Chino has a 5 star rating for a reason! This was my first experience visiting Botanica Iggi Olorun I didnβt know what to expect and was extremely nervous. Immediately when entering place I felt calm, he greeted me with a smile and his decor is amazing! During my reading he confirmed some things that I already knew and told me my purpose in life and the direction I should take. It was a life changing experience and I am going to schedule a reading with him on a regular basis and Iβm glad I listened to my spirit to come here and be read by Chino. They are so accommodating and the jars, statues and perfume are so awesome and not expensive at all. Thank you Chino. Thank you Botanica Iggi Olorun I highly recommend you
Beautiful and calm energy but well situated in Downtown Jersey City for easy access in the PATH/light rail trains, buses and parking is easy. There was no candle, incense, soap, bath or good luck charm statues that I looked for that couldnt be found, and I left no stone unturned. The staff and Chino were very knowledgeable about all types of crystals and eager to assist. I had the great pleasure to have Chino patiently explain and help me choose a gorgeous pendant and perfume smells so good throughout day and night that worked with it for good luck in my business and love. He is definitely a gem they are fortunate to have. Words are not enough to give this shop at all enough praise or credit for the help they do to their customers and the community. My family and I are extremely happy customers.
I have had readings from Chino for about 3 years now and it has always been an incredible experience each time. Chino takes his craft very seriously and has studied it intensely. He is professional and so knowledgeable. He is kind and compassionate, never judges, and is genuinely interested in his clients well-being. I would highly recommend Chinoβs readings, as I find him to be very authentic. He is very easy to talk to and, even months after the reading, things emerge that Chino has already had insight into. Chino is the real deal and he puts his heart and soul into what he does. You wont be disappointed. Thank you!!!
My goal was to find a great reader who could help me look at my life from a different perspective and see things differently. Chino was fantastic and helped look through a few different views to simplify how I approached my goals and overall happiness. Chino was a pleasure to spend time with and I enjoyed looking forward to our readings. I especially appreciated his approach to mindfulness, which lays a foundation for health, contentment, and compassion. I have left with a few fundamental mental frameworks which I lean on often and that I feel I will use for many years. Thank you, Chino!
I love,love this store. It has such a wide variety of items based around shelves. I buy the energy stones, statues, sage, incenses and give them as gifts to loved ones. The staff is always amazing and helpful. I ask questions and I get the right answers, they actually help you find what you are looking for. I most definitely recommend this botanica. Weve bought books here thats not the regular stuff,its actually refreshing to get different options that are great. The prices here are amazingly reasonable. Me and my wife had readings by Chino and we couldnβt believe in how much accurate he is always. He doesnβt ask any questions but just tell us what happened and whatβs going to happen and advices us what to do. He doesnβt take advantage of us at all. As a matter a fact, he tells us half what we suggested as unnecessary and that we should save our money for other things. So out of this world good. Weβre so glad we found this place and Chino. We canβt wait for our next reading with him. Thank God.
I went for a reading with Chino and it was awesome. He was accurate and described my current life situation and circumstances. He also saw future events as I have made some future plans as well. He was honest with me and gave me useful ideas. I highly recommend him will go back to again. Well worth the visit.
I am so glad I found Chino. . Last week I had a reading done. I felt super comfortable with him; he is easy to talk to and answered all my questions. I honestly wasnt sure what to expect from this since I never had something like this done. I left that reading feeling lighter and still continue to feel that way. I feel more calm and at peace. The reading he gave me was spot on. I have already recommended him to some of my friends who are interested in going to see him in the near future. I am so glad that I came across him and I am looking forward future sessions with him. Thank you Chino!
Wonderful place to shop, and the staff is beautiful
Ive been here twice and to he second time was better then the first. Chino is incredibly friendly and helpful. This had become my go to place for readings. He has been an enormous help to me and the prices are very reasonable. I highly recommend him.
