The Green Man Store

The first time I went in, I was pretty nervous and all I really remembered was their incredibly diverse altar, the dick candles, and how awkward I felt. I went in again tonight and I found the customer service to be A+. I had a ton of questions and this lady whose name I can’t remember (sorry!) was so incredibly helpful and patient with me. I will definitely be going back in.

Amazing customer service! Employees are very professional and genuinely looking out for your best interest. They really take their time to work to help you by actively listening to what your needs are! I highly recommend this place for anyone looking for spiritual guidance or just stocking up on their extensive supplies of herbs. Shana is the best!!!

As well as being an expertly staffed, and helpful store, The Green Man also offers an impressive array of classes. The topics are wonderfully diverse, and classes can be single, or run in multi-​week series. Teachers at The Green Man represent many traditions, are thoroughly experienced both in practice and study (including doctoral level academic in a recent class), and bring a wide range of perspectives. There is always something new to be learned, and The Green Man is exceptionally generous in presenting an abundance of avenues to explore.
There are as many as three classes of differing kinds held each week. (A new Beginning British Traditional Witchcraft series is scheduled to start January 5, 2016 for any one reading this late 2015, and is well worth taking.) The store website has an easily accessible, and well-​maintained and updated, calendar of events that make finding a class, or series, easy and the information accurate. If you have an interest already, or just a hunch, The Green Man is the best place to follow it.

Amazing quality herbs — the ONLY place in Los Angeles to get your herbs for magical purposes!
As far as the staff, some are super friendly and others are a little stand-​offish. If I could ask for one change, it would be more warmth, as sometimes you feel a bit like a stranger walking in. Last night, the beautiful pink-​haired woman helping me was warm, friendly, made me feel at home and comfortable.
As far as the merchandise — ALL THUMBS UP, ALL THE WAY! And if you ever catch Griffin behind the counter, then you’ll really feel the magic. Love Green Man Store!

I’ve been reading with Shana for about a year now, maybe a little over a year, I tell ya she is ON POINT!!! She doesn’t miss a beat and it surprises me every time. She authentic, honest and sincere. She never disappoints. I wish I could give her 10 stars!

When you walk in, you will not get greeted by hipster style foo foo rainbows shooting out of a unicorn’s ass (Cue «Sh*t New Age Girls Say» on Youtube) sales people petting your hand as they are charming your wallet. You get real deal people, who not only know what they are talking about, that walk the walk. Some other stores I been to, the people who work there have very little knowledge if any, or very shallow knowledge of what they are selling. Once in a while in other stores, you will luck out and meet the one person, usually the owner, that knows what they are selling. Everybody who works at the GM, has real working knowledge. I like the fact that they leave you alone and don’t hover over you when you enter the store. If you have a question, go up to one of the workers and ask, you are an adult. If you need help with creating a magical item, ask. They can’t sit there holding your hand giving you a 3 hour lecture, but they will help guild you within reason. They do sell books, and offer classes, if you want to learn more.
The store has amazing classes that are offered at very reasonable rates. *Tip: If you pay for class in cash, you usually can save a few bucks.* If the classes do caught your interest, I would suggest to try a few classes to see which teachers and subjects might be best suited for to your current needs. They also have great readers and healers. You might want to try a psychic fair, to get a few readings to find a reader or/​and healer that works well with your energy. If you can’t wait, just book 15 min to try one out, and you can even do it over the phone, if you don’t want to drive over. I’m not sure if all their healers can do work over the phone, so don’t quote me on that one. They can make magic candles or herbs for your magical needs (not for negative intentions or things against other people’s freewill). Plenty of unique items for sale for your home, magical and gift giving needs. If you like or work with stones, they have a nice collection of stone and stuff that are made out of stones for sale.
The Greenman is very protective on their space from negative energies, including the people who work there. The lady who posted a negative review about the guy who works the retail counter with her stones, he is a really nice guy and he dose not have a negative energy. Sometimes he dose have a resting b*tch face when he is in deep thought, like most of us do. The minute you talk to him, he snaps out of it. I been to New Age stores, where I’m not sure what the people were on or the energy felt off to me. I respect those stores’ energy isn’t suit for me. I hope she find anther store that is better suited to her needs.

