This family-owned store opened in 1978 and has changed locations, but has always been on W. Saratoga Street, within walking distance of downtown and the Inner Harbor. Open every day except for Sunday, they're more in-depth, old-school than the typical New Age shop. The store is brightly lit and neatly organized, so you can easily find what you're looking for – though the staff is happy to help if you can't. The smaller oils are stocked behind the counter, for instance . . . making labels a little hard to read. No problem! They have a written list. They offer spiritual advice for a fee. You may either visit them in person at the store, drop them a letter via the e-mail, or simply give them a telephone call. They have supplies like candles, books and oils for Voo Doo, Wiccan, Judaism, Buddhist, Christian, Santeria, and countless other religious cultures.
