Meet Marco & Jacob, Founders of Heart Magic
Best friends, collaborators, and travelers united by a shared respect for ancient plant traditions and a desire to bring them into modern life, without losing their integrity.
Our paths have taken us through many worlds:
- Creative work, building and entrepreneurship
- Movement, music, and community
- Travel, ceremony, and study with plant medicines
Through it all, one question kept returning: How do we make these experiences more accessible, without diluting their power?
Heart Magic is our latest offering.
How Heart Magic Began
We didn't set out to build a cacao brand.
Heart Magic began in Guatemala, where we shared ceremonial cacao before gatherings, dances and retreats. Again and again, we watched people soften, open up and connect, sometimes for the first time in years. Then came the question we heard after almost every gathering: where can I buy this?
The honest answer was: not easily. Traditional ceremonial cacao takes knowledge, tools and time to prepare well. So we created the individually portioned heart: the same whole, ceremonial-grade cacao, shaped into a single serving you can prepare in seconds. Nothing diluted, nothing stripped away. Just the cacao we fell in love with, made ready for everyday life.
Inspired by cacao's long history in Indigenous Mesoamerican cultures, and created with respect for the traditions that carried it forward.
What We Make and How We Source It
Whole cacao, sourced with care, tested openly.
Every Heart Magic product starts with whole, ceremonial-grade Peruvian cacao that is never alkalized. Our hearts, the Signature, Elemental and Eternal Bloom blends, use cacao from small family farms in Peru, blended with six functional mushrooms: cordyceps, lion's mane, reishi, chaga, golden oyster and maitake, all as fruiting-body extracts. Our Pure Cacao Discs are a single ingredient: heirloom white-bean cacao from the Piura region of Northern Peru.
We publish what we test. Every product is tested for heavy metals, and the certificates are published openly for anyone to read.
Our Mission & Philosophy
Heart Magic exists to make ancient plant wisdom more accessible in modern life without losing its integrity.
We believe plant medicine doesn't need to be rare or complicated to be powerful. When approached with care and intention, it can live in simple daily rituals that support grounded energy, emotional openness, and creative flow.
Every Heart Magic blend is crafted as a bridge between ancient tradition and modern rhythm, depth and ease, inviting you to slow down, reconnect, and lead from the heart.
Brought to you by thousands of years of indigenous wisdom.
