I had a reading with Magda at Holy Rose and left feeling extremely uncomfortable. The session…read morequickly turned negative, and I was told I had a curse that needed to be removed. 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.

At first I found the staff to be a little distant and unresponsive but that eventually changed and I felt them to be more helpful. I overheard them telling another customer that they can do energy readings which seems like it would be a cool and insightful experience. Overall, the store had tons of items and was well stocked and laid out. If not for my initial interaction with the staff, or lackthereof they'd probably receive a higher rating.

While I've never been to the store physically, I recently placed an online order after finding it…read morevia Yelp. I wanted/needed some sage sticks and a bowl in which to have them burned. I found everything easily on their website and at really reasonable prices. I placed the order and it arrived sooner than I expected. It was wrapped securely in an appropriate sized box. Not only did it come with burning instructions but also a small handwritten line with well-wishes. I love great customer service so that line put a smile on my face. I'll one day venture to the store which is the only thing preventing a 5 star review. Until then...

Whether you just like dead bugs and pretty rocks or you are metaphysical, from fossils and geodes to pendulums, palo santo and smudging spray, there is something for you. It's never the same shop twice and whether your budget is $5 or $500, you'll find our own treasure. The shops open Saturdays and Sundays throughout the year except when the State Fair takes over the Education Building. I have been going to Vintagearth for about 3 years and Pete treats everyone like family and the vibe is genuine and fun. Whether you're clueless or well-learned, you'll still fit in and be welcomed! Highly recommend a visit!

A gem in the city of Durham.

This is such a beautiful shop! I instantly felt more relaxed walking in. The shopkeeper was…read moreincredibly gracious and must've thanked us for coming in at least 3x. We ended up purchasing a few small crystals and some bead strands. I found the prices to be very reasonable! The selection is astounding! If you're a crystal person, you'll absolutely love looking at all the beautiful options here. She also has a huge selection of crystal beads (actually crystals, not like Swarovski crystals, though she might have some of those in the bead room). She teaches classes, too, but it's a bit too far for me to drive. Would love to take them! We'll absolutely be back! Random observation: There are a bunch of 1 star reviews for this shop, all for the same reason of the store hours differing from the website. All of the reviews are from Yelpers with only one review, which I find highly suspicious. Pay them no mind, this is a wonderful crystal and bead shop that you shouldn't pass up!

The two instructors were so kind and patient with us, and showed us with a practice piece how to get the hang of metal stamping. We then could pick out a bigger piece to be our "real" piece, and we were allowed to take our time and make our ornaments with various fonts and symbols. They have a ton of options in terms of different metal pieces we can make as well as an almost endless supply of stamping characters, and it's so fun to be able to make something like this for loved ones! They're perfectly imperfect. Value wise, the class is incredibly affordable and I'm sure I'll be back in the future to make more pieces. The store itself is really cute and has a lot of fun trinkets!
