The Holy Rose has been everything to me since 2017 when a friend brought me to it after a horrible break up. I stepped inside and felt my first bit of calm in weeks. Ever since then, this has been my go to for incense, candles, crystals, tarot, and a happy conversation. This store gives off kind, calm, wonderful energy. I’m so thankful for it. The staff are all amazing, and the products are high quality. The conversations I’ve had, and peace I’ve found within this store are things I’ll cherish forever. 100/10 ❤️❤️❤️

If you went when they were on the square, its a different place in all the best ways. Much lighter environment - in every way. So much more to see. Your pagan / Wiccan necessities with a dash of metaphysics and art. If there was a coffeehouse here, Id hang out all day as interesting, eclectic, and kind people circled through. A good way to circle the square.

I’ve been to The Holy Rose several times now and have enjoyed every visit. There are a vast array of unique items for sale. There are several gorgeous crystals that are actually affordable! I would recommend this store to anyone interested in crystals, witchcraft, or any other spiritual ventures.

If I could give this lovely place 100 stars, I would! It is not often that one finds a retail store that feels like a home away from home but this shop certainly does. From the moment I stepped through the doors, I felt welcomed and loved! Mama Rose and the rest of the darlings are all incredibly kind, generous, and very knowledgeable. Theres always something new and beautiful to see and everyone is always supremely helpful. Whatever your interests are, youre sure to find something to sparkle your eye, tickle your fancy, or take you to another realm!

Wonderful business! Their book selection is fantastic and prices on tools are great! The staff are very welcoming and helpful. I could spend all day in there, but Id leave with half of the store! My partner took me for my birthday and they are supportive of my practice, but not involved in it. Even they found a book they were interested in and bought! We both left the store much lighter and happier, and I think the wonderful experience here may have piqued my partners interest in the metaphysical and occult. :) thank you for a great experience! I recommend this place to everyone.

First time going!!! I took my teen daughter and we loved this jem. Everyone there was super nice and knowledgeable. But our favorite was the “Wonder Woman” tattoo lady!!! She checked in on us and was so patient with me asking a lot of questions. Will be making this my regular spot. Thanks guys ❤️

This is an amazing shop! The selection available is great and very extensive. All of the staff were so kind and helpful during my visit and they had some items that I had not been able to find elsewhere. Definitely recommend this shop for all your metaphysical needs. I will visit again soon! :)

I frequent 2 shops that I love In this community, and the holy rose by far has the most vast selection of products. I’ve always loved coming here and I cannot stress enough to people not to take these reviews to heart. This is a wonderful shop. If ever I have a real true need and I can’t find it anywhere else, this place delivers. And the staff is ALWAYS warm. I like how everyone keeps mentioning specific shops in comparison with THR in these reviews, as if it doesn’t just spread the notion of gossip among the community. All reading that did was make me NOT want to go anywhere near these shops for engaging in it. If you don’t like a rule, just don’t go in to that shop and be happy going into your current one. The holy rose has literally always had the under 18 rule on both their website and their door outside. Working in customer service myself, I cannot stress to you how annoying it is when people don’t pay attention to these things. I put a sign up at times when we have a break and literally watch people sit there and pull on the locked door and beat on it and ignore a sign right in front of their face. If I owned the shop, I’d call them out too. I knew before my first visit that minors weren’t allowed in outside of designated days, so this place became my fun “mama’s day out” shop and it is well worth the visit. I have another shop I go to if I really have a strong need and can’t arrange anything for my kids. It’s really as simple as that.P.S. - owners are 100% allowed to speak up for themselves. The customer isn’t always right, contrary to popular belief. If you blatantly ignore a posted guideline and then come and complain about it, you’re wrong. And being addressed for it isn’t cruelty.

Ive been a time or two. Good vibe. Wonderful staff. Very interesting selection. Will definitely be back when time permits.I am going to add that its pretty obvious that1. Store policies are both very clear and rigorously enforced.2. The reviews are pretty telling. The owner isnt going to take your flak if you fail to comprehend either part of #1 and decide to get nasty online.3. The core clientele, quite a few of whom Ive known for ages, is rather happy with both #1 and 2. If you arent? Just.. go some place else. No ones going to break the rules for you.Im here for it. Its refreshing to know that the owner and staff take their space seriously. Ive been in the service industry for a long time. Im always glad to frequent an establishment that looks out for the best interests and safety of the staff and clientele, especially in the midst of a pandemic.

Anyone who says the ladies there are rude are crazy. I felt so welcomed when I walked in. I got the help I needed and the many questions I had, they didn’t get aggravated.

