What To Find In A Neighborhood 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 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.

Beyond incense, there are those innumerable products one won't ever find in any other type of store but one dedicated to magic. First there are the tarot decks, laid out on display to advertise the beautiful artistry of their illustrations. Like the incense, the beautiful designs are meant to be effective, in this case by calling out to anyone looking for a personal connection to a particular deck. Often the bookshelves will be somewhat spare but excellent, full of books meant to be informative in the most directly practical way.

There are supplies ranging from athames to crystal balls. Most will have an abundance of statues of Goddesses and Gods, and these too might well have been charged with the deity's presence. There will likely be powders and potions, usually labeled according to each's intended effect.

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.

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.

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.
