They will not open the doors for you to "LOOK" into the "Looking Glass" store. I tried to look on the website. Which wasn't working for my phone. The people saw us outside; a fed Ex delivery came and they opened the door without any acknowledgment of us being there. The lady didn't even glance our way or even tried to ask us if she could be of any help. I'm sorry they apparently have had bad experiences of being ripped off. However my husband & I were ready to spend $$$, we were dressed nicely.. guess they didn't approve of us. I did try the website more than a few times.. it didn't work on my Apple phone. Their loss. So sad... to me I felt they send negative feelings by not allowing people into their store. Blessings to them read more

Beware!! Bad energy. Dont buy crystals here, this energy is dark. The owner will lock you in the store and make you buy something or leave. Dont believe me? Read his website. They don't allow browsing or touching any crystals. I prefer to shop at other friendly local gem shops, never again here! Beware! read more

They always have exactly what I need! I've been driving up for 6 years! Great owners! Always friendly and helpful.

I enjoy my time in this store immensely. The couple that run this store are real salt of the earth people! I always feel welcomed and find what I need when I visit this space! read more

I know the owners are good people, and the way they run their business (which they are fully entitled to do) is fair. I think there's a misunderstanding some people have, and it accounts for the negative reviews. When you ring the doorbell, and are asked at the door what you're there to shop for, you're not promising to purchase something, or to know *specifically* what you want to buy. For example, you may want to peruse their selection of tarot decks, but you don't need to cite which particular deck by name before you can take a look at what they have in stock. Are you looking for crystals? Candles? Rings? Incense? It's not that tricky. If you don't understand why they do business this way, just ask. They've always been friendly and loving people who charge fair prices and deserve to be respected as equals. It's as simple as that. read more

I've been a customer at this store for years since moving to Saint Petersburg and it's where I got all of my things to practice my craft. After the experience I had today, I will not be back. My husband is in town and we were both looking at different things to purchase. The store owner (male, I'm presuming) yelled at me to get out until I was near tears because I was not "shopping fast enough." Safe to say I do not recommend this location to anyone. Very negative vibes. Was a loyal customer but will not be back read more

I drove 45 mins to visit this location. Rang the bell to enter. Was offered a basket by a man, which I declined (as I always do for new places) and asked repeatedly what I was looking for. I was definitely there to shop but was overwhelmed as there was a lot to see. We were immediately ushered out the door as we couldn't browse for items. I was looking at the incense when told to leave. It messed up my energy for the rest of the day. It definitely feels like a front for something. There were other people "browsing" and not making eye contact. Energy was terrible. Never going back!! read more

How awful and extremely disappointing it was for us to show up and see the purchasing customers only sign. You have to go in and know what you are buying now without the the ability to browse and their website is not showing their inventory??? We drove across the bay to come here and thought it was a nice place, guess we were wrong. I've been there before and it was restrictive about phone usage in store but this is not even worth it. I brought my fiance and a friend over here to experience it.. Do better! read more

zero stars. I walked in and they immediately told me I can't browse... I said I wanted to buy something and they still said I had to know what I wanted to be in the store , or else I had to leave. Here's my idea: They are selling drugs here and the spiritual store is a front. The reason I think this is because the door was covered with brown paper so you couldn't see in the store from the outside. They said I had to know what I wanted to be in the store or else I had to leave. They have a no picture policy inside. They are super rude and hostile. NO REAL SPIRITUAL PERSON WOULD EMIT THIS ENERGY. NO REAL SPIRITUAL PERSON WOULD STILL BE WEARING A MASK IN A STORE THAT NOBODY IS IN. NO REAL SPIRITUAL PERSON WOULD TELL ME IM RIDICULOUS AND YELL AT ME WHEN I WANT TO BUY SOMETJING FROM THEIR STORE. Don't go here. After I left this store I felt very off and my energy felt thrown off. Someone do me a favor and walk in that store and tell them you're looking for drugs.... Let's test my theory. Report back. LOL. read more

