Had to pop on here to rave about Magdalena's Botanica, an Esoteric and spiritual supply shop. It's…read morein a great location, inconspicuously tucked into Churchill proper on 25th St. The energy here is impeccable. They have so many different things from herbs to candles to books to tarot decks to crystals, etc etc. High quality items that are priced fairly. I was especially impressed with their wide variety of herbs. I especially loved their house made candles. I purchased some herbs and candles. The owner was there and checked us out. And she even offered to cleanse and dress my jar candle for me for free. Which was such a lovely touch. The staff was so warm and welcoming. Now that I've seen how fantastic this shop is, I am going to be a regular customer. Black owned, LGBT+ safe

Highly recommend visiting it the first time to get an idea of everything that they have and coming back knowing what you need. They have supplies for diverse selection of people and spiritualities.

It would ultimately be the perfect spot to make a little gift basket for someone with all the cute items that they carry. They have home decor, kitchen items, paper, lovely, seasonal items, and a ton of unique Charlottesville type of gifts. The prices are moderate but when looking at a store like this with quality items, I feel it is reasonable. I also loved how they carried Poppy popcorn, Candy Club items, and had cute paper products.

I thought we were going to have to wait the whole time while the candles dried, but we were able to pick them up the next day. The staff (Jen and Ursula) were amazing! Very welcoming and helpful. Definitely will be back with friends!

The intention behind this experience is good, but unfortunately, the overall experience was…read moreunderwhelming. We booked the candle-making session as a couple and were assisted by two young women who unfortunately did not seem very welcoming or engaged. During our session, they had personal conversations directly in front of us, including comments about how they did not want to be there. That made the experience feel uncomfortable and unprofessional. For the cost, I also expected a more extensive candle-making experience with a larger variety of options and scents to choose from. The selection felt very limited for the price. The music was definitely the best part of the experience and created a nice atmosphere. Unfortunately, based on our experience, I would not return.

It was cool... Having attended a few candle-making classes before at other businesses, it was…read moredifficult not to compare this experience to prior ones. The bar was previously set and unfortunately Wick & Sip didn't fully meet it. More scent variety would have been great. It was also nearly impossible to smell the fragrances from the samples, so you had to reference the full supply bottles to get a worthwhile whiff. Luckily my class was relatively small, but even so, getting the chance to smell certain scents was cumbersome once they were claimed by others (again, you had to use the full bottles because the smaller samples were too faint). I didn't mind the selection of drinks, but please keep in mind that they come with the purchase so don't expect huge portions. Also, both times, the gentleman poured noticeably larger amounts for my guest compared to mine. No big deal given that these aren't top shelf drinks, but it was just weird and seemed intentional. It's downtown so parking can be frustrating, but fortunately I went at the right time and managed to park in front of the establishment. I would definitely go again if invited by someone, but I would first consider other similar businesses if it's an outing that I plan myself or just feel like making candles as a solo activity.
