Alchemy Ritual Goods

Founded in 2017 by Colorado-born women - Faatma Be Oné among them - around the idea that ritual is a practical tool for mind and body rather than a novelty. The shop stocks sacred objects from a range of traditions alongside local and handmade goods: herbs, incense, candles, stones, books. It moved from 26th and Champa into the ground floor of the historic Savoy building on Arapahoe. Staff will actually talk you through what something is for, which is the difference between this and the crystal aisle of a gift shop. Open every day, eleven to seven.

Why go. A shop that treats its subject seriously, and staff who will explain it.

Same hours seven days a week, which makes it the easy stop when everything else on the block is shut on Monday.
