He woke up to a voice he called Spirit, saying, “Let’s move to North Carolina and help people!” “That’s how we ended up here, about three years ago,” Zakari said.
“No, this is ‘another Salem’.”
That’s what Zachary VanDine told patrons who came into his occult shop and asked if this was the place where all the witches died. These customers are in the wrong city for that, but in the right place for all things spiritual, witchy, and spooky. After all, this is a magical city of art and innovation.
We opened our second Casa Shanty in West End Millworks about three years ago, our first Casa Shanty has been in South Florida for over 10 years, and now we have our third Casa Shanty on Trade Street in Winston-Salem. opened in June last year. The company offers a wide range of metaphysical supplies, including healing crystals, tarot cards, books, herbs, incense, and spells with ingredients such as wolf pelt, Hyjon root, and Jezebel root. Customers can book psychic readings, tarot and palmistry readings, astrology consultations, have aura photography done, purchase clothing, jewelry, spiritual supplies, and more, just to name a few of the services offered. You can also take classes in tarot, numerology, or energy work. more!
“Coming to Winston-Salem felt like filling the community’s need for an authentic occult and spiritual shop with magical calorie readings,” he says.
Van Dine describes herself as a natural intuitive, witch, and teacher, and despite her humble upbringing and religious upbringing, she has had a lifelong interest in spiritual and magical things. I’ve been drawn to everything.
“I actually found out that this disease runs in my mother’s side of the family, but we were raised Catholic, so we never really talked about it,” he says.
Van Dine later learned that he was a distant cousin of Abraham and Mary Todd Lincoln, who were known to have held seances in the White House, and he delved deeper into his own spirituality. I couldn’t ignore his charm. Zakari began reading professionally to the public at the age of 15 and learning all things natural and magical. In 2002, he traveled to India, where his spirit led him to study with the 14th Dalai Lama, the 17th Gyalwang Karmapa, an alchemist, and a healer named Dr. Patrick of Goa.
When he returned to Fort Myers, Florida, more than four years later, he experienced what he called a “phoenix moment,” a moment of rebirth or awakening.
“Spirit told me to unite people in the name of peace,” he says.
And so Casa Shanti, which means “House of Peace,” was born. He was subsequently named one of Southwest Florida’s best readers and Casa Shanti was named one of the best places to read.
VanDyne emphasizes the importance of authentic products and services. The products lining the shelves, on the tables, and hanging on the walls have all been carefully selected by Van Dine to guarantee quality and energy efficacy, and visitors can also enjoy the products. We encourage you to touch and feel it.
“My spiritual products need to be felt and touched,” he says. “You need to know that they’re real and genuine and feel good.”
He also works with casa readers, including toe readers, palm readers, astrologers, and fifth-generation psychics (those who can communicate between the spirits of the living and the spirits of the dead) and clairvoyant readers. Shanti describes all of her other readers as genuine and experts in their field. their craft.
“We don’t have a TikTok audience,” he says. “We don’t have people other than professional true psychics, seekers, astrologers, and energy workers.”
Van Dine believes that everyone can benefit from seeking spiritual guidance without getting caught up in semantics, as some spiritual practices are the same act with different names.
“For example, if you’re doing yoga, some people might think it’s the devil, but if you say you’re stretching for Jesus, that’s acceptable,” VanDine says. .
He also says that Spirit manifests itself through synchronicities, such as numbers, events, and small voices in our hearts, but that Spirit and our ancestors are constantly sending us messages, so we can’t turn away from the moment. He also states that it is best to accept it instead.
“It’s important to ask questions and look for answers, not just yourself, of course, but also from the right people with experience,” he says.
Casa Shanti is the perfect place for anyone looking to get started in spirituality, magic, energy work, seeking more information about higher powers, or for those who desire tranquility in life, and with Van Dine His team is passionate about sharing their knowledge of spirituality with others. These practices are beneficial in more ways than practitioners realize.
“It leads to peace of mind and understanding and clarity, which is generally a good thing,” he says.
