The warmth of all the people. They were super accepting and treated me with an absolute golden experience. They did have an amazing selection of incense however I would have liked to see more cone or small stick incense there. Nonetheless it still is a total wonderful and pleasing experience. Being here and then leaving makes me feel like I am growing as a person. read more

I was in New Braunfels this weekend with a friend and she wanted to come check out this shop. This place was walkable from the shop and food market area so didn't need to find parking. The inside was set up nice. It was very clean and well organized will all their stones, candles, statues and more. I did like that they had little slips of paper of what the stone type is and what you can use them for (protection from negative energy/anxiety for example). Also if you didnt just want a stone, you can get bracelets, key chains and other stuff with the same stone. The ladies we spoke with were very nice and informative. We had quite a few questions and they were patient and explained what certain stones and scents can help with. Appreciated that they didn't judge us for not knowing certain things and were happy to help. They even were nice enough to hold our food we were carrying around. I did end up buying a nice scented candle with a few stones. My friend bought this nice scented spray (lavender scented to help with relaxing) and bracelets. Overall it was a pleasant experience and would recommend for folks to come stop by. Be aware depending what you want it can be pricy but the price seems common with other few shops I've been to. read more

I love this little house on the street that's a store and holy moly!!! The crystals are all beautifully laid out, and my daughter appreciated that all the crystals had a paper tag explaining that each crystal is used for. There's beautiful butterfly and moth displays all along the walls. They are breathtaking and reasonably priced as well. The lady helping us gave us a lovely run down of the store, and the services they provide! Will definitely be coming back! read more

Elizabeth, the owner is very personable and mingles amongst the customers to see if anyone needs help with choosing any of the products she has. This store is teeming with an array of crystals, metaphysical books, jewelry, tarot and oracle cards, incense , candles , you name it, if it is in the "witchy" category she probably has it or can get it. Depending what you're looking for the prices of items can fit any budget. I've been to a couple events that have been at the store (Sunday morning coven/candle making). My social calendar will include at least one event I will attend each month here. read more

Photo credit to my friend Tara, who introduced me to this place. We did a day trip to New Braunfels and The Empress was just 45 minutes south of South Austin. This house turned into a shop hosts The Empress and Altar Space inside. It is the most beautiful and quaint shop full of all the witchy things. The most abundant for me were the gemstones that came in every kind, cut and size! From jewelry to incense, candles, herbs, intention sprays, books, decor, altar brooms, anointing oils, teas, tarot decks, apparel, we spent a good hour doing laps to make sure we don't miss a thing! I really appreciate Tara introducing me to this gem. For those visiting, parking was adjacent in a parking lot directly next to the shop or if there is space you can parallel park on the side streets. read more

Love this shop! The energy is lovely. They have an excellent selection of stones and crystals, and a beautifully curated variety of herbs, candles, sprays, and other goods from local small businesses mixed in to their merchandise. The staff are friendly, kind and knowledgeable, and the store is very welcoming- very LGBTQIA+ friendly. They host classes and readers regularly, which you can keep up with on their Instagram page. They also have quarterly markets to celebrate solstices and equinoxes which are always a good time and a great chance to see some local vendors. read more
