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.

Kidding - I think? Seriously though they tried to make us feel comfortable and suggested we spend some $ in the store. My wife did just to make sure we leave on good terms. If you don't call this authentic, I don't know what is? It's a shop filled with curiosities like shrunken boars head, horse skull, potion books, tons of chicken feet Im assuming for spell ingredients and of course a broom stick among plenty of other things. So if you want to step into Diagon alley for real? I dare you to visit.

This really is the best occult shop in town! They have an excellent selection of books, including…read morelimited editions, and any sort of occult supplies you might need. The staff is also very knowledgeable too, and really helpful when you need some advice on what to get or how to deal with a tricky magickal selection.

Almost missed it. It's tucked away. I went in with high expectations from seeing all the TikTok…read morevideos and reviews and stuff and I was really disappointed. The female sales associate was less than friendly. Didn't seem excited or cared that I saw their business on social media and drove 4 hours to see it. The other guy was helpful though. I was expecting ALL travel sizes though, not regular sizes too. That's fine. It was fun to look at. I felt obligated to purchase something. I felt like it was really overpriced though. A travel sized bottle of Kérastase for $20.99? No thanks! I'll buy the full size from the company and get that for free. Also, the store is very, very, small. It was nice to see it, but I highly doubt I'd ever go back.

If you've ever been inside a beauty supply store, you'll find this to be a poor imitation. For…read moreexample, they have an extremely narrow selection items of like clips, bobby pins, brushes, combs, scissors, and curlers/curling rods. And they're so overpriced. Moreover, I saw few, if any, wigs, makeup, styling tools, and hair dryers, or they were not prominently placed. The dye section consists of small shelf in the back with 1 or 2 brands, all permanent. Also the travel beauty supplies that they advertise on social media were nothing special. There were a lot of drugstore brands. Beauty supply stores are generally known for their variety and lower prices. Sally's and Target, you pretty much have all the same brands at a better price. Also nobody greeted or acknowledged me, except for a tight smile from a woman standing near the front. I was the only customer at the time. Another employee was trying to stock items in the back of the store where the travel beauty supplies are. It was awkward having someone work around you in such a narrow space, but not really acknowledging you, and they seemed kind of annoyed.

Decided to check out this spot & do 30 min tarot reading, the first 10 mins were great and she…read moreseemed legitimate. About 10 mins into the reading she told me there was a block & she wanted to "look into" the problem for $650. Which obviously turned me off. It started to feel like a complete scam. I also want to note that I've seen a fair share of psychics and mediums in the past and have had great experiences without feeling this way. Obviously I declined her offer but she continued to press & threw out random amounts hoping I'd agreed to paying an additional amount. It felt very intrusive & ruined the entire reading for me. she ended the reading quite abruptly after I declined and pretty much chased me out the door after I venmoed her for the reading. It wasn't until I was leaving that I noticed the reading only lasted about 15 minutes instead of 30 mins. I don't doubt her talents but the entire experience felt off putting. I would've been a return customer if it weren't for her hard sell halfway into my reading. I'm hoping it was maybe just an off day for her but regardless, that should never be how a reading goes for a first time customer.

The crystals and beaded necklaces were nice to look at, and there must've been 6 or 7 varieties of sage smudge sticks. They were playing nice music and burning nice incense. Unfortunately by the time I left my tongue tasted like soap from the incense. And I have to say it was quite off-putting to have so many different modalities rattled off that they supposedly specialize in - (psychic readings , reiki and I don't remember what all else) - I felt sure it was all a scam and not to be trusted. Which left yet another bad taste in my mouth because sick and suffering people should not be taken advantage of like that.
