Sanctum Gallery & Gifts

I went to visit the store and its no longer there.

Probably the only pagan based store I know in North County San Diego. This place is small but incredible; they used to be located in Leucadia/​Encinitas but since relocated in Oceanside for the past few years. You are encouraged to touch everything in the store, including the crystals behind the glass cases. Kat — the store owner — is super friendly, personable, generous, and warm. She is also very knowledgeable and does the Tarot readings for the place. She teaches classes too, both on Tarot and Wicca. I have to stress again that I’m not Wiccan, although I do respect their beliefs and philosophies (and a lot of Wiccans I’ve met were just plain cool and nice).
Also interesting are the unique herbs, mojo bags (felt or leather), and other merchandise that have a Wiccan slant to them. I have not been able to find these anywhere except for maybe Lady of the Lake. I will admit, they’re *slightly* pricier for their herbs compared to other places, but it’s really not by much (and it really doesn’t matter considering I live in North County, anyway). There is also resin/​powder incense (which I think is VERY hard to find considering most places offer the stick/​charcoal type), candles, used books (something I’ve only seen in a couple other stores), Tarot cards, candles, and jewelry. There are some unique art pieces you might not be able to find anywhere else.
Definitely stop by here; it is well-​worth the visit (plus when you’re done with this place, there’s a really cool bead/​gem store next to them: D). They’re closed on Mondays, though, but be sure to check them out for the other days of the week.
