Nicki is my go to sounding board and guide. She never imposes upon me her own views but really creates the sacred space for me to hear what I cannot hear and see what I cannot see by myself in the moment. Every time I leave our sessions, I feel more empowered, more grounded, and more excited about me and my life. Even when I'm feeling super frustrated and stuck, there's something about our work together that seems to break down the barriers faster than I'm creating them. So! Thank you Nicki for making space for me in your schedule whenever I need to drop in.

I went to Nicki in 2019 when I was really in tremendous emotional pain. My life was wreck. I…read morereally needed some spiritual guidance, something to hold on to because, honestly I was on the edge. She knew things about my family and I that there was absolutely no way of knowing. That in itself was a surprise. She has a calming demeanor and a way about her that is difficult to explain. Just talking to her and listening to some of the things she had to say was helpful and help me organize my mind from the frenzy. I was skeptical at first, but like another poster mentioned. She is the real deal. I just recently gifted my daughter a session, she is going through it right now and her experience was also very positive and left more hopeful. She has some kind energy about her that rubs off on you and stays with you for a while.

The Sword and Rose in Cole Valley is a quintessential San Francisco Occult Shop founded by beloved…read moreRandy in 1986, and continues to be a shoppe and community space (rather than a commercial store) run by dedicated witches, clairvoyants, priestesses and practitioners. From beginning to end of my experience, I knew I would be returning. There's a moment of "where is it, did I miss it," but as you approach the stuccoed arch, you see the weathered wooden sign and know you've found it. Past the shared hallway, when you enter that grey gardens-edward gorey-esque courtyard, you come upon a cottage you don't expect to be there. Once inside the threshold, you know you've entered a place where witches and real cobwebs are. I don't want to spoil too much, this is truly a place for the senses and open-hearted to experience. I'll say I met Krystl, who's been there for 22 years, and received a sliding scale Motherpeace Tarot reading with recommended housemade incense and left with a few Magick and Tarot zines from Teena and Sean. We also talked about some interesting topics, I didn't want to leave, and i'm an introvert! I brought the incense home, i've never smelled such incredible high-quality and intentional incense from any current SF shop. And with my teacher/artist in SF budget, I still was able to leave with many treasures (though I wish I could've grabbed one of their excellent condition vintage tarot decks). Cash for tarot readings, card is fine for shop purchases. Turn your phone off, get present, support these places before private equity gets em.

I had such a great time yesterday. I like living in San Francisco not just for the micro climate…read morebut also because a few blocks down the street is like me going into a different village/township from the boring suburbia. Hayes/Hayes Valley just has just my favorite gypsy vibe. And Sword & Roses is just a historical representation of this 60s/70s SF lifestyle. I had a much needed concern coupled with recent tragic fire in HK (where my parents are. They don't live in the incident apt complex but still dark mood all over b/c of the bad news) that need addressing and spending a few hours at the shoppe just rejuvenated me. Yes, this is not a shoppe where you browse quick and rush out, I would avoid that if that is your plan cos you could meddle up the peace and flow of things there, j/k. Everywhere you turn, you will find gems literally in the shoppe. I couldn't take pics of the shine to show you out of respect but the place is always warm because shoppe owner heats up the chimney with more wood. This is a tiny little space but you could spend hours or up browsing through every inch and many actually do, taking their time when time in SF is worth a lot. I love the garden, the customers and the ladies who upkeep the shoppe. You will not come in and find this place boring! There is always conversations about meaning of life, spirituality, animal guides, tarot cards, astrology and palm readings. Someone will be searching through books to find their childhood treasure again or getting recycled leather bound journals for their out of town friends as a keepsake. Possibilities are endless, as endless as your openness to alternative healing and spiritual solutions. I brought some incense too (not in the pic) but it has the most gorgeous and tranquil blue that even not burning them (putting out in display immensely) enhance my spirit, my mood and my well being. I got instructions about what to do with the ashes too. Many came from out of town or just across the bay! I recommend stopping by to say "hi" to the friendly ladies or the shoppe owner, they are always up for a good chat and just so open and welcoming, I bet they get asked all sort of life questions so you won't shock them with your challenge. Bottom line, this is a cute, lovely, back shoppe filled with loads of SF histories, good times bad times, and foot prints of some unique souls, some beautiful, some odd and some stranger than old wives' tales. P.S. I will update my reading as time passes with realization of actual events. But maybe I will not, let the bygones be the bygones! Will see.

She offers both palm and card readings, and I was truly impressed with how spot-on she was about many aspects of my current life. Her insights were thoughtful and validating, and she also offered helpful suggestions for the future without ever feeling pushy or vague. In addition to readings, Holly offers chakra cleansing, which added a beautiful, healing touch to the overall experience. Her pricing is very reasonable, especially considering the value and care she provides during the session. I left feeling lighter, more grounded, and eager to return. A quick note: parking in this area of the city can be a bit tricky, so I'd recommend arriving early to give yourself time to find a spot and walk over without stress. All in all, I highly recommend Holly to anyone looking for clarity, healing, or simply a little spiritual insight. I'll definitely be going back!

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.

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!

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.