My experience with Chino was genuine, kind, and truly insightful! The accuracy in his readings in which he described my current life was outstanding. I will take to heart his suggestions, concerns, and wisdom. I highly recommend a visit with him! Very enlightening and helpful!
I have been searching for answers almost my entire life. Many of the readers in NYC you have to be aware of but right off the bat with Chino I felt so comfortable he sounds and looks like a true Angel! This man is blessed and talented. Amazing. Thank you for everything.
My experience with Chino was in all honesty truly remarkable. I have too be honest and first say I was not expecting anything from the experience and didnt imagine it would have turned out the way it did. He predicted a very unlikely situation at work that was not possible to have guessed it really blew me away and I remember at the time when he stated this information in our time together I thought to myself this guy has no idea what he is even talking about. Man did Chino prove me wrong and I am so blessed that he did. I am now making more money now than I have ever made in my life. The best part he also accurately predicted my new relationship and very specific details about my husband that once again could have not been lucky guessing. Chino undoubtedly has a gift. I will be going back and have told a lot of my friends about him and he has also blown them away as well. Thank you Chinoβ! it truly was an life changing session.
Im really glad I took advice of a friend and looked for Iggi Olorun Botanica and saw Chino. I found the reading to be thoughtful and helpful. Chino was very understanding and made me feel very comfortable and was genuinely interested in helping me work through issues. He is a great listener and the staff was very professional and helpful. I highly recommend Iggi Olorun and Chino. Thank you.
Chino has been very helpful to me numerous times. He helped me feel confident in my career by giving me a great reading. He provided excellent advice and listened to my needs and concerns with sincerity. He supports me without making me feel incompetent. I really appreciate what he did for me and loved working with him.
Absoulelty love this sweet, kind hearted compassionate spirit, The reader Chino, is so not pricey and its worth every penny. He reads you very accurate, takes his time,make you feel comfortable. Chino has asked me to come back for follow up reading after my doctorβs check up since I have been sick for three months as it came out in my reading. My doctor said my test results came back negative. My doctor and me were sitting in his office in shock this happened two weeks after my reading. I told Chino about the results as he said in my first reading. I continue to use the perfume oil and incense he recommended. Iβm so glad I met him. He is so worth it. Bless your heart Chino. You are heavenβ sent.
As a New Yorker, I have been through a good amount of readers and it is so rewarding to find one that is so ready to go on the journey with you to make you a better version of yourself. I have been withChino for 2 years and I already have a list of accomplishments, and I have friends and family telling me how I have my old βPep in my stepβ coming back! I am so excited I found him and if youβre in need, stop searching! He is truly the most welcoming, caring individual who will hold you accountable and help you reach your goals.
I have been to many many botanicas in my lifetime(39 yrs) and this place is the absolute best and cleanest. Im so happy theyve reopened. Ache
Ill admit didnt know what to expect the first time I got a reading done and let me just say, I was totally blown away by how accurate and detailed Chinoβ readings were! The readings he gave are SUPER detailed and very helpful. He ABSOLUTELY has a real talent and passion for his work! I honestly do not think I could have gotten a better more accurate reading anywhere else. He touched upon almost everything that needed to be mentioned in the readings and connects with his clients on a very deep level that is hard to match anywhere else too. He is very patient, cooperative, and understanding . He has helped me in many ways and assisted me in resolving personal problems I could not resolve on my own or with any other individual. Very friendly and easy to talk to and his work has undoubtedly changed my life for the better. HIGHLY recommended!!
Every person I interacted with was courteous and respectful. The Iggi Olorun itself was clean and safe. The wait was reasonable. I saw Chino for a reading and it lasted less than 2 hours. It was so good. I asked so many questions and Chino was so kind and understanding. This is an invaluable resource to many of us who need guidance and I commend Chino for helping me. Thank you.
This has been the most satisfying reading I have ever received. Ive been to other readers and all of their predictions always failed. Most of them did not make a lot sense and had very poor grammar. Chino was very precise and clear in what was told to me from my reading and all my follow-up questions were answered. I find this reading to be a great as I noticed many positive changes. If you are looking for a real reader that has true ability to connect with your energies then my recommendation is Chino.
