SERVING HOUSTON SINCE THE MID-1980s
From a small shop on the Katy Freeway to the largest pagan and Wiccan supply store in the Houston area, here’s how the Cauldron became a home for Houston’s magickal community.
WHERE IT ALL BEGAN
The Magick Cauldron opened in the mid-1980s on the Katy Freeway, right next door to JJ’s Sleep Shop, a family business that helped carry the Cauldron while it found its footing in Houston.
Thanks to a dedicated owner and staff, the store quickly became one of the city’s premier pagan and Wiccan supply shops. Customers came for rare and unusual items they couldn’t find anywhere else, for classes taught to the magickal community, and for book signings with well-known pagan authors.
A few years later the Cauldron moved to a more central spot on Richmond Avenue near Kirby Drive. The store kept growing until the inventory outgrew that building too, and the next home was on Westheimer in the heart of Montrose. Longtime customers may remember that the parking there could be a real adventure.
2424 MONTROSE BLVD.
Staff came and went over the years, but there have always been knowledgeable people behind the counter ready to answer your questions. And if you’ve visited, you’ve met the shop dogs, who greet everyone at the door and are sometimes a little too eager to help you shop. To many customers they became old friends.
The Westheimer store was the hub of Houston’s pagan community for years, until we were able to buy a property of our own, free of rent and landlords. In early 2001 the Cauldron made its final move to 2424 Montrose Blvd., the former home of the Phoenix Comic Book Store.
The bigger space let the inventory grow into what it is today: the largest selection of pagan and Wiccan supplies in the Houston area, plus swords, knives and other blades for cosplayers and Renaissance festival fans across Texas. And there’s a parking lot, so you can pull right in.