I love this store. All the staff are friendly the readers are all great but I have to say Dylan blew me away.
He was spot on about my career and relationship from the start.
The information came through clear and detailed. It all made complete sense.
He’s also super sweet and funny and very easy to be around.

I had an enlightening and overall delightful experience with the store overall and Dylan giving me a reading. The store was a very cool spot with a great selection.
I’m a firm believer that you need a good energy and connection with the reader to get accurate reading and that’s exactly what I received. He was so easy to work with and followed up on what the cards were telling me in regard to the questions I had asked. It was great to have some clarity provided and guidance.

I like this place and always found what i was looking for. Great energy, smells good, and everyone there is super nice and friendly

I had a great experience at this store, and was introduced to an amazing tarot reader. First I want to say that he made me feel completely at ease, he had such good energy! He asked if I had any questions I wanted to ask the cards, and I told him that I wanted guidance in my career. He then proceeded to give me a very detailed and quite accurate reading that helped me get through the clutter in my brain and by the time we were finished I could really see a clear path to my goal. He then recommended a citrine stone for me to assist in attaining my financial goals.
I have to say, I am somewhat of a skeptic when it comes to this. But I left my session with Dylan feeling energized and ready to hit the ground running. His guidance really put my issue in perspective, and I am very thankful for his helping me. I can say with 100% confidence that I will be back to the Green Man Store to see all of their great crystals, stones, etc, but especially to see Dylan again, as he made my day.

I’m really curious how come this place hv such a good review. Well. Maybe it’s for some other reasons. But if u just wanna shopping here, u might not ganna enjoy it. There is a guy who works here hv very negative and dark energy. If their stones can bring good energy. What’s happens to this guy.
I guess they didn’t clean their Stones for a long time. Coz if u don’t clean them on time, they might bring bad energies too. Maybe that’s what happend to the people who works in this shop. U don’t actually meet this kind of aggressive person in ur daily life, but here he is.
Tips: wash them immediately after bringing them home, with water and sea salt for at least one day
Better no letting people with bad energy touch ur stone. Many store absorb energy from human.
Well, if the guy touched ur stone, don’t wait, wash them!

I came with two friends and was meeting two more that were running late. I was trying to kill time by looking at everything, it’s full of very cool stuff so it wasn’t hard, there was a stoner looking guy working who kept staring at me like a hawk. I assume he thought we were gonna steal, after purchasing some items we walked out, ran into my other friends so decided to go back in with them. Just death stares and bad vibes from that guy. I made another purchase and so did all of my FOUR friends on the way out, turn around, same look. For someone who works with such an assortment of stuff he should look into something that will help with his dark energy. The lady was very nice. I’ll keep my business at Spellbound Sky they were very happy that I brought them patrons

This place is home to a large, loving, welcoming and eclectic Pagan community. The staff is incredibly helpful, knowledgeable, patient, and friendly. The public events are a blessing to experience. My spirit feels light and happy every time I visit!
Each crystal and unique product has it’s own wonderful purpose. My favorite of all products are their Arch Angel pendant necklaces and unique magical greeting cards with all the faerie art.
I have yet to experience their many classes and healing/​psychic sessions but I have heard of such positive experiences that I cannot wait to try.
Thank you Green man staff for all that you do!

I have been going to The Green Man Store since it opened its doors 5 years ago. I have known the owners in the community and their dream was to open a center for the community because there was an absence of it and a huge need. Today it has become the magickal center for local Pagans to visit for their magickal needs. The store is very clean, organized and it has a VERY cute look to it. I have never in my life been in a Pagan Store like this. Everyone is friendly and loving, you can bet on this.
Herbs and Oils: The largest collection in any store, fresh and clean. The supplies will serve all your magickal needs.
Ritual and magick supplies: Countless items are in stock. You can find anything you need for your workings.
Gifts and other goodies: A large collection of Pagan supplies and gifts. You can find tons of handmade items from cloaks to bags and beautiful wooden boxes.
workshops, classes and services: A wide variety of events are held at The Green Man Store. They are there to serve the community so therefore they have a wide rage of every tradition in Paganism. You will for sure find what you are seeking at the Green Man Store.
On another note, the owners are open minded, wonderful and very diverse. They have spent countless hours building the store as a center for Pagans. They have a staff of wonderful people who are there to help you with all your needs. This embraces the fact that the store is warm, loving, and welcoming. It is the people that do it and they do it for sure.

