In Short
Picturesque displays of Day of the Dead skeletons lure regular practitioners of Santeria as well as curious passersby into this colorful corner drugstore. Along the left wall, a large red case displays spell oils with names like "Call Him," "Compulsive," and "Road Opener." Incense, herbs and spiritual waters offer cures for every woe imaginable. Staff can appear intimidating at first but warms to serious questions about the religion.
