Ancient Ways,

2420 University Avenue, Des Moines, IA 50311

"Very nice staff & always accommodating. I will say the inventory is fairly sparse when I visit, but it being a small business I understand."

"I knew the true Ancient Ways that flourished with knowledge and love. Unfortunately when Jo took leave it's never been the same. I've tried to keep an open mind and patience with the remaining factors. Unfortunately.... This one poinent and painful event stands true in its simplicity! When one woman allows another woman to go with lipstick on their teeth ...yet can go about selling to them. Can you really trust that salesperson? Honestly disappointed once again."

"The store had a bad vibe. The girl working was rude and not helpful at all. There was a guy laying on the couch not sure what he was doing there but it was an uncomfortable feeling. I will never go back to the store again. The whole situation was unpleasant. I would not wasting your time or energy on this store."

"It has potential to be a nice little shop, but inventory is rarely updated, so don't come here expecting anything new if you've been recently. The staff is friendly but the merchandise is pricy, especially the stones. There are other places in the metro with much brighter vibes. Something about this place is off."

"Despite the place going down hill from what it used to be with items sold. I always come out filled with positive energy. The staff are always decently familiar with the craft. Just not of the local active covens. Last time I went I was drawn by a guiding force to just take me there. I wanted a certain candle didn't have the money for it. But was blessed to observe a reading being performed. The blessings of the Lord and Lady, the sweet woman whom was having her tarot reading performed bought me the candle. I say this was always my no 1 go to place for items locally "Craft" related. As a 3rd degree I can't say enough positive things about this store. I remember it was ran by a Coven when It was over by the blazing saddle. May the Lord and Lady bless all who come into the store."
