I had a reading with Magda at Holy Rose and left feeling extremely uncomfortable. The session quickly turned negative, and I was told I had a curse that needed to be removed. I was then pressured to pay $200 for a "curse removal." As a single mom barely making it, this felt insensitive and exploitative. Instead of feeling supported or spiritually guided, I felt targeted and pressured to spend money out of fear. I believe spiritual services should empower people, not scare them into paying for expensive add-ons. This experience did not feel ethical or supportive, and I would not recommend to anyone. On a side note I had to go else where to be cleansed because ever since I was in contact with her my life has been in shambles. read more

It's a nice shop as far as selection of metaphysical supplies goes. Too many "don't touch" rules makes it feel weird for me though. Overall, the strict rules and owners unprofessional responses to reviews left me unimpressed. read more

Love the place and how they have everything set up. Only problem in here is parking. Price for candles are a bit high in price. Love the tea selection that they have. The service is good they are very attentive and friendly. A interesting place to visit. read more

The Holy Rose - Spiritual Shop Near Me - Raleigh, North Carolina

I really enjoyed visiting this store in these covid times. They limit the amount of people in the store at one time. And they ensure that each person entering the store has on a mask. They also greet you at the door with sanitizer and a masked smile. My main purpose for going was to pick up a few crystals and they have a great selection of those. There are also candles, books, jewelry and other things along those lines. The workers were friendly and very helpful both times I've visited. I have no doubt I'll return. read more

The candle and crystal selection in this store is amazing! And the people are so kind and helpful. This is my go-to store for everything Wicca. read more

The coolest crystal shop I've ever been to! I heard about it back in 2020 and was disappointed to find out you had to be 18 to enter, so the first thing I did when I turned 18 was drive up and go! Because of COVID only a few people were allowed to be in the store at a time, so there was a bit of a wait, but it wasn't a big inconvenience. The workers were SO sweet and they had the coolest stuff ever. I think the only issue I had was actually finding the place but besides that it was amazing! Will definitely be returning. read more

The Holy Rose - My spiritual haul - Spiritual Shop Near Me - Raleigh, North Carolina

My sister and I came in just to look because the inside looks so cool. They're super strict on COVID rules just because of how tiny a shop it is. A lady sprayed our hands with alcohol and told us if we touched any crystals we need to let them know so they can sanitize it. (Which is amazing because crystals are touched so much and it's gross) I bought some chime candles and two books. Everyone was super cool and nice! They even have a large goddess altar, which was awesome to see! Definitely will come here when I'm in Raleigh and need herbs (they have a huge collection). read more

As I walked through the door, I was greeted with a friendly welcome and a smile. They were happy I came in and feel free to ask any questions. I was looking for a a special shape in Lapis. I did walk around and take in all the different items on display. This is a very complete store. They do have most everything you would be looking for. If you don't see it , just ask. The staff is very friendly and attentive to you. They are sincere and kind . I found my visit very informative and came away with my special shaped gem. I would recommend them if you are in need of the mystic, Wicca, readings, seeing, etc. They have it all and very friendly staff with knowledge. read more

If I could give zero stars to this store I would. I drove an hour to specifically go to this store. Once I actually found the location of the store, I was stopped within minutes of entering. I was finishing up a long distance phone call and I was told I couldn't talk on my phone. I had never heard of such a thing before. There wasn't a sign outside of the store saying no phone use while in the store. Instead of hanging up on the call I decided to finish my call outside. Then I realized it was not the vibration I wanted to be part of any longer. I had read about other negative reviews about this store before going. I should have taken that as a sign. I would NOT recommend this store to anybody! I will definitely not go back to that store. read more

LOVE this store! They provide spiritual and a little "not so spiritual" items. The jewelry is awesome and the vibes are uplifting! The store smells enchanting! They are soooooo much more pleasant, helpful, intelligent and informed than Dancing Moon! A great place to go! read more

The people leaving bad reviews on this store feel like they're entitled to do whatever they want and get their feet kissed. Don't pay attention to them, seriously. If you're serious about crystals and ceremonial supplies, this is a good option. Their prices are fair, the staff are very respectful and friendly, and they have an excellent selection. They are happy to help and answer questions and you can tell they are excited about this stuff! Remember, you get the energy you give. Respect their policies or simply go somewhere else. read more

NO TAKING VIDEOS OR PICTURES! They politely told me after I had made a video of the beautiful crystals haha! They have a bunch of things from oil, incense, crystals, crosses and voodoo dolls. Very nice shop, purchased myself some Florida water. For parking I would suggest a near by garage. Street parking seems like a huge hassle and streets are narrow. read more

