The owner is not "spiritual' in the least, and she knows about astrology, say she she might. I used to go here for years and really liked the vibe and the people, but that's been lost, and I don't buy my candles here anymore. No need to give business to people, who are unkind. Good luck with that.
Cons: No loving vibe here

I recently had a very good experience here. I was treated very well when I asked for a carved candle, and everyone was happy to answer questions. I could have stayed for hours looking at everything. Beautiful black cats live there too!
Pros: Knowledge, supplies

Enchantments is definitely changing its vibe. I didnt have such a pleasant experience when Joe was around. I felt it was much heavier and" clichish" back then. It was his presence and left centered Eqyptian magick then which made me feel uncomfortable. I feel it is a different place now. You can ask any question about wicca, santeria, other disciplines, and get a good answer. The presence of the Goddess is at Enchantments so it makes people acquainted with a strong, female otherwordly vibe feel right at home. If you are working with that energy and love candles, incense, oils, books, secret knowledge, jewelry you'll love this store. There is good service there. I usually see Kat or Ricky for candles. They are both quite knowledgable. The cats are so cute in the store too.
Pros: Goddess energy( both light and dark), great value, the only magickal shoppe inNYC, cats , real appeal for "real wiches", great variety
Cons: More selection with the books and jewelry

I've heard lots about this place going under since Joe and friends left the store, but really... aren't we glad? I dont know about the other customers, but man was Joe a sketchy dude! I am in my late 30s and have been involved in different groups and have studied the occult most of my life and I enjoy the store!
The new young staff can be a little too much somethimes but these young ladies and gentleman are real. I have had readings from them and I was surprised how someone half my age was able to help me! My friends are frequent clients to these young witches! They still blend up a storm for those in need and will deliver the goods all you have to do is meet them with respect and strength, for these "kids" (thats what some in the pagan community call them) will impress you with their book smart knowledge and experiences. These kids help the pagan community everyday. So lets help them. Lets be grateful that we still have this place here in nyc.
Pros: Every oil, incense, herb and candle lives here
Cons: it is no longer a book store

It's not the same since they fires Joe, and with him Jezabelle.... the magic is gone in their absence along with their love of the community as well as openness to strangers. It's no longer enchanting. I don't go there anymore when I visit NY.

I have seen this store since I moved to new york 12 years ago and decided to try the tarot card reading this year. It was mediocre, short, and lack of insight for the price.
I really wanted to like this place but something was missing and it was quite disappointing.

Enchanments was once the one, true magickal supply shop to visit in New York City. It's been around so long, and their selection of products and friendly staff was so good, you wouldn't consider going anywhere else even if there were an option. These days the number of books and periodicals they carry has seriously diminished, so you should look for those resources elsewhere. And while their selection of herbs is solid, sometimes you can find a better selection or fresher merchandise next door at Angelicas. That said, they are still a fantastic resource for magickally formulated oils, a good selection of candles (precarved and not), incense, jewlery and magickal tools. They're also still friendly and still run classes and workshops for beginners, and have fabulous shop cats. It's just no longer one-stop shopping.

It is a little occult shop on a side street in the village but on the inside you will find lots of books on New age, Magic and astrology, crystal balls and pendulums, and crystals for wearing and decoration. They sell incense and herbs and anything and everything you need to cast a spell or make your house smell nice. The staff is very friendly and can read your Tarot Cards if interested. They also have classes and book signings. Sign up for their newsletter for updates.

I've had my cards read at Enchantments which is a witchcraft and pagan suppl shop on 9th Street between 1st and A. The back room where they do the readings isn't picturesque, but the reading was lengthy and insightful and no attempt was made to predict doom and gloom and hustle me out of money. I was very pleased, and found it helpful.
If you are not pagan/wiccan/ etc., the environment of the store might be slightly intimidating, but they're not into any particular dark magic there, and they have some great shop cats.
For those into such things, their book selection, candle and tool selection is good, although I find I can get fresher herbs elsewhere and don't always find what I want when looking for more specific books. I've had good results with their magical oils, but I find them a bit general to my tastes. It's an excellent shop for beginners and a good shop to visit periodically in general, as they are one of the hubs of magickal stuff in NYC.
