Gargoyles Statuary

Such a cool little gem in U-district, it's tiny but full of the oddest and coolest decor and tools for your craft. They have everything to fulfill your witchy dreams and items for your altars like statues of your patron deities, as well as incense blends for your specific deities. The incense smells absolutely phenomenal, I bought some and everything smells lovely now. The employees and owner is very helpful and kind. I got loads of help and patience when it came to purchasing a tarot deck. The person helping me would pull the cards out and let me actually go through the artwork, I wanted a deck with gilded edges and they brought me a deck from a local artist that made a animal/nature inspired deck with gilded edges and it was perfect. I picked that and some incense to cleanse it as well as some candles for a cord cutting ritual. Thank you so much for your help, and I love my replacement deck for the one that got destroyed. I will be back for that beautiful Hekate statue and for incense. Please support this shop and local artists :)

Best little shop ever! During covid they were super careful which I really appreciate. I love all the local art, I always leave with more than I meant to get and they just have the cutest, most interesting things. I really really wanted one of the plushies last time I was there but I'll be back for one.

One-of-a-kind shop to check out if you're in the U District area! They have tons of interesting trinkets from statues to books to jewelry. The way the store is set up reminded me of an antiques shop curated with interesting gothic and witchy items. The staff is friendly and told us about local artists that they were featuring in their store. Note that they do require masks (but will provide one if you've forgotten yours). Come check it out!

Such a fun & unique shop filled with all sorts of goodies. There's really nothing quite like it. A true Seattle gem.

I grew up in Seattle and this was a real cool spot to stop at when my friends and I were in high school. Fast forward 10+ years and this store has once again become a favorite of not only mine but my six year old son who refers to it as "the devil store" (his #1 fav store next to Archie McPhee) and now has his own collection of "furrybones" he chooses from here. It's a weekly stop now. So so many cool and authentic finds, wide range of prices too so if you're looking for a smile something or gift or forever decor for your home it will be found here. Staff is also so amazing! We love that they share their knowledge with us and love to answer questions as they're definitely passionate about this place and everything it holds. :) love love love

Such a cool independent store on the Ave selling witchy stuff. This is a good place to find unique gifts.

The store has been a gem of the university district since the 1990s. And that's about as long as I have been going there! I took a break and just visited again after 15 years. I was still overwhelmed at the amazing choices that they had. I always walk away with something from the store. They have so many beautiful products and really unique treasures I've never seen before. The store smells amazing and the owner is warm and gracious. They are social distancing right now and only allow five people in the store, which is really nice. I did have to wait 15 minutes when there was no line but it was worth it when I got inside. They also take appointments if you don't like to wait. I felt like I had a personal shopper when i got inside. I can't wait to come back and drop more cash, hopefully without waiting 15 years this time.

Undeniably one of the cooler stores I experienced during my recent trip to Seattle, Gargoyles Statuary is yet another awesome joint I experienced in the University District's "The Avenue," a historic neighborhood with a variety of restaurants, stores, etc. I can't tell you how much I wanted to bring something home, but I was afraid that flying I'd end up freaking people out AND going over my weight limit. But man, this place is so awesome. Started in 1992, Gargoyles Statuary offers an amazing selection of gargoyles and pagan, Celtic, metaphysical, and esoteric art and gifts. Gargoyles Statuary features classic gargoyles, Egyptian statues, gods and goddesses, hand-made creatures, monsters and winged guardians in plaster, concrete and resin for the home and garden. While it all sounds rather horrifying, Gargoyles Statuary has designs that run the gamut between contemplative, fierce, humorous, satirical and even whimsical.Gargoyles Statuary even has an artist, Victor Moray, who custom makes fangs. Gargoyles Statuary carries local art, angels, books/journals, tarot, candleholders, candles/incense/oils, door knockers, ritual wares, and much, much more. Quite honestly, there's a lot I could have gotten here and been incredibly happy. No, it's probably not for everyone but you'd probably be surprised as there's so much cool stuff here. Do you have to be Pagan to appreciate Gargoyles Statuary? Not at all (though this does strike me as retail paradise for Pagans). Seattle is still opening up in terms of the pandemic. Gargoyles Statuary is following required regulations and they are on their website. They offer curbside pick-up, limited numbers of people inside, a limited time inside (20-30 minutes), and they will make private appointments with folks. If you're anywhere near Seattle's University District, Gargoyles Statuary is one of the more unusual area shops but it's definitely worth a visit with great items, great people, and a wonderful atmosphere.

If you're into the unusual and darker side of gifts....or perhaps you relish art gargoyle style....then this is your kind of store. A vast variety to choose from, helpful and handy staff, detailed oriented and quite friendly. Good service, great prices and fantastic selection.

An incredible, eclectic store with great staff. They require guests to wear a mask and are setting such a good example! It's so frustrating to see people get tired of being covid aware so seeing how easy it is for them to take precautions is so refreshing. Thanks for being a safe place for the weird and at-risk!
