Nestled at the bend of Elmwood Avenue, Witchy Woman World Apothecary and its various handmade products provide an opportunity to slow down and reflect. 

The shop is softly illuminated by candles and lamps and is cluttered with various flora and trinkets, setting a cozy atmosphere. 

Customers can buy natural bath, body and skin care products such as bath bombs, soaps, shower steamers and lip balm alongside anointing oils and candles typically used for rituals. All products are handmade in-house by the owner Sara Shaaban. 

Witchy Woman World Apothecary also hosts various events throughout the year focusing on community building. Every month, the store hosts an evening market featuring women-owned businesses, including diviners offering different readings, such as through tarot cards and tea leaves. The store also hosts events throughout the year celebrating different holidays such as Halloween and solstices.

Shabaan said she believes that a “hidden gem” invokes the sentiment she wants for the store. 

Whether looking for a nice gift, a space for self-discovery or a place to relax, Witchy Woman World Apothecary can provide that next magical experience for you.
