This space is such a blessing to the community! Their commitment to teaching, healing, and supporting the community in all ways is inspiring. The selection is extensive and very intentional. Highly recommend!!
I recently purchased my La Madama from Motown Witch and I am extremely satisfied! Motown Witch has contributed significantly to my work as a life long learner and practicioner of Hoodoo, by ALWAYS having in surplus the books, herbs, oils, candles and other supplies needed for my spells and rituals. Motown Witch is an excellent spiritual and metaphysical resource for Healers, Sages, Teachers, Diviners, Rootworkers, etc.
Was one of my favorite black owned business until the “no children allowed” policy. I was very hurt over the fact I drove all the way there just to be turned around because I have my toddler with me. A great store to goto if you don’t have kids with you, I guess.
First time in the shop, I was overwhelmed in a GREAT way. Didn’t realize the shop was even so close to my home, and they stock SOOOOO much stuff that I’ve been overpaying for elsewhere. Felt like a kid in a toy store. The energy of the establishment, the vibes I experienced were good vibes, positive. Will be returning again & again.
My daughter and I popped in yesterday and were greeted and directed to where we could find what we were looking for. I am glad to know they carry different varieties of sage, so I no longer need to buy online.Thank you for your kindness.
The store is so clean and well kept, it brings the atmosphere up for the entire neighborhood. Great service and product as well.
Yvette was very sweet and funny. She was very patient when I was having issues paying and was understanding until we got it sorted out and paid. There’s a broad selection of herbs and candles as well, you will find what you need here. I will be back :)
The most accurate spiritual/tarot reader I know is Osaranga. She does walk-ins throughout the week, except on Wednesdays. She is honest, caring, and a wise advisor of all things Spiritual.
Great service, great inventory, and the prices are good. I first purchased through the mail and I was extremely satisfied. I went to the store and feel the same way. I love it and I will be going back
I stumbled around this place around my birthday last year, and got a tarot reading for the first time. She told me I was pregnant, and naturally I said no Im not. 4 weeks later I got a positive pregnancy test. My experience was great, and Ive been meaning to come back.
Very positive environment. Friendly and informational. Much gratitude. Ill be back. 💛
I would like to follow up on a recent review in regards to the services offered by Yvette. There are many factors that are not being addressed in regards to the ordaining of the wedding of Alexandria Purgatori. To start one year ago the party entered the store and met Yvette which they were addressed like anyone with concern. Now, within 1 year of communication you still chose to pay for services without giving full information on the RACIAL yes RACIAL red flags within Fowlerville, MI. I am Yvettes husband and the driver for the trip upon exiting the freeway we are met with nothing but examples, of the type of mindset this place represents.Which includes the following:1) Uncle Sam displays2) A noose hanging from a house on the highway3) Constant stares and following our car for no reason.If you call this safe you are obviously wrong or crazy. Who in their right mind being BLACK yes BLACK would want to go forward with something that shows its not right at all. However, it is somewhat miraculous that someone is still there to marry the couple? With this Yvette still refunded the couple their money. Let alone anyone else probably would have kept your money on pure disrespect.If you can listen to one persons review and take this as the end all for what Yvette THE MOTOWN WITCH has to offer then keep your money and go where someone will tolerate ignorance.
They could have more inventory, not really a big selection of the items they DO have, but youll probably find SOMETHING you like 🤷🏾♀️
I LOVE the store!!!! Great vibes, their new location is very chill. Love that it is black owned, woman owned and family run. They are extremely knowledgeable of their products and give amazing recommendations. I rarely give 5 star reviews and they are worth the full 5 stars
I Love this store! becoming my favorite place for all my witchy needs. fyi no children allowed in the store shop and enjoy😍😍🤩😘😘
I would definitely shop there again.
Love going back tomorrow better be stocked up im coming for alot more things love this place
I love this place. I love the customer service
Amazing mother son duo. They are extremely helpful and have a very chill environment. They have a lot in stock too
The owner is great and very knowledgeable, she really knows her stuff. Great personality, not evil. Real good people!
Wonderful experience! The owner, reader, and cashier were all so kind and welcoming. I cant wait to come back for a reading.
Went to this place yesterday and honestly I was a little swayed by the reviews but I went on my own to see and I was met with a warm smile from one of the women that does readings. The woman who eventually helped me at the counter laughed and joked with me about spices and even gave me advice on some spell work and how to connect with my ancestors. Before interacting with the woman at the counter, I got the vibe that she is cautious about who comes into her business therefore she is (understandably) cautious on how she interacts.. Something everyone should do before indulging in conversations with folks. So to say she was rude, maybe do an energy check on yourself before you interact with people! Will be returning soon!
