An Afternoon Of Shopping At A New Age Store

By Agnes Dickson


A local magical establishment can be a wonderful source of essential goods and services, while providing an important part of any spiritual lifestyle. These stores are thought of as places for Wiccans and occultists, as well as Pagans and of course the general public. All are welcome, and most people visiting a new age store can enjoy not just the products such a store offers for sale, but the mystical ambiance they provide.

Any store of this sort will sell various types of incense, but a smart shopper will object that they can find incense at their local head shop for lower prices. The difference is that the incenses sold at a magical supply shop will usually have been manipulated magically by experts at their craft. An incense or oil so manipulated will often then be purposed toward some magical end, such as gaining wealth.

Once one is past the incense are all the products that one can only imagine finding in a store devoted to magic. Here one might find the perfect tarot deck, and decks come in a variety of gorgeous illustrative styles in order to appeal to every taste. Just as with incense, the bright colors and bold designs are aspects of the cards' individual appeal, an attempt to make a match with one special customer.

Products will range from crystal balls to athames. The store ought to have a range of Goddess or God statues, which like the incense may have been worked on by someone who has worked with that deity over a long time. Given the clientele, there might be potions and powders, each one perhaps labeled according to its particular purpose.

Often these modest shops are the real cultural and social hub available for people with a taste for the esoteric, and they are happy to spend their money there despite the somewhat steeper price tag. There is no denying it that these days online shopping is most economical option even with the shipping fees. There might always be that occasion when some item just has to be bought online.

Most occult or esoteric shop will feature tarot readings and other psychic services for those who might turn to them in need. Typically these consultations take place in a small booth or room separable from the main store by a curtain. There might astrology focused practices of various kinds, which can be offered by a local contractor or the owner herself or himself.

Many of these shops are owned by people without any magical leanings of their own. The others might have owners who also provide lessons in magic, typically after hours. The shop might in fact be the gathering place for a circle of friends in the community that comes to buy their Book of Shadows and their statues, buoying the group above what mere dues might provide.

Whether one just wants a new kind of aroma to savor in the air or wants a paranormal solution, a trip to one of these shops can be well worth the while. Perhaps those made nervous by magic ought to think twice. Anyone else might well like to stop by for an hour.
