I only had a hour in this store before it closed. Not enough time to see everything, yet I had a pleasant time browsing items in this store. The store has a skeleton in a chair greeting you at the entrance and a meerkat as its symbol & mascot. A meerkat is a mongoose from South Africa. The lady at the shop was very kind and gave me a sticker of the shop. I saw on the sticker a meerkat dressed in Victorian clothing. Inside the store is an enchanting tea & coffee bar. After scanning the teas offered in the store to drink today, I wish I had sampled the DRAGON'S HOARD, SMOKY BLACK TEA they had. It has a blend of Black Tea, Lapsang Soushong Tea, Cocoa Nib, Allspice, Cinnamon, Cloves, Carob, Calendula, Cornflower, and Safflower. Lapsang Soushong tea is my favorite tea and has a unique smoky flavor. Very difficult to find and only in specialty high end grocery stores or teahouse places. I purchased two dragon bloodstones for $3 each before the store closed. The store's highlights: A tea & coffee bar with unique tea blends and a sitting area to drink & converse. It was the first time I ever saw and found a bone throwing divination kit for purchase in a store. It had a scan code beside it to learn how to use the bone kit as well. They offered small kits for $9.99 and large kits with an instruction book for $39.99. If you want a ready made divination kit, these are ideal. Most of the items in the store had scan codes to link you with information of the merchandise being sold. The store has an assortment of occult jewelry with Lilith sigils and rare occult symbols. I never see this in a metaphysical store. The bookshelves area has a LBGQT & Sex Magic section. Wild! The sticker with a meerkat - a great idea to give to store patrons and definitely makes the shop visit memorable with this unique memento. Kind & helpful customer service Madame Meerkat's Cabinet of Curiousities is the place to see if you want to have a one of a kind experience in a metaphysical store.

The only place that comes close to Alchemy & Aura is Crystal Connection (no longer exists) and AromaG Botanica in Nashville, Tennessee. Ezra assisted me in finding items I needed and was very patient and thoughtful in answering all my questions despite being very busy assisting others. I loved how they created a sense of arrival in the store with two trees at the entrance area with a crystal chandelier hanging between them, eye catching displays, and a large dining table with chairs. The tarot & oracle deck selection was massive. Some of the decks were not available for sale online. I purchased three large Oracle decks on clearance for $12-$15 each, a dragon incense holder, oudh incense, nag champa cone incense, and got two books from exchange chest there. There were many items I wanted to purchase yet considered buying them later.

It's a true pleasure to purchase items that are handcrafted by the artists who own and run the shop as well as items made by local artisans. The selection of handcrafted jewelry, pottery, stained glass, and woodcraft items is amazing. Everything in this shop is visually appealing, purposeful, and whimsical. Money is well spent here; all items are high quality at fair prices, and the staff are more than happy to answer questions. I haven't had the pleasure of getting a reading, but I have complete faith that the practioners here are highly skilled professionals in their crafts. Another stellar feature of Elemental Grove is events created by the owners that bring together the community it serves. It's truly a magical place.

The store is spacious so make sure to set aside a good amount of time to look at everything. Products range from plants to gemstones, incense, jewelry, products from India, health and beauty products to books on astrology. It would have been cool if they had more books and items about witchcraft/magic and spells, hence its name. The manager said they do plan on getting more of those kind of items as well as others. The staff were welcoming and the owner was knowledgeable about items I had questions on. I ended up purchasing an incense powder, which was promoting love and attraction (not for me, it's a gift) ($6.50, 20 grams) and a vegan eucalyptus shower fizz with a tiger's eye gemstone hidden inside ($9). There were other incense powders that promoted different things, such as clearing negativity, spirituality growth. The incense powder had written instructions on how to use it, where essentially you pinch the powder to form a mound or cone shape and then you light the tip. The manager also had some other tips on how to use the incense powder. Since it was the grand opening day, there was a 10% discount and a cute free pen. They will continue to offer coupons/discounts so make sure to check their website or Facebook. I liked that the items I purchased was packaged in a pretty blue gift bag with purple tissue paper. Some of their items were pricey but many of them would make unique and thoughtful gifts.
