Jodi's Broom Closet
A genuine witch shop tucked into the historic Garland Theater block, carrying crystals, oils, and a working herb section weighed out by hand. There's a private tarot reading room, so it functions as both a supply shop and a place to actually sit for a reading. It leans practicing-pagan rather than gift-shop, which is rare for the inland Northwest.
The story
Tucked upstairs in the historic Garland Theater building on West Garland Avenue, Jodi’s Broom Closet was never interested in selling aesthetic quartz paperweights for an Instagram shelf. In an inland Northwest market where metaphysical stores usually lean heavily toward polished gift-shop decor, this place operated strictly as a practicing-pagan supply house. You walked in to find jars of loose herbs weighed out by hand, practical ritual oils, and raw crystals chosen for actual work rather than simple living room staging.
Beside the retail counters sat a private reading room dedicated to tarot sessions, turning the shop into a neighborhood sanctuary as much as an apothecary. Keeping a niche occult spot alive in the Garland block came with its own local friction, however—from theater property parking disputes to shifting logistics—and the shop shuttered permanently in late 2023. It remains a distinct, short-lived chapter in the Garland District's offbeat history.
What it's like
Do not show up looking for loose mugwort or a tarot session today—the store is permanently closed and the space has been vacated. When it was open, the vibe was quiet and functional, smelling of dried roots and unrefined essential oils rather than cheap incense sticks. While you can no longer step inside the closet itself, the surrounding Garland block still holds plenty of independent character worth a walk.
The move: Browse the herb wall together, then book the upstairs tarot room for a two-person reading.