The Looking Glass - Supernatural Readings Near Me - St. Petersburg, Florida

I recently brought my 13 year old daughter up here to shop, as she has become interested in the different crystals and such that most metaphysical stores carry. We made a day trip up to St. Pete from Bradenton. After shopping around town and arriving at The Looking Glass, the gentleman behind the counter asked if we needed help or if we were "looking for anything particular?". I said thank you and "no, we were just browsing through the store". I thought he was joking when he informed us that "browsing season is in September". However he looked at me and told me he was serious and "you need to leave, you can't just come in and look around" that "it wasn't fair to the next guy who wants to shop as well." I told him we had only been to this store once before and we weren't sure what they had so we were not sure if we would purchase anything. We did make several purchases from every shop we visited before and after our stop here. He insisted we leave his store if we weren't going to buy anything, and that "looking around wasn't allowed." I'm not sure how they plan to keep business like this. Running potential customers off is definitely not the best route, I'm sure. I would not recommend spending your money here. There are far better stores with I'm sure better options, although we weren't allowed to browse, and much better customer service. He also scared my daughter as she has never been treated like that or asked to leave a store. Again, take your business elsewhere. read more

I love this place!!!..everyone is friendly.never had any problems. I ask permission to take pictures like description of the crystal. (They said yes)..The workers and my gf and I were talking, we laugh. is like we all treat each other like family. Can't wait to go back again and again..everyone their will treat you how you want to be treated.I also like the COVID policy.if cold stay longer I would. They have amazing items I can't stop putting stuff on the basket. read more

I used to love this place. They do have a beautiful selection of items and crystals. However, they do also sell some fakes. I have purchased a few bracelets that turned out to be fake crystals, as well as 'citrine' a few years back that was fake as well. Be careful when shopping for your crystals. read more

If I could choose zero stars or negative stars that would be more fitting, especially after the negative energy coming from this place. And a metaphysical store no less! We took our daughter who wanted to see their amethyst rings. As soon as she expressed she wasn't finding one she liked he said he would show us the door and escorted us out. "This store is not for browsing" he said. Lol Happy not to give this guy any business. So rude and unfriendly. Not the kind of person you would expect in a store like this. There are plenty of better stores with a positive vibe out there. This one is nothing special and not worth putting a damper on an otherwise beautiful day! read more

You have to be reasonable, call ahead of time & speak to the right person. They are serious about their business. Some people may say they are rude or unwelcoming but I sincerely felt at home. I came all the way from Miami & I would do it again in a heart beat. Very reasonable prices, hidden deals all around, you just definitely need to know what you're coming in for. Sarah was amazing & so helpful. Definitely coming back tomorrow before my road trip back home. read more

Extremely rude!!! Terrible service!!!! I was in this store with my family and the gentleman behind the counter asked if we needed a basket for purchase. We kindly said that we were just looking around at the moment and if we need it we would acquire one. The he said rudely " well you can't just look around if you're not going to buy anything. We are doing renovations" after that we turned around and left the store. Went to another where they were more friendly and spent quite a bit at the second location. Sorry not sorry they lost out on some really good business read more

Yall must of had bad energy...They are so awesome n informative...I love you guys Keesha Wooten read more

Incredibly rude and wouldn't let me in the shop bc they're "only open to those who want to buy"; he basically shut the door on me. How do I buy something if I can't enter the store? I've NEVER experienced anything like it. I have plenty of money to buy whatever, but I'm not allowed inside? It's beyond mind blowing and super sketchy. read more

Jenna Rose is amazing! The establishment was beautiful and informative So grateful I stopped by here!

Great variety and they are very nice and knowledgeable about what they sell. Some can get a bit pricey but they have a very large selection.