Ive been going to Chino for few weeks and WOW. Ive had an issue letting go of a specific friendship relationship that ended some years ago and would think about it and the situation OVER and OVER in my head for a while and drive myself nuts. I have practically no feeling towards the situation now. I dont play it back in my head anymore or really even think about that person and if I do its for like 20 seconds and with a brand new perspective. I cant say how much of a relief this has been for me!. Its magical.
Accurate and Honest! Chino wont sugar coat things and really tries to help you with issues like a good friend. He is always truthful, accommodating and never pushy or demanding. Always a positive experience for me
Chino was very spot on, very kind and really read what I was going through and feeling without me telling him anything. He read me about my personal, career, social, business and networking life, most people even the ones closest to me wouldnβt have known or guess. He gave me great advice in how to balance my life and I did so and I did this last summer in June I been feeling so much better, meeting him and allowing the help really change who I am and how I see life such a gift this man has. I recommend him highly.
Cannot express my gratitude to my friend for referring me to Chino. Chinoβs gift of readings comes naturally and from the heart. He gave examples with his messages to me which hit the mark. He also went above and beyond by giving literature to me which enhanced my readings. Thankful to Chino for giving me direction at this stage of my life. Iβm going back for my baths, candles and follow up reading and Iβm taking my daughters with me so they can have guidance and directions in their lives and careers. Thank you Chino.
I came all the way from New York where Iβve been to and seen a lot of psychic said Iβve never been happy came to see Chino because I heard something good about him from New Jersey and was so highly recommended by my family friends. I was very please with his reading and he told me something that I couldnβt believe then which came through. Iβm glad he told me about it that made me prepare for the best. Thank you so much Chino.
I found Chinoβs details off google and I specifically chose to see him because he had great reviews. I contacted him and managed to book in an appointment with him the following weekend . He was very lovely over phone and when I met him, he was still the same lovely and friendly person. He was very welcoming, honest and truly blessed with such a beautiful gift. He surprised me when he revealed whole details of things and informations I never told him it anyone in my life and we never met before. And all the things that he told me about my self and family were all true which was hilarious and surprising to me. His advice to my problems is something I have started to take on and act on. He recommended a bath and home cleanse which were so cheap. I bought right away along with a good luck statue and vase. Thank you very much for your time Chino and I will wish you amazing things and never ending blessings.
Fantastic location for anyone working downtown. Parking is not bad but if you are lucky and early in the day there are spots up front on Barrow street. I stopped in for a reading and was seen by Chino for a reading for over an hour because I had so many questions. I received a good reading and was pretty stunned to be honest. and back to work next day with a whole different outlook. I would recommend this over any place any day !!
Chino gave me some great facts and advice! He is so nice to talk with and was patient with my questions. He really zoned in on the problems I have been having getting things going in my business and told me what I needed to do about it. What he said made perfect sense and gave me that Aha moment. Thanks Chino, you are a true gem!
Love love love. So professional. I had so many issues and Chino did a lot to help me out and his reading fee is so reasonable, other readers charged me more. Highly recommend Chino, i found him through google and is always so helpful, his readings are accurate and help me find my path. .. I canβt help but to smile when I finish my reading. Thank you Chino of Iggi Olorun Botanica
Chino is more than just a reader, I consider him a great friend and mentor. He has given me some of the best advice that I have ever had, and he breaks things down into doable steps and makes things easy to understand. He will help you see with clarity and strength so that you can tackle your problems and overcome almost any obstacle. This guys is almost like a wizard, seriously.
I was literally shocked when Chino told my life incidents (including my first love) perfectly. Initially I thought of just trying my fortune, but after determining Chinoβs knowledge. I requested for follow up readings for the year. I received an unmistakable indication in all my readings and way cheaper compared others that did not give the results Chino have me. I am not puzzled anymore. Thanks to Chino. Iβm getting results in my life that I did not expect even on my best day.