Great store with a lot of good energy. Amazing staff and didn’t wanna leave! (Edit: review before did not do justice) This place was so amazing I went twice in a day and my girlfriend even wants to visit once more this week before she leaves. All staff is amazing and kind. They helped me find something meaningful for my mother. I loved the selection as someone newly getting into crystals I felt welcomed and at peace in this establishment.

I took my daughters here. They are 8 and 12. They stopped us at the door because they were under 18. Never will go back ever!! How can you turn kids away that want to just look and buy some crystals?? We went to Dancing Moon where a very nice lady works I won’t mention her name. She used to work at Holy Rose. After talking with her I now see why she left. Whoever owns or works for a place that doesn’t allow kids under 18 for no reason other than cause they can, I feel sorry for your kids. I will never recommend or go back here to this concentration camp. Go to Dancing Moon they are awesome and interact with kids that wanna learn and gain knowledge.

Folx here are super nice and very helpful. Store has a more personal feel than a lot of other metaphysical shops who just feel like the front end of a catalog. Staff took good care of me, even helped me find local restaurants.

Vibe was okay, but they are reallyyyyy overpriced. I do like that they don’t allow children into the store, as I don’t think children should be going into any store like this because they can easily break things. I do think they overcharged me on some of the crystals since they don’t have a tag. no photos are allowed in the store which is understandable but I wish I could have taken pictures of the descriptions of things to use for reference. you can get the same stuff for a lot less at some other stores. it was a pretty decent experience though!

Its beautiful and has almost anything you would need. They have crystals, incense, jewelry, mortar and pestles, journals, books, tarot cards, wands, candles, and much more. They still require you to wear a mask to enter and you must be 18 to enter as well. They dont allow photography inside. The people that work there are super friendly and knowledgeable. I highly recommend checking this place out.

Ive gotta say this is the best store Ive ever been in in my entire life. I absolutely loved it, the people are amazing and very helpful, the atmosphere is amazing. I left the store today feeling so happy and refreshed. Im so happy to finally have found yall. I cant wait to come back!!!

I love this place and have to go here all the time. Shanna is the best and helps me with anything I need! If it wasnt for this store I wouldve had to move or burn my house down 😁😁

This is a great hidden gem. Friendly staff...very knowledgeable and helpful. Im in here weekly to purchase stones for my business.

First time visiting from New Orleans and I instantly fell in love. The Mary altar called me over right away and I was overwhelmed with emotion. It’s quiet atmosphere was just what I needed. The ladies working that day were extremely helpful and kind. I also liked their shop policies and the attention to cleanliness. It made the space feel serene and like I could shop in peace. Ultimately, my new favorite spot in Raleigh.

My son is a regular and always raves about The Holy Rose. I finally visited with him and instantly loved this establishment. Everyone is knowledgeable and professional. There is something for everyone looking to add to their spiritual life ✨

Everyone here is so knowledgeable and kind! I always feel welcome and appreciated when I come into the store and they are always revamping their inventory. Super excited to see what comes in next!

As a new comer to NC when I found this store I fell absolutely in love as one of my priorities was finding a spiritual store for my spiritual needs. However I learned something new today. I was turned around because I had my 1 month old infant with me. Now I get do to the delicacy of why they don’t allow “children” but I have a WHOLE BABY. What is she going to touch or get into. Make a sign next time so people don’t waste their time and energy coming to this store though generally I don’t bring my 6 of 11 yr old with me when I come to such stores but a damn BABY, INFANT BABY! Honestly turned me off and will not be returning customer going further.

Excellent selection, ambiance, and employees. Everyone is helpful and accepting and the store is always clean and well organized. Every time I have shopped here I have felt welcome and safe.

Ive been visiting the store since 2018 when it was in its previous location. I went there knowing only that from my apartment it stood out as the most interesting looking building on the street. It was a thrill just to wander around in a store that felt like some den of iniquity that Indiana Jones might have visited to check the validity of an obscure dagger or pendant.I quickly found the staff so likeable and helpful that in addition to buying things I would visit regularly just to chat with them. Ive bought a good number of books there in my search to understand more about occultist practices or broaden my awareness of the abilities many people dont realize they have. Ive also bought statues (they have a gorgeous selection), stones (gifts for friends or loved ones), sage and even 4 iron stakes when I was moving into a new house and wanted make sure it was as protected from the dead as the living.Ive had a reading from John, I plumped for the more expensive option, it was well worth it and its left me with things to puzzle over 2 years later.Ive asked a few odd questions there and always been provided with an answer that demonstrated a wide breadth of knowledge lay beneath the quiet, friendly exterior of each person that works there, much like the owners themselves.So Id highly recommend it, sometimes its worth exploring new things.

