This is the botanica to get all your stuff for Voudou / Voodoo in Miami. Authentic and Haitian, this is definitely where you can sample a lot of Haitian religious culture. There's even a temple in the back for ceremonies and occasional card readings! This place is owned by a Voudou priest.

For the goods though, I thought it was kind of expensive. Staff didn't allow pictures inside. Not quite so friendly for tourists, as the people here seems to be serious on their work. Nothing nice-looking like the voodoo museum you could find in New Orleans, although the ones here seem to be more authentic. There are other botanicas within walking distance to find similar goods.

You won't find herbs here except for potted herbs out in the front going for $5 (at least for a big pot of fresh basil).
