Cute shop right on Coast Hwy.. Wonderful gift items at GREAT prices! I pick up all my candles and incense from here. I had a clearing with Vicki and left feeling 120 % better and free! While I was receiving the clearing Vicki gave me a reading. The things she was receiving was so right on! It helped me through the rough time I was having. She has become one of my main readers I go to and would recommend her to everyone. read more

This review is not so much on the store but instead on the personal reading I had with Deborah or Debbie as she is called. This is what I submitted on their own website.. lets see if they put it up. I will update if I decide to speak with another psychic there at Kindred Journeys and have a more positve experience. Except, I actually had to call in 3 times which I omitted on the testimonial, (once because she wasnt ready yet at my appt time, 2nd time I got her but the phone was about to die on her end and finally the 3rd time is when we started the session. ok, so this is what I submitted. Let me start by saying.. I do hope you post all your testimonials and not just the good ones. I think that is only fair to let everyone decide for themselves if they want a reading from the person/counselor. This was my first time using a psychic from Kindred Journey and unfortunately she did not have any testimonials on your website but I figured I would give her a try anyways. I had a reading with Deborah last night 6/21/12 and I have to say, I was disappointed because I felt like she was so off and just grasping at things that didnt make sense at all. (I have had readings with other very gifted psychics, who just start spitting things out about me or my situation that were spot on) unfortunately this was not the case with Deborah. She was asking me questions instead of just telling me what she was seeing or hearing. It felt like she was fishing for something to talk about. I told her I wanted to start with a general reading and we could go from there. I asked her a couple of questions about certain situations and she couldnt be further off. She kept saying the same things over and being very vague about EVERYTHING. I gave her some information hoping that maybe if I gave her more specific information she might tap into it better and I would get a better experience but no she didn't. I wish I could get my money back as this reading was a waste of time and money. Also, she started my reading a few min late because she was having problems with the phones there and said she would restart my time but instead she tried to end my session early because she said my time was up. Well, I record all my readings and knew that my time was definitely not up because it has a timer and I mentioned it to her. She came back for another couple of minutes and I wasnt going to argue about that since this whole reading was pretty much a waste of time from the start. I just wanted her to know that I was aware that I didnt get my full half hour. She basically talks too much about nothing and generalizes way too much and if you ask her if she can be more specific.. she said she can't see clearly what they are trying to say. So then my question is....what are we paying for?? Sincerely, One Disappointed Customer read more

Got an excellent reading from this place. also lots of beautiful spiritual books and gifts. Staff is excellent and will educated in the spiritual Realm. read more

This place used to be so great, but I was there yesterday and it's REALLY gone downhill. Their book section is now completely gone, and so they have a maximum of 30 books in the store, which are just stacked on a display with a sign asking you to not read them. The atmosphere is completely different -- it used to be very calming, and now they play music from the radio, and the girls at the counter kvetch loudly about their parental issues, so that you can't really concentrate on your shopping We were in the store for about 20-30 minutes, during which time not one of the three women even acknowledged our presence, forget about greeting us or making us feel welcome. One of them even came over to the same display I was looking at and called across the room to her friend, still not even looking at or interacting with me. I was looking for books on shielding, but they had absolutely nothing on that topic, so I looked at the crystals and accessories. I've been needing a new pouch for my tarot cards, but they didn't have anything near the right size -- in fact, the only pouches I saw were tiny cheapily-made sacks of incredibly shabby material, ostensibly made for keeping stones in, if you don't really care about the quality of something you're going to put your stones in and carry around with you. They had some REALLY ghetto beanbags to display bigger stones on -- I'm talking, made out of shaggy thin material of even lower quality than cheap stuffed animals won at a skeevy carnival. It gave me the creeps just to touch it, and the thought of placing any of my crystals on it simply appalled me. The store seems to be solely comprised of "displays" now. There don't seem to really be any sections of anything. The pictures shown here on this site are not indicative of the current state of the store. As I said, they have barely any books at all; and even the second display pictured is more abundant than anything I saw in person. Their selection of small stones is adequate -- nothing exciting or unusual, and some stones are conspicuously absent -- but I will say that the small stones are only 60 cents each, which is a lower-than-average price. The store isn't very big to start with, so the fact that they no longer really have any departments or a huge selection of anything means that you feel like the entire store is just a waste of space. This is why I find that other recent review where they told the woman "we carry so many I would have to go through by hand one at a time to see" so amusing -- while it's not unusual for smaller stores like this to not have their inventory in a computer, they have virtually NO STOCK, so it really shouldn't take anyone very long to check the shelf. Plus, if you're doing your job right, you have a vague inkling of what kind of things you have, because you straighten and restock on a regular basis. Of course, maybe they don't even do that, because my husband pointed out to me that everything in the store was very dusty, which would explain the stagnant feeling of the space. In a small store like that, it's very easy to keep things clean and the displays well-stocked and sparkling...but I guess the staff is too busy filling the space with emotional baggage energy to actually maintain the store or help its customers. It's sad, because it used to be such a lovely space. Skip it, and drive the fifteen minutes down to Encinitas for Soulscape, a much bigger, nicer, friendlier, and just all-around better store. read more

