Entry No. 30 — the Philadelphia file — filed under: botanica

Botanica San Lazaro

A working botanica in Kensington that gets fresh ritual plants delivered weekly — by its own claim one of the only shops in the city that does — alongside dried herbs, floor washes, baths, resin santo statues, and card readings for spiritual cleansing.

The move: Get a card reading done together, then pick out a saint statue and a bottled floor wash for the apartment — ask the staff what each scent is actually for, since every bottle here does something specific.
