All things New Age — tarot cards, oracle decks, crystals, smudge sticks, birth-charts, witchcraft tools, and the like — are becoming more and more popular, especially in and around Philadelphia. (I mean, c’mon with this Philly-inspired tarot deck made by local illustrator James Boyle, with an accompanying guidebook written by former Be Well editor Gina Tomaine, to boot!)
While these practices have been around for centuries (so, pursue respectfully and ethically — cultural appropriation is a bad look), recent resurgence has been attributed to people wanting some semblance of control during turbulent times, manifesting positive energy, or looking to do some self-discovery.
Whether you’re just getting started with a ritual practice or are already well-versed in the metaphysical world, here’s where to shop locally.
The 8th House
Online
