Witches Ink is locally owned and has been operating for over five years and I have lived in Red Deer for over twenty. The idea of Witches Ink came about during a discussion with a good friend about my dream to have one of the biggest metaphysical/New Age stores in Central Alberta. So this started a journey of discovery and ideas galore, and set out a path that I never would have thought to walk. Through this I have become a Reiki Practitioner and love the energy healing world of stones, oils and herbs. Wiccan soon followed, with the love of nature, animals and the belief that what we give is what we get back, so giving positive and supportive energy is what I do and love to do. Everything in life finally started to fit and feel right for the first time ever. From a broken relationship that left me at the bottom with no one to help me, I had to dig myself out, and with that experience I found a strength and a passion to help others through their struggles. They say there is always a silver lining and I truly believe this now more than ever, the friends I have made would have not been, if my direction had not been changed. My life is by far better than it ever has been!

Starting out Witches Ink was just a small venture to sell clothes and some wiccan items online but progressed faster than I could have predicted. Doing allot of vendor markets and meeting so many great people, this turned Witches Ink into more than just a “store” , I have developed many strong and lasting relationships with customers and various people I have met along the way. People come to visit and meet other like minded folks in their area. My long term goal was  to open a full time retail shop  and to now have achieved this is a dream come true. Witches Ink is more than just a place to buy cool things but a place to come and hang out and feel welcome. Be with like minds and not be judged and where you can tell someone your experiences and know they are here to listen. Every one of my customers are not just a sale, they are a special person that share their experiences and journeys with me thus I call them my friends not “clients” this is what Witches Ink is about. 

So thank you to all those loyal friends that follow me on Facebook, shop at my store and support me in every way. To all those new to Witches Ink WELCOME and I hope that you can stop by say hi and sit for a spell.
