Ace of Cups Maui

Updated:

There’s something magical about Haiku – a small town on Maui’s windswept north shore. Haiku has long been a hub for yoga retreats, healing centers, and non-denominational temples, attracted by an unseen spiritual pull. When it comes to the tools for spiritual interaction, look no further than Ace of Cups Maui.

About Ace of Cups Maui

The newest storefront to open in Haiku was developed in the vein of the area’s mystical atmosphere. Specializing in tarot and oracle decks, Ace of Cups opened its doors in February 2023 after a lengthy build-out.

During the pandemic, owner Nicole LeClair transformed a vacant space in the Aloha Aina Center into a welcoming metaphysical store. Ace of Cups feels like a storefront on Diagon Alley (the shopping hub for witches and wizards in the Harry Potter universe), with flickering candles, cozy area rugs, and arching bookshelves stocked with oracle and tarot decks. “I was going for a kind of library vibe, comfortable and inviting,” Nicole says.

What can you find at Ace of Cups?

For a tarot enthusiast, Ace of Cups is the promised land. Nicole stocks her shop with both widely available, affordable decks and ultra-rare decks from around the world. “In the back [of the shop] and in the cases, I have the more unique decks, sourced directly from the artists,” she says. “I have decks from Germany, Japan, Ukraine, Italy, all over. I do carry some decks that are out of print that you can’t find anywhere else.”

Understanding the delicate nature of tarot, Nicole set up a table in the middle of the space so customers could get acquainted with different decks. “I have samples of almost every deck out, so people don’t buy something they’re not going to use,” she says. “I really want to invite people to come in and spend time getting familiar with the different decks. There’s a lot to choose from.”

In addition to tarot and oracle decks, Ace of Cups is stocked with metaphysical goods like crystals, pendulums, pillar candles, smudge sticks, books, and dream journals – anything a budding witch or wizard needs to get started.

 

Readings Hosted By Ace of Cups

One of the most alluring facets of Ace of Cups is the readings: Nicole hosts tarot, astrological, and akashic readers in the shop weekly. Numerologists and iridologists also appear on the schedule from time to time. “A lot of readers come in on certain days of the week, then I have other readers that are by appointment,” says Nicole.

Whether or not you’re familiar with tarot (or the occult in general), Nicole wants Ace of Cups to be a welcoming space for the community – and hopes to remind her customers that tarot can represent anything they want. “I like to always say there’s no rules. You hear about, ‘Oh, you can’t do this, and you can’t do that.’ I’m not about can’t,” says Nicole, citing tarot’s potential for empowerment. “It’s your practice. You make it however you want to make it. We can utilize this tool to be better, to be stronger, to be more guided, to be more focused, and to feel better about ourselves.”
