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.

I love the Turkish lamp I just got from Ancient Ways in Des Moines. I wish I could post a picture of it but seems like I am not able to do so.

I’m convinced someone cursed this store.. it used to be so cool! I’ve been coming here for years.. but with moving to waukee I have a hard time getting out.. I was so disappointed when I walked in to no greeting except from the dog that was in there.. the shelves were bare.. I used to buy my hoodoo supplies and 7 day candles from there.. anyway there were 3 people working this day I came in and nobody talked to me at all! I stood in front of the herbs patiently waiting for the girl standing there to ask me if I needed any help.. but she didn’t.. I needed some candles anyway so grab them and go to check out and stand in front of the girl at the register.. she didn’t acknowledge me at all.. I was about to just put my products back but then eventually she decided she wanted to sell me candles.. but continued to talk to girl number 3 right passed me and even asked her if she could stop what she was talking about to help me .. I did not leave that place with a good feeling at all.. did new owners take over?? I’m so confused lol.. where’s all the merchandise? They have better supplies at the Mexican store & Barnes and noble tbh .. sad to see my fave stores go down hill

Missing lots if items that use to be carried at the prior location. Does not have the same energy or vibe that the prior location on Woodland Ave had. Staff was not very accommodating.

Bought the perfect pair of silver earrings... honeycomb shape dangle with a Bumble Bee at the end. Friendly staff.

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.

My husband and I went in looking for one thing and found ourselves having a great conversation with Ella. Ella was so knowledgeable and had a beautiful vibe about her! We bought a Crystal Ball which was awesome and was meant for me. I, that is we will certainly be back for more!!

Loved everything in the store. They have items from books to candles to herbal teas and much more.. Kind of pricey but I've only been to one other shop that's equally as expensive.

I had a tarot reading here and she was amazing! I asked so many questions and they were all answered. Definitely worth the price. Both workers were super helpful and knowledgeable. Can't wait to go back!
