The amount of events they offer is very impressive and offers a solid calendar for locals. Prices are incredibly fair as well. I highly recommend the midday meditation on Sundays! I also had the aura photography done and loved that entire experience as well. The wonderful kind lady who read for me gave me legitimate full body chills. Prices, in my honest opinion, are marked up more than other stores. But I would argue that's to recoup costs of moving, etc. Regardless, this store and the people running it are at the heart of a vibrant community in the south. This location offers a safe haven, and great one-stop-shop for nearly any need/want. And they're good at ordering at your request. Definitely worth your time.

I had been wanting to stop here for a long time and I am glad that I finally did. The staff were…read moreso welcoming and knowledgeable. I felt love as soon as I walked in.

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.

They sell and make Snowshoe share teas which are fabulous. I had a summer solstice iced tea made fresh and it was absolutely delicious and so refreshing. I love being able to pick up a high quality tea like this at a local place. Their soaps are great and I enjoyed meeting Juniper who was working there. They have tons of incense, crystals, candles and so many "curiosities" that no one else in town has.

I was then pressured to pay $200 for a "curse removal." As a single mom barely making it, this felt insensitive and exploitative. Instead of feeling supported or spiritually guided, I felt targeted and pressured to spend money out of fear. I believe spiritual services should empower people, not scare them into paying for expensive add-ons. This experience did not feel ethical or supportive, and I would not recommend to anyone. On a side note I had to go else where to be cleansed because ever since I was in contact with her my life has been in shambles.

They have the shop set up in sections, candles, oils, incense, crystals, Tarot cards, children's section. It's clean organized and shoppable. They have readers on a daily basis.

It resonated with me and he has a unique and honest way of delivering such messages. The ladies at the front are friendly, knowledgeable, and respectful. We shopped for two hours and left with beautiful finds. My daughter bought a beautiful aqua phase ring. Thank you ladies and Ricardo for such a wonderful experience. We will be back again.

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.
