Ancient Ways

This is by far the best stocked occult supply store in the bay. It's to the point and not trying to have an Instagram or WitchTok esthetic and focuses on having a good stock of everything a practitioner would need. Be prepared with a mask as they are required in the store (they also have some provided at the front). …

One of my favourite places on earth. All the witchy supplies your little black heart desires <3

So knowledgeable, patient and nice here. I’ve always left this shop feeling good inside. Great selection of herbs, candles and books, and reasonably priced too. The tarot readings I’ve had here have been very helpful in thinking about solutions to conflicts. This is my favorite spiritual shop in the East Bay for sure.

Love this place. Staff are very knowledgeable and kind. My go to store for supplies.

The staff and the owner were really nice and helped me get exactly what I needed. I came to get some special candles and they helped me decide on what would be best for me. They took the time to wrap them up so they would not break and I really appreciated that. I think they're a great little shop

Ancient Ways has a little of everything, whether you need religious statuary, candles, sage, jewelry or need supplies for Hoodoo, Brujeria, Santeria or anything else. Large selection of candles, Florida Water, soaps, books, tarot cards, amulets, incense, herbs .....anything you can think of and things you never knew you needed! This is my go to place in Oakland! The staff …

Ancient Ways is exactly as the name states. Everyone here is so nice and we will be returning more frequently from now on

This shop has one of the best oil selection and herb selection. In fact, the herb selection is huge. They also have salts. Service is great with a certified priest and priestess each to assist.

Amazing, amazing metaphysical/occult shop that also carries some radical political titles, many obscure herbs, plethora of tarot decks, rare and hard to find book titles, featuring local artists and makers, ritual gear, candles, etc. Absolute must-visit for anyone into the esoteric path visiting the area.

One of the best of this type of store I have ever found anywhere in the country. Don, the proprietor, is a fun and sincere person and the shop has everything a witch/pagan could ask for. Well worth the visit. Thank you Ancient Ways!