I came here over the weekend on my vacation and was treated terribly by the rude staff. Followed, sneered at, and I asked a question about a few crystals and the response was so cold and weird I decided to walk out. I should have read the reviews beforehand because it checks out with the other bad reviews that this isn't a one off experience. Decided to go to Dancing Moon instead. Avoid this place, it didn't even feel good when I went in there. read more

As visitors from out of state we looked up the Holy Rose before going there. We were highly impressed. I went with my daughter (who is into this magical world) and were welcomed by an employee who told us to ask any questions we had. The staff was helpful and kind and the store was beautifully adorned. We ended up buying crystals, books, candles, a tarot deck and jewelry. I highly recommend The Holy Rose!!! Thank you for a wonderful experience. read more

First of all, before you enter the shop, be mindful of the rules. If you leave a bad review after the owners tell you to leave because you are in violation of said rules, I diagnose you as whiny baby. There is a reason why this certain store has them, since it's an occult shop that performs readings, has (very!) delicate objects, and has an in-house black cat that roams around the store. No children under 18: wouldn't want to pay hundreds of dollars when your child knocks over a very expensive amethyst cathedral? Your toddler has a loud temper tantrum and starts being disruptive? The kid runs amok and cries because they were bothering the black cat and scratches them? Well, the owners don't want to deal with any of that either and it has happened too much to the point that the owners don't want to have to deal with that. Just don't bring them. No phones: The store is meant to be a quiet and peaceful location from the hustle and bustle of Raleigh, almost like a quiet library. Nobody wants to hear your phone or your conversations. Just take them outside, simple as that. No pictures: invasion of privacy as you could be taking pictures of people in the background. In reality, this rule is to protect YOU. Following said rules will actually give you a nice experience with the store itself and maybe a pet or two with the store cat (if he lets you). The people who work here are very friendly and are more than happy to help you with anything they can. Come with respect or don't come at all. read more

I've never encountered a staff so rude in my entire life. I spent 20 minutes waiting for parking in their tiny cobble stone street, where I struggled to parallel park bc of no space. Then got turned away at the door. Claiming that I might break something, and that "some customers don't have money." I'm from Winston, out of town visiting, drove 30 minutes across Raleigh, never been here, dressed well, and also have money? I'm truly disgusted with this establishment. He said, "I'm sooo sorry" to me. With the most stinging bite I couldn't believe what I heard. Especially considering I had walked in the door only moments before. Don't buy anything from here as I'm sure it's been charged with awful energy and hateful vibes. Hateful, skinny white guy with longish black hair, and his rude co worker, some white girl with dry, BLOWN OUT died black hair, can go f themselves. Grab a giant cactus quartz and get after it. I vehemently regret spending time with this establishment. Again, DO NOT COME TO THIS PLACE. UPDATE- I was sent a terribly rude email by this dumb place (Jennifer R.) telling me to take this review down. That I was yelling in the store. Absurdity. Tell your impulsive animals that you call employees to check their attitudes at the door. What if my wife was right around the corner and I could have simply given my son to her? Then came back in. Or maybe came back at a later date? Ohhhh you didn't think about that did you??? You decided to be rude and dismissive in the most proud, snobbish manner the instant I walked in the door, and the moment you emailed me. You guys really know how to get what you want huh? Customers, money, good reviews. Now watch me take this review down.....you watching? read more

I should have looked at the reviews before I went here. I've never had a bad vibe in a crystal shop but this one I did. The place is very pretty inside but the people are rude and unhelpful. As soon as I walked in I felt unwelcome. I wanted to take pictures so I could show my friend but they're very strict. If you want to go to a good crystal shop I suggest going to the dancing moon :) read more

Fantastic selection, but the staff was so rude that we left our purchases on the counter. Our family came from Virginia to visit this shop. I was looking forward to it. My daughter and I entered while my husband and 16-year-old son parked the car. When my husband and son entered behind me and my daughter, my son was told no one under 18 was allowed. Fine. My husband took our son to sit on the bench in front of the store. As we came up to pay, the young man at the counter began to get very irate. Why? Because my son and husband were sitting on the bench in front of the shop. My daughter pointed out that they were just waiting, at the which point the young man announced her "threatening". As a Pagan, I don't want to deal with men who find women threatening. Just plain bad vibes all around. And it's a shame. read more

DO NOT GO HERE. Horrible service. One associate was nice enough, but I was berated by another worker who lied to my face saying that he saw me "touch a stone" and that I would need to re-sanitize my hands (for COVID19 protocol). Re-sanitizing is not an issue, I however touched NOTHING in this store. I'm not sure why this person would feel the need to lie and say they saw me touch something when that is not the case. Obviously I did not give them any business from this point on, and I encourage others do the same. There are MUCH better crystal shops in the area that do not employ rude liars that are hostile to customers. read more

