Great museum and the owner was very good and informative. Great job at keeping everyone covid compliant with a sense of humor. It was a great experience and I cant recommend it enough. Great if you are just getting into the mystical or an old hand at it. Plus the shop has some great stuff as well

Whether youre a neophyte or an aged age, this is an amazing place to learn and view numerous items from the neo pagan movement. Countless pagan treasures can be found at the museum, some of which I would kill to get my hands on if it wouldnt be for karma lol. The owner is super nice and tries to accommodate the customer whenever he can. While there are a couple of steps to get into the front of the building handicapped individuals can enter from the side by simply letting the owner know when purchasing your ticket. I wasnt able to gawk at everything as I wanted because of personal time restraints, but Ill be back again. If youre truly into the craft this place should be a mecca for you to visit. A+++ x 10000000!

Definitely stop by!! Friendliest and most knowledgeable museum staff weve met in a long time. The museum isnt huge, but thorough and interesting. There was a Tarot reader on hand and the gift shop was reasonable. You definitely get your $7 worth of occult!

Fantastic time! Knowledgeable your guide who relayed the tales in a fun accessable way. If you have experiance with or knowledge of the occult he will deep dive anything you ask him about. Amazing collection including items owned by crowley, items from the original hellfire club as well as relics from the first American coven. The new H.R. Geiger piece is worth a revisit if you havnt been back in a while. Extensive giftshop and even bonus items for fans of beat culture including a dream machine drum. Would return!

An amazing and interesting place that mixes history and popular culture. Highly interactive and engaging. Appropriate for all ages and interesting to just about anyone whether or not they are familiar with witchcraft and magick. Part Smithsonian, part PT Barnum. Very well curated by the owners who lovingly know their material and are happy to share every story about it.

My family and I have been visiting the Buckland Museum for the past three years. Steve who is one of the museums curators is knowledgeably descriptive when it comes to sharing the oral history of the beautiful artifacts which are on display. Every year that we come back we leave discussing new things that seem to hide in plain sight throughout the museum. It’s new location shows itself beautifully.Dave, Alex,Mallory and Grandpa (for his 1st visit)

Small place, looks cheesy from the outside, but has lots of amazing stuff inside! Very jovial owners, down to earth, and a nice boutique shop in the front. Lots of unique items. The museum is small but full of really cool historical items. Came here from Detroit, well worth it!

What an incredible museum! Steven, the owner, provides an in-depth intro to the collection and is available to answer your questions (I always have questions). He really knew about everything. There was a wide variety of things to see. My favorites were the wands and crowns, but the tarot and astrology exhibits were also well-curated

Very nice little museum! Owner is personable and kind, very knowledgeable! Anyone who considers themselves Wicca and those wanting more info should stop by! Gift shop has loads of books and some nice crystals! Inner space is walker and wheelchair friendly, plenty of space to maneuver. Front door is a bit narrow and not automated but call ahead and Im sure they will help you with more info. Parking can be a challenge but there are close spaces around back. Enjoy!

Review №63

Quaint, neatly packaged museum with quite a few must-see curiosities (i.e. - Crowley artifacts); gift shop, with new and used books. Staff is friendly, knowledgeable and attentive to guests. There appears to be a break in the salt ring around their demon box, but other than that, this place is a sparkly gem in the scruffy crown of Old Brooklyn Cleveland.

Went here on my birthday and loved it! I will be coming back as it had many interesting things to look at and a great shop for vintage books as well as books on the occult. I would highly recommend. While small, I feel as though I left with a big impression. Great for people looking for an interesting time or for those interested in witchcraft.

Review №68

Not much to see for the price to be honest. Had more fun in the small gift shop. Tour guide was too busy trying to talk to every group that came in to get much info from him.Everything I asked about in the gift shop got a response of I was wondering that too.Need some more staff on days there may be more people through the door and everything needs to be priced. Staff should know where to find information about the items like uses for the crystals and other magickal items, types of metals in the jewelry and if things are available on the website that arent in the store.

Review №69

Theres lots of neat artifacts to examine and story boards to read in this 1000 sq. ft. museum + supplies but theres a roof/building envelop leak thats allowing water to enter and feed mold. The smell is strong. Its an old building that hasnt been maintained adequately.

A small group of us made the trip from WNY to come see the Museum. While not a large space, it certainly holds some incredible treasures for those interested in the history of magickal practice. The staff was incredibly friendly and the director spent the time sharing the stories of the items in the museum and that sharing was absolutely the highlight. Well make the trip again!

Unfortunately I could not stay long, but I would recommend Buckland Museum of Witchcraft to anyone visiting Cleveland!Its a great alternative for those who are interested in history, but dont want to bother with a traditional museum.

Review №73

This review is of the new location. (Disclosure: I wrote a published article about the previous location.) I was skeptical of this move, but what they lost when they bailed on a high foot-traffic ultra hip neighborhood, they more than gained with a larger, more inviting space, and a greatly expanded book selection. And its surely fitting that an off-the-beaten-path museum actually BE a bit off the beaten path, no? Still one of the best and most endearing weirdo destinations in the Midwest.

The place is packed full of oddities, artifacts and great lore. Every piece has a story, and the staff are fantastic...magickal, even, one might say! All-in-all, this is a gem hidden in plain sight. Definitely well worth the price of admission-

I can not wait to explore in here. I am new to this area from Way deep down south Baton Rouge. And I have spent many a hours exploring and learning my craft down in New Orleans and other surrounding areas. I was wondering where i would be able to hand pick any items i may need in the future . happy I went browsing google maps. Look forward to seeing you..

This little witchcraft museum is filled with a lot of cool artifacts! Our visit was very interesting and informative; as these are topics that are rarely mentioned in philosophy classes. If youre in Cleveland, its really close to the Westside Market, so you may as well go! I highly recommend the Buckland - especially if youve always wondered about the culture. Nice folks doing a good thing. :)

Review №91

Great collection..worth a trip. though I wish the owner/ guide would respect Bucklands efforts and successes a bit more by not dumbing down his story so much. It wasn’t very informational and seemed hurried and cheapened. Raymond Buckland wrote many books and had a great family history-This tour felt like “ here’s my collection, Buckland was in it for something to do, any questions?”Maybe hire knowledgeable witches to lead tours ..add intrigue and more information.

We just went today. Im not sure that the cost justifies the tour. We got a quick intro as we walked in and then he left to greet people who just arrived. We walked around for a while and by the time he came back in to tell us more we were ready to leave. Meanwhile, a guy in the corner offered us tarot card readings for $25. Super nice guys but sketchy neighborhood and not much to see. Entire museum is in one big room. Make the readings a part of the tour and it would have been a lot more fun.
