NELLO BOTANICA - Albany, New York

I'm so grateful to have Nello Botanica in our community! The owner, Shana, is incredibly knowledgeable, personable, and truly authentic in the spiritual sense. Every time I visit, I leave with new insights and a deeper understanding. Don’t hesitate to ask questions—whether it’s about what you need or how to use something, she takes the time to guide you and ensure you understand your purchase.

Unlike many spiritual stores where employees are just there for the job (which is fine), Nello Botanica offers so much more. Here, you leave not only with what you need but also with knowledge and a sense of connection to your spirituality and the divine. It’s such a blessing to have a space like this in our community—a place where you feel supported, empowered, and inspired to grow.

Nello Botanica is truly a gem of a store in the Albany area, it is in a great location near Dunkin‘ Donuts and across the parking lot of Market 32. The owner of the store Shana, is extremely friendly, Knowledgeable, and experienced as she is well versed in all areas of spiritual practices and magic; Shana is more than a shop owner, she is a spiritual guide and teacher. Shana is more than happy to answer any questions or concerns in extensive detail and is highly skilled at assigning case specific remedies along with educated explanations on how to do them. Shana does an amazing job with conveying why and how these things work which aids greatly in an overall learning experience.

In terms of products, Nello Botanica is not your run of the mill average spiritual supplies store as the store is packed with unique items that I have not seen in any other spiritual store. There are a wide range of lotions, soaps, sprays, oils, raw ingredients for rituals, niche books and trinkets along with many other useful and rare items that you will not find anywhere else.

The store is as bright, pure and welcoming as the shop owner Shana is and the items in her store reflect the deep homegrown vibes of a traditional spiritual medicine doctor merchant. I highly recommend visiting this store as you will discover knowledge here, and find help as well as supplies to remedy areas of your life and mind that you were perhaps unaware of before. 10/10
