An Afternoon Of Shopping At A 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 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.

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.

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.

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.
