Devil’s claw is a creeping, weedy perennial native to South Africa, specifically to the Kalahari Desert and Namibian steppes. Also known as harpago, grapple plant and duiwelsklou, devil’s claw has a long history of traditional use in the region and is now an important export crop to the West.
Reputedly introduced to Europe by a German soldier in the 18th century, the herb has gained considerable popularity in Britain and Germany in recent years. Today, devil’s claw root is approved as a non-prescription analgesic for rheumatic disorders by the German Commission E, the counterpart to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.

I care about my family, yes I said family. I don't see customers, I see new friends and family. If you don't have funds to buy, that's ok come hang with us and soak up some good energy! I strive to find all natural and organic herbs, teas and oils. Listen to my people and find what they are looking for if it is not already in the store. Keep up with vendor sites and pre-order new releases of books and decks to make sure you get to see the newest items as fast as possible.
Absolutely amazing energy! This store has everything I needed to get started on my spiritual journey. The owner Heather and the boy she had helping her were truly kind and helpful during my visit. The best part was the extensive collection of books and tarot decks she had in the library area. If you are into this kind of thing you have just got to visit.

As I was on my journey for my own spiritual enlightenment I discovered there were very few places to help me. I wanted to make the journey for others to travel easier and Mystical Moon was born. It has grown from a small traveling vendor show setup to what are we today.