Don’t ask the older lady no questions she’s very rude it be yo own people I swear especially when you spending money in they establishment next time I come in I will never deal with her directly because i really don’t have the patience to deal with her honestly
I drove all the way to your store to support and buy some supplies and I wasn’t allowed in because I had an arm baby! No, where on your Instagram page or on Yelp does it say no children are allowed. That is very unprofessional and discriminatory towards single parents. I will never come to your establishment again. This establishment doesn’t even deserve a star at all bad customer service and a waste of my time and gas.
Hope to see it grow, got some supplies here and found out theres multiple events coming up there and around town
I really dont know if any of you have been to any other metaphysical shops ever, but I have, Ive been to a lot. This was one of the poorest experiences Ive ever had at a shop. First off, the shop looks thrown together, and there were barely any crystals, the crystals that they did have were overpriced compared to other shops. Secondly the service was so lackluster, no one said anything to us when we walked in and I understand if they were busy but there were two other people in the store, and the first time anyone chose to acknowledge us was when it was to tell us to stop playing the singing bowl because the noise annoys them, mind you this was the owner who said this. So apparently were not allowed to sample a product which looked cheap and was overpriced anyways, I was happy to put it back. Unfortunately, I did end up purchasing from them but thatll be the last time.Also, none of them were wearing masks, and as dirty as the establishment was Id hate to see how they live, not worth it.
I was very excited to support this business, as I am a beginner and have been looking for a place to get supplies, as well as ask questions and get information that I can’t find in books. This store seemed well stocked and had a nice energy. I was able to find high John root, which I have been searching for for quite a while now, so that was great. I had a nice conversation with the owner, who had a slightly cold energy at first, but I understood as energetic boundaries & cautiousness are important in this work. I went in with positive intention and purchased some candles, a root, and a crystal. I called back today, as I had forgotten the name of the crystal I purchased, and I wanted to research the properties a bit more before placing my intention on it. When I called, the response I got was dismissive and quite rude, and the energy was surprisingly negative. The lady I spoke with informed me that the store was packed and is moving locations, so she wouldn’t be able to tell me what I bought. Which is fine and understandable. But the way she cut me off mid-question and the nasty tone she addressed me with really threw me for a loop, which is disappointing because I was really looking forward to returning to the shop, spending money and expanding my knowledge. It’s been quite hard for me to find black practitioners, and as a rookie I’m not even sure where to begin. I’m not sure if maybe she got some sort of negative energy from me, or I caught her at a bad time, but I was polite and felt I had the best of intentions. I just can’t justify someone speaking to a customer like that, who asked a simple question. I really just want to learn and as a beginner, this was a very disappointing experience. I don’t know if maybe my inexperience or something in my energy turned her off, but I really went into it with the utmost respect and optimism, and came out feeling quite unwelcome. Maybe this particular route isn’t for me, and I’m supposed to go about learning another way. I was hoping to join the Facebook group the store owner told me about when I spoke with her in person, but it seems I was rejected from that as well.Overall I take it as divine redirection, maybe I’m just not at that level yet. But it is a real bummer that I won’t be able to move forward with this particular shop as a resource. The owner of the shop does seem extremely knowledgeable, and my first conversation with her was very pleasant and left me feeling hopeful for my future with black spirituality. It seems like other people have had great experiences, maybe once I learn more I can return and have a better experience.
Stood at the door trying to get in, it was locked, during regular open hours. Staffed stared straight in my face and didnt let me in. No one attempted to explain why the door was locked, as I was clearly there during business hours. They also dont allow children in their store. The staff was rude and dismissive. Dont shop here.
Wonderful place. I love the owner and her family, the readers are amazing, and her herb game is strong...I highly recommend coming here and the new location is really nice!
Osaranga And Ms Evette.. I found them to be very lovely influences whenever their own emotions are in check with themselves.. Sadly i had to part ways after noticing true behaviors when certain customers walk in and out but other then that, my experience here was cool. Love my tarot decks.
This place has a really good energy. The lady who runs it is very kind and fun to talk to. We had a great exchange about the history of rock legends in Detroit and our families. I also like that they weigh out herbs by the ounce unlike other places that go according to the volume of very small baggies. The prices are fair and its a good opportunity to support a great Detroit independent business!
After reading the reviews I was reluctant to go here. Took my chances and stopped in for some emergency supplies. I was greeted into a warm welcoming environment and they had everything I needed. I also found hard to get items that are not available in my hometown. Ms. Yvette is the truth she read my energy as soon as my feet hit her shop although I was on the verge of a panic attack her and the cashier were very helpful and inviting. I got some great advice along with great hard to find items and beautiful pyrite. I cant wait to return
Not really my vibe, but really cool place if youre looking for black/african magic stuff. I found some useful things, but you wont find a statue of Wotan if you catch my drift.
