What To Find In A Neighborhood New Age Store

By Agnes Dickson


A nearby store can provide a convenient source for vital products as well as services, and simply shopping there can be part of one's life in magic. Most of the public sees these stores as places where witches and magicians mingle, as well as the occasional non-magical straggler. The more the merrier, and anyone with a taste for the unusual might find themselves enjoying the ambiance, as well as the products, at a new age store.

The first thing many people think of when imagining the inside of a magic shop is the incense, which can often be gotten at less price at a nearby smoke shop. However, there are differences that can matter beyond mere scent, such as the fact that the incense might have been made by a practicing witch. An oil or incense made by trained hands way well have been tasked to some desirable goal, like finding love.

More than just incense lie all the products that can't be found anywhere but in a new age shop. One of the most popular items is the tarot deck, which comes in ever more imaginative varieties, each one more sumptuously illustrated than the one before it. As with the incense, there is often a specific purpose to their aesthetic appeal, as it is part of connecting personally to the deck one chooses.

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.

Little occult shops are frequently the one location within reach for people who have a passion for the paranormal side of life, and to them it matters that they're spending their dollars there even if it can be a bit more expensive. For certain, online shopping offers a variety and price that are hard to beat. Many will shop for certain larger items at the shop while economizing on everyday incense.

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.

Overall, these stores can make a diverting visit whether the intention is spiritual teaching, equipment, or even just decoration. Only those who fear the unseen had better stay away. All others might find time spent there to be time well spent.
