Welcome to Sassy Magick, a metaphysical shop located in the historic French Quarter of New Orleans at 1301 Decatur St.
Sassy Magick was built on the lifelong dream of co-owner Father Wilde of one day owning an occult shop, and co-owner Miss Shannon’s dream of sharing her passion for art and high-quality occult products, and both living their faith from the time they wake up until they rest their heads at night.
Father Wilde and Miss Shannon, originally from Canada, fell in love with New Orleans during a spur-of-the-moment visit years ago and committed to one day moving there with their teenage twins and French Bulldog Nola (who you can meet at the shop!), thus Sassy Magick was born.
What Makes Sassy Magick Different?
Knowing that New Orleans already has some amazing occult shops that are highly successful, they wanted to open one themselves, however, did not want to ride on anyone’s coattails. They decided to offer something a little different, yet keeping the products offered in line with genuine occult practices.
Miss Shannon is someone who likes the finer things in life, but they also must include a little pink and sparkle. Father Wilde tends to lean towards the occult, so what a perfect combination: dark, yet cute; classy, yet sassy. The shop is best described as "an occult store with a little more," an "American Horror Story-Coven meets Hello Kitty" vibe.

At Sassy Magick, you can elevate your practice with a wide variety of books, tarot and oracle cards, incense, and jewelry. The store also offers pins, t-shirts, dog collars, and souvenirs.
I noticed that lower Decatur Street has become, more than ever, a haven for esoteric/occult shops. Some are a little more touristy than practical, but for the most part, you'll find what you need...

Reiki
Reiki is a Japanese healing modality that has been used for 2,500 years that is used to promote healing and stress reduction and relaxation. The word Reiki is made of two Japanese words - Rei which means "God's Wisdom or the Higher Power" and Ki which is "life force energy".
First Class - These relics are the physical remains of a saint. Third Class - These relics refer to articles that have come into contact with a first- or second-class relic. If you have an item that is special or near and dear to your heart that you would like created into a relic, you can book an appointment online or contact the shop for more information.
Sin Eating
Traditional sin-eating can be traced back with certainty to the early 17th century, although it is suspected to be much older, and likely a remnant of a mystery tradition from Egypt. Sin-eating at its core is the preparation of the dead for the afterlife. Although often associated with Christianity, it knows no religion and applies to anyone interested in both being trained in it, and providing sin-eating services.
The physical part of the ritual of sin-eating is a relatively simple one. It requires food, drink, salt, a wooden bowl, and a wooden plate. Charms would be said over the body of the deceased, or sometimes, over someone in the process of dying. The drink, usually ale, but sometimes milk or wine, would be drunk and the food, typically bread would be eaten after dipping it in the salt.

Therapeutic Touch
Therapeutic Touch is a non-intrusive therapy that may be used to compliment traditional medicine. It has been a successful part of patient care in many settings such as hospitals, rehab centers, hospices, palliative care, nursing, and retirement homes for many years.
Therapeutic Touch is used by health care professionals of many different disciplines such as registered nurses, social workers, occupational therapists, and counselors. Therapeutic Touch is an energy-based therapy in which the practitioner uses their hands as a focus to detect blockages in the flow of energy and helps the body to re-pattern its energy field toward wholeness. However, TT is also used outside of medial settings and can be a very effective healing modality that is available to everyone.