If you want the most authentic stone you don't find in any other store, go here!!! Truly amazing finds. The knowledge of the owner goes above and beyond what you ever wanted to know about ALL the different spiritual meanings of the stones-AND MORE! Seriously, a fantastic find! Enjoy~ read more

Very Disrespectful Staff! I was not aware that there was no photography in this store and when I attempted to snap a picture to ask my gf if she wanted something, some guy that works here ran up to me got in my face screaming and DEMANDED to see my social media and photo album to delete the picture. He threatened to call the cops and get me a FELONY. For a photo that I DID NOT even take lol. I have never seen anything like this in my life... I would AVOID this shop at all costs. Terrible customer service. read more

This shop, located along St. Pete's cultural and artistic Central Avenue three blocks west of Haslam's Bookstore, is a rather small but very well supplied place to find scented candles, incense, semiprecious stones, books on natural medicine, aromatic oils and soaps as well as many spiritual Native American items. I found the people there to be very congenial and more than willing to special order items not in stock. Their prices are very reasonable. My friend bought 30 sticks of various incense (no scent being of a cheap composition) at $6 for 10. Everything in the store is clean (including the shelves and floor) and well kept. I felt like I was right at home. The owners are very knowledgeable about the products they sell. read more

I have been looking for a good new age metaphysical store to replace mine back home since moving here 4 years ago. I happened to be in the area so I stopped in at the looking glass. Located on central across from dog bar is a tiny shop with mostly crystals and incense with a few trinkets thrown in. I was immediately greeted with a wonderful smile and energy. All of the people working the store were extremely nice and helpful. The prices were reasonable and in line with what I'm used to. I think it's a great place if you are looking for crystals but they don't seem to carry much else. The zen spiritual vibe was also missing for me but that's just an observation. Unfortunately I am still on the hunt to replace my old shop the Dancing Crane in Salt Lake City. However, any time I am in need of crystals I will be returning to the Looking Glass. Sorry yelpers, no photos to attach as there is a no cell phones allowed sign on the front door read more

Superrrr bad energy in here. I walked in and the women immediately approached me asked what I was there for. When I said that I was just looking around she told me I had to leave because they are only open for people who know exactly what they want. Then the man chimed "yeah and it works out because we don't do photos in here either". I said "what photos?" Apparently it's because I sent a text in the store (didn't even take a picture???) this place has no hospitality and it appears they don't want any business. Super disappointed as I've been here before and had positive experiences but will never return. read more

Normally I don't write reviews but I called to request information about the store and was met with the most rude welcome the man on the phone hung up on me several times after me just stating my name I recommend not coming here read more

I normally don't go out of my way to write reviews. Today, me and my husband decided to check them out. I found what I was looking for or maybe it found me? Either way, I really appreciate all the help. This husband and wife are some of the most amazing people. They have helped me find what I was looking for and what I needed. The aura the surrounds this place is something I haven't felt before. I can't wait for my new spiritual healing journey. read more

This place is AMAZING!! I soon as I walked in - the energy, the people there. They have everything and anything you need or could want. The owners are super nice and felt so at home. I'm from Miami and I felt so at home and so at peace. Thank you both. read more

They've got a great selection with tons of things I haven't found elsewhere; a beautiful supply. They're a bit pricier than the shops in the area, too. I wouldn't say I was met with bad vibes but I didn't feel the comfortable, easy flowing and warm interactions I expect from the company within a metaphysical shop. Overall, products are great, energy not so much. read more

Came here after trying a couple different crystal stores. They have quite the selection of crystals, jewelry and art. Such a sweet and chill vibe. Happy I was able to check them out. Have an idea of what your looking for when going and be respectful. Staff was very friendly they will be happy to help you. read more

My adventure into The Looking Glass was not planned but my next visit most certainly will be. The gemstone and crystal selection far out did anything I'd seen in a single retail location before. Their selection of essential oils was extensive and included many unique blends. I was overly impressed with the array of merchandise and the knowledge of the staff. I must also add that the genuineness and kindness of the owner and his wife touched my soul. I cannot wait to visit again soon. read more