I had the pleasure of meeting this beautiful soul during Dally in the Alley some years ago. She mentioned she was going to establish a brick-and-mortar soon, and I gave her my word I would stop by to patronize it. Ever since the first day of visiting the store, I have had the pleasure of not only being a customer of a wonderful human being, but have bared witness to the evolution of the store as a whole. The work she does there is bona fide, the items are authentic, and shes more then willing to assist you with your. La Santeria, Hoodoo, Vodun needs. Keep up the amazing work!!!
If I could give this place a negative 1 I would..... the customer service was really horrible.... the disrespectful way she talks to customers when they ask questions because theyre not familiar with the crystal is very unprofessional she needs to be put out of business... I went here to support a black own business but she was very negative and low vibrational she cursed me out for asking for a extra bag for my 14 crystals I brought, and her breath was extremely smelly!!! ... and her security which was her son made a guy slur toward me ... I will never be back to this low class business... and I am boiling my crystals that she touched because her energy was so toxic!!!
One of my favorite places! If you want your cards read or a spiritual reading go see Osaranga she is the truth 💯❤️❤️❤️
The first thing youll notice when you enter is the smell, its devine. The stock is a little bare, but its a small independent business in the process of growing, so thats understandable. The owner does carry some very unique and hard to find items though, and thats important for the craft. It looks like there is more going on than just retail and readings, Im interested in seeing what else is offered. And its nice that its a craft store in Detroit, not an outside suburb.

Absolutely love this place ! It’s a Gem,Detroit’s secret place for those who practice the occult or just want to know more. YVETTE is knowledgeable and very down to earth. I have got my candles dressed there and will continue to patronize this place
Absolutely the best!! Love the energy everytime I come!!
I cant speak on the behalf of everyones elses experience but I absolutely love her. When I first met the owner she did seem a bit dismissive and short and a bit busy. But when she realized my intentions were pure and that my inquiries wasnt on no bs she became warm and friendly. I love the energy the stories you hear on the tape she plays. Sometimes I just stop and get lost in the stories being told about my ancestors. The place is very equipped and if theres something you dont see shell let you know when it will be available. Im actually happy I walked into her store I learn a lot and because of her Ive learned how to connect with my ancestors m
I love this place. Good selection of essentials.
Was really pleased with cleanliness, organization and over all atmosphere.Very welcoming and owner was very sweet and knowledgeable. Will definitely be stopping back in!
Come here to get in touch with your people. The owners are friendly and have much information to share.
First time in the store which is run by my auntie. Ive seen so many things I want to buy and Ill be back to get them. Positive vibes all around the store, so if you are planning to shop there, lets keep that going!
Best metaphysical shop in Detroit! If you’re into ATRs or Hoodoo this is your one stop shop! I love Ms. Yvette, very knowledgeable and she loves what she does. Come see for yourself. You won’t be disappointed!
I love this place, my wife loves this place.
This is the best metaphysic store in town, the owners actually explain just about everything in there, they are very informative, Great customer service, they make you feel like family there.
Motown Witch is amazing. Yvette was very informative about everything I wanted to know about and her customer service was great! Definitely one of a kind. I will absolutely buy again.
OMGI love the whole energy of this store..And MW is so knowledgeable..She put me in the game
I went when they were just about to close on a Sunday. They were not the most welcoming, but they were NOT rude. Im sure just reach to go home. Id return
I had a great experience on my first trip to Motown Witch. Even got an impromptu reading before I left. What I enjoyed most, in addition to how cordial and helpful the ladies who worked there were, was that it is a black owned shop and its nice to FINALLY be able to purchase ancestral products from our own people instead of those who exploit, steal, and market our talents as their own. I will shop there again.
Great store had everything I needed. Really appreciated Yvette answering my questions and sharing her knowledge.
I came to this store to buy some smudge sticks and other holistic items that interested me. The overall layout had a variety of selection that pulled my interest. So I looked around for a moment before I was greeted by the woman who I assume was the owner.While she did ask me what I was looking for I will admit she was a little cold. Not too welcoming, kind of the vibe you feel when someone is only helping you with the minimum help because they must.I dismissed it because they had a decent selection of goods and it simply was trivial. However the entire time she continued a whole conversation with another reader/worker in the back and it just felt like I was intruding. It was a whole uncomfortable vibe directed the entire time. Mind you I’m the only person in the store so I really don’t understand what the issue was.I was going to spend about $60 getting some cool books and tarot decks I had seen but when she keep this defensive unwelcoming energy directed at me the whole time I didn’t feel my money and business was welcome. I only end up getting the sage stick because I needed it.This is disappointing too because I came in with a good energy and ready to support a black business. But you have to do better. These spiritual shops be having a defensive energy/stigma against others and prejudging. You need to do better if you want more business. Smile, be more welcoming and supportive in your energy. It doesn’t lie and it can’t hid behind that “customer service” demeanor. I didn’t deserve that as a black customer who came to support you with business.