Really disappointed by the front desk staff at holy rose. I've frequented Holy Rose multiple times for stones and any of my other spiritual needs but today I went in with some co-workers and the guy automatically profiled us and after laughing at nothing that pertained to the store we were told to get out and threaten to call the police on us. I'm sorry to this individual who maybe didn't like our energy and to profile us people who were there to disrespect the store but I will not be going to holy Rose and will change my spiritual store needs to dancing moon. You've lost a valued customer and someone who highly recommended your store to others. read more

What an awesome establishment! I had seen this store online when searching for metaphysical shops but it was over an hour away from my residence. I said when I was in the area I would check it out. Well, I was in the area, stopped in and I will be making the drive again often. Rose was a doll and extremely personable. Her staff were just as friendly and eagerly assisted me with finding the perfect items for my needs. I cannot wait to go back. read more

First time visit! Great experience and knowledgeable staff. They were extremely helpful. Definitely going back.

One word....amazing! I was traveling to North Carolina; from Virginia. I found the shop on Yelp and decided to make the stop. The shop did not disappoint. I received a warm friendly welcome as I walked through the door, to a smiling "come visit us again" salutation as I was leaving. The shop has a little but of EVERYTHING! I will be sure to visit again the next time I'm in N.C. read more

Definitely a disappointment. Traveling from Maryland to attend this shop and was turned away from even entering due to have a newborn in a sling. Their policy is no admittance for anyone under 18 including babies strapped to the body. A business model I can't get behind whatsoever. Will lose my business for life. read more

My second visit was even better than the first. This is one of the most interesting metaphysical stores, I have been in. I adore the glass pillar candles. I enjoyed the staff and I was given superior customer service. read more

The Holy Rose - Spiritual Shop Near Me - Raleigh, North Carolina

Definitely the place to go for all your spiritual needs! The store is honestly a blessing! They have everything that you need and want, they have a very wide variety of gemstones and herbs as well as oils and inks! The owner wasn't in when I went, but the cashier that was on shift was wonderful, she was a huge help!! The rules are posted for several reasons. It's pretty clear to me that children shouldn't be allowed into the store because they clearly won't listen to all of the signs(there are plenty and not everything can be touched/opened) so all the people who wrote one star reviews for that reason alone need to get it together. Also they have a store cat named Bastian if I'm not mistaken and he is very sweet!! Will definitely be going back for more needed items! read more

First of all, I drive from Greensboro NC to this metaphysical store because it's one of the best I've ever been to, and I've been to a lot. Crystals are reasonably priced for high quality stones and you can be sure the crystals are actually real & what they say they are unlike other metaphysical stores in the area. The quality of supplies is also top tier, from incense to herbs. Other reviews saying the shop has bad vibes are 100% incorrect. All employees are kind, helpful and knowledgeable. I also personally think the no cell phone rule is a really wonderful idea, considering the purpose of the space! Someone using the altar or someone with anxiety isn't going to want to hear your personal phone calls. All over wonderful store, I love coming here! read more

Lovely little store! Wide variety of crystals big and small, lots of books and candles, and a great tarot/oracle deck selection! Bonus: there's a kitty! read more

Since my children are spending some time with their grandparents my husband and I were lucky enough to be able to visit The Holy Rose. Yes, folks, only children of a certain age are allowed in this establishment and that is a brilliant move on the owner's part. Even the most well behaved children can be loud, hyper, and grabby. None of those things would be appropriate in the calm atmosphere that has been created here. And I say that as a mother! I consider my children very well behaved but know how easy it is for a child to get excited and loud. That's what they do! So I would urge you to find a kid-free moment and visit because I promise it's worth it! The shop is lovely and positively bursting with magic and vibrating with great energy. I am so happy I found out about this place and I'm hoping to be back soon! read more

I had a very off vibe in this shop but wasn't sure if it was just my anxiety. After reading these comments, I think my feelings were correct. The crystals were gorgeous (obviously) but I just felt like I needed to leave. read more

I visited several weeks ago. They've got a wide array of metaphysical products and herbs that might be hard to find elsewhere. Their handmade candles are beautiful. I bought a few 7 day candles and they are so pretty with glitter. There are rules and signage everywhere, ie Please do not touch. Also what I found odd was that they are trying to create a peaceful atmosphere with no kids or cell phones yet when I was there the clerk was playing a guitar rather loudly. It kind of ruined the ambiance. Overall I really liked the shop and I thought it was lovely and very well done decor wise. If you're a cat person like I am, the resident kitty is very friendly and lovable. I will definitely be visiting again the next time I am in Raleigh. read more