Some nice stuff. Reasonable prices. Staff and energy of the place is something to be desired. I'll stick with the cbad village mystical dragon. read more

It is very disappointing when you make an appointment ahead of time for one of the readers and the staff who book it mess it up! If you schedule before the day of your reading call to ensure they have the correct date. read more

My go to for any time I need precise reading or energy clearing. Kindred Journeys is always welcoming and knowledgeable whether I'm going in to buy new crystals or taking a class. Deborah is my favorite to receive a reading form but truly everyone has their own unique way to deliver the perfect message. Thank you for all your hard work, Kindred Journeys! read more

Love this place- I'm not sure how legitimate the psychics are from my experience, but they have super cool crystals, stones, books, etc. I love going here and spending money! read more

Loved the environment of this shop, very peaceful. I saw a woman named carlli and her reading was spot on, very knowledgeable in her readings and felt connected right when i got in there. Over all my experience was fantastic! read more

Totally love this place! I felt so comfortable in the store and with every reader. They are all talented and gifted. Tues and thurs, they have awesome discounts on their readings ($15 for 15 mins and a dollar for every min after) look kindred journeys up and pick which person you wanna talk with. You'll be amazed :) read more

I believe we all go on quests or journeys in our lives, soul searching, for answers or guidance to help us along life's path. I recently traveled through Oceanside, Calif. From where I live in the Bay Area. Kindred Journeys is a quaint and spiritual haven that I feel I was destined to find! I felt an immediate acceptance from what I consider my spiritual teachers. I had a soul reading and card reading that helped me find the confidence and self love I was seeking to guide me into the next path of my future. We all travel life's path, together, as one, and i felt this connection at Kindred Journeys. I received very accurate confirmation that gave me the motivation needed to go forward and I plan to stop by to visit anytime I'm in the area. Thank you, Pam. read more

5 Stars for the reading, for the location and for the shop. I arrived Friday to get a reading. Place is easy to find on PCH in a plaza near Oceanside Library and Circle K. I received a reading from a sweet woman Katie. I was very curious of how my reading would turn out. Katie's reading was 100% accurate and I took notes because it is so much in 1 hr that I know I would forget. I would strongly suggest to ask for Katie. I totally suggest/recommend to my friends and family of Katie's excellent reading. I am totally bringing my sister from Los Angeles area. The price was reasonable for a awesome reading. As I finished the reading I literally was so happy that when I got into my car I cried of happiness knowing the good outcome. I am content to know what my instincts were true and Katie confirmed everything I felt. read more

Great vibes, best prices on metaphysical items I've ever found. Nice selection. Great psychic readers. Lots of workshops on a varirty of topics. Nice used book section. read more

A great little shop with some unique gifts / gift ideas with fair prices. Not too over powering with the incense....gives me a headache......I stop by once a year for gifts and books for people who need to 'open' their minds....:) Have not had a tarot reading of any kind, so that you will have to decide,.... Great small business that should be supported! after all who wants target and walmart gifts? read more

Absolutely incredible little New age shop that I found one day in Oceanside (not far from the beach). They have a wide range of items, Buddhist, pagan, Native American items and gifts, crystals, books, media, incense, dream catchers, sage, tarot cards and so much more. I will definitely be returning here again with friends. read more