The most amazing and knowledgeable shop in the north. One phenomenal witch!
She was a kind and lovely woman. And the shop had a great selection.
I love this place and the lady that owns it. Great place to shop!!
Terrible experience. Disappointed in the nature of that domicile. In the land we would never deal with one another in that manner.
Obviously not looking for new customers, or very open and friendly. Called asking if she had a decent selection of dried flowers and herbs and got asked “what kind of question is that?!” and hung up on. Super unprofessional and I’ll be sure to share my experience with all of my spiritual friends. Shame.
Great store! I’m happy she’s within and actually neighborhood that allows for the “nontraditional witch” community by American standards. Historically black witches have been demonized when all of us who understand the metaphysical know there two sides to each. She’s a beautiful person and they also host Brazilian movement there. I will be back and hope she stays in business do years and years to come!
Love this place, they have so very positive energy and have such an array of creative unique blessings that youll love to love. Go check them out.
I was sad that I missed meeting the witch, but her husband was incredibly helpful to my brother and I! My new favorite store ❤
Yvette is knowledgeable and has a wealth of experience and talent. I trust her to help navigate any issue. Highly recommend.
Shout-out to Motown Witch! We visited her lovely shop today and she has lots of great candles, incense, and herbs that no one else has! She makes her own soaps and shea butter in a variety of scents, and they are divine! 💜
Not a variety to choose from. I would have love to buy a money candle and have had it dressed, along with a smudge stick. But I came in while the young lady was holding a conversation, she didnt know how to let go of. Fine with me! Politely walked my money out the door. On to the next.
First time going today and the owners energy was very inviting she was helpful and kind very easy to talk to I’ll definitely be back!
NONE OF THE STAFF WERE WEARING MASKS!! Very upsetting considering it tells you you must wear one at all times on the door
So far Ive been there twice, but I plan to go many more times. I love the energy as soon as I walk into the door, its so welcoming. Today I brought my sons with me, and we learned about setting up an ancestor alter and about different crystals. They cant wait to return, and neither can I.
Small shop. The owner is very nice and personal and knowledgeable. Love that they had some hard to find items reasonably priced..
Yvette is the truth. Very well stocked store. Clean welcoming space.
Lots of voodou candles, with a few other spell components, and lwa statues all about.
Beautiful energy in this place. I found rare items here that I would’ve otherwise had to search for and purchase online. The owner is extremely knowledgeable and experienced in many spiritual disciplines. I’m so happy this is in Detroit!
I absolutely loved EVERYTHING about this store.
Everyone was warm and welcoming and very helpful, I was able to find everything I needed. I absolutely recomend this shop for your metaphysical needs.
Beautiful shop with beautiful helpful people.
Beautiful Store! Lots of products and services. staple of the community. It is so good to finally have a candle store in the city PROPER that represents the majority of the community.
Nice things nice prices and good customer service
Owner is amazing and beautifully spirited. Really walked me through all options for spiritual cleansing.
Just love the idea of my people practicing their spirituality ❤❤❤ the owner has a beautiful spirit I will return soon ❤
I dont want to bash the entire store it may have just been the person answering the phone. I asked if they had a dressing oil thats been around since magic has been practiced and because I have a natural gift. I realized she knew what she wasnt talking about. Her attitude was horrible and unprofessional and all she could tell me was the oils that sell the most amount women. Im a real practitioner and I would advise the store downtown. They use real herbs and they are always polite. And when youre doing magic you have to have the right energy handling your tools and they probably .should know how to give advice...Gorgeous_stewart on ig &fb for booking if youd rather deal a professional
I love the vibe. Mrs.Yvette is very helpful. She always has what I need.
I called before I came. However, the door was still locked during business hours. No sign saying we will be back in 10 min and no answer when I knocked. Hardly any merchandise in this retail location. Dont waste your time driving here.
Mrs. Yvette was very nice and accommodating, she answered my questions with compassion, I could tell she was interested in what my concerns were. I would recommend Motown Witch to friends and family.
Love it you are close by me
Great place to purchase items for African/African Diaspora spiritual/cultural traditions
Will i thought they had everything I wanted but they didnt, they didnt have everything a person would need for witch craft stuff
Very warm pleasant place very good vibes And the owner is really nice and down to earth glad to have them in the neighborhood I will be going back.
Spiritual goings ons. Readings by appointment. Authentic and interesting items. Knowledgeable owner. Not a lot of stock.
Great products professional service
Very inviting, knowledgeable, and has a really cool energy. Will definitely visit again!
Its a great place. Great energy. Come check it out. Support our Small business owners.
Has everything
Very pleased with store and the warm welcome by owner. Will be returning soon!
Had exactly what I needed.
