Entry No. 22 — the Savannah file — filed under: witchy
Ordinary Magic
A crystal-and-ritual-tools shop opened on the Summer Solstice (June 21, 2019) by owner Kelley Boyd a block west of Forsyth Park, with a spell-jar bar where you build your own intention jar from a wall of loose herbs, oils, and stones.
The story
Kelley Boyd opened Ordinary Magic on the summer solstice in June 2019, setting up shop at 509 Barnard Street just one block west of Forsyth Park. Sharing its roof with the Savannah Yoga Center, the space leaves performative theatricality at the door in favor of clean, accessible craft.
The core fixture is the shop's spell-jar bar. Rather than buying pre-packaged charms, you take a small glass bottle and choose your own mix from wall-mounted containers of loose herbs, essential oils, and tumbled minerals. Between the jar station, shelves of raw crystals, and in-house readers offering tarot, palmistry, and aura consultations, the focus remains firmly on hands-on ritual.
What it's like
Expect a bright, airy storefront smelling of dried botanicals rather than heavy incense. You can quietly browse the labeled mineral trays or sit down at the spell-jar bar to mix your own intention bottle step by step. If you're looking for guidance, walk-in readers are routinely on hand for tarot or palm readings. Regular shop hours run Monday through Saturday from 11 AM to 6 PM and Sunday from 11 AM to 5 PM.
The move: Build matching spell jars at the spell-jar bar, then get a walk-in tarot reading together before wandering into Forsyth Park a block away.
