Occult & metaphysical things to do in Colorado Springs
5 occult and metaphysical places in Colorado Springs, among them Celebration Metaphysical Center, The Enchanted Fox and Merlin's Realm. Botanicas, tarot parlors, witch shops and ritual supply counters, treated as the working businesses they are rather than as a novelty. They spread across Garden of the Gods Rd, Old Colorado City, Manitou Springs and Downtown Colorado Springs, so two or three can make a whole afternoon. Every entry is hand-vetted against real sources — not scraped off a top-ten list or averaged out of crowd ratings.
-
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 Enchanted Fox
Three women — a shamanic healer, an Indigenous tarot-deck artist, and an herbalist — ritually cleansed a 37-year-old pawn shop in early 2026 and turned it into a 900-square-foot community ritual hub where you can buy owner-crafted candles and hand-pulled tarot decks on a Tuesday and then tip tables with strangers on a Thursday.
-
Merlin's Realm
Tucked below a Greek restaurant on Old Colorado City's main drag, Casey Bopp — "Merlin of Manitou" — has hand-turned hardwood wands since 1988 in a shop that refuses to stock a single piece of plastic, plants a tree for every day it stays open, and quietly rescues thousands of pounds of food for the community.
-
Iron Springs Chateau Melodrama
Tucked up Ruxton Avenue in Manitou Springs, Iron Springs Chateau is a Victorian-era building literally constructed over the capped Ute Iron mineral spring — and since 1964 it has hosted continuous audience-participation melodrama and vaudeville via the resident Chateau Players, making it one of the longest-running dinner theaters in the American West. Cast members stalk between tables, crowds are coached to hiss the villain and cheer the hero, and the three-course dinner arrives before the chaos begins. Every October the whole thing transforms into a live Rocky Horror Picture Show shadow cast with costume contests and goody bags — an annual Halloween ritual that Pikes Peak locals treat as quietly sacred. It doesn't appear on a single Colorado Springs "top-10 things to do" list; Garden of the Gods gets the clicks, and this place stays delightfully weird.

Panthers Gate Lil Witch University & Metaphysical Store
An esoteric mystery school and metaphysical shop hybrid offering intuitive readings, energy healing, and structured occult coursework through its own 'university,' run by practicing psychics, mediums, and Reiki masters — far more than a gift shop.
