Entry No. 3 — the New York City file — filed under: witchy

Original Products Botanica

Established in 1959 (with roots going back to a 1930s Spanish Harlem shop), this is the largest botanica in the New York area, stocking more than 10,000 spiritual and occult items across traditions including Santeria, Ifa, Vodou, Wicca and folk Catholicism. The New York Times once called it a veritable home depot of spirituality. Beyond candles, baths, herbs, oils and saint statues, the staff of spiritualists offer in-person psychic readings and spiritual consultations.

The move: Wander the towering aisles of saint statues and ritual oils, then book a spiritual reading with one of the in-house consultants.

📍 Before you go Readings and spiritual consultations are best arranged by calling ahead; the shop is in Fordham, a Bronx subway ride from Manhattan.
