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.

Any store of this sort will sell various types of incense, but a smart shopper will object that they can find incense at their local head shop for lower prices. The difference is that the incenses sold at a magical supply shop will usually have been manipulated magically by experts at their craft. An incense or oil so manipulated will often then be purposed toward some magical end, such as gaining wealth.

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.

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.

The average small occult bookstore and supply shop also offers magical services from tarot readings for any who care to pose a question. Such a consultation might occur in some out of the way nook or room against a wall, perhaps through contracted professionals if not directly through the proprietor. Astrological counseling is one of the more common services offered.

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.

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.
