The cat is awesome and the owner or who I think is the owner in the back always seems nice. The…read moregirl at front I thought was just miserable. She usually ignores me, doesn't offer to help, and seems genuinely miserable to be there. If you try to be friendly and nice while checking out.. she offers no warmth. But I actually had some questions and she was visibly annoyed. She was incredibly dismissive and straight up rude. I honestly was shocked bc I have been in there multiple times and spent a nice chunk of money and I was spending a nice chunk that day. I want to clarify I am overly nice and even while she was being rude I kept trying to win her over with kindness. She was arrogant, snotty, rude. and just overall very very bad vibes. I don't even want to light my dressed candle I got bc I feel like nothing about her is positive. There really aren't a lot of spots to find things around here like this but I am definitely not going back. It's unfortunate because I was genuinely ready to commit to some pretty big purchases in the future but the girl at the front counter is genuinely so rude I cannot fathom buying anything spiritual from a place with such a negative energy sitting in it. Just incredibly weird this is who they have front facing to their customers. You can look at every review I have ever done. They are all five stars. This is the only negative review I have ever written

This store only sells jewelry. The spiritual aspect has been gone for years. They have a few little…read more"new age" gift items & are lovely people but they seem to concentrate on making some kind of individualized jewelry. 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.

We liked stopping by this bookstore. Wooden Shoe Books had an array of books on race, social…read morejustice, and so much more. Their prices are a bit higher than you'd expect online or at a chain bookstore, but I find that very justifiable as all of their profits go towards running the shop and other social justice missions. The volunteers at the store were great as well and were happy to answer questions or direct us to where certain books were.

First, to address the person claiming "they are all racist here"…read more This is an ANARCHIST BOOK STORE. They have books on critical race theory, yes. They also have books on queer studies, feminist literature, Muslim education... the list goes on and on. Do you understand what anarchy is? At any rate I seriously doubt the black and brown employees who have or do currently work or volunteer at Wooden Shoe would appreciate being called racist, so why don't you, you know, fuck off and shop somewhere else? That being said. Wooden Shoe is an exceptional resource for books on any number of topics. They tend to skew toward literature on social justice issues that run the gamut, so you're not going to find the latest pop culture biography or new fiction. Books are full price, so expect to pay $35 for a new hardcover, but they also have a ton of $1-5 second hand books, plus a really cool section of free and cheap zines and small print publications. I've been shopping here for it seems like a decade, and as a queer, gender non-conforming biracial person, the idea that they are racist is comical bordering on fully ignorant.

After my lunch i went ahead and tried her out - there was a 15 minute wait as there were a few girls before me. I worked with Julie and i decided to go with a Tarot Card reading. She picked up on a few things without being prompted which was very interesting and told me alot about myself of which i can work on, balancing my shakras. She also said she was a medium as well which I am always interested in connecting with good ones. The only thing i didnt like was that she offered another service after my reading for my healing that was $200 and i had a friend waiting outside but i felt like she was a bit much with that approach. I am debating on seeing her again but she definitely gave some good and interesting insights that were true.
