A Trip To A New Age Store

By Agnes Dickson


These shops can make for a fine go to source for essential services and products, all the while perhaps making new and fruitful acquaintances . To most people, these might just be odd shops where wizards and gurus get their potions, together with a few adventurous passersby. They too are welcome to sample the unique ambiance of 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.

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.

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.

A New Age shop will also feature services such as tarot card readings and other mediumistic practices for customers seeking insight into some problem. Often these will take place in a small room with a curtain that can be drawn for extra privacy. Services can include astrological services and even energy work, and may be provided either by the proprietor or by a contractor without any permanent relationship to the shop.

There are plenty of occult shops that are not ultimately owned by people who are practitioners themselves. Shops that are sometimes offer after hours classes in various magic practices, either after hours or on a day the business closes altogether. A shop might be home to a coven, purchasing their wands and gowns there to supplement the group beyond their periodic dues.

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.
