Metaphysical · Candles · Tarot
The spirit side of Spina & Spiritus. Candles, tarot cards and readings, made for the quiet moments.
Scent can change a room, and a moment. Each candle is hand-poured into a matte black vessel with a bamboo lid, and scented to support a different kind of energy. Lovely for meditation spaces, tarot readings, spiritual practice, quiet evenings, or simply because the room deserves it. Pick the one that fits how you want to feel.

Candle safety: never leave a burning candle unattended. Keep it away from children, pets and anything flammable, burn it on a heat-safe surface, and trim the wick before each use.

Don Rumer-Rivera · Psychic medium · Tarot reader
Hello, and welcome. I’m Don Rumer-Rivera, a psychic medium, tarot reader, author, speaker and spiritual teacher. I help people find clarity, confidence and direction in life’s most important moments.
Before devoting myself to psychic development, mediumship and tarot, I built a career as an engineer, attorney and real estate investor. That background gave me a grounded, analytical way of working, and I blend it with intuition: psychic insight, tarot wisdom and evidential mediumship, always with a practical eye on how it applies to the choices in front of you.
I work with people on relationships, career, personal growth, family, grief and life’s crossroads. As an evidential medium, I aim to share details you can recognize and validate, in a way that is compassionate, honest and empowering. I’m also the co-author of several books and teach classes and workshops on psychic development, mediumship and intuition.
Whether you want a psychic reading, a tarot reading or a mediumship session, I would be honored to walk beside you. I look forward to meeting you.
Hi, I’m Ed, also known as @azcactusdoctor. I’m an oncologist by training, but I just love plants. I grew up in San Juan, Puerto Rico, where everything grows well and everything is green. I have always loved gardening, but then I moved to Texas for medical training, and it was always hot, humid, and full of mosquitoes.
In 2011 I moved to Arizona and fell in love with the Sonoran Desert. Growing cacti and succulents is my passion, and I only grow plants that do well in the amazing Sonoran Desert.

Questions about an order, a product or an event? Reach out.
Every plant has a two-part Latin name, like Opuntia microdasys. The first word is the genus: a group of closely related plants, like a family name. The second word is the species, the specific plant, like a first name. So Opuntia is the genus of all prickly pears, and microdasys is the bunny ears cactus.
Browse the shop and add what you want to your cart, then choose how you'd like to get it. Pick up at an event: you reserve online, we hold it for you, and you pay in person. Ship to me: you pay online on Stripe's secure page. Plants are picked up at plant events, candles and books at spirit-side events, and an order with both at events both sides attend. We can't bring every plant to every event, so your reservation tells us what to pack.
Yes, anywhere in the US except California and Hawaii, when you choose Ship to me and pay online. Plants ship bare-root (no pot) for a flat fee by size: $10 small, $15 medium, $20 large, plus $5 for each extra plant in the same box. Candles ship free. Books ship free, like candles (every book is $20, the hardcover $30). Pickup at an event is always free. See Upcoming events for where we'll be.
Every plant we ship is bare-root: no pot. Our photos show plants in pots, which is how they come when you pick them up at an event. For shipping we remove the pot. When your shipped plant arrives, pot it in dry, gritty cactus mix and wait about a week before the first watering so the roots can settle.
Spina (plants): every Saturday, 8am–12pm, at Roadrunner Park Farmers Market, 3502 E Cactus Rd, Phoenix, AZ 85032 (opens a map). Some events are for both sides and are tagged Spina + Spiritus in Upcoming events. For other locations we update the site and post on social media a couple of days before.
