THIS SHOP IS WONDERFUL! I happened across Maison Margan while exploring Montreal in the Fall. What…read morea find! The owner runs it, and she is absolutely lovely. She specializes in Argan oil based skin care products. She has 11 different fragrant selections (that each product comes in so you can layer them) and every one of them is luxurious, rich, and absolutely lovely. There's an after shower body oil- (I love #10), a daytime and nighttime facial oil, a salt scrub, and lots of other products I haven't tried yet. I bought the body oil first and it made my skin so velvety soft, and I smelled so freaking good, that I went back the very next day to buy more. I purchased the day and night time oils, as well as the salt scrub, and they are all amazing. I'm totally addicted. I returned in December, and Margan remembered me - which is uncommon these days. She's so friendly and helpful. I brought my Mom with me this trip. I had been telling her how wonderful the scents and products are, and when she started smelling them she said "oh my goodness! They're all so beautiful how can anyone decide on just one?!" YES - they're that wonderful. I'm not doing the place or the products justice, but I love supporting local businesses and this one is amazing. You won't regret stopping by. She's online at https://maisonmargan.com/en You'll get better info there -but the products are fantastic and Margan is lovely so I wanted to support her and recommend her. Give it a try!

I also saw Native American dream catchers and other Native spiritual items but unless I get that from a person of First Nation's ancestry or from the reservation directly or at the annual Pow-Wow, I generally stay away from that stuff, but that's just me. The girl who runs it is very friendly and generally the folks there are pretty helpful. It really focuses on crystals and stones, they don't really have books, tarot cards, candles, botanicals which most stores dedicated to craft and Pagan/Wicca do so just be aware of that.
