Metaphysical shops provide New Age items like crystals, candles and tarot cards as well as books and gifts. Some locations even host workshops and events specifically for metaphysics enthusiasts.

Goddess Elite in Lakewood, Ohio stands as an excellent example. Owned and run by Lisa and Gene – who were previously itinerant psychics and shamans before settling in Lakewood permanently.

New Age Shops

New Age stores specialize in products related to spirituality and holistic wellness, including crystals, essential oils, supplements, tarot card readings and meditation circles. Some retailers even host yoga workshops.

Retailers that specialize in New Age items often face misconceptions from consumers. Some merchants choose not to use the term, and instead refer to themselves as lifestyle stores in order to appeal to a wider demographic of customers while simultaneously marketing themselves as positive alternatives to mainstream society.

Freedom Rocks in Los Angeles takes a more contemporary approach, selling intention candles, incense, and bundles of herbs.

Psychics

Psychics possess the unique ability to read your energy and give insight into events which have already transpired or will in your life, and also offer spiritual advice and guidance. Many psychics also host classes and workshops where customers can gain more knowledge of metaphysics.

One of the more well-known psychic modalities is clairvoyance – which refers to seeing things that are invisible to our physical eyes through visions or symbols. Clairvoyance acts like a mirror for people seeking guidance along their best path.

Crystals

Crystals may be an emerging wellness trend, but these mineral rocks have long held spiritual significance. Their dark yet translucent appearance gave rise to beliefs that crystals possessed healing powers or energies of their own.

Crystals can be used in a variety of ways, from wearing them as jewelry to decorating your home with them. Some websites sell special talismans and kits like the Mercury Retrograde kit available here.

Some shops emphasize ethical and sustainable sourcing, such as Mama Minerals which sells everything from pyrite for wealth accumulation to rose quartz wands for self-love. Other retailers may provide more cosmic shopping experiences with accessories and gifts like sage bundles or stone wands available for purchase.

Candles

Candles have long been used in spiritual practices to add ambience and induce relaxation, as well as being popular decorative pieces for any special event. Their scent can either relax or invigorate depending on its fragrance – many candles contain odor molecules which interact with proteins in your nose to impact mood, memory, and emotion.

The fourth zone is the outer layer of flame cone surrounding and reaching up toward the air above it, where oxygen-depleted environments allow wax vapors to rise without completely burning off; they also contain unburnt carbon particles that require proper trimming to reduce soot emissions.

Incense

Incense scents can help you enter deeper states of meditation and can provide healing properties to help ease stress and anxiety. Furthermore, using it during prayer services or connecting to spiritual forces may enhance their experience and facilitate prayerfulness.

Incense can help you achieve what you desire in life. Lavender-scented incense sticks may bring love and luck, while patchouli scent connects you with abundance from within and pine aroma brings prosperity and long-term abundance.

Tarot cards

Tarot cards offer an easy and intuitive way to explore divination or connect with your intuition, as well as provide great self-discovery tools and spiritual guidance.

Decks of cards often come with accompanying books that offer insight into the artist’s interpretation of symbolism and archetypes used within each deck, providing greater meaning for your cards and helping you understand what they represent to you. These books may provide additional layers of interpretation.

There are various tarot card decks, each with their own special meaning and symbolism. Some decks may use Christian imagery while others use more occult symbols.
