Mystic Raven is the home of Krista Schwimmer and Michael Wamback, professional Tarot readers and intuitives who make Bakersfield, California home.

Their journey began when they met at Little Mysteries, a delightful spiritual bookstore located in Halifax, Nova Scotia. They soon realized that they shared a lot of common interest, particularly in the art of divination. They married in the summer of 1997, surrounded by friends at a beautiful little cove on the Atlantic shores of Nova Scotia.

On January 3rd, 1997, they decided to launch Mystic Raven – a professional divination (reading) service. From the beginning, they wanted to create something special with only the highest good in mind and a strong commitment to honesty and ethics.

In November of that year, they made the decision to relocate to California so that Krista could be nearer to her parents. Eventually they settled in Venice Beach, where they did readings on the famous Venice Boardwalk. In November of 1998, they were asked to create the reader services offered at the world famous Bodhi Tree Bookstore on Melrose Ave. With the Bodhi Tree closing in 2011, they relocated their services to Mystic Journey Bookstore, where they continue to provide their services to this day, remotely.

In addition to providing readings through the bookstore, they see clients and friends at their home now in Bakersfield, California.

In November of 2018, Krista and Michael launched the critically acclaimed YouTube show “Sixth Sense Society”, which is rapidly growing a fan base. Hosted by Krista, the show features interviews with some of the amazing people they’ve met along their spiritual journey – everyone from Ministers and Buddhist Lamas to ghost hunters and psychics.
