Des Moines New Age Shop & Community Center — Attraction in Des Moines

We stopped in here on a road trip to grab some items I needed for cleansing. Prices seemed high compared to where I normally shop, but didn't have time to try to shop around. Not that big of a deal. The lady was nice and not pushy. However, I regrettably asked for a reading with "Phsycic Jeff." This guy is appalling. I had to leave the reading because his negative energy was making me physically ill. He told us to write down questions and if he doesn't answer then before the end of the reading, we could ask them. He didn't hit in any of them and was so ridiculously all over the place and general. Never made it to an end where I even wanted to ask him the questions we wrote down. He told my husband to quit his job to work on construction, then be a lumberjack, then be an inventor or do something with advertising! He said I was flighty, only with my husband for his money, he asked my husband if he cheated on me. Why would any of this be pertinent? He also told me to go on a diet and that I shouldn't drink pop, it's bad for me. I don't drink pop. I drink mostly water. He also said no drugs , no pets 😂 but we should magically have a second kid that I can't have and we don't want... I don't use drugs and I have 3 incredible pets that make my life better every damn day. Something about energy coming off animals and effecting us negatively. The only people I've ever seen effected negatively by animals are negative beings so maybe he shouldn't have animals because they likely do not like him. He was a misogynistic jerk. When I walked out , he said he needed to say things to my husband he couldn't say when I was around. My husband comes out to tell me that this guy told him women lie, I don't care if "he's small" and he will never be the "man in bed"! WHAT THE HELL?! On what planet is this a psychic reading? This guy didn't get anything right , especially not regarding personal matters like he said to my husband. I wanted to circle back and give them a piece of my mind and ask for a refund. I wish I had this recorded so I could share this stupidity with the world. Do not go here. I do not remotely recommend this hell hole . I'm fairly certain this narcissistic guy gets his jollies off trying to pit couples against one another. Unreal. I guess we got our money's worth in entertainment and laughs. My husband and I certainly took away that we are great together and everything that came out of that guy's mouth was...

I wanted to love this place.. I COULDNT.. Stopped in after lunch excited to see what this odd shaped business set back from everyone else, had to offer. Walking in the door i was welcomed with a loud door song that totally gave me anxiety. not a great start. A very nice man welcomed me right away and asked if i had any questions and let me know i could ask for help at any time. He proceeded to leave me alone. I LOVED that. I wanna ride out my own vibes. The store had so much to look at. Everything cramped in one little space. At first i wasnt feeling it only due to feeling rushed by my own eyes. Then it felt like a little surprise that i could look up and see even more things! TILL... I saw the prices.. I honestly didnt see anything priced with love, understanding, or even fellowship with others also on a path of self awareness. These prices are mean. Down right heart breaking. Poorly wrapped stones go for 65$ plus. I wanted to cry. This place is taking advantage of you. The normal person wants to go in to buy a healing stone set. This would cost you over 200$ for a small set here. Absolutely awful. Even after all the sad vibes. I found a stone that i had never heard of before. I looked it up, and it didn't exist. Maybe i googled wrong but it wasn't there. But it was 80$ and fit in the palm of my hand... What The New age shop is doing to our community is wrong. Please, go anywhere and feel it. Because unfortunately this is a very shady place. Any experienced light worker knows...

I am absolutely positive the "crystal" I purchased was just an oddly shaped glass marble.. be careful what you buy here. The prices of the crystals are outrageously expensive. Do your research before buying. It's abundantly clear they do not have a wholesaler they purchase through.

I've stopped in a few times. The owners seem to be too good or too lazy to talk to their customers. When the workers are uncertain of an answer, they yell to the owner for help, and she yells the answer back. I asked several questions the worker didn't know the answer too (which is fine) but the yelling was energetically disruptive to other shopper's experiences. Sometimes your craft is personal and yelling your customer's business across the store is very unprofessional. The owner was sitting by the windows and didn't seem to be doing anything important. Why not get up and help a fellow witch and allow your worker to move on to another customer? This is mind boggling to me.

I promise you this isn't the only awful experience I've had in this store. I highly recommend taking your business else where.

Why did the worker say she would be paid because I gave her a large sale? I asked her what she meant and she further explained that sometimes if they don't bring in a lot of sales, she is paid in product and then hawks the products at the brass armadillo.... did the worker make...
