The Holy Rose

A visit to The Holy Rose leaves a conflicting impression: while the store boasts a variety of unique and ethically sourced spiritual items, the atmosphere is stifling, marred by an air of rigidity and exclusivity. Signs warning against touching or photographing the merchandise contribute to an unwelcoming environment that clashes with the very essence of spiritual exploration. The owner's judgmental responses to reviews only solidify this atmosphere. A potential oasis for seekers ends up feeling more like a gated community with stringent, unspoken rules. Those sensitive to energy may find themselves better served by other, more inviting spiritual shops. *** In response to your recent feedback, it's clear that our perspectives on spiritual spaces and customer experience differ significantly. While rules are necessary, it's how they're communicated and enforced that defines the atmosphere of a space. My intent was not to disrespect, but to share my personal experience. I appreciate your unique offerings but felt the environment was unwelcoming. Thank you for your time.

From the moment you walk in the store, you feel the energy that is within it. Spend some time to look around and was helped with questions and suggestions. My best friend and I didn't want to leave!! I found some wonderful pieces that spoke to me, and I will cherish and use them in my daily life. I can't wait to go back and let my heart find more valuable gems!! What a great experience!!! 🫶💕

This store has interesting things in it, but my daughter (way over 13) and I both agree about the rigidity. Just be aware if you go there. Different stores have different personalities and this store is more serious than most. For example, my daughter and I wanted to introduce my young grandaughter (under 13) to the world of metaphysical stores. Missed reading the sign and was told to leave. Our mistake to miss the sign ... agreed, but not the impression we were looking for. Then, we went to Dancing Moon, where our young lady was welcomed and given a shiny plastic "crystal" that she loved. During covid, they (the holy rose) required their employee to disinfectant our hands upon entering and they called out to me because i placed my hands in my sweatshirt pocket or touched my face ... disinfectant required again immediately! We are animal lovers and without reading other signs, bent over to touch the cat. Do not touch that cat! Ok. Got it. There were signs. Btw ... we are vaccinated and my daughter is immune compromised but even we were caught off guard. So, interesting store, but do not forget to read all signs and obey their rules, which we agree they have the right to have. You will be called out immediately on errors. Note: edited to fix typos. Don't want them to think I cannot read their signs :) Note after owner comment: Your perspective on us as customers is noted. Have a blessed day.

I have never actually been to The Holy Rose. However, I was seriously considering it for my friend’s birthday……until I read the reviews. It was not the negative reviews that are keeping me away, but the owners response to them. Any negative review had a hostile response and that is not the energy I want to be around for a tarot card reading.

I visited The Holy Rose today (a very hard day for me where I really needed some good energy) and was so happy with my experience. Chelsea and Shana were absolutely amazing and genuine. I am pretty new to exploring my spirituality and the advice they gave was incredible. I never leave reviews, but I want them to know how much I appreciate their support today. I wish you all nothing but the best and am looking forward to coming back often.

I visited today for the very first time. I have to say I am extremely shocked to see the 1 star reviews as I didn't sense any negativity at all. Both workers were extremely sweet and inviting to me and I could feel their compassion for me as they asked me to return when I could. It seems the all the negative reviews have been made by people who simply didn't like the rules which is honestly absurd. Regardless of whether someone agrees or not is irrelevant. You are entering someone else's buisness and should be respectful. You don't want someone going to your house and wiping mud on your carpets, grabbing whatever they want out of your pantry and refrigerator or breaking your china, same logic. I will definitely be returning to the holy rose as soon as I can, as I have much to do and feel sincerely welcome here.

Lovely shop, quality items ethically sourced, staffed by beautiful folks who care and want to share of their vast experienced knowledge. You will be surrounded by healing source spirit carried on the ancient wings of many traditions. Come, open, checking ego at the door. This sacred grove awaits. What a treasure in Raleigh and the region surrounding.