The Holy Rose was an amazing place to visit with very helpful employees. During this crazy time, I felt extremely safe because of the cleanliness of the store. They have so much in their store and just going in made me feel very peaceful. It was my first time visiting and I brought my mom who lives in Florida. She loved it! She’s already told me she would like to visit again when she comes back up. Such a great selection and very knowledgeable employees. Thank you!!!

Miss Rose and her beautiful team run a perfectly organized, full scale shop for the modern spiritual. Books, stones, herbs, candles, and warm service and kindness are a specialty here. The team takes care to ensure the physical safety and health of guests, including appropriate covid protocol, and creating a safe space for all practices.

The Holy Rose is such a good place to go if you have any questions on crystals and spirituality. The shop is set up beautifully and they have wide assortments of incense, crystals, candles, and more! I was very thankful because of how considerate they were to COVID-19 protocols. The employees are also very kind and helpful. I personally went to find crystals so I could attract more self love, meditate, and manifest with. They will definitely have any crystal you are looking for. I will 100% be returning and recommending this store to others!!!

I have been to numerous stores over the years that specialize in all things metaphysical, new age, witchcraft and other esoteric practices, but this is the first shop of that kind I can honestly say is welcoming. From the moment you walk into the brightly lit, bustling, shop, you are greeted by helpful and attentive staff. I didnt feel shy about asking about things, which has been the case in similar stores. No pretension here! They also are extremely knowledgeable about the items they sell, which includes a spectacular assortment of crystals and gems, as well as jewelery, books, candles, herbs, home decor and other items for rituals and whatnot. No matter of you are merely interested in rocks and making your home smell good, or use them in your ritual practice I think you will find it is a special shop matter of you are merely interested in rocks and making your home smell good, or use them in your ritual practice I think you will find it is a special shop. Lastly, I greatly appreciated that they are doing their best to keep the clients and themselves safe during the pandemic.

The reviews from the “children” is laughable. I travel all around the US for work and this shop will always be my favorite. I will go out of the way to be able to stop in. This is a special place filled with special things, owned and operated by special people. I have had nothing but positive experiences each and every visit (even the Kitty is welcoming ❤️)It’s a shop filled with beautiful crystals. Could all of these “negative experiences” you “Karens” seem to have be a result of something repelling your ugly or malicious souls? 🤔Try entering someone else’s space peacefully, respectfully, and quietly and I bet your experience will be different.

I love this store! Cool stuff. Everything you want in a metaphysical store! The staff is friendly and knowledgeable. Shana is THE BEST. They also are taking COVID seriously and as I am immunocompromised I really appreciate that fact.

Rose is a really mean. I don’t understand why she owns a spiritual shop. They don’t allow children under 13 into the store although THE DANCING MOON & MAGIK CRAFT in Durham do. Rose is known around the spiritual community for having a attitude problem . First impression is always a lasting impression. Won’t be coming back.

I live in the land of hippie crystal shops now but wish I could stroll around the Holy Rose. When I did go here it was the best. A little dumbfounded by some of the reviews. Take some time for yourself, leave the kids at home and enjoy your trip to The Holy Rose!

I have shopped with them for years and absolutely LOVE stopping in! The staff is very knowledgeable and can always direct me for what I’m looking for! This is by far my favorite shop ❤️

Welcoming staff, great variety/selection of everything from candles to crystals to tarot/oracle decks and incense. Spray sanitizer is available to help stop any cross contamination from handling crystals (since theyre high touch and were still in a pandemic). They gave me an extra pouch to go along with one of the items I purchased which was very nice of them. My only issue is parking but perhaps its only a struggle on days when youre simply not meant to go.

Love this store!! The staff are very friendly and welcoming 😊 And very knowledgeable In there products, and spiritual practices ❣️

I called up to ask if they could help me figure out what kind of quartz I found while walking in the park. I brought the rocks in and the associates gave me an answer with a snappy tone. The place felt super pretentious. As I was leaving a younger associate chased after me saying Did you pay for those? before the other associate filled her in on what I had. Neither of them apologized. I get it, they probably have a lot of theft, but this rudeness was not appreciated. I know Im not alone seeing as how they reply to unfavorable reviews on here. Overall great selection, kinda pricy but thats to be expected. This is a get your stuff and get out kind of place. The staff should get off their high horses seeing as their website is full of typos.Edit: Actually your replies speak much louder.

