What You Can Find In A Wicca Shop

By Rachael Gutierrez


Whether you're just curious about Wicca as a religion or are a long-time practitioner, a Wicca shop can be a fun place to explore. Many towns and major cities have at least one small business that carries metaphysical items. These stores are full of many interesting artifacts and supplies that anyone can use, even if they don't follow the belief system.

These stores often carry a large stock of book for a wide number of religions. The Wicca books include step-by-step instructions for spells, or accounts from famous Wiccans. The books also have information about extremely rare spiritual practices; because of this, a pagan store a great place to do research.

Incense is a key part of many Wiccan rituals and spells. This means that pagan stores are an amazing place to find different blends and scents. Each kind of incense has its own meaning or purpose, but they can also be burned for the smell alone. Try burning some instead of spraying a scent from a can the next time you clean.

During your visit, don't forget to stop by the store's selection of crystals and other interesting stones. These stones are thought to have important meanings or even powers, which means they are used in many rituals or as good luck charms. Look for stones meant for studying, healing, or anything else you can think of. And, of course, they look really pretty, too.

Of course, these stores also carry many different kinds of candles. Candles are used in rituals for countless different religions. Look for candles that burn for a long time, have a special shape or color, or are small enough to hold in the palm of your hand. You can also find many different interesting candle holders to fit your growing collection, from simple cups to intricate statues with a place to hold the flame.

If the store is large enough, it will likely carry a variety of interesting spell ingredients. Some spells require a certain kind of essential oil or dried herb to get the desired effect. Many of these are quite hard to find, and can only be purchased at one of these locations. The ingredients can often also be brewed into a drink or used as seasoning, if you pick the right ones.

Not everything sold at a pagan store is meant for serious purposes. Look for interesting wall hangings, posters, or calendars. You will also often find fun clothing or costumes - many of them will even be hand made. Nearly every one of these stores sells statues and figurines that have both spiritual and decorative purposes; the beautiful sculptures can be hard to resist.

The important thing to remember is that every Wicca shop is a different place with a different stock. You can never be sure of what you'll find there. Even for non-Wiccans, this can be an exciting prospect. Take the time to browse the shelves and explore the different books. Regardless of what you buy, you'll still have fun.
