The Starry Cave

We are offering two types of consults at the Sacred Alchemy Store , the Quimbanda consult and the dafá or Ifá consult and sometimes it can be difficult to choose what consult is better suited to one’s needs, hence this article detailing the content and purpose as well as  differences in these services.