The Holy Rose is a wonderful place. The staff is welcoming, friendly and knowledgeable. The store is clean, well organized and a beautiful space. Highly recommend!

This is my second time stopping by The Holy Rose! And I just love this place I always feel like a weight has been lifted off me after leaving! Everyone is extremely helpful and they have a very wide variety of items as well!! No children under 18 and cell phones off bc of the frequency effect!!!! 5 stars hands down

I’m giving this 4 stars because they store is great but I’m going to give the owner of the store two stars. Her energy was very off, and she made me feel uncomfortable, she gave me dirty glares the entire time. I also liked the workers they helped me a lot. Would go back if the owner wasn’t there

I’ve been here twice, so far. Everyone that works here is very kind, knowledgeable, and very willing to help you with whatever they can. They also have such genuine conversations which makes a nice environment. They’re super welcoming and create such positive energy. I really love this shop and I plan to go back a lot more!

Warm reception as soon as you walk thru the door they have a wide variety of items available to you for all your metaphysical needs you feel better walking out even if you dont buy anything

Very beautiful place, way out of my price range

I just left the store and I am absolutely blown away by the atmosphere and with how many things they have to choose from! The staff were very compassionate to me and others and made it a great place to shop. I’m definitely coming here all the time for my restock on herbs too because they have A LOT! Wonderful place and people. 10/10

I was going to go to this crystal shop but after seeing the responses to some negative reviews. I’m going to take myself somewhere else we should all try to be a loving community of people and try and respect others feeling but in some reviews I don’t feel respect coming from either side.Edit: I was just trying to be respectful and make a response and I gave u a three star rating before cause I didn’t want to negatively rate if I didn’t know how ur response would be. But not getting back this very rude response I have rated u 1 star.

Priestess Rose created the most beautiful specialized handfasting candles for our wedding, created a magical special gift for my business, and If i ever need magical advice, she is always happy to help. She created a beautiful space and is the real deal. My fave shop, my fave Witch.

Amazing Spiritual place that serves the entire east coast. Great selection of crystal, candles, books, tarot, jewelry and much more. A must see when in Raleigh!! 910 Tryon Hill Drive Raleigh NC 27603

So I am the type of person who reads reviews before I go to new places and I do start with the negatives. I was kinda nervous to come here but after really reading the bad reviews I remembered as someone who has worked customer service, I know some customers can be rude and twist things! Also Im down with telling the customer off if theyre the ones getting out of line. And you cant get mad at a store for having a 5 year rule of not allowing minors in. Theres many reasons of why the would have such a rule so its kinda weird how many people are that upset over this one particular thing. 🤷🏾‍♀️As for my personal experience, it was very pleasant. The energy was calming and everyone was super polite and helpful. Its a little expensive but everything looked to be of nice quality and well worth the price. Next time Im in Raleigh Ill definitely come back here. The only down side is that I didnt get to see the cat!

I love going to The Holy Rose! I have been going for about four years now and usually I just go in and tell them how Im vibing and they give a spot on recommendation every time! Please read the signs on the door before you walk in!

Very cool place. What makes this place standout is all of the unique stones and nautilus fossils.The staff was knowledgeable and will to help answer questions.

I havent been here yet but looking forward to it. Seems awesome. I love the fact that the owner and staff have pride in their business, this is considered a sacred place that they work very hard to keep up and dont have time for disrespectful people and kids shouldnt b n a place that sells expensive ritual supplies. This is a religion not a joke and the health of the staff and others is definitely no laughing matter I praise them for being protective of their health after all our bodies are our temples. Please be respectful we dont have many shops like this here and Im thankful they have this great looking place. It has always been my dream to open a witch store but never put it into reality yet. Blessings to the stores owners and staff

I’m new to North Carolina. The business is pretty awesome. Staff were helpful and sweet. I loved the ambiance of the energy there. They have lots of sanitizer for your hands to spray for a clean hands shopping experience. I’ll be coming back here.

Ive spent my money here before but I will not be returning!!!! After todays experience I definitely not be back.

Was excited to see the new location since it had been a bit since my last visit. Awesome as always. Love the new shop.

My girlfriend is a practicing witch and she really enjoys the friendly staff that are always willing to answer any questions. They also have good Covid policies. I like the shiny rocks and the shop cat.

Absolutely adore The Holy Rose. The store itself is welcoming and peaceful and stocked with a variety of items. The staff is what really makes the place one of the best shops Ive ever been in, and what will keep me coming back. These are some of the most warm, caring people who are also knowledgeable and helpful. From the first day I walked into the store until now they have remained incredibly friendly, always greeting customers with a sincere hello and how are you. And Rose protects the sanctity of her store so that everyone can enjoy it. I have found myself going in just to get some of the peace that permeates everything in there. They have a permanent and loyal customer in me!

