Madame Meerkat's Cabinet of Curiosities

Photography by 3Spade7Star @3Spade7Star_photography January 25, 2026 - Sunday Madame Meerkat’s Cabinet of Curiousities is a delightful spooky & eclectic metaphysical shop to visit in Wilmington, North Carolina. I only had a hour in this store before it closed. Not enough time to see everything, yet I had a pleasant time browsing items in this store. The store has a skeleton in a chair greeting you at the entrance and a meerkat as its symbol & mascot. A meerkat is a mongoose from South Africa. The lady at the shop was very kind and gave me a sticker of the shop. I saw on the sticker a meerkat dressed in Victorian clothing. Inside the store is an enchanting tea & coffee bar. After scanning the teas offered in the store to drink today, I wish I had sampled the DRAGON'S HOARD, SMOKY BLACK TEA they had. It has a blend of Black Tea, Lapsang Soushong Tea, Cocoa Nib, Allspice, Cinnamon, Cloves, Carob, Calendula, Cornflower, and Safflower. Lapsang Soushong tea is my favorite tea and has a unique smoky flavor. Very difficult to find and only in specialty high end grocery stores or teahouse places. I purchased two dragon bloodstones for $3 each before the store closed. The store’s highlights: A tea & coffee bar with unique tea blends and a sitting area to drink & converse. It was the first time I ever saw and found a bone throwing divination kit for purchase in a store. It had a scan code beside it to learn how to use the bone kit as well. They offered small kits for $9.99 and large kits with an instruction book for $39.99. If you want a ready made divination kit, these are ideal. Most of the items in the store had scan codes to link you with information of the merchandise being sold. The store has an assortment of occult jewelry with Lilith sigils and rare occult symbols. I never see this in a metaphysical store. The bookshelves area has a LBGTQ & Sex Magic section. Wild! The sticker with a meerkat - a great idea to give to store patrons and definitely makes the shop visit memorable with this unique memento. Kind & helpful customer service Madame Meerkat’s Cabinet of Curiousities is the place to see if you want to have a one of a kind experience in a metaphysical store.

Absolutely incredible place, extremely friendly, locally owned and operated and so is everything inside. Found the most unique stuff here and will be coming back every chance I get. Bones skulls, pendulums, hundreds of different stones, handmade jewelry the list goes on and on.

I walked around this store for over an hour when I visited NC in July. I loved everything in it. There was a variety of awesome things. I could have gone broke in this store, but I had to have discipline. I purchased a couple of bracelets, an evil eye pendant, a few crystals, and a fox tail for my daughter. The prices were very reasonable. I wish this store was local to me in Florida, but I haven't found any that compare. Will definitely visit again next time I'm in NC.

Came here for the first time and had such a pleasant experience. They have everything from home brewed teas, to spell jars, candles, and crystals galore! Such a welcoming space for all levels with friendly staff. Will definitely be back to stock my growing collection.

Love this shop so so much! A great selection of crystals, rings,books and so much more! Make sure you grab some tea or even a reading while here!
