A+ | 10/10 | ABSOLUTELY MAGICAL! If you plan on going here, go with an open mind and heart and…read more good intentions, because I want this store to stay around for a long long time.
I'm almost afraid to write this review because I've discovered special that I selfishly want to keep it all to myself! But here goes...
PARLOR 13 is MAGNIFICENT. A truly extraordinary new addition on the best corner of Sherman Oaks, and unlike anything else in Los Angeles.
The wonderful Mystic Dylan Bauer has created an enchanting little world filled with treasures, curiosities, crystals, tarot decks, candles, magical artifacts, and all sorts of deliciously witchy-witchy things! Many of these extraordinary pieces are personally sourced from places like Egypt, New Orleans, and other fascinating corners of the world. Nothing feels ordinary or mass-produced. Everything seems to have a story, a history, and a little magic attached to it. And the most fabulous things in the store are things that you will want to buy, but are not for sale. They live there. And their energy is incredible. Trust me, I have wanted to buy most of them. It's impossible to leave the store without buying something. There is something for everyone and every budget.
And then there are the PEOPLE! I've had the pleasure of meeting Dylan, Char, Manny, and Annie so far, and each brings something uniquely special to the experience. The shop offers everything from tarot and psychic readings to mediumship, palmistry, bone throwing, séances, and other mystical experiences. There's even a dedicated séance parlor! They also offer classes, workshops, and special events for those looking to explore a little further beyond the veil. I look forward to attending those and have brought a bunch of friends by already to experience readings and shop.
What makes this place truly exceptional is the atmosphere. It's a sanctuary for the curious, the intuitive, the spiritually inclined, and those who appreciate the beautiful mysteries of the universe. You can feel the thought, care, and intention behind every detail.
HIGHLY, HIGHLY RECOMMEND.
Now, a word of warning...
ENTER IF YOU DARE! LOL. Only good witches, please.
Seriously. Please, only bring your good intentions, your honesty, and your best energy. This is a special protected place, and I'd very much like to keep it that way.
And frankly, I'm still debating whether I should have told you about it at all! :)