Staff is friendly and helpful. Its always a pleasure looking around and seeing the inventory.

I love metaphysical stuff, and I consistently hear good things about this store, the employees and the owner.

DO NOT GO HERE. I had the WORST experience at this store due to one worker. One associate was nice enough, but I was berated by another worker who lied to my face saying that he saw me touch a stone and that I would need to re-sanitize my hands (for COVID19 protocol). Re-sanitizing is not an issue, I however touched NOTHING in this store. Im not sure why this person would feel the need to lie and say they saw me touch something when that is not the case. Obviously I did not give them any business from this point on, and I encourage others do the same. There are much better crystal shops in the area that do not employ rude liars that are hostile to customers. Had it not been for this LYING employee, I might not have taken my business elsewhere—just something to keep in mind if you actually want to stay in business.

Honestly was a little nervous visiting this store due to the negative reviews, but I am glad to say that my experience was great! Very friendly staff, and very respectful. I do honestly feel like most of the bad reviews are dishonest customers. Thank you for making me feel very welcomed!

So this is one of my favorite Magic shops. However, lately the atmosphere has gotten very tense. The staff does not make you feel as welcomed. I like their COVID-19 precautions, but they seem very scared and on guard at all times. You can sense the tension and fear.It’s now impossible to shop freely at this shop. You’re constantly being watched and followed. It’s a very nervous energy. The interactions are not as smooth and pleasant as in the past.I can honestly say that it seems all the store staff have changed. From the ladies to the young man who works there.I think that these are genuinely good people. I just home the shop returns to the pleasant atmosphere it once was.

Love this place 🥰 shout out to Shana and all the employees thanks for always making me feel safe and welcome ☺️ will probably be stopping by the shop sometime this week.Youll are amazing 🙂 keep it up!

The best selection of metaphysical supplies anywhere in the triangle. The negative reviews come from folks who have admittedly never been there, or cannot seem to handle being asked to take their conversations outside on the phone or generally being asked to keep peace and respect the rules of the business. The positive reviews far outweigh the negative for a reason!

Friendly knowledgeable and awesome store first time will not be last!!

Ive gone here about three times and each time has been a great experience. This is a beautiful shop! They have plenty of crystals, fresh sage sticks and candles as well as books varying Wicca to Archangels to Tarot. They are very helpful and are on top of the Covid prevention in the store as well. Definitely check it out!

An amazing and beautiful shop ran by the very knowledgeable, kind and helpful Rose. The shop is a must visit for the (18 & over!) serious spiritual practitioner or anyone looking to learn more, get started on their path or find the perfect gift for that person interested in anything metaphysical or spiritual. The age rule and COVID sanitation procedures, that are strictly enforced, are only a small indication of the depth of genuine care, respect and seriousness that is given to the shops customers and the spiritual tools that the shop carries.I can not recommend this shop enough. There are NONE- at least not in North Carolina- with the atmosphere, knowledgeable and helpful staff, as well as the variety and quality of products/supplies as The Holy Rose.HOWEVER, anyone looking for the good vibes, no effort needed sort of metaphysical shop- this one is not for you. Nor is it for you if your intentions are to mislead, be rude, derogatory or otherwise act disrespectfully in a safe and sacred environment- it will not be accepted or tolerated. All of which just adds to the numerous reasons that this *IS* the metaphysical shop for the serious seeker.

I had a great experience and Im looking forward to returning very soon. Everyone was very knowledgeable and welcoming. 10 outta 10 will recommend

Ever since I found this shop a couple years ago after moving to Durham, it instantly became my favorite. There’s other shops closer to me but they honestly cannot compare so I’m more than willing to make that drive. The energy in the shop is intense and amazing!!! The staff is always more than willing to help and make sure you find whatever you’re looking for. I just love the vibe and the way the items are displayed, makes it sooooo much easier and less intimidating to find things than most shops I’ve experienced. I have to go in there with a budget in mind because I want it all! 100/10 recommend, anyone who says otherwise likely has ill intentions and were called out on them, as they should be.

This place is incredible. The staff is knowledgeable, helpful, and they radiate positive energy. They have been immensely helpful as I navigate my own spiritual journey. In addition to the every-day new age items, they have a diverse and unusual stock of spiritual necessities. Every couple of weeks, I try to leave the kids at home an make a trip up to The Holy Rose. Its like a mini vacation. The store itself has such a wonderful vibe, and is one of the most visually stunning stores in the area. Every time I visit, its such a spiritual treat.

