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.

The most common product a magic goods shop sells is probably the incense, and it is no secret that the local tobacco shop or even convenience store often sells it for less. However, there are factors in incense beyond a nice aroma, such as whether it was mixed by someone trained in magical use of herbs. If so, an average looking stick of incense can have a delightful dual purpose, like bringing success.

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.

A wide range of items will be available, ranging from a crystal ball in any color to an athame of any size. Often there will be quite an impressive statuary of deities, whether Gods or Buddhas, which very well might have have been vested with energy by someone familiar with them. There is a good chance one will find oils, ointments, even loose herbs, each tasked to some particular end.

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.

Not every such shop is owned by someone who is mystically inclined. Those that are might offer lessons in magic, provided by the owner after regular hours. They might even find that the store is home to an entire group, buying their books and robes off the shelves and thereby supporting their small community beyond whatever dues they might pay.

In all, these shops can be useful to visit whether one is looking for an answer, a new life, or just something to make the living room smell nice. The only reason not to visit is if one is afraid of magic. Otherwise, a magical supplies outlet might be well worth a half hour out of one's busy evening.
