When I walked in, every one of the staff members said hi. A very nice woman by the name of Regina came out from behind the counter to greet me. I'm just at the beginning of learning anything about Wicca, and she made me feel very comfortable about not really knowing much. An item I purchased was left behind, and she found my number through their rewards program, and texted me to let me know. What other business would actually do that nowadays? Regina...thank you for being such a welcoming soul! I will definitely be back, and bringing friends as well!

I stopped by during a trip to Washington and I LOVED this store! I have been to the metaphysical…read moreshop up in Port Townsend, but I actually liked Avebury Mystikals more because it is specialized. This is a great shop for practitioners of magic, whether you are Wiccan, Christian, a green witch, folk witch, or a root worker/conjurer. They sell tarot cards, incense, herbs, crystals, a variety of statues (I was pleasantly surprised to see not only the usual pagan and Christian statues, but also statues for Vodou/Santeria, Norse deities and Greek deities). The shop felt very inclusive of all different magical traditions. They offer a lot of beginner books, green witchcraft books, and titles on deity and ancestor veneration as well as folk magic. While they have a few popular tarot decks, they carried more unique tarot/oracle decks than I've seen at most metaphysical shops. So you might find something here that you won't see at other shops. They also carry runes, magic oils, different types of magic candles, as well as magic powders and rice specifically for rootwork and conjure. I was actually very impressed that they offered rootwork items as that is something I rarely see outside of a botanica or specialty shop and I did not expect to see anything like that outside of Seattle since I've heard Washington is a bit more conservative than California. Avebury Myatikals is a small store, but they have a lot of items for such a little shop. The owner and staff were super welcoming and inclusive. One of the employees also has a beautiful gray cat that hangs out at the shop! Since this store is very Craft-focused, you're not going to find general spirituality books here. It is heavily-oriented toward witches, root workers, tarot/rune readers, and those who love crystals. It's not one of those one-size-fits-all metaphysical shops that will cater to yoga, holistic medicine, energy healing, angels as well as magic items. In my mind, this is more of a plus than a minus because sometimes I just want magic and divination tools, not general spirituality books. Avebury is hoping to eventually set up an online store. I really hope they do as it would be nice to have another small business to patronize. The next time I visit Washington, I'll be sure to stop by again. I loved the vibe of this store.

Hidden Gem is a cute little shop on Winslow Way selling gems, crystals, jewelry, and other related…read moremerchandise. My five-year-old Leo B. loves a good gem, and has already asked us to buy him a ruby multiple times (we've consistently, emphatically declined, but I hope he doesn't think he'll be getting one for Christmas). We both enjoyed browsing this store. There were a lot of loose stones and crystals throughout the shop, and these were fun to look at, especially with a child who was fully agog that a gem could be shaped like a heart or a star. I remember being fascinated by colorful stones at his age, and watching him in Hidden Gem took me back to that feeling of innocent wonder. Still, I have no problem saying no to my son, and rejected his requests for a $32 paperweight and other various items too expensive for a five-year-old. Lucky for him, we weren't alone in the store. My mother was there with us, and when Leo requested a $4 green goldstone, I said only a sucker would buy a $4 gem for a small child, then let Halmoni take over. She declared herself a willing sucker and bought him the sparkly green stone, which a kindly sales clerk wrapped for him in paper. I told Leo he was in charge of keeping track of his new gem, and two weeks later, I'm not totally confident he knows where it is. He does love it, though, and I admit it is more attractive than the rocks he just made us bring home from the beach. All in all, I'm glad he got this little gift from Hidden Gem. $4 of Halmoni's money bought him a good deal of happiness.
