Dragonmarsh offers a collection of spiritual books, tarot cards, crystals, loose leaf tea, tea accessories, and much more! They also have a store cat that hangs out all day. They have a good selection of items to meet your witchy needs. If you're not interested in anything else they offer here, check out the tea selection! I was delighted to see their accessories and custom blends that are unique to this boutique. They also carry hard to find medicinal tea blends. I'm a frequent customer here for this reason. read more

Dragonmarsh - Corn doll and broom - Herbs & Spices Near Me - Riverside, California

5 STARS JUST FOR PEPPER ALONE. SHE IS SO CUTE AND MEOWY! Small and adorable she meows for treats and is a lovely employee of the shop! Staff is super helpful and aside from a lot of spirituality items, the shop is also a historical part of Downtown Riverside. One of their doors was a bank vault door? Pretty neat! They also have a great selection of small gift items like handmade soaps, loose teas (their Transylvania tea is DELICIOUS by the way), plushies, totebags, etc. I thought they were ginseng plushies, but their mandrake plushies are pretty darn cute. The store smells lovely with the incense and other items there too. Immediately feel your spirits lifted! They run some events with the community, so I'm excited to check those out when I'm in the area! read more

Hi pepper ur so cute and adorable I love this shop already just because of the cat U guys it's a spiritual cat ‍ Maybe she's a magical person that is a cat in the day time Pet cat for good luck and prosperity Her ear is clipped but maybe that is part of her spell Or maybe she got in a fight with a stray cat and lost her ear like that And when she got wounded, a magical shop adopted her and pepper found her forever home The end ‍‍‍‍‍‍ read more

Very friendly staff. Talkative and easy to ask questions to. Cute kitty named Pepper in the shop that you can pet. Both staff members who were here when I went were very approachable and knowledgeable about everything. My first time shopping here as I'm new to the area and my usual shop is a long drive now. I'll definitely be back! read more

Lovely store and staff. Natural solutions for ailments and other fun goodies. Lucky to have found this store read more

My boyfriend and I went in a couple of months ago and still talk about it to this day. Such a calm, nice environment and everyone was extremely kind. We purchased a good amount of tea, a candle and some chapstick. We loved every single item and plan on going back soon for Christmas gifts! read more

Just an update to reiterate that all of this is still true: this is a wonderful local business and you should definitely give them your patronage. Also I forgot to add before that the prices are really reasonable (like $5 for an ounce of lavender flowers reasonable, it's wild). read more

Wonderful staff! Very knowledgeable and always up for a chat. Been a fan of this family owned store for about 30 years and look forward to my next visit. They carry a wide variety of herbs and always have whatever you are looking for. read more

Dragonmarsh has always been phenomenal to me. Every worker there is super kind and respectful. The workers understand and know their products and are very helpful. They were low on the Tea Blends I wanted and they kept in touch and let me know when they would receive some in. And in the past they have specially ordered the specific Essential and Perfume oils I like and have shipped them to me. They have a really simple and easy to navigate website for ordering and they ship really quick and package their products with really good protection. I have patroned this shop for many years and I will continue to do so in person and online. I extremely recommend this shop for any Tea/Religious paraphernalia/household/holistic needs. Thank you Dragonmarsh for all of your greatness throughout the years! read more

Love this store! My son and I go for herbs, teas, books, and healing crystals. All the store associates are very knowledgeable about everything in stock at this establishment. read more

They followed my family and I while we were looking around. It was our first time and we won't come back. Most definitely had to do with race. Older gentleman and a guy with glasses would not let us shop comfortably read more

Spectacular selection- can't wait to go back! Staff is friendly and knowledgeable and the cat is the cherry on top!

Long time fan of dragonmarsh here! Bought a custom Santa Hat a few years ago and it was starting to get really worn down. Even though I live in Nevada now I was able to order a new Santa Hat! It smells like the shop and that makes me even more happy read more

If you don't fit into a,"Box"... this place is for you. If you're skeptical; move past your OWN biases... stop in... and start a conversation. From simple curiosities to in-depth cultural exchanges, Dragonmarsh never ceases to amaze me. I myself am a, "Meltingpot" of sorts and the warmth and shear vigor that I've experienced from the staff here was Beautiful. What you seek you'll find. I discovered an abundance of gratitude and new found acquaintances. A Harvest field for the soul. The Eye. (Do your smile a favor... greet, Missy if she's in there!) read more

Dragonmarsh had been my favorite place to go for all my cones & incense! I recently moved and got an order shipped out of state and honestly - what an amazing experience! I spoke w someone over the phone and they were so helpful! My order came so fast too! 1000/10 experience! read more

This shop has extensive metaphysical items. They have a great selection of tarot decks and spiritual oils. My gf purchased a few oils and we plan to come back for some more the next time we are in downtown Riverside. The staff was friendly and ready to help when we had to open the display case to purchase our oils. The cat was super cute and chill. My gf was able to pet her for about 5 mins . Just a note for anyone visiting during the day. There is a parking lot right around the corner that offers free parking for an hour. read more

