Having lived in NYC & Northern CA - it is quite unusual to be in a city that has only Garland of Letters as an inspirational store. Philadelphia has the nicest people in the world but are clueless with regard to Buddhism, Hinduism, Sufism, Sikhism etc. Lacks intellectual, interfaith stimulus! Even Santa Fe, NM has more diversity.

Also, this lovely boutique is woman-owned and I love their branding. First, the decor is everything and I wanted everything! I went in a few mins before they closed on a beautiful Sunday evening. The young lady that worked there was very attentive and answered all my crazy questions. I met the owner (I did not know it was her at the time; so down-to-earth and sweet). My experience here was really nice. Ritual Shoppe has mystical items, apothecary (also pink LOL), beautiful fine jewelry, etc. I am definitely looking forward to visiting again and spending more time looking at more of what the shop offers.

I cannot wait to visit again!

a small witchy shop. I like to get crystals here. Originally I came here a last year, twice, and…read morethey had a great selection of incense, jewelry, lots and lots of products. I came back now and they've minimized their inventory a lot. the incense single sticks now there was only a few options, most were sweet or fruit scents, I actually didn't get any and that's what I had originally come back for. I remember when I was here last year the place was packed with things that I paid attention as I walked not to knock anything, and now there's so much walking room - I miss the abundance of inventory. I did get some crystals, they have them displayed on a spinning shelf which I don't know is very efficient for the customer to view the descriptions and compare, I had to keep spinning back and forth. there is a cute room in the back with tarot cards and witch books, and local art. it is hard to tell if they're open but you just have to give the door a significant push when turning the knob. the phone number does not work.

The doors were opened and there were balloons and decor and music playing if I recall correctly and there were people gathered inside and flowing onto the outside. I was first greeted by the owner's mother and then by other guests attending the opening day festivities that evening. It was such a nice surprise. I received a whole run down of how the shop worked and was able to make a candle for myself from scratch. It was so delightful to get to meet new and interesting people. I did not know anyone there and Beth the owner, along with her friends and family made me feel so welcomed. What I love most is the premise of the business. Each candle has an affirmation on it . I think I have tried all of them except for "Daring" and gifted one to my parents. The idea is that scent is linked to emotion and memory and that you connect positive experiences and affirmations via the scent to elicit this happy hormone response within your body. I recall her telling me that her sister was the one who was able to speak to the science of it and she (Beth) was the brains behind it in terms of creating scents and the affirmations. I have to say that those candles really helped me immensely, especially during a time that I needed encouragement and motivation the most. I started out using them in Philadelphia and then ordered from the store to have them shipped to me when I lived in Virginia. I would light the candle and then meditate on the affirmation that was printed on the label. It doesn't go without saying that the candles themselves smell absolutely amazing. They aren't like generic or overly nauseating by any means. All of the scents are natural and not overpowering or overwhelming. Some are a bit stronger than others. My particular favorite is "Radiant" because it has notes of grapefruit and peppercorn. It has the revitalizing scent to it whereas my other favorite is "Connected". That one has this softness to it that reminds me of a subtle musk with a powdery touch. I also like that there are custom made matches you can order as well. I felt lucky that they were included with my order complimentary on that grand opening day. It has been maybe about a year or so since ai first ventured into that store and I have been hooked on those candles ever since. So much so that I feel reluctant getting other kinds. I used to be a devout Sand & Fog fan, Bath and Body Works Candle Sale fan, and Voluspa fan, but now I prefer State of Being candles more than those. You can just tell they are high quality candles and I am a fan. They are a bit costly, but you get what you pay for so they are a good value I think. The scents last for a long time. Some scents are more powerful than others, but I prefer the fragrance to be somewhere in the middle, enough to make me notice is there, but no so strong that it is overpowering. You can tell that they are made with love and that is what I appreciate the most. The good vibes and energy that go into them when they are made. I like to think that when I light them up, that good vibes and energy are radiating out from them:) And it acts like energetic medicine ^_^ So, I will continue to buy from them as long as I can afford them lol but highly recommend! They also apparently do workshops and other fun events now as well. I am subscribed to their newsletter so I get to hear all about what I am missing out on lol but if you are ever in Philly and in the area, I encourage you to stop by if you are into fragrances at all, into spiritual/metaphysical stuff like me, and wish to be in good company. Beth and her family will make sure to treat you with the same respect, care, and attention that she puts into her candles:) Unfortunately, I did not take any photos while I was there in the store, but hopefully my review can give you a good idea of what to expect. Update: 8/15/24-My candle (their newest one) got delivered today and it smells amazing as always. I have it lit and placed next to my vision board that I made at a workshop that I did a few months back..felt like it would be the proper place for it, but finally was able to snap a pic and add to my review:) Will continue to buy more in the future as I am a loyal fan/customer as these candles have helped evoke much positivity in my life

However, this shop owner is really knowledgeable and helpful. They have a great selection and everything is fairly priced. I got a beautiful set of hematite runes for $20. I also picked up my first piece of Moldavite, it's definitely a legitimate piece. So many people are selling imitation pieces that it's scary to throw down money for something that might be fake. This is legit. And while Moldavite will never be cheap, his prices were fair. I'll definitely be visiting him for more needs as they come along.

Considering the size of the store, they have an interesting, eclectic and rather large inventory. They stock a terrific selection of seasonal gifts and decor, Yankee Candles as well as quite an assortment of Irish gifts and collectibles. Many times, if you don't see it, they can order it. Everytime I visit, I always manage to find something new and unique. While their prices are not cheap, they are hardly exorbitant and there is something for nearly every price range.