The number one place to buy affordable candles, incense and sage in NY/ NJ. They have the best selection of spiritual books Ive seen. They do readings in the back. If you are a new comer to the shop and are looking for anything in particular, the staff will gladly guide you along. They have things from self help/exploration to connecting with past ancestors to learning non-traditional medicine. Chino recommended a particular bath and candles. It really works!!! I recommended this store my friends and neighbors and they were all impressed. So I went back and bought a special perfume, smell so good better than an expensive perfume from big stores because the scent doesnβt fade throughout the day and brings me lots of luck. Thank you Chino and Iggi Olorun.
Before seeing Chino, I had consulted several other readers. I wanted to get a second opinion and seek Chino for a reading. Blew me away, the first consultation. He took his time with me, listened to all my questions, very on point, way cheaper than the previous readers I consulted and in the same day he recommended that I make small changes in my life and I did. Boy, My life turned for the better. My experience could not have been any better.
Chino is real easy to talk to and tells it like it is. He may not say what you want to hear, but hes definitely going to tell you what you need to hear. And truthfully, that is what you want from a reading - - anyone can tell you what you want to hear, but to get anything of value from a reading, you really need to get clear guidance from Spirit. And, when you get a reading from Chino, thats exactly what youre going to get.
Chino has helped me greatly and continues to do so for years now. He truly cares about his clients, gives accurate readings, great advice and I never feel rushed. Professional, Clean place, and extremely nice and helpful people working there.
I have been getting readings from Chino for well over a decade. He is a consistent source of clarity and inspiration. If you are looking for the truth and incredible answers to your questions, Chino has a rare gift to be able to get you specifics without even having to know your backstory. Time and time again he has helped a confusing situation by predicting the best path for me to move forward on, taking me from that state of questioning, to being able to see a clear bright light at the end of the tunnel.
When I saw Chino a few months ago, I was searching for an answer to better understanding my husband . He helped me see things I had never even thought of. We are now closer together than ever and we are pregnant!!! Thank you Chino for your insight and guidance.
If you anyone would have told me a year ago that I would be posting an online review for a reader, I would have laughed at them...thats how skeptical and cynical I was about this whole thing. But one day I heard of Chino, and I couldnt get him out of my head, I was so compelled to talk to him that I now believe Spirit brought him into my life for a very special purpose. Thankfully, I decided to give it a try and I can say with certainty that my life will never be the same. He not only gave me the peace and comfort I was desperately needing, he also gave me the advice I had to hear to move on while being very specific about people and situations that he could not have possible known if it wasnt for how incredibly gifted he is. His guidance and insight has made me a better person and has encouraged me to take a more spiritual path in life and for that I will be forever grateful. He is the real deal and I cant stop recommending him to everyone around me.
Everytime I go here I have a really empowering experience. I am definitely a reading person and hold it up as a type of spiritual experience, and if not entirely believing in its powers, I definitely think of it as a way to look deeper into your subconscious and to be seen by the reader. The first time I went to Jersey City is magical. My readings with Chino are always just incredibly real all the way through, which I think many first timers have a worry that their reading will freak them out or something, but his reading just felt like warm sunshine and a way to light up my life and feel gratitude. The second time my reading was even better because I bought the bath, candle and perfume Chino recommended and it worked like so fast. I got promoted at my job where my boss used to hate my guts now I get awards and promotions all the time. And what really made me feel happy was that I went with friends for my birthday and the man with gray hair at the restaurant we went to eat after our readings in Hoboken just kept smiling at me and saying things like, its going to be a good decade and giving me loving vibes. Now we are married for 3 years just as Chino said in my second reading. Thank you so much. You know how the readings, baths, candles, perfume, incenses, sage, statues and jewelry have really help me. Thank you Chino for your good and kind heart. God bless you.
Chino is an amazing soul of which I found him online in search of help with the issues that are going on in my personal life. This man will tell you the truth about EVERYTHING without question. He saved my life in many ways, and has put me on the path to a positive outlook and future. I have been to many readers in the past, but this is my last stop without question.
