I've been going to Botanica Victoria for a little over a year now, and it has truly become my go-to…read moreplace for anything spiritual. Whenever my energy feels off, I'll go in for a limpia (usually a couple times a year), and I always leave feeling lighter and more grounded. Victoria has read my palm before, and it was honestly so insightful and helpful. It gave me clarity and reassurance when I really needed it. She's incredibly patient, she listens, and she takes the time to explain things in a way that actually makes sense. No matter what question I come in with, she's always able to guide me or give me an answer that brings peace of mind. About a month ago was the first time I ever bought one of her baños, and the experience honestly blew me away. I usually do my own cleanses on my own, so I didn't know what to expect but after doing the New Year's Eve baño and completing the ritual, I felt such a strong and positive energy shift. It was incredible. Within an hour or two of doing the first part, it genuinely felt like something lifted off my spirit and something within me shifted in the best way. It was instant, grounding, and deeply healing. She also makes candles for just about any occasion, which is such a thoughtful and comforting touch. Her products are amazing, and you can really feel the intention behind everything she offers. The shop is run by Victoria and her grandson, and it's always such a joy walking in and seeing them both. They're both so welcoming, knowledgeable, and kind. It truly feels like a blessing to have someone with a real spiritual gift who uses it to help others. This is hands down my favorite spiritual place, and I'm so grateful to have found it.

Most items can be found online for less, but I prefer the in-store feels. Before today, my last visit was this past Christmas Eve. I bought some clamshell trinkets, porcupine quills, beard oil and few other non-essentials. On that particular day, I witnessed the owner tear apart the entire window display to fetch a rabbit necklace for a young couple. I ear hustled as the couple asked if they can reduce the price. The owner willingly complied as she put herself together (it was a whole workout just to get that piece). I had my eye on a turtle shell for $30. But I told myself I'd come back for it. I followed them on Ig and the shell kept calling my name. I figured, let me message them on Ig. If they can reduce the price even $5 I'd make the trek back. Hey, they did it for the young couple, it didn't hurt to ask. They said no. Pond turtle shells online start at $12. I figured, no biggie. I come in today to buy a gift card, some sage, palo santo, beard oil (up $3 since my last visit), a cool card for Father's Day coming up and alas my $30 turtle shell I intended to pay full price for. Or what I thought was $30. In a little over 4 mos the price inflated to $40. I mentioned it was $30 my last visit. I was perfectly willing this time to pay the $30 but what on earth constitutes a 33 % markup in just a season? I mentioned I could get them online for under $20 but I chose to come to the store and support local business. "You don't know if it's ethically sourced (from online)" they said. "And I don't know if this is ethically sourced either." I responded. The owner loudly barked "I'm not arguing with you." "Who's arguing with you?" What a weird response and made me feel pretty humiliated in front of their other customers especially given I still completed a transaction. Haggling, sharing information, and reminding them of my previous visit was hardly arguing. But hey. I initially intended to spend $100 today (on crap no one really needs unless you're Phoebe Buffay). I opted against buying the other items and just stuck with a gift card of $20. I'll buy the beard oil from Walgreens and earn points. And I'll buy the scent sticks from a similar Latin-owned business where the items will be cheaper and I'll feel more welcome. I'm not the target market here at Sideshow: I'm not Wiccan, im not a satanist, I'm not weird looking, I'm not white, I'm not goth, and I'm not holding on to a lost youth. If you fit any of those categories, perhaps your experience may be more fulfilling. Cool shop, fun concept but at the end of the day I don't need shoddy taxidermy displays, jewelry adorned with dead insects or any other knickknacks I can just as soon get online, for less. Especially not when the experience comes with pick-and-choose service. And particularly not when I'm coming far out of my way to spend money that doesn't come easy.
