Entry No. 26 — the Miami file — filed under: botanica

Botánica Yemaya & Chango

Serving Yoruba/Orisha practitioners since 1989, with ceremonial tureens, embroidered panuelos, ankle-bead ilekes, snake oil, and religious dolls lining the shelves — a working-class botanica, not a curated crystal shop, with a 4.6-star, 150-review following.

The move: Pick out a set of orisha-color beads or a bottle of ritual oil each, then get the staff (bilingual, described by regulars as unusually knowledgeable) to explain what they're actually for.