This place is so soothing! The workers are super sweet and have great energy. I really want to get started more with herbs and this place is the perfect spot for herbs and teas. That's what I specifically went for but they also have crystal tumbles, jewelry, soaps? Bath bombs, candles, oils, etc. read more

Lovely store located in downtown Riverside. They have a huge assortment of items ranging from sages, soaps, spiritual oils, etc. The staff was attentive and took the time to explain things as I am new to this. Got what I needed and will be back to resupply in the near future. The oils I purchased has an amazing scent that draws you in. Excellent place to shop...there was a young lovely lady who assisted me and we even got to talk a little about my time in the Air Force which was quite lovely. read more

Onyx is so awesome! He needs a raise! He was so thoughtful in answering our questions

This little shop was recommended to me by an actual high priestess and someone at the Holistic vibes. I was looking for mercury planetary oil and I went to several places in Corona and called a shop in Claremont and no one carried what I was looking for. I'm happy the store is still open, I know they struggled during COVID but their still well and alive. The staff was welcoming and happy to help with any questions. If your looking for any spiritual tools or product. This is the place. The store has street meter parking available. read more

I bought some amazing tea here! Like 8-9 different kinds and I love them all. The staff was very helpful. Take note to bring your ID if you're going to use a debit/credit card. I had to have my partner come in who was waiting in the car because I happened to not have my ID on me (I don't drive). I don't hear of businesses doing this often so I just thought I'd put this out there! Otherwise, amazing experience! read more

Great experience- took a class and it was amazing. So much information and a fun project to take home. Will definitely be back for more!

Disappointed with how downhill the store has gone. My experience today at this store was extremely horrible . Not sure why I was being followed around the store non-stop felt like I couldn't enjoy my shopping experience ( hope it wasn't cause of my brown skin color ) . The gentleman who works there was extremely rude as well. Tried to tell me the only books that were offered were European and I said " so like Celtics and stuff" and he laughed and said "the Celtics aren't European" . Sad the store stopped hiring individuals who are knowledgeable or atleast know common knowledge about paganism/ the craft . read more

Crystals, herbs, spices and everything nice! Dragonmarsh is a hidden gem located in the heart of Downtown Riverside. This store is a family owned-small business that sells a variety of herbs, crystals, spices, candles, jewelry, books, treats, and other small unique items. If you're interested with future readings, or tarot card readings, this place offers those services too. There's honestly no other shop that is unique like Dragonmarsh within Riverside or the I.E area. When you enter the store, there is a nice scented aroma, and the atmosphere is calming, quiet. I love the ambience when I visit this shop! It really is great place to check out, after walking around the busy/loud crowds in the downtown area. The prices are also affordable, budget friendly, depending if you're looking for something specific. The staff are very knowledgable and are friendly to help you search for anything that you might need. Another great addition that makes Dragonmarsh special, is their cute cat Pepper! Pepper is the store cat that loves to roam around, and observe customers. During COVID-19, you can purchase items through their website & have it shipped to you! Once quarantine restrictions are lifted, check out the shop and be sure to help this amazing family owned business! :) read more

Knowledgeable, courteous, well stocked, diversity driven, and ethical are just a few words that I could use to describe this wonderful store. Everything from classes to crafts, gifts to grimoire!! This place has it all. If you can't find it, you just need to ask a staff member. Chances are they can find it, make it or order it. If they can't, they can probably point you in the right direction read more

Good place for this type of products. I would definitely go back if I need to pick up any future supplies.

LOVED THIS PLACE. Was looking for protection items and I stumbled upon this gem! I found exactly what I was looking for and more. The staff was so friendly and helpful.

This business is so lovely! They let me photograph their shop cat and I've been meaning to upload the photos for so long. She's such a sweetheart. Everyone that works there is kind and so helpful. They gave me great tea advice! Their tea selection is incredible and everything I've tried is delightful. I also love their incenses! They are so kind and the environment is so nice. Plus, their cat is basically a model. Absolutely worth visiting! read more

I've been to Dragonmarsh many many many times. I love the ambience and the vibe in the shop and I've actually taken classes there as well. The staff is knowledgeable and kind and they have a treasure trove of items to peruse. Give yourself lots of time to shop (when the quarantine is lifted) in the meantime I'm sure you can shop online. They have a very sweet cat too. You can see pictures of him on the website I know that. I think his name is Pepper. Happy Easter Pepper and Dragonmarsh staff, hope to see you all soon! Stay safe read more