Visiting from Jersey this was one of my first stops, and it was definitely worth the drive and visit. The staff is very welcoming and knowledgeable. They have so many crystals, tarot decks Florida water, and sages etc. to choose from. Thanks again for the warm welcome even from the cute chubby black cat. You guys were awesome 😊

I was visiting my boyfriend for the weekend and saw this shop and was extremely excited and had great feelings about this place! My boyfriend was asking the young man for prices on some necklaces that he was interested in buying. The young man told my him “ I do not have time for this” and then kick him and his brothers out of the store. I asked him what had happened and the young man told me he was being “disrespectful” and didn’t have time to give him prices. Now the only thing he was doing that was disrespectful is when he was around me and his brothers he took down his face mask to talk and then put it back on and re sanitized when he was confronted by an employee. If you work in a shop and have no time to help your customers in products that you should be excited about selling and talking about, then you shouldn’t be their?? I don’t think sitting at register, not helping customers is professional. Looking at the replies from the staff to the reviews that are not so great, shows how the staff act in the shop as well. I mean no disrespect to any of the staff, I’m just being honest. Thank you for a great North Carolina greeting.

After my first visit, I left feeling hopeful and lighter. I met Shana and her energy allowed me to unburden myself of some stressful negative energy that I had been dealing with in my life. I can tell you that is not an easy thing for me to do. She suggested certain things to help me and I could tell she was very knowledgeable. I have been in a few more times and am glad to see her everytime as she has remembered me from my first visit. I absolutely love the atmosphere and I recommend to anyone looking for healing, guidance, and positivity in their life. There is so much to explore and I will continue to shop here for all of my spiritual needs. During this difficult time of Covid, they take precautions seriously which I am thankful for because it shows they care for their customers. If I could give 10 stars, I would do it every time.

I really havent had a good experience at this shop ever. The first time I went I was disappointed by the lack variety in their book/tarot selection, and the vibes were just... off. Another time the shop clerk had a very harsh, negative, and condescending tone to a guest who didnt have correct knowledge about Metatron (as a practitioner I work to come to greater knowledge through sharing personal gnosis without stomping on someone elses). It felt like the guest was being shut down and like the clerk was gatekeeping. It hasnt been better since.Id like to acknowledge that whoever is responding to these reviews is only visibly adding to the growing voices that your store has a very negative vibe, be it from the building or staff. As a food service manager I would fire anyone on my staff who talked to any guest or responded to guest complaints the way your staff does. I wish you the best and hope you all evolve. This city needs more good metaphysical stores - be it you by evolving or someone by filling the void you are creating. Love and light. ❤

I have been here a few times & it had arguably been the best metaphysical shop that i’ve been to in Raleigh. However, my last visit wasn’t exactly enjoyable. The woman who invited us into the shop & sanitized our hands was the only worker who was polite. My friend was visiting me out of town for my bday & I really wanted to show her this shop. There was a flask on a shelf that she thought was cute so naturally I reached for it to see if it was for sale (it ended up being a prop). One of the workers then told me “Typically anything you have to reach for is NOT for sale.” I didn’t really let the tone of her statement bother me, but i’m 5’ tall so I pretty much have to reach for everything that is on a shelf. My mom ended up calling me to inform me that my dad was in the ER. The same woman told me “Phone calls HAVE to be outside”. Again, I understand that there’s altars & such in the store & i respect that, but it’s the tone she used that was off putting. I think the cherry on top of the visit was when I saw a locked cabinet in the back with limited edition voodoo dolls. I asked for assistance (like the sign stated), because I was drawn to one. She went to the cabinet & I pointed at the one I was interested in (Maman Brigitte the Ioa associated with death, cemeteries, & a spirit of fertility/motherhood). She unlocked it, held it in her hands, looked at me, & hesitated. She then asked me if i was a practitioner, which I responded that I was not, so she told me “I really can’t sell one to someone who isn’t a practitioner. Isn’t that right? (bringing in the woman who had been rude to me prior)”. As someone who works in customer service I feel like the entire situation could’ve been handled much more maturely. If you don’t sell voodoo dolls to those who aren’t practitioners I feel like that could’ve been addressed before going through the trouble of unlocking the cabinet & denying me in front of everyone else in the store. That was just embarrassing. Also, one of my friends was a regular at this store & she is not a practitioner & she was sold a similar doll. Anyways, I don’t think I will be shopping here any longer, because I just didn’t feel welcomed in the store.

