritual and metaphysical the same way his wife is, he said he’s there to support and encourage her success however he can. Her husband Tyler began renovating the new shed shortly after the storm, teaching himself along the way. Since it had to be replaced, it became an opportunity to upgrade into a space Devick could utilize. She wasn’t sure if the dream would become a reality until the derecho swept away her family’s previous shed last year. The shop also sells other divination tools like pendulums and tarot cards. October Embers carries crystals with specific qualities that promote healing, health and positive energy.
