Entry No. 4 — the Seattle file — filed under: witchy
Phantom Quartz
A small curated metaphysical boutique owner Sofia McKee opened to spotlight under-represented voices in the magical community, deliberately stocking tarot and oracle decks, books, crystals, incense, candles, and ritual supplies crafted by women, BIPOC, and LGBTQ+ makers. It relocated to Fremont in 2023 and sits a block south of the Fremont Troll and just west of the library, mixing potted plants and vintage treasures in with the spiritual goods. The vibe is intentionally welcoming and low-kitsch, oriented toward practitioners rather than souvenir hunters.
The story
Sofia McKee first opened Phantom Quartz in Seattle's Mt. Baker neighborhood back in 2019 before quietly relocating the shop north to Fremont in 2023. Instead of leaning into mass-produced novelty items or neon-lit commercial tropes, McKee designed the boutique around a strict, intentional mission: sourcing ritual supplies, books, and tools crafted specifically by women, BIPOC, and LGBTQ+ creators.
Tucked into Suite B on North 35th Street, the shop operates as a deliberate alternative to souvenir-heavy gift shops. The shelves avoid plastic trinkets in favor of independent tarot and oracle decks, raw crystals, small-batch candles, hand-blended incense, and curated vintage objects intermingled with potted house plants.
The point here isn't to commodify the occult, but to redirect resources directly into the hands of under-represented makers within the magical community. You come in looking for a deck or a cleansing ritual piece, and you end up holding something where every artist and producer along the line is explicitly accounted for.
What it's like
Stepping inside, the small space feels more like an artist's quiet living room than a retail storefront. It sits a single block south of the Fremont Troll, just west of the neighborhood library branch. The atmosphere is low-kitsch and low-pressure, allowing you to examine deck artwork or vintage glassware without a hard sell. Because the footprint is compact and hours run Wednesday through Sunday (typically 12 p.m. to 6 p.m.), confirm their schedule online before heading over.
The move: Wander down from the Fremont Troll to pick out an oracle deck together, then test it over coffee nearby.
