✨ NEW! Join our Community Coven ✨

A heart-centered monthly meetup where spiritual seekers, intuitives, witches, and curious souls come together to explore, grow, and co-create in a safe, uplifting circle. 🌙

Each month we journey into a new theme through energy work, divination, intuitive practices, ritual co-creation, and more.

Expect hands-on activities, guided discussions, magical play, and a vibrant, supportive community where everyone is welcome. 💫

This Month’s Theme: Divination with Tarot & Oracle Cards - Listening to the Cards, Trusting Your Intuition

Together we’ll explore:
🔮 Tarot vs. oracle decks
✨ Intuitive vs. traditional reading styles
🌌 Fun group spreads & mini readings
🌿 Tips for connecting more deeply with your deck
🎨 Creative practices to strengthen your intuition

Bring your decks (or borrow one from our collection), bring your curiosity, and bring your magic. No experience needed aside from a curiosity and open heart. 💜

Arcana friends; if you know of anyone who can foster a dog for a few months, please please reach out !!

Hello everyone!
My name is Jesse and this is my lovely little pooch Milamay (Mila for short).
We are experiencing some difficult times lately. I suffer from an addiction to alcohol, and due to the effects of my behavior we have lost our home and have found ourselves living in a truck. I am in the process of seeking long term treatment for my condition. I am heartbroken to admit this but Im not in a condition to care for her properly.
I am looking for a kind person who would be willing to take care of her. Whether it be temporarily, or if the situation fits for her and you I would love for her to have a new forever home.
A bit about Mila...
She is a beagle about 7 yrs. old. I adopted her at a year old from some sketchy people on Craigslist. I believe she may have been stolen. They just wanted cash and that’s it. Anyway, she came with some anxiety but after 6 years she has become an amazing and fun companion.
She doesn’t need much attention under the right condition.
She loves to have a back yard with a dog runner or a fence. And she loves a walk around the hood everyday. She loves to sleep with people and cuddle. She does make some amazingly loud sounds when she sees a running squirrel. But she rarely barks when in the house. She is house trained and loves kids. Also dogs and she wont hurt cats. But cats have put her in her place from time to time when she tries yo play with them.
She is a wonderful little dog and deserves better than I can give right now.
If anyone out there has the right situation and willingness to adopt Mila I would love for her to find some new love. My heart is heavy as I write this but I know it’s the right thing.
Thanks for reading, and get in touch if you believe you can help. Peace 🖤

👋 If you’ve ever found yourself peering into your palms curiously- join us as we dive into the mysteries of the hand through our Introduction to Palmistry class!
This two hour long class will provide a basis for understanding the nature of oneself, and what the past and potential future holds inscribed within the hands. We’ll also touch on the history of palmistry, and why it’s been either buried or villainized for much of recent history. This Course will be hosted by our dear Bel, on Sunday, the 20th of July, 6-8pm. Sliding scale is available and encouraged- we would be brokenhearted if anyone pondering this topic was met with a financial roadblock. Reach out to the shop with any questions!

I’ve been getting tagged in some “face behind the business” posts, so allow me to reintroduce myself—and the other people who really make the wheels turn at Arcana.

I’m Jennie. I also go by JJ (she/they)... I’m a q***r mother, yoga teacher, grad student, and person in long-term recovery, among many other things. Maybe you know me as the owner of Arcana, a Sea Change Yoga teacher, that teacher you had in college who made you breathe. Maybe you’ve seen me at protests or on TikTok spewing feminist rants. Maybe you think I’m a resilient mama who’s managed to run a decently ethical business that prioritizes its workers and honors practices from around the world. Or maybe you’ve heard I’m a monster or a total b*tch. I’d say all of it’s a little true ;).

I grew up in Maine, in the Bangor area. I never imagined being a downtown Portland business owner, but when Kate Hebold, Arcana’s founder, was ready to step away, I felt called to step up.

As I took on this new role, I quickly saw things needed to change—not just at Arcana, but in the healing arts and Western yoga world. Through mentorship from Indigenous elders, my involvement in the BLM movement, and my education in feminism and human rights, I learned what we were doing wrong: appropriating practices, selling endangered plants from far away, spiritually bypassing, whitewashing... I knew something needed to change. And let’s be real, it wasn’t just my own self-evolution; it was YOU all, and my employees and co-owners, who pushed me to do better. (Continued in comments) 📸 cred
