Explore.Cincinnati, 2024, “Step through the dark wood-framed façade of Hierophany & Hedge, and you’ll enter a space bathed in warm, ambient lighting, enticing aromas, decorated with ancient relics, rich wooden finishes, and the welcoming smiles of shopkeepers Coil, Augur, and their two cats. Wonder is just the beginning of the emotions you’ll experience here.”
Cincinnati’s Bizarre Baazars, 2024, “Walking through the door of Hierophany & Hedge feels like taking a step into a fantasy novel.”
Only in NKY: Unveiling the Secrets of Magic Shop Hierophany and Hedge, “The world needs a magic shop,” they explain. “We traveled the world looking for the one that lived in our heads. In the process, we found wonderful places and made many friends and contacts; but we couldn’t find the place that lurked at the edge of our dreams. We recklessly decided that we’d make it ourselves.”
Cincinnati Magazine, Best of 2022, “Let Coil and Augur, the owners of Hierophany & Hedge, introduce you to the wonderful world of magic at their Covington shop . . .”
Cincinnati Magazine, October 2022, “Coil and Augur understand magic as a relationship—whether it’s two people, an individual and an object, or humanity and the universe. In that respect, even if you never find your perfect wand or discover you have a deep, spiritual bond with rose quartz, you’ll still discover magic the second you walk through the door.”
LINK NKY, October 2022, “Coil and Augur certainly make those who enter their shop feel welcome and at home, and that was the intent from the very beginning. As stewards of sorcery, they sought to make Hierophany & Hedge a haven for all those who enter. A place to learn, teach and provide a community for all walks of life.”
Citybeat, Best of Cincinnati 2021, and 2022 “Covington’s newest magic shop, is the place to learn about the mystical, the ethereal and the conjured. This isn’t the kind of shop where your common birthday-party street magician would buy their gags, but rather an apothecary and library, an entryway to fantastic realms.”
City of Covington, May 2022, “When weary of the vagaries of this world, Hierophany & Hedge offers otherworldly charm, eloquence, magic, and a sense of style and bespoke accoutrement. Beyond its sophisticated façade, this little shop is a veritable portal to another place and time, where wizards, witchery, and magic prevail. Its shelves are an apothecary of herbs, talismans, wands, crystals, candles, chalk sigils, and books of spells.”
Citybeat, October 2021, “Walk inside and it seems you’ve tripped over time itself only to have undone the past 150 years of fashion and technology, replacing it with immaculate antique woodwork, jars of curious powders, gemlike stones glittering in the warm sunlight, a wall of handcrafted wands made from woods sourced across the world.”
Indianapolis Monthly, November 2021, “Here, you’ll find all manner of bespoke arcana including a fascinating inventory of candles, crystals, books, talismans, tarot, reagents, amulets, and, the piece de resistance, a storied wood cabinet full of artisan-made custom wands . . .”