Not sure what the bad reviews are about, it's *good* vibes in here. Every time I come in they are SO NICE & helpful! Love this place! Will shop here for all my crystal needs. read more

I think this shop has wonderful potential... but it's way to covid crazy. I understand the need for mask. but I should not feel like I am being watched as I am shopping or unease with how strict the "covid rules" were. I totally abide by the rules until I'm being micromanaged. I get we all wanna be protected be we also want to shop in peace as well, I did not get this from the looking glass. Unfortunately it has lost my business before I could even start purchasing. read more

Great product but like previous reviews. WAY too covid crazy. I've spent thousands here and I come in to spend more and I'm not allowed in without a mask, sanitizing my hands and can't touch anything. It's fine if that's how they want to do it, I'll just spend my money at another crystal shop. In addition to the micromanaging of their customers. read more

Very rude service from the man. Was kicked out for looking around. I feel it was racially motivated

These people are seriously the best!! So knowledgeable and friendly. The most welcoming place I have been in Florida. They have the best conversations and are so genuinely down to earth. Also prices are extremely fair and they usually have deals. They used to require a mask due to family members being at-risk, but don't anymore. The no phones rule is to keep people authentically living in the moment - keeping true to their practice extremely respectable people that actively practice what they preach - love! read more

Chris and his wife are the best . I did the 45 minute reading and he went over but did not charge me . It was pretty accurate and descriptive some I'm usually skeptical . He mostly does tarot cards but was a good guidance to future decisions . read more

Is this a tea shop nowlol? I pulled up and got confused. I tried to call but didnt get ahold of anyone.

I love shops like this one. You can really tell the owner is a good person and is very friendly. They have a lot of wonderful metaphysical items such as books, crystals, singing bowls, jewelry, candles, many items to assist in your spiritual practice. I also got an Akashic reading from a particularly gifted reader that really knew what she was talking about for both me and my husband. There was no cold reading, or fluff involved here in any way. Her name is Christine Vancoughnett. Easily my favorite metaphysical shop in the Tampa Bay area! read more

My experience here was mystically magical and totally transformative. It was one of the most healing and life-changing experiences of my life. Since my last session there, I've experienced a profound shift within my being. The world looks brighter and clearer, and mental, emotional and physical ailments that have plagued me for years have disappeared. It has been more than three weeks since my last session (a reiki healing followed by an intuitive reading), and I feel forever changed. Thank you ~ dearest Chris, sweet Sarah, and the two exquisite practitioners who also shared their love during my reiki session ~ I'm eternally grateful. Every day since our session, I've summoned a blessing for you! ~ Thank you, thank you, thank you!!! *Whoever you are, reading this, if you feel called, book a session!!!* Seeking healing? A shift in perspective? Want to feel unconditional love? Need clarity? My sessions here have provided all of these things. I live in Los Angeles - a hub for all things 'healing' and 'spiritual' - have been to countless practitioners (acupuncture, chiropractors, jin shin jyutsu, reiki, massage therapists, naturopaths, hypnotherapists, psychics, all sorts of energy healers) - and never have I had an experience as powerful as the experiences I've had here. A thought that I had upon leaving was "wow. These guys are THE REAL DEAL." ! AND - a crystal that this shop sells for $8 (moonstone) I recently saw for $33 at another crystal store (same size crystal, maybe even a bit smaller). GREAT prices. read more

I visited this store for the first time today--WOW!! They have a great selection of crystals, art, incense, tarot & Oracle, and I have never seen more beautiful dream catchers. Their prices are crazy reasonable but the best part--it just has a great vibe. As if this wasn't enough, the staff made all of the above even better. Knowledgeable and there when you need them but not hovering. If you were not feeling peace and gratitude when you walked in, you will feel it when you walk out. LOVE this place!!! read more
