Oja Aje Apothecary & Botanica — Local services in Laurel

I need to preface this by saying, I will not be going to ANY other place for items I need, if she doesn’t have it, I’ll be back when she gets it back in stock. If you’re like me and are unsure about where to start on your journey please, please pay a visit to Oja Aje Apothecary & Botanica. From the moment I entered her beautiful establishment, I felt welcomed and like I was exactly where I needed to be, unfortunately I don’t have the words to describe nor express how overwhelmingly positive the energy was here. I was greeted by a lovely employee who was very helpful and supportive. To my surprise, Ms. Oja Aje herself was there! Y’all, this woman is so sweet beautiful, sweet and informative. I asked her employee for help because she looked as though she was busy taking care of some other things but she took the time to walk me through and educate me and answered my millions of questions. Not once did I feel uncomfortable, not once did I feel I was bothering anyone, not once did I feel as though I was being annoying.

We all don’t know everything and when you have someone that genuinely wants to see you prosper and have success in your knowledge and wisdom, YOU WILL HUMBLE YOURSELF, YOU WILL LISTEN, YOU WILL BE PATIENT and you will appreciate whatever time that she’s taken out of her schedule to teach you. The mastering of learning comes with great humility. 🌻 🍯

This is life not a fools gold...

Simply love this store, the services, the energy and the workers. I go here for most of my spiritual needs…..products and also for readings by Awodele. Awodele is a walking sunshine! His readings are always on point, he explains things in a way that you can understand. He makes recommendations and referrals to others if needed. He specializes in everything herbs/ plants for healing/ protection… you name it. He’ll send pictures of your tarot cards and is available for follow-up questions/thoughts that may arise after the reading ( in case you process slow like me lol) Highly recommend. 10/10. Awodele gave me a safe way back into my spiritual practices...
