I love coming across witchy shops that you can tell someone puts there heart into and actually creates what they are selling. When I saw Tea~leaves~and~ashes I fell in love with the spoons and felt the good energy! Today I am excited to share with all of you Dessa an Eclectic Witch working online out of Oklahoma.Â
As always here are the links and places to find all they offer.

Now on to the good stuff…
In a few sentences describe your business.
Tealeavesandashes is all about everyday witchery. Incense, candles, oils, runes, altar items. We aim to make products accessible for all paths, and all types of witches out there. With goals in the future to include a potential blog, classes, tarot readings. You name it. It’s all about spreading the insight and knowledge both myself and my partner have gained over the years to help build up our community.
Do you work alone?
No, I work with my husband
Introduce your team      Jackson Hostler, he is my husband and business partner. With 5 years of insight and experience in witchcraft. He is the tech savvy side of things, while also aiding in making products for our little shop.
How long have you been working at this?
Since 2018, but we just recently rebooted our shop
What is your Mission Statement?
To aid in the growth of a growing community, to share our path and insight with those that need guidance, to assist in making everyday witchery available to anyone.
What is your favorite part about what you do?
All of it. The creativity, the ability to connect with others. Every aspect of what I do is incredible, and aids in my own growth as a witch and a person.
Why did you start this professional Journey?
Both my husband and myself love our beliefs, and the ability to create with our hands. We started on this journey as a way to grow closer and to be able to become our own bosses at the end of the day.
What can you offer customers that your competitors can’t?
Everything we offer is rather unique. Our oil blends are designed based on knowledge of herbal correspondences, same with our candles. Our incense is rather one of a kind too. We’ve taken everything in our shop and made sure that it’s done with pure intention to aid the witch that purchases it.
How would you handle a herd of cats?
With so much excitement! I mean, cats are going to do as they please, so you might as well enjoy the show while it’s around.
Tell us more about your business?
Our incense are loose leaf blends, designed to be burned over charcoal. Or, of course, any other means that one might burn incense. They are made with handpicked herbs and oils to aid the person using them in the most peak manner. We’ve got meditation, positive vibrations, even a cleansing powder that’s made to be dumped and swept! Our oils are all skin safe too! That’s one of our proud points! Our oils are all intention designed, for easing anxiety, aiding sleep, and bringing about mental clarity. We are even working on an anointing oil too! Everything we have at this point is totally hand made and designed to be used as soon as you receive it!
Who has been an inspiration to you along this path?
My husband, he’s been supportive, even with all my doubts about taking such a step
What superpower would you like to have? and why
Mind reading, it would really cut out some middleman crap, if you ask me lol
When you are not working what do you do?
I enjoy watching youtube gamers, as well as doing roleplay writing and starting to get into DND, anything that brings about that creativity is enjoyable for me outside of working!
How do you include your Pagan faith in your work?
In everything, if you want me to be honest. I mean, even our deity candles are scented with intention. All herbs and oils used have a use. They are corresponding herbs and oils based on what I want my items to do for the customer. So, really, this is all about integrating my faith into everything that I do!