I walked in this store about two years ago, and it feels as though I’ve never left! I am in love with this store and the people who run it.
Very knowledgable, helpful, kind, and willing to sort out any need you may have.

It’s so unfortunate that some people seem to have a negative view of The Green Man store and its employees. I’ve been going here for 3 years and I have never found a more welcoming, loving, and deeply fulfilling community anywhere else.
I’ve taken almost as many classes as are available, worked with a huge variety of people from various crafts, traditions, and backgrounds, and progressed farther in my practice than I ever have before. The work we do here is real, the magick is real, and so is the community. Never before have I felt so loved than at The Green Man.

I really, really wanted to like this place.
I lived in Burbank for years and the Psychic Eye (both the one in Burbank before it closed and the one in Sherman Oaks) was my go-​to metaphysical bookstore. A few years ago, I moved to North Hollywood and wanted to expand my horizons, so I visited The Green Man because I saw how many good reviews it had on Unilocal.
My first visit was very uncomfortable. I walked in to find a few people behind the counter, none of whom even acknowledged my presence, let alone greeted me. I got the feeling that I was invading some sort of private club. I took a quick look around but before long, I couldn’t stand the negative energy penetrating me, so I left.
Since then, I have become facebook friends with one of the employees, who I don’t know personally, but is a friend of a friend and I enjoy her posts and we have similar interests. Because of this, I decided to give The Green Man another try. I went in to browse and to get a list of upcoming classes.
When I entered, I immediately felt a burst of negative energy. Like I was not welcome. There was a man behind the counter talking to another employee, and again, my presence was not even acknowledged. I felt like an intruder. As I walked over to him, he just stared at me; no greeting, no «can I help you?» nothing. I asked for a list of classes and he said smugly «Yeah, right here,» as he handed me a piece of paper.
It just seems so weird to me that I would experience such negative energy in a place like this. I have visited plenty of metaphysical bookstores and have never felt so unwelcome as I felt the two times I visited this store. I definitely will not be going back.

I used to live in Ventura, so I got most of my stuff at a store in Thousand Oaks. When I moved to Burbank I started ordering everything online. Today I decided that I’d like to find a store again that can be my store. I found this place on Unilocal,it had great reviews.
I walked in there about 15 – 30 min. after they opened, and there were no other customers in there. There were two ladies just chatting that didn’t greet me or acknowledge me at all. I finally asked them if they had other smudge sticks besides white sage because they had baskets of smudging herbs, but they weren’t labeled, unfortunately I don’t know everything just by sight. They waived their arms saying there were lots, so I went to move in the direction they were waiving their arms… they said no right where you’re at. But still made no move to come over and help me or talk to me.
I get sage and other items like that for good energy and cleansing, so when I walk into a store that has those items, and the people working there are rude and negative… well then I don’t think I want to buy positive cleansing items from that atmosphere.
I left and drove over to Spellbound Sky in Silverlake. They were immediately very friendly, and very helpful… great positive atmosphere.

