Drove from DeKalb to check out this shop. They have a great selection in journals, herbs, tarot cards, statues, crystals, jewelry & charms, candles and books! The list goes on & on honestly. The staff was friendly, and very knowledgeable.

Always love coming in! The employees are very kind and helpful and it always smells so good inside! I walked out with way more than i intended to buy which is always a good sign in my books! Their crystal selection is fantastic and they have so many helpful books! I also love the soaps that they sell, and I always make sure to grab some when I visit! Well worth the drive, since I live in Indianapolis!

This is one of my regular stores now! I love this place and I love the vibe I get from it every time I walk through the doors. Their prices are really reasonable and every stone has an information card so customers are able to understand the healing properties behind each stone. I love getting my sage from this store and they have a wide variety of herbs and teas and anything someone interested in metaphysical stuff may want. I love the ladies who work here and I love hearing their stores and even advice that they are willing to always give. Thanks for always being great!

Great store with very helpful and friendly staff. Reasonably priced and they arent afraid to even tell you of other locations that may have something they dont at the time. They made a repeat customer today, I will definitely be back!

Took my daughters here for the first time and we were blown away by the sheer volume and assortment of all our witching needs. Best Magick store Ive seen in a long.

Excellent, the real deal and owners are passionate about magick. Good selection addressing different types of practitioners needs. Great prices as well.✨

I thought i really liked this place, but reflecting there’s a lot of issues. first off, “g*psy” is a slur towards Romani women, and to use it in your business name is disgraceful. please further educate yourself. and second, you carry and sell white sage, a closed practice to indigenous people. this store is not run by indigenous people, nor do i believe it is run by Romani women. as a metaphysical shop, i’d think they would be more on top of things and know better than to be so disrespectful to multiple cultures. if the name were to be changed and they were to stop carrying white sage, i would have no complaints.

A few weeks ago, I went to Gypsy Haven for the first time. I was absolutely blown away by everything they had available! I was like a kid in a candy store! I could’ve spent the entire day in there!

Review №13

Nice place. Only complaint is the name and certain items belonging to closed practices, but beyond that its actually well priced and doesnt gouge you out of pocket for supplies.

I’ve been in person once and it was great. However, I ordered some stuff online and I was disappointed. I ordered a rose quartz and rainbow moonstone and both were way smaller (especially the moonstone) then what they offer for the same price in store. My moonstone was about the size of a fingernail and didn’t even have any of that rainbow effect in it. The herbs I ordered were perfect, though.

I absolutely love this shop. Every time I visit, I find new treasures. Very welcoming and friendly staff and environment. Some of my favorite things were purchased at this shop. Beautiful collection of books, crystals, daggers, herbs, candles, etc. 5 stars, no doubt.

Review №19

I usually feel so anxious when I walk in, because I am new in my practice of spirituality and I don’t want to feel dumb (my anxiety doesnt help with the situation) but the workers always reach out to me so kindly and make me feel safe and apart of a community! My anxiety then starts to go away after connecting with the positive energy from the store. Great prices, great staff, and good vibes! Special thanks to the workers for helping me achieve my goals in my spiritual life:)

Review №21

The owners are super kind, helpful, and informative. If you have questions or need advice, Feather is the greatest resource. The two young ladies working there are also super sweet and helpful. Anything you may need can be found in this shop. Hands down the best pagan/witchcraft supply store Ive visited 🖤

Review №22

The best Pagan shop around. I love the owners, theyre very knowledgable and helpful. You really are missing out if you havent been here, in my opinion they are a major hub of the Pagan community in the Northwest Suburbs of Chicago. Ive been going there for years for not only my eclectic and esoteric needs, but also for the good conversation and discussion of the arcane. They have my highest recommendations!!!

HORRIBLE customer service . Hey I was getting ready to pay and they said I had to take things out of my back cuz I didnt have enough money and I had more than enough money to pay for the things I needed and then she said she didnt have time to educate me when I said what was this crystal. Then she put me to the side didnt let me pay and let people pay before me . IM SO MAD THIS IS NOT OKAY .

I loved the atmosphere and the amazing selection of herbs. Everything was perfect from the prayer book you can buy pages from down to the cashier making sure my glass was perfectly wrapped so it wouldnt break on my way home.

Review №32

My favorite Wicca shop! Im in here every other week for various herbs, crystals, and spell workings and have always felt welcome! As of recently, they hired new staff, who can be sweet, but overbearing especially when Ive said I dont need help with anything, and they still push and ask, or follow me around, but otherwise Shay and Feather are WONDERFUL. A beautiful store.

Review №33

The staff was super helpful and friendly! There are so many different things here from stones to herbs, they also offer tarot readings and other things as well. It had such an inviting enviorment. Definitely a spot you have to go to!!!

Review №34

I love the selection they have there and the staff is very helpful! Its about a 45 min drive for me to get there but its worth the drive. Once I discovered the place I fell in love with all their spices and herbs. The only thing I find that may be off putting is that when were are more employees then customers it seems like the staff hovers which when its your first time there can be overwhelming because youre just trying to take it all in. But Id rather them be over attentive then not attentive at all!

I’m in the beginning stages of my occult journey and I wasn’t very sure where to begin. Upon walking into the store the energy was amazing and then around the corner came the owner, and she introduced herself as Elizabeth. I received so much confirmation and guidance from Elizabeth, it felt like a much needed therapy session. They offer classes, host local artists, and more. It was a life changing experience, I will be back!!!

This little witch shop is truly a hidden gem. My friend showed it to me and I never would have found it otherwise. They have a wide variety of crystals, herbs, candles, books, tarot cards, etc. The owners are so helpful and kind. I had just suffered losing someone close to me the first time I visited here, and the woman who owns the store was very helpful and recommended me something for my situation. This store is beautifully laid out and decorated so that it is easy to shop and find just what youre looking for.

Staff is amazing and very helpful when asked. Supplies are always well stocked, and in good order. My one complaint is that there are less supplies and advanced ( for lack of a better term) supplies. Also (not really a criticism) there seems to be a catering to those who prefer premixed/packaged needs.

I am so happy I have found this place! They have so many great products that I was in awe. This time I left with a couple of crystals, but next time I plan on stocking up! The owners/employees were also super helpful and friendly and were so kind even after I had to turn around and return a couple of unpaid bracelets my toddler fancied, haha. I can’t wait to come back and see what’s new!
