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.
Beyond incense, there are those innumerable products one won't ever find in any other type of store but one dedicated to magic. First there are the tarot decks, laid out on display to advertise the beautiful artistry of their illustrations. Like the incense, the beautiful designs are meant to be effective, in this case by calling out to anyone looking for a personal connection to a particular deck. Often the bookshelves will be somewhat spare but excellent, full of books meant to be informative in the most directly practical way.
Products will range from crystal balls to athames. The store ought to have a range of Goddess or God statues, which like the incense may have been worked on by someone who has worked with that deity over a long time. Given the clientele, there might be potions and powders, each one perhaps labeled according to its particular purpose.
Often these modest shops are the real cultural and social hub available for people with a taste for the esoteric, and they are happy to spend their money there despite the somewhat steeper price tag. There is no denying it that these days online shopping is most economical option even with the shipping fees. There might always be that occasion when some item just has to be bought online.
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.
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.