My favorite spot,the shop owner is so friendly and helpful !
This is the best place I`ve ever received a reading from. Chino is fantastic, his skills, knowledge and techniques have been instrumental in the progress I have experienced. I highly recommend him.
I know alot people have different views about the place but I feel like the place is really chill and awesome. I went with my bestfriend and she likes it there and the products they sell are really nice and is hard to find even online. At the store, you can look at it and touch it compared to ordering online. The candles are super cheap here, online 7 dollars and 4 dollars for shipping, in other store 8 dollars. Here, they sell so many kinds of candles for 5 dollars and. Chino explains which candles are better for certain issues. They tell you not to spend on unnecessary things. They donβt push products at you just to make a sale. The staff here are nice. I would most definitely come back and bring my friends too
Great place!!! If you are spiritual in your practices and want too further your enlightenment this is a great place too buy statues books prayer wheels and a ton of exciting other things. They also sell beautiful good luck stones and jewelry as well and they iffer spiritual advice and reading available.And not only did my wish worked through Chinoβs guidance and prayers. No other place like this anywhere. The energy alone ( if u pick up on that sort of thing) is very clear. They have a wonderful staff and all around good environment!!! Great Prices for the city I Best sage in town ever!!! HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT!
If you are skeptical about readings, do yourself a favor and come to see Chino. There are so many so-called readers but I can tell you one thing. I know a true reader and advicer. You will not be disappointed here. He is amazing, accurate and on point. I highly recommend him.
Incredible vibes ! You would be wise soul if you come in this place and dive into the books of pure wisdom while getting a reading from Chino or getting the best candles and incense In tristate area. Remember choose wisely your routes to enlightenment. This place has all the wonderful inventory that you offer at the lowest prices. I love this store and staff also does readings by Chino. New age, Aura cleansing. Chakra. Balancing. The works.
Purchased an Elegua Ori from here a while back. The shop owner is very sweet, listened and gave me great feedback on my spiritual endeavors that I was about to undertake. An absolute gem in Jersey City, this store is great!
I found Chino to be affable and informative. I felt it more of a total approach; physical, mental, spiritual health fitness being as important. I trust him and intend to continue seeing him soon.
Ive been going there forever. I love it! I feel at piece in the store. Chino is the real deal he wont give you anything that wont help you. Its not about making money for him, its about helping people.
Nothing but good things to say about Chino. Ive been going here for years and hes just amazing. His energy, his talents? Hes very blessed. I havent been fortunate enough to nab a reading with him, but I intend to in the near future. So much love for this place and the people who inhabit it.
Amazing. He is really reader, great experience feel so much better I went and got answers on point with everything great advice so glad I decided to go highly recommended. He told me I would find love and meet my soulmate in two weeks and I did thank you.

Exceptionally great place, everything spiritual growth and more..any ongoing issues in life pay this man a visit.SHOP FOR ALL YOUR RELIGEOUS BELIEFS,GOODS,NEW AGE ITEMS..His attuned,in touch,real and well priced..great location,easy to get to. THIS IS THE REAL DEAL PLACE ...Thank you Chino... blessings!!
Chino has blessed my life and helped me, my family and friends in so many ways! A true Babalawo (high priest of the African religion of Ifa - African Santeria)! Unlike many of the wannabes out there, he really wants to help and guide everyone down the correct path. One reading with him and it will change your life forever, for the better! Just make sure to book your appointment ahead of time. The wait is long, but it is worth it!
Very helpful, they have just about everything you can think of. This Botanica has been there many years and is family run. They have things for many, many religions.
This has been an unbelievable experience, there so real, they even tell u not to spend ur money on things that are not necessary, itβs an amazing place thatβs been there for over 57 yrs, woooow, Thank God for nice people like Chino and family
The reading is $80.00 might be more now and hes booked out for months in advance. The reading was really good but thats pretty steep if your on a budget.
Godawful
Great place
