If you believe in such superstitions, the veil separating our world and the metaphysical one thins on Halloween. It’s an ideal time to conjure La Llorona, curse the Texas Lege, or otherwise generally dabble in the world of witchcraft and occult practices. But which candles to light, which potions to mix, which rituals to conduct? The following shops across the state, some of which have been in operation for decades, help newcomers to the world of esoteric ephemera navigate the curios cabinet—and they sell everything you’ll need to conjure your own spells or set a spooky atmosphere.

Whether you’re seeking a new tarot deck, a psychic reading, healing herbs, or powerful crystals, these witchy Texas stores have you covered.

Austin

For cultural context: City Alchemist Witch Shop

This metaphysical shop located on Austin’s East Side is stocked with books, candles, crystals, powders, and occult ephemera needed for a range of rituals. You can also book a tarot reading or enroll in courses in Latin folk magic, Santa Muerte, Brazilian Kimbanda, and more for deeper context on the curios in the shop and their places in the spiritual practices of different cultures.

Corpus Christi

For folk healing: Tex-Mex Curios

Established in 1944, Tex-Mex Curios is the grandfather of all the occult shops on this list. It’s run by a third generation of faith healers trained in the folk practice of curanderismo. As such, the store offers authentic healing rituals performed by curanderos—including limpias, which cleanse individuals of negative energy—and the preparation of las reliquias to help attract love and positivity. The store also sells the candles, herbs, and medicines used in such services.

Dallas

For herbal remedies: The Labyrinth

At Dallas’s “oldest witches shop,” in the Lower Greenville neighborhood, hundreds of healing herbs await their places in your next tincture or potion. For nearly three decades, the knowledgeable staff of the Labyrinth have incorporated sage, valerian root, and other such flora into candles and soaps that address customers’ aches and pains, whether physical or metaphysical.

7 online occult stores for your magical needs

The online world of witchcraft can be as deeply shrouded in mystery as the practice itself. Websites that look like they haven't updated since 2003 seem to offer every type of herb, tarot deck, or crystal any aspiring or practicing witch could possibly need, but little to no sense of direction or explanation. The Internet may make it easier to explore witchcraft and even to find communities of witches online, but it can still be tricky finding all the supplies you may need if you don't live near an occult or metaphysical store.

Luckily, the Web may be a vast, unending maze, but that doesn't mean you can't find a few gems. These seven online stores will help you make some magic happpen, whether you're a beginner practitioner of the Craft, an expert spell-caster, or simply someone who wants to explore this art a bit more. Flip through and find out the supplies we're adding to our at-home apothecary.

10 Black-Owned Occult Brands Every Witch Should Know

You’ve heard of Black Girl Magic, but this is a different kind of Black girl magic.

It seems like everybody is a witch now—or at the very least, witchcraft, tarot, and taking inspiration from the cosmos is far more widely accepted than it used to be. Pop culture representation of witches varies from Sabrina in Sabrina the Teenage Witch to Samantha in Bewitched to the Halliwell sisters in Charmed to Marnie Piper in Halloweentown to the Good Witch of the North and the Wicked Witch of the West from The Wizard of Oz, but they all have one thing in common: They’re white (well, one was green, but you know she was white).

Black and Indigenous practitioners are often excluded from the witchy world, although they were first penalized for it, and many of their practices are often co-opted and appropriated. Whether it’s witchcraft, hoodoo or rootwork, voodoo, vodou, Santería, or juju, it’s important to acknowledge that many of these practices are culturally sacred, private, and require an invitation (even if you are Black).

So here’s to those who have kept their connection to magical traditions and to the many Black people reclaiming ancestral practices! These Black-owned botanica and metaphysical shops are so magical, they’d make Tituba proud…(you know, if she were actually a witch).

The pregnant witch symbolizes the magical journey of pregnancy and the anticipation of the arrival of a new life. The magic wand represents the power and wonder of creation and new beginnings. This cake topper is made from durable materials, ensuring that it can be kept as a keepsake after the celebration is over.

It is also customizable, allowing for personalization with names, dates, or additional decorations. Overall, the "Magically Expecting Cake Topper" is a charming and unique way to celebrate the joy of expecting a baby and create a truly magical atmosphere for the event..

Reviews for "Magical Expecting Cake Toppers: A Trendy and Whimsical Addition to Your Baby Shower"

1. Emma - 2 stars

I was really disappointed with the "Magically Expecting Cake Topper". The quality of the figurines was subpar - the paint was chipping off in some places and the faces were poorly sculpted. Additionally, the design was not as cute as it looked in the pictures. The pregnant fairy looked more like a weird blob and the wings were unevenly glued onto the body. Overall, I expected better craftsmanship for the price I paid. I would not recommend this cake topper to anyone looking for a magical and whimsical touch to their baby shower cake.

2. Michael - 1 star

First off, the packaging was terrible. The "Magically Expecting Cake Topper" arrived smashed and broken. It definitely did not survive the shipping process. Secondly, when I managed to put the broken pieces together, the cake topper looked very flimsy and unstable. The material seemed cheap and I was worried it would collapse and ruin the cake. The overall quality was extremely disappointing and I definitely won't be purchasing from this seller again.

3. Sarah - 3 stars

I wasn't too impressed with the "Magically Expecting Cake Topper". While it did add a cute touch to my baby shower cake, the colors of the figurines were not as vibrant as shown in the pictures. The pastel shades looked quite faded and dull. Additionally, the size of the topper was smaller than I expected, and it ended up looking a bit lost on top of the cake. It wasn't a terrible product, but I wouldn't repurchase or recommend it to others.