Well my young son is obsessed with crystals/rocks and he collects them. We drove 30 minutes here only to see a sign that says no kids!! Pretty disappointing. we drove further to a different crystal shop and bought plenty of crystals and my son did not touch anything without permission. I guess this store lost business. I know kids can be touchy but there are some kids who are collectors and know better to not touch. I don’t think they should be discriminated against.

I have been a customer here for many years now. The atmosphere is welcoming and wholesome. The staff is always helpful and a downright delight to engage in conversation with. This is my go to place for all my metaphysical needs. I wish I was able to give it additional stars

Had hand sani spritzed on at the door, omg soo glad. Got some great pieces as well as an awesome gift for family. Thank you Holy Rose, i trully love the new location. #imhereforit!

I am 16 and really enjoyed crystals and went to the holy Rose looking to advance my collection and as I walked in the lady abruptly walked up to me asking if I was under 18 and I said yes given that I am and she said I must leave and I asked if I could come back with an adult and she said no very rudely. i was forced to turn away and leave.

Always kind and informative staff, large selection of stones, tarot and oracle cards, books and other spell components. Anything a witchy person could need!

Really cool little store. We will be back

This place was awesome. Could feel the energy walking in the door. Was in Moncure North Carolina for a short trip to visit great friends. We came down from Delaware..p.s dont tell anyone. Lol. Anyway I loved it and my bank account can corroborate. They have a fantastic collection of everything and anything metaphysical. Absolutely enjoyed myself and staff was friendly and very helpful. Would highly recommend going to anyone.

I have always had a great experience at The Holy Rose. Its a wonderful and whimsical place to visit and their products are lovely, just like the staff. Please pay no mind to the negative reviews. Their policies are in place for a good reason and they cant bend the rules for some people, because then theyd have to do it for everyone- making the policy pointless. Lets all be respectful, understanding adults and just be thankful to have such a nice shop to enjoy.

Ms. Rose and her son are amazing! The store is just pure perfection. Thank you for such a wonderful experience! -Stephanie & Misty

Out of this world🖤

Very friendly and kind. I love that they made sure to keep everyone safe by spraying hands upon entering and limiting 6 people for capacity💖

Soon as I walked in I knew this was -the- shop for me. Great energy, and the associates that work here are absolutely outstanding, and very welcoming. Came in with my boyfriend and we were both taken aback by the aesthetics and great selection of different items in the shop. Was able to get my hands on a really awesome necklace and he bought a beautiful gargoyle statuary piece. Shana was amazing, and fun to talk to, super personable. Much love Holy Rose.-Tristan

Very nice place very knowledgeable people

Great place to get sage, candles and stones.

Such great energy. There are large and small crystals, and an enormous variety. The prices are good. The service is warm and welcoming. Loved our visit.

Absolutely love this shop. The atmosphere is open and positive. The staff is helpful and the stock is plentiful. Highly recommend!

I wish I could leave 0 stars. So much negative energy surrounding the owner of this place. Such a shame.And then I get called a Karen by the owner in a comment? Oh boo ): Very professional. Just like when I walked into the shop and heard the owner spewing hate about another customer. And this isn’t the first instance I’ve heard about this happening.

My friend and I traveled over an hour to visit this store. The location was very spacious inside and easy to find. I was greeted immediately by one of the employees and asked if I needed any help. They carry a wide selection of books, gemstones, candles, oils, jewelry, statuary, herbs and other spiritual totems. Upon walking around and surveying the shelves I noticed how high the prices were! Small, common gemstones could range anywhere from $10-$20. Their tarot cards were priced several dollars more than what you could find them for at another store. I am definitely supportive of small businesses, but I cannot justifying spending money on items that have been marked up that high! I did get a couple of items, and checkout was simple and fast. The owner was as friendly as can be and welcomed us back! Aside from the cost of the items it was a pleasant visit!

I came into this wonderful store knowing very little about about anything inside. My friend and I were immediately and cheerfully greeted by Shana who told us to have fun looking around and if we needed anything to let her know, this felt so genuine the smile she wore was contagious. We walked around browsing the many items all around the shop. I grabbed a few things and struggling to carry them all Shana comes walking over offering not only more smiles but a basket which I happily took. Upon finishing loading my basket with the few essential items I thank her for being so welcoming and genuine which I had previously not received at another store of the same variety. This sparked a wonderful conversation with Shana where she patiently answered all of my questions often giving me examples of books and items I could find to help explain more. We ended up coming back again later in the day with another friend in tow. Once again Shana greeted us with her enchanting smile and welcoming presence. So to sum this all up stop by the Holy Rose and get lost in the magic youll find there.

