About Zarifa

Zarifa in front of her store in Grants Pass, Oregon

Zarifa's Touch of Egypt is the only metaphysical store in Grants Pass, Oregon, located at 914 SW 6th Street, just north of the Caveman Bridge on the Rogue River. She offers Egyptian decor, Belly Dancing instruction and supplies, unique healing arts supplies and services, gift items, and spiritual readings.

Zarifa has had a sensitivity to the energies in the world around us all her life and just assumed everyone had these experiences until an auto accident in 1983, one that presented her with a life-altering near-death experience. Although unclear at the time, the message she received was one about her mother, who was to pass in an auto accident years later. It wasn't until her mother's passing that it became clear she was sent this message for a reason, and that it was her destiny to channel this talent to help those in need around her.

She does not consider this talent "psychic;" her talent is more one of feeling, beyond the ordinary definition of the word. It's not uncommon for her to be in a public place and receive a total stranger's state of mind as they pass by - not their thoughts, their future, or their past, but what they feel. This often comes uninvited, and is not always pleasant.

Zarifa does not practice black arts, nor are her practices contradictory to any established religious or spiritual beliefs. The path to spiritual enlightenment is always unique to the individual. Her way is not one restricted to ritual or tenet, it is one of spiritual and emotional sensitivity, as unique to each person as their fingerprint.

High Priestess of the Temple of Isis

In the summer of 2003, Zarifa received her ordination as High Priestess of the Temple of Isis in Geyserville, California, a federally recognized church under United States laws. She is authorized by the Temple to provide hospital and prison visitation services, perform weddings, namings, funeral services, and lead congregational services and ceremonies. She regularly holds ceremonies in the ancient Egyptian style in the temple located at her home. State ID 1106631, federal ID 94-2820642.

Belly Dancing Instruction and Supplies

Zarifa has been belly dancing for over 15 years and has performed professionally in Reno, Nevada before moving to Grants Pass, Oregon. She teaches classic Egyptian style belly dancing, more attuned to solo dancing as opposed to group dancing. Her store contains a select line of veils, hip scarves, and headdress for her students and the public. More info . . .

Spiritual Consultation

Zarifa offers Tarot readings and crystal healings, a consultation by which she senses and moves a person's energy and can detect blockage or darkness in their energy. This can relate to a physical or spiritual problem that needs to be resolved. In truth, the Tarot and crystals possess no inherent powers; they are just a medium by which she channels her client's energies to seek messages. In another situation, or for another medium, it could be some other talisman or method. The Tarot and crystals have always been a comfortable doorway to her special talents. More info . . .

Crystal healing and Tarot readings are not substitutes for medical diagnosis or treatment. Should you have any health care related questions, consult your physician or health care provider promptly.