I love this store. I first discovered this after I moved to Riverside (on Lemon street a few minutes away) in 2003. I sometimes need herbs and they have the best (and only) source of herbs I can find for my needs without having to travel to San Diego or Los Angeles or order from the internet (often from outside of the US and with more expensive shipping costs). The cost has gone up over the years for many herbs (and incense) but for the most part they are still reasonably affordable for someone like myself without a regular income. So, when I need herbs for my remedies and 'potions', I go to Dragon Marsh, and when I do, I often find something else that catches my eye that I like. I especially love that they have a staff member now who happens to be a friendly cat. Sadly, after we could no longer afford to live in Riverside, we lost our home on Lemon St... I live in Hemet now, but still come back now and then to shop at Dragon Marsh. read more

I am so thankful they are open during these crazy times! Staff is so friendly, knowledgeable & they practice safe Covid protocol. I absolutely love their blessed candles & highly recommend you give them a visit to add some magic and balance to your day! read more

I visited Dragonmarsh the other time and had a magic experience. I'm a like bit of an awkward person and I felt very comfortable. I was able to have great conversation with everyone there. I definitely will be going back. And I highly recommend you go check them out. read more

This was an ok place to check out some random stuff. I mostly got the vibe that they concentrate on stuffed animals, spices and candles. They had a few rocks and minerals. I did not really find what I was looking for. Cool place thou. read more

Dragonmarsh - Herbs & Spices Near Me - Riverside, California

Oils, Spices, & Everything Nices .... Oh. AND A Controversial Legal Battle Over Racism SITREP When walking this part of Riverside, I have slight reminisce of being in Old Sacramento. Not quite. But kinda. Elegant older stores in older buildings, though, is definitely the norm here. This historic area of Riverside features some dynamic older structures - such as the Mission Inn, the Old City Hall, the DeAnza Hotel, the Jackson Building, and the Harada House. These last two structures are of particular import, and I'll get into the history of them in a bit, though for now, I will mention that DRAGONMARSH - this sweet, quaint, larger store-version of a Renaissance Faire Booth - is epically housed inside the Jackson Building. ITEMS OF NOTE There are so many wonderful items to be gotten here. I was lucky that owner SAGE - an extremely personable and pleasant gentleman with a shared interest in Ren Faires, Swords, Mystical Potions, and a seller of Special Teas & Fragrant Incense - had time to share with me his wares. Besides the above items, there are also: * Fabrics with 15 different patterns of skulls, or skulls & crossbones, or...more skulls! * Witches Hats! * Wizards Wands (You'd like these, Joe K.) * Cute knick-knacks like miniature hour (minute?) glasses And lots of other cool stuff that would make fun stuff at a SciFi meet-up or Anime convention. But there's definitely more to this place, and for a moment, I definitely felt like I was a kid looking for mushrooms, and accidentally stumbling onto hallowed Indian Burial grounds.... LOST CULTURE As time marches on, there are heart-wrenching stories of communities of people, immigrants from other lands, finding homes, founding businesses, and establishing a new life for themselves and their families. The beginning of the Asian American community in Riverside is barely documented, but it started - as much with this region did - in agriculture, and in Riverside specifically, with citrus. Large communities of both Chinese & Japanese immigrants lived in Riverside as early as the 1880s, and yet merely 40 years later by the Roaring 20s, had nearly vanished because of the intense bigotry against them. And for the Japanese-Americans, their numbers were further decimated by that ugly chapter in American history with their forced removal to internment camps during WWII. THE HARADA HOUSE One barometer of this ethnic pressure centered around this building that Dragonmarsh is in - known now as the Jackson Building - and the man who owned the business here back in the early 20th Century. Both his business, and his home that he (tried) to by in Riverside became a legal controversy: From the UC Riverside Asian American website: "In 1915, Riverside became the stage for a challenge to the Alien Land Law when Issei (first-generation, immigrant Japanese) restaurant owner Jukichi Harada bought a home in downtown Riverside in his Nisei (second generation, American-born) children's names. His new neighbors- mostly White- resisted his presence, first trying to buy him out and then taking him to court. The case went all the way to the California Superior Court as The People of the State of California vs Jukichi Harada and was eventually decided in favor of the Haradas. The Harada house (built in 1884) still stands at 3356 Lemon Street and was designated a National Historic Landmark (by the National Park Service and the U.S. Department of the Interior) in 1990." And here I thought I was just going to look at some Ren Faire knick-knacks. THE LOWDOWN A terrific store with all sorts of eclectic items for the Ren Faire / SciFi-Fantasy enthusiasts, standing within the hallowed ground of one this state's most controvesial legal battles over racism. read more

When I was in college, I would come down to downtown once in a while. Sometimes when I wanted to get away from the noise and bustle of campus, I would hop on the bus and study in the Downtown Library. After I was done studying, I would walk around the downtown area just to see what was around in the area. I love tea, and when I saw this place, it was a dream come true. I bought a lot of their loose tea collections and really miss this spot. Loose tea leaves places are hard to come by where I am now. Hoping to be able to stop by again soon. read more
