New Age stores provide essentials such as crystals, tarot cards and incense to aid people in spiritual healing. Many also provide classes and other services.

Liss is pleased to have an on-call psychic reader come in periodically for readings, as well as teaching various classes including chakra balancing and crystal healing.

Crystals

Crystals — often referred to by new age practitioners as “stone allies” — are powerful energy oscillators or transefers used to clear spaces, remove negativity and amp up intentions related to healing, wealth accumulation and love.

Rose quartz is widely associated with love and self-love, while clear quartz can be programmed or charged with any intention. Amethyst promotes intuition, restful sleep and protection. At Stones of Spirit rock shop in Knoxville, Tennessee owned by Linda Bonds, moldavite – an eye-catching green meteorite-created crystal that recently made waves via social media app TikTok – has been selling out like hotcakes.

Red Bank, New Jersey-based A Year and a Day Mystical Shoppe provides crystals, smudging sprays, aromatherapy products, books supporting various spiritual paths such as Paganism, Wicca, Witchcraft, Santeria and Buddhism at its New Year and Day Mystical Shoppe. Furthermore, they also provide Tarot classes, aura photography services and Reiki sessions.

Tarot Cards

New age stores frequently provide tarot card readings as an additional revenue stream. Tarot cards are divided into suits of wands, cups, coins (or pentacles) and swords that represent different aspects of life; their positions and interactions within a spread provide different interpretations for these cards.

Although many associate tarot with fortune-telling, it can actually be used for divination and personal growth. Utilizing its cards allows you to connect to your intuition and inner wisdom more directly.

Rider-Waite decks have long been an indispensable feature, yet there are numerous variations available today. Whimsical cards such as Gummy Bear Tarot and Wonderland Tarot explore lighter themes, while darker versions such as Dark Moon and Archeon explore darker aspects of our psychology. New age stores also sell inspirational decks featuring quotes and artwork on them.

Incense

Incense is a widely available product sold at new age stores. While its fragrance can be pleasing, the smoke produced from burning incense contains chemicals such as benzene and formaldehyde that can pose significant health risks, including irritating eyes, nose and throat irritation as well as lung problems due to particulate matter contained within incense smoke.

Many people utilize incense for ritualistic use. People can select from an assortment of scents that suit their needs – for instance, frankincense is great for spiritual protection and relaxation while lavender can aid sleep, divination and divination; copal can enhance love purification while elecampane may bring psychic visions or astral projection. Some individuals also use incense as part of morning devotionals or to relax during meditation sessions.

Candles

Candles play an integral role in many religious and spiritual practices, such as Wicca, Paganism, Witchcraft, Hoodoo and Santeria. Candles help create sacred spaces as well as enhance energy during spellwork or meditation sessions.

Scented candles can help change your mood through aromatherapy, providing relaxation and relieving stress. Some also use them to combat unpleasant odors in their home or create a relaxing ambiance.

There is a wide range of candle wax types, fragrances and herbs used in them – some natural while others synthetic – that may contain toluene and benzene emissions when burned; those with chronic lung conditions should take note when purchasing candles made from these chemicals. Many natural fragrance candles contain essential oils instead of harsh chemicals for maximum safety.

Jewelry

Jewelry is worn to express something, such as an engagement ring that declares you engaged. Spiritual jewelry helps connect individuals to their higher selves for wiser decision-making in this life and the next.

Crystals are an increasingly popular choice of jewelry among those practicing new age spirituality, as each crystal offers specific properties to aid people’s intentions. For instance, obsidian can help one find inner truth while red agate facilitates emotional healing.

Metaphysical stores frequently host workshops on topics like tarot readings, aura photography, guided meditations and guided visualizations. They also host events and gatherings for groups like Wicca, Pagans and followers of alternative spiritual paths – these gatherings can provide the perfect way to meet others who share similar interests in spirituality or new age practices.