I got a "compliment" via the owners (I think?) on my previous negative review regarding being barred from entry because of my infant (non-crazy, completely contained in baby carrier). The message went something like this: "We're sorry you are personalizing the rules of the store. You're welcome to come back." MEGA passive aggressive response. Just NO. Also, no rationale at all about the rule. I really want to know. Will the voodoo hurt my fledgeling? Is there fear that my infant will summon poop demons? Is the age old addage about witches eating children true, and they're just concerned for the safety of my progeny? Do they just not want my kid to break stuff? The latter is most likely, but that's OK because I'll just take my kid to another store where they a) won't break shit and b) I'll blow my paycheck on crystal balls. read more

To think I almost came here to find some positive energy stuff, holy crap these nasty responses sent me elsewhere. The owner attitude itself invalidate anything "positive energy" wise. read more

We went to City market event this afternoon, we found The Holy Rose Shop very unique store and interesting. They have really cool witch craft figurines, magnetic balls / stones, decorative ornaments, herbs/spices. I'm not familiar or educated to what they're selling but surely it's very interesting. You have to go there and see it yourself. The lady owner was helpful and knowledgeable explaining what stones it represents, it gives all kinds of energy depending what you're getting. I bought a cool bracelet with skulls in it and I love it. They have all kinds of witch stuffs, and they have wands too, it just think this store store is worth a visit!!! Will definitely go back again and check their cool items. read more

This is the most peaceful and beautiful shop I've ever been in. The combination of great decor (creative interior design, a beautiful shrine), a subtle but nice rose-y smell, and the friendliness of the owners just makes you instantly feel happy when you walk in the door. I'll take any excuse I can get to go there, because it's just such a pleasant place to be. The Holy Rose also has an extremely well-curated selection of items for people from a variety of spiritual paths. They've got everything from saint candles, to regular candles, to pagan items, to herbs, to books on all sorts of spiritual topics. But even if you're not into any of that, it's still worth a visit for their great selection of original artwork; the painting I bought there is probably my favorite piece of art in my entire house. In short, this place is worth a visit for anyone who is ever in the Raleigh vicinity. If you're looking for a spiritual-related item of some sort, there's a good chance they've got it. And if you're just having a bad day and want to visit a store that will lift your spirits, this is the place! read more

So, being completely objective , this shop has some major pros and cons . I want to absolutely love the shop and, for full transparency, I've definitely recommended it to others. BUT...it comes with a big "but." First, the pros . It has a very nice selection with a fair amount of product diversity . The prices are reasonable compared to similar shops in the area and, generally speaking, it has a better selection of goods then similar local shops. The atmosphere is quite nice. However, the cons are pretty big cons. The most obvious one is that no one under 18 is allowed inside. Not your baby in a carrier , not your respectful pagan teenager, no one under 18. It didn't bother me until I began to read the responses on social media by the owner to parents who complained. Granted, it was hard for me to find the chance to go because I had to find time that I was off of work and able to have a sitter , but I initially thought that the atmosphere was worth the trade off of inconvenience. Then I read the social media clap backs. They consistently struck me as unprofessional and not in keeping with the vibe of the store. So, though I personally have never had anything but pleasant experiences there, it was so off putting that I began to feel differently about the atmosphere and their minor policy. There are ways to appropriately and professionally address negative reviews and customer complaints . The responses I have seen several times now are not it. There are other metaphysical shops with good product selections . I'm totally fine to travel a little outside of the immediate area for a place that feels genuinely welcoming to everyone and does not meet negative reviews with snarky clapbacks read more

First time costumer and I am hooked. This is truly a one stop shop... from Wicca, Herbal, Witchcraft to Spiritual and Buddhist supplies and all your ceremonial needs. Stones galore and even a decent size collection of books with a quiet little section for reading and even meditating. To top it off the Owners (only assuming from my impression, not sure) were extremely helpful and informative. They even threw in a little something extra during my purchase. My only quarrel would be that it was slightly... just slightly pricier, but i got over it quickly after i realized the quality of their items were top notch. Specially the stone collection. Will definitely recommend. read more

I've been to a lot of metaphysical stores in my life. This is up there with the least imaginative, least unique, and worst customer service. Rude staff. Overpriced stuff. Feels kitschy in a bad way. Dancing Moon is a much better place for your spiritual needs imho. read more

Karen and John are both very amazing and kind people of this establishment. They're both helpful and I have had the pleasure of being acquainted with them for such a short amount of time that I've been to the store on several occasions. Hopefully I can visit them again in the future and Bastian as well. The selection of books is diverse and the oils smell beautiful. I believe there is a little something for everyone if they only look for it. read more
