A Witch’s Guide to Albania: Herbal Shops, Supplies & More

Reading Time: 4 minutes

Albania has always had a bit of a witchy undercurrent if you know where to look.

You may not find polished metaphysical shops on every corner, but you will find herbal shops, mountain teas, incense, Turkish bazaars, folk remedies, and tiny stores hiding surprisingly useful ritual supplies.

Since Albania is not in the EU, finding specific witchcraft supplies can take some creativity. This guide covers the best places I’ve found for herbs, candles, incense, tarot decks, oils, and other magical tools in Tirana, Vlorë, and online.

Where to Buy Incense

As I’ve explored Albania, I’ve discovered that some of the best spots for incense and herbs are the Turkish-style variety shops. In Vlorë, there are two Turkish stores called Unbelievable. These shops are fantastic for picking up incense sticks, resins, and various herbal blends.

Best Witchcraft Shops in Tirana

Tirana has a few surprisingly good spots for spiritual tools, herbs, tarot decks, incense, and other magical finds.

For items that bridge the gap between Japanese pop culture and mystical tools, Raven Store is worth a stop. While it is primarily an anime-themed jewelry store and café, it’s a fun place to pick up witchy jewelry and niche tarot decks. I particularly enjoyed flipping through the Occult Tarot deck when I stopped by. It’s also a cozy spot to pull a card or two while enjoying a matcha latte.

For a more traditional spiritual shop, Nimfa Tirana is another great option. They carry crystals, tarot cards, palo santo, incense, and other supplies, making it one of the better places in Tirana to browse if you’re looking for actual metaphysical tools.

Agatha Herbs is also a standout, especially for those who want a wider range of supplies. They carry incense, tarot decks, oils, crystals, resins, spiritual colognes, and other harder-to-find ritual items. They also sell online, which is especially helpful if you’re outside Tirana.

Where to Buy Herbs

One of the most authentic ways to connect with Albanian witchcraft is through the land itself. I always recommend visiting local herb shops and wandering through the open-air markets. You will often find farmers selling bundles of wild-harvested herbs, such as mountain tea (Çaj Mali), sage, and rosemary. You can also check out local brands like Merja or Teamra Herbals who have in person and online shops and very reasonable rates.

Where To Buy Crystals

There aren’t any dedicated crystal shops in Albania that I know of, but you can occasionally find random assortments of them at local gift and souvenir shops.

Buying Witchcraft Supplies Online

Sometimes, despite the abundance of local markets, you’ll find yourself searching for something very specific—a black candle, crystal sphere, altar cloth, herb jars, or a particular incense that simply isn’t available locally.

When that happens, I use TEMU. I’ve had surprisingly good luck ordering supplies from them in Albania, and the selection is much larger than anything I’ve found locally.

Most of my orders arrive within 2–3 weeks, and shipping has been free on every order I’ve placed (Typically a €17 minimum spend threshhold for free shipping)

For the basics, don’t overlook Albania’s 150 or 160 LEK shops (similar to an American Dollar General or Family Dollar). They’re great for inexpensive candles, glass trays, bowls, storage containers, and other simple items that work perfectly for an altar or ritual space.

The shops are only the practical part. Albania’s folklore, sacred mountains and ancient sites reveal a much more mystical side of the country.