Loved it. Parking wasnt bad. Lady was helpful. Good variety of insences. And sage sprays.

One of my favorite shops ever. The staff is lovely, helpful, and so knowledgeable. Their selection of dried herbs is outstanding and reasonably priced. So grateful to have The Holy Rose in my life, and I can’t wait until I have a chance to get back now that they’ve reopened. Highly recommend them- check them out, you will be delighted!

Honestly Im very disappointed im having to write this review. My first time visiting, I sensed a very tense and negative energy when entering the building. I had not previously looked at any reviews or the website or anything. I went here on recommendation from my best friend whos been a loyal customer for a long time. When arriving there, my 16 year old sister was told to go sit in the car because of liability reasons. I only stayed for a few more minutes, after being yelled at to put my camera away from trying to send pictures of items to my sister being forced to sit in the car (oh, but its okay to take your phone out and take pictures of prices, and stone card notes...those dont upset the deities but random pictures or videos of the place do...). The second time, I came back with my best friend who suggested the place. I went in with a clean slate, thinking the first time was just a bad day for everyone and chalked it up to just a bad one time experience. After shopping around for a little and doing the math in my head for the stones I picked out, I was confident I was within budget when going to the register, but aware im not the best with numbers so I mentally prepapred to have to pick and choose some in my basket. After the cashier rang everything up and gave me my total, it was more than I had expected and could afford so I apologized and kindly asked to take the 5 larger stones off and only purchase the little ones. After hearing this, the owner huffed loudly and threw the crystal bag onto the counter in a dramatic way and was visibly angry/upset. After getting over the shock of what just happened i apologized again and offered to put the stones away myself and I was told to forget it so I apologized yet again and the owner rolled her eyes and walked off. My best friend who was next to me the entire time witnessed the entire thing and told me she was never going there again in which I agreed. And after reading the copious amount of bad reviews and the even worse unprofessional responses on here, without a doubt I know this business is gonna end up failing if the people here cant change their attitudes to customer first and learn some manners and morals.

I was excited to check out this location, I’m a metaphysical store connoisseur lol every time I go to a new city I always check to see what’s available, kind of gives you a feel for what the city is like. I did not read the reviews before coming, I did see the 18+ sign on the door - I didn’t know it would apply to my infant child I was thinking it was meant for more handsy youngsters - wombn at the door was polite, suggested waiting in the car with the baby and take turns coming in. Personally I’m with my child 24/7 so I’ll possibly come back if I’m every around and child-free. Only tension I felt was from ppls getting upset at the rule and possibly attacking the people working there - so tension may be from the possibility of being verbally attacked by someone. I was put off by being told I couldn’t enter with my baby, but it’s okay. I would still like to return and see it one day (-:

My first visit this afternoon and it was lovely. An easy welcoming energy, a wide variety of paths and energies. Excellent pandemic plan in place as a frontline HCW I felt totally secure in the sanitizing and distancing procedures. Will definitely be back.

Ignore the negative comments. The Holy Rose is one of the best metaphysical shops where Ive had the pleasure being a patron. I would give them ten stars if I could. I shop at the a couple times a month. I live in Fayetteville and will make special trips to Raleigh just to visit all the wonderful ladies there. They are very pleasant and know what theyre talking about. I talk to all of them and I have a deep love for each and every one. The atmosphere is loving and I always get a good vibe when I walk thru the doors. They do everything they can to make sure their shopping environment is safe and sanitary in these troubling times. They have a few rules that are enforced for good reason. Take the time to listen and youll understand and appreciate the lengths they go to so everyone can have a pleasant shopping experience. They have an amazing selection of books, candles, cauldrons, oracle and tarot decks, crystals... everything and anything you might want or need for your pagan and witchy lifestyle. So ignore the negative Nellies and give the Holy Rose a try. Youll be glad that you did.⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

One of my favorite places to go. They are kind and helpful. Wonderful atmosphere. You can find just about anything in there.

Ive been a customer here for a couple of years now and I have always had a beautiful experience in the shop. Engaged, helpful, and friendly staff, very impressive inventory, great energy, and sensible rules to make everyones experience a positive one. Ive even been honored with a friendly head-butt from the resident cat, Lord Bastian (pre-covid, of course). The shop rules concerning children and cell phones are one of the things that keep me returning. Its wonderful to relax in a space where people are not dominating the energy with their electronics. I wish more places of business would implement such policies. It is likewise quite lovely to enjoy the child-free space. I also have a tremendous amount of respect for the way Rose and her staff are handling pandemic safety. I hope to enjoy this shop for many years to come!
