Entry No. 1 — the Colorado Springs file — filed under: witchy
Celebration Metaphysical Center
A slightly-hidden metaphysical center on Garden of the Gods Rd where a local coven leaves business cards on the wall and psychic readers work the back room Tuesday through Saturday.
The story
If you drive down Garden of the Gods Road expecting a glowing neon sign or a dramatic gothic storefront, you will drive right past it. Celebration Metaphysical Center sits tucked into a low suburban commercial strip at Suite C, hiding behind a front door that looks more like a standard office suite than a community hub for local occultists. Owner Jamie Wilson has kept this shop running for over 35 years, making it one of the longest-running metaphysical outfitters in Colorado Springs.
Walk inside, and the strip-mall facade gives way to decades of local esoteric infrastructure. A community bulletin board holds business cards pinned by active local covens, energy workers, and herbalists quietly advertising their services. Between shelves stocked with raw stone specimens, ritual candles, sage bundles, and niche occult books, you’ll find a dedicated back-room area where psychic readers take appointments Tuesday through Saturday.
It isn't styled for casual tourists taking selfies; it's an operational neighborhood resource where regulars come for 30-minute tarot sessions, pick up specialty herbs, or print out full aura and chakra reports. You didn't hear it from us, but if you want to tap into the actual subterranean spiritual ecosystem of El Paso County without the gift-shop sheen of tourist towns, this strip-mall Suite C is ground zero.
What it's like
You'll park in the shared commercial lot out front at 975 Garden of the Gods Road and head into Suite C, where the store opens into quiet, densely packed aisles of crystals, tarot decks, herbs, and ritual supplies. Browsing is self-guided and untethered, but if you want an in-person reading ($36 for 30 minutes) or a joint aura photo reading, call ahead to reserve a spot, as the back-room readers book up fast—especially on Saturdays during their long-running Mystic Meetup talks. Once you're done, the red rocks of Garden of the Gods park are just a short hop down the road for a quiet debrief.
The move: Get tandem aura photos and a joint reading, then compare what the cards said about the two of you over coffee afterward.
📍 Before you go It's tucked into a low commercial strip on Garden of the Gods Rd — look for Suite C and don't expect a storefront that announces itself; the entrance reads more like a neighbor's shop than a center. Park in the shared lot out front. Beyond readings, it's a browsable store (crystals, tarot decks, candles, sage, books, herbs), so come with time to wander. Readers and aura photos run Tuesday through Saturday, and free Saturday-afternoon "Mystic Meetup" talks are a long-standing draw — but readers can book up, so call ahead for a specific person. It's a short hop to Garden of the Gods park, an easy pairing for after.