Hello, it’s me again, I got another reading at this AWESOME store, and thought I’d share my thoughts on it. Pretty soon I’m sure to go through all their psychics, lol. I’ve reviewed Elizabeth and Adela in my previous review (both AMAZING and knock your socks off helpful and insightful psychics).
The latest reading I had was with Elysia, aka The Naughty Faery, and boy did she blow me away. She is incredibly gifted, and it was a priviledge to spend an hour reading with her. One of the most remarkable things about Elysia is her down to earth and modest attitude, she won’t strike you as a glamorous ‘make up and crystal jewelry to high heaven and back’ sort of reader. Her appearance is deceivingly simple and low key, but she is cloaked in magic. (yup, I just wrote cloaked in magic, I should write a novel :) lol. But when she starts a reading, it’s amazing! She’s most modest, but she talks with a confidence and wisdom that clearly comes from A LOT of experience with the Sight and with spirit, and someone who takes her job very seriously. Also, she used the most beautiful decks I have ever seen, I think it’s the «legends of Camelot» one.
I had one of the most useful readings I’ve gotten my entire life (and trust me, I’ve seen A LOT of psychics, I like to compare/​contract reading styles-it’s a hobby of mine, I’m passionate about it). She gave me insightful advice on my situation, was honest about what the situation was, no sugar coating, but she also gave me so many tools (exercises and healing advice I can do on my own), that I got WAAAAY more than my hour’s worth of money. She is GOLDEN! Or sparkly. (whatever people say about fairies :) Waaay more sparkly than Edward Cullen, that’s for sure :) I am most grateful to her and I have been practicing her advice, and am seeing results in my life, slowly slowly I am healing my wound, and am grateful to the Universe for having led me to her. Thanks Elysia, from my heart!
About me: I’ve had psychic readings all over the country as I travel a lot, and am fascinated with the art of metaphysics and the different ways psychics express their gifts. I’ve reviewed over 50+ psychics, and my intuition about which ones are good and which are ‘so-​so’ has grown sharper over the years. I’m not a critic nor a journalist, I just do this for fun and as hobby and for my own spiritual growth. Blessed Be!

Nowadays, the mentioning of «herbs» and metaphysical/​spiritual wanderings immediately causes one to think of a weed clinic and psychedelic drugs. Let me take you back in history to the time of witches, apothecaries, and accepted spirit guides. If that is a world that interests you, then allow me to introduce The Green Man Store.
The Green Man Store is a very tiny store in terms of square footage but makes up for its size in experience. Catering to Wiccans, Reiki enthusiasts, occultists, and herbalists; the Green Man Store is a metaphysical stomping ground in North Hollywood. Again, the store is small but has great energy and a soothing vibe. Even though it is located in a busy area near the North Hollywood Metro station; the Green Man Store is definitely an escape.
What can you find at The Green Man Store? Gem/​stones, candles, pendulums, animal guide tokens, journals, jewelry, statues, skulls, books, incense, and small kick knacks. Granted, the selection in each category is VERY limited but the overall span of offerings is eclectic. However, again, if you are looking in-​depth for wares, this isn’t the right place. Think of The Green Man Store as more of an introduction.
Despite a small selection of goods, the apothecary makes up for the slack. Offering various herbs, powders, tinctures, and oils; patrons can find just about anything they need for everyday or special use. Plus, it looks «cool» like a step out of medieval times or Harry Potter. The service was initially aloof as I felt like I had to push and pry to receive attention. Basically, the employees are obviously protective and want to ‘feel out’ the customers to make sure they are serious. Although I can understand this in this field, it is not good customer service or a way to encourage repeat business. However, once I proved myself with knowledge and interest in the herbs, service was considerably better. The prices are acceptable with herbs and powders being sold in $ 5 bags (about 3 oz) and can also be purchased at half sizes for $ 2.50.
The Green Man Store also provides psychic readings, spiritual healing, and workshops/​events such as speakers, book signings, and classes (for example: how to turn herbs into tinctures at home). They offer a calendar of events and also update their Facebook page with future events.
The cashier was decent. Also a bit standoffish but not too bad. It should be noted that a minimum purchase of $ 10 is required for credit/​debit. Also, make sure to grab one of the rad free bumper stickers!
Parking is street parking with some posted signs so be careful. If taking the metro, The Green Man Store is literally a couple minute walk from the North Hollywood station.
Overall, The Green Man Store is a bit small (some would argue claustrophobic), a bit elitist, and somewhat narrow in its offerings but yet has great energy and a satisfying apothecary. It’s definitely worth a visit if you are into metaphysics/​spirituality. See? There is more than just weed out there…
