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.
A wide range of items will be available, ranging from a crystal ball in any color to an athame of any size. Often there will be quite an impressive statuary of deities, whether Gods or Buddhas, which very well might have have been vested with energy by someone familiar with them. There is a good chance one will find oils, ointments, even loose herbs, each tasked to some particular end.
These establishments are often the only meeting place available to those who share a common interest in magic, and it is important to them that they be supported despite the prices. It is generally true that shopping online offers a wider variety and a better price. While for some items price will be the predominant concern, most people who practice an alternative spirituality recognize the need to share their precious dollars in their own communities where it is feasible to do so.
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.
There are plenty of occult shops that are not ultimately owned by people who are practitioners themselves. Shops that are sometimes offer after hours classes in various magic practices, either after hours or on a day the business closes altogether. A shop might be home to a coven, purchasing their wands and gowns there to supplement the group beyond their periodic dues.
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.