This is a great little place. Although the selection isn't huge, you somehow seem to find just what you're looking for. And the back section with books has a lot of really great items. The woman who works there was really nice and friendly. And they have a calendar of events, which is pretty great for a military town. Also, the prices are very reasonable. Shoot, I need to go back here more often! read more

The selection is fine and it's nice to have a place so close to downtown but I've always felt unwanted coming into this store. The staff is short with you.. if they answer you at all.. and are rude. This is a place I run in and out because they are not friendly and don't seem to enjoy new faces or questions. The man that was working just now said one word to me "no" besides telling me my total. I am going to be looking for a new place read more

The second I step through the door way of Kindred Journeys, I was instantly calm and very relaxed. The staff was very helpful and full of wonderful knowledge which they kindly share. The counter girl was so helpful with my crystal selections and shared ways to use them. She even gave me a few crystal layouts for me to do on my dog. So cool! I have yet to have a reading just because I am always in a bit of a time crunch, but plan to have one soon. read more

I was really excited to get a reading here but left with a huge disappointment. My reader was named Sharon, she was very sweet and nice but was way off in the reading. nothing she said i was able to relate to. i was really bummed out everything she said seemed pretty much bullcrap ): read more

I called and asked if they carried a particular item and was told " Oh my Gosh, we carry so many i would have to go through by hand one at a time to see" I asked can't you just go on the computer to see if it's in your inventory? and she said "No, i can't do that" gesh, i guess i will just go to a store that is more organized and wants customers. read more

Just got a second reading with Gayla today and have had more from Monique and of course Kaylee since my last comment. While Monique an Kaylee have been such an inspiration in my life and I forever will continue to seek their guidance, Gayla is clearly NOT!!!!!!!!!!! She was negative, critical and less than helpful to put it gently!!!!!\. When I needed clarity on some of her comments she would shoot me down and almost scorn me. She would say " let me say this one more time!" and offer her unsolicited opinion (ego) and not ever answer my question. Another thing she said was "you deserve what you get." That might ring true but in this case it came across as a put down. I come to psychics to get clarity and help from Spirit but she provided none of that which is very sad! Maybe she had a bad day or might be going through the ups and downs of life but when It comes down to it the negative energy and tone she created was more damaging than helpful to the reading and it's not fair!!!!!!! I've known people to ask for refunds and I this horrible reading deserves one but I will settle it this way on Yelp instead. The one positive thing I can say to her credit is that I was pregnant and found out shortly after. read more

Since I take the time to write the good I must continue to be honest and write the not so good. I had a reading with Deborah/Debbie and I didn't make a good connection with her. The reading seemed more like a conversation and not so much of her telling me things. She would ask me questions and just talk about the information I gave her. I didn't leave the reading with any clarity like I usually do with the other readings I have had from other readers at kindred journey. I guess every one can't be good. read more

This store is my spiritual home!All of the readers are absolutely fabulous, intuitive , and warm.You must take the spiritual development classes with Gayla. If you are looking for an all inclusive, past lives ,whats my soul purpose, and who are my guides reading go for Monique. There is NO better astrologer than Kaylee. Looking for an extremely gifted medium try Amy. For a wonderful true empathic energy impression go for Just. I will always love Dewey's Full Moon circles and his wonderful singing.He has the wise Native Indian Shamanic energy and his singing bowl circles are pure healing! I will forever love this store!!!!! read more

