Divining the New Year at Reign Rituals

From gazing into crystal balls and reading tarot cards to speculating about news, current events, and pop culture, let us take you behind the scenes and into what 2022 has in store. 

Reign Rituals, located in downtown Denver in the Whittier neighborhood, is a space that is welcoming and accepting to everyone who walks through the door. They offer a place to come get your makeup or nails done, or get a facial or tarot reading in a safe space for people of all colors, all faiths, all genders, and all orientations. 

Witchiness is not just for the straight, white women of the world—it’s for the queers, and we love to get our supplies—and get our lewks on—at Reign Rituals. 

“I love that this is a space that tries to work actively for the community, not against the community, when it comes to including people of color,” says model Brianna Janae. “They’re inclusive with their staff and their pricing—if you inquire with a financial need, they will work with you, which doesn’t happen at most metaphysical shops. They also offer discount days to people of color and unhoused folks.” 

The space also offers intentional makeup lessons for trans folks and those who didn’t learn to do makeup growing up, and pair tarot work with beauty to remind us that as important as getting the look might feel to us, what’s important is what’s on the inside. 

If you need to set your new year off right, head over to Reign Rituals, and grab some supplies for divining your new year, and your new you.