Ok, I have never had a palm reading, tarot card reading, crystals, etc.. My interest was mainly curiosity. For whatever reason, Sunday morning palm reading came to mind, completely out of the blue. I pondered. I met my daughter and talked about it over breakfast. We checked Yelp and other sites and decided Kindred Journeys was a good place for us to explore. I checked the website and read about each person at Kindred Journeys. I felt Kate was a good choice due to having several generations of her family participating in Tarot cards, etc. We went in and I was so nervous. Nervous that the cards would be accurate or not ... I went first. Kate was already in the room. She was very nice. I won't go into specifics but to say she was on point with those I was concerned about: my relationship and my children, is an understatement. Cards came up that described each daughter were so spot on I did freak a bit. The cards described each child and their personalities and abilities. The one single thing that really blew my mind was she knew my eldest recently broke up and the cards turned up pegging the ex perfectly. They broke up due to cheating and drugs. She did not know any of that and described him to a tee. She indicated he is not monogamous and that was the reason for the breakup, in addition to substance use. She said my daughter needs to stay away from him, which we all said in the very beginning of their relationship. She discussed my relationship and really tagged my boyfriend. I only paid for 15 minutes and wished I had done an hour. As the session progressed, I really wanted to continue. Afterwards, my daughter went in to discuss her parents and her own relationship. She is pretty level headed and was stunned and amazed when she came out. She described me and my work, that I did not mention during my session and she didn't either. She described her father's personality spot on, believe me! She tagged my daughter's talent and future goals and her current relationship. To say I am still flabbergasted is the truth. I am very honest and did not expect what we experienced. I did not try to read anything into what was told to me and try to make it fit my life. The cards told the truth. Now, we want to go back for an hour, which may not be enough.. ha ha. It is $20/15 minutes. That is a good price compared to the ones we researched, some were over $100. I figured if their talent is true, then price shouldn't matter. We are going back most definitely!! read more

Also desperately hoping to find Kaylee. The first employee I asked was outright rude when I asked about her. When I asked Just a few days later, he was kind about explaining the policy on why they couldn't give out her information, which I appreciated. I will still shop here on occasion, but not as likely to be drawn in without Kaylee there. read more

Love Love Love this store....Great prices, people and product. It's fun just to hang a bit and learn about the products and the services. The staff was helpful, I feel like I got a mini class on herbs today and it was FREE!!!!! I'll be back read more

I had a couple of readings with Amy & Lisa and I would not recommend them. It was not worth the time or money. I asked them both a specific question about a financial situation. Both said they were sure of the outcome they predicted but both were very wrong. I understand the power of positive thinking and intentions but these women were ineffective. I don't believe their mediumship skills are very developed they were both reaching and grabbing for other methods to back up their words. Lisa asked for my birthdate and read from an astrology book, as a professional astrologer I can say what is written in the stars can change through our thoughts and actions. Lisa also went on to explain what I had been thinking of the week previous to my reading with her....inaccurate once again. As a medium I can understand some channeled writings but cards and birthdates and numerology come on now! I have since found a highly skilled medium that has truly developed her gifts, what a huge difference!!! As for the store itself they sell gems, cards, creative gifts and I would shop there in the future. I do hope others find this helpful I felt a responsibility to state the truth and I know there are people who will be interested I should have listened to my gut feelings we all have intuition but I went back to give both of these women the benefit of the doubt. Please don't review this business if you received a freebie for writing this review, or if you're connected in any way to the owner or employees. read more

I stopped by this place for the first time last week. Overall, I was not impressed. The vibe and energy is definitely off. I walked in and it was dead quiet, no music, no one talking, nothing. One of the girls greeted me, but that was it for conversation. Ultimately, I just felt uncomfortable shopping there. I think they really need to just change the vibe of the store. read more

very cool shop! like other reviews said, very reasonable prices. unique and quality items, had a good time browsing and found something special. will be back :) read more

It's a cute little shop with a little of everything you might need. It's a good place to go for a quick I need this and know they will have it kinda thing. The prices are really good. They are nice without being pushy and on top of you. It's a very mellow feeling place with layer back workers. Witch is really great and totally refreshing. It's nice to walk into a place and know you will not be hounded for any reason. read more

Haven't experienced any readings but I stopped by to pick up some crystals and for the most part they are pretty reasonably priced!

Kindred Journeys is not only a metaphysical bookstore, that carries various books and trinkets dealing with parapsychology, but also offers psychic services. They are two women usually one site, each with a different specialty. The one I made my appointment with was a medium, or an individual who has the ability to speak to the spirits, dead, or an angel. With respect to accuracy, she was fairly accurate about most of the things that she said about me, with some few misses and some vagueness/ambiguity in her responses. The experience overall was pleasant and warming. She genuinely seemed interested in giving me advice and talking to me and was very kind throughout the whole experience. Unlike other stories that I've heard with psychic encounters, there was not attempt to con me or scam me for more money either. read more
