She used my phone to give me a psychic reading and immediately touched on real-time issues I've been dealing with. I was genuinely shocked at how accurate and intuitive she was. I'm leaving feeling so much lighter and reassured, she validated feelings I already had but needed confirmation on. I highly recommend getting a psychic reading from her. If you're even thinking about doing it, just do it.

However, she later reached out to explain that there had been a family emergency. She was very apologetic and took the time to make things right, which I really appreciated. We rescheduled, and during the actual session she was kind, warm, and welcoming. The reading itself was well-structured and felt believable, though of course I'll have to wait and see how things unfold. I appreciated her effort to make up for the initial inconvenience and her kindness throughout the session.

Alexandria Bookstore is one of those rare places that feels magical the moment you walk in. The…read moreselection is thoughtfully curated, with everything from spiritual and metaphysical books to unique gifts and meaningful finds you don't see everywhere else. The atmosphere is calm, welcoming, and full of character. You can take your time browsing without feeling rushed, and there's something about the energy of the space that feels grounding and inspiring at the same time. The staff is kind, knowledgeable, and genuinely helpful if you're looking for something specific or just exploring. It's the kind of bookstore you leave feeling a little lighter and more connected. A true Pasadena treasure. I always find something meaningful here.

I've been shopping at this store for the past seven years and have always enjoyed the atmosphere…read more The employees have been friendly, although they don't always acknowledge you unless you approach them first for assistance. Unfortunately, my experience this past December left me with a bad impression. I stopped in to buy Christmas gifts and while I was being helped by the employee at the register, I asked if they happened to have small handouts explaining the properties of a few crystals that came from the glass shelves. They weren't sure, so they asked the older employee/manager standing nearby. His response was rude. He came over and said they would have to print one out and didn't have time to do that. I wasn't expecting anyone to go out of their way to print something--I was just asking in case they had copies available at the front. A polite "no, we don't" would have been fine. Instead, the sharp tone was embarrassing, especially since it happened in front of other customers, the employee helping me, and my partner. I still purchased my items, but the interaction left me hesitant to return. This is a shop that should feel warm, welcoming, and relaxing considering what it offers. Nobody should leave feeling uncomfortable after a simple question.

There's a reason they've been in biz for almost half a century (less than half at this location I…read morebelieve). My cusp of magic friend worked at a new age place during grad school but she quit and moved back to Texas when her real career took off. I won't name the place or the clientele but the clientele includes A-list celebrities/models, some of whom are icons your kids constantly repost on Tumblr from their heyday and currently still relevant. Being in touch with being on the cusp of prophecy, I was always giving her advice but more so in line with adding informed astrological decisions especially under disseminating moon phases when my intuition is at it's sharpest. I continued going there every now and then even after she was gone as it sold basics of what I typically look for until I interacted with new people they hired who did not seem to have a clue and by the end of my last purchase it would have been the third time I'd given someone who worked there, insightful advice. My friend also told me the new people weren't very good and she always wanted to hear stories of my interactions with them to confirm. It reminded me of when I was at Yoga House in flow and the instructor made an astrologically inaccurate statement about the current moon phase - there's just some new age places that are totally off when they try to play in that new age vibe but not all will catch it. Needless to say I haven't been back after that major third eye roll moment. And I wasn't even there for astrological insight, just physical flow. But if it is going to be mentioned it should at least be accurate. I decided to look for a botanica because I missed the groundedness of a real root work place and the airy abstraction of new age places was beginning to feel like a total drag. This is the nearest place, if not the only if I recall, that came up from Yelp searching "botanica." Lucky! The last time I've been to a botanica and saw an ordained priestess was in Texas almost a decade ago. In LA it's all pagan new age "hey kids wanna buy some magic? And maybe step up your Rennfaire outfit?" vibes. It felt so refreshing to be in a root work space again. I can't believe it is so much closer to me and I've been going to all the different places (not for readings, but basic supplies that would never change for me; something about those places just made me feel like they couldn't tell me what I myself can't with my own cards - and since I'm familiar or acquainted with a few I definitely can rule their psychic insight out). I only go for readings when I really can't figure things out for myself with my own cards and there's a real veil I can't seem to lift or pierce on my own and need further insight. Richard is the best person I've ever gotten a reading from thus far. I also came in having meditated on my questions in such a way to allow him to more easily access the answers. Even though I don't get them often I've gotten them enough as a standard of comparison to make that statement...I've gotten read 3 times in Texas 2 of which were cowrie shell readings, once in Palm Springs which didn't feel like a reading, and now. His tarot reading approach is unique, with stones, tapping into a lot more. He isn't vague and had a lot to say. It's $50. These readings tell you more about your spirit guides and ancestors coming through that support you (it is not a coincidence he gave me the same exact number of spirits with me as my reading a decade ago in Texas and included some same some new but accurate details to confirm the ancestors). Run of the mill hipster new agey tarot readers in Silverlake cannot tell you these things about the spirit world and are less psychically in tune; it seems they simply interpret cards that are drawn. While highly intuitive, most are not actually psychic. They could not pierce the spiritual veil as Richard did. I didn't know cowrie shell readings were an option here but good to know they are, it is at $70. I love how this place sells Mexican Nivea, makes me feel like I'm really in another country. As with any place that "sells magic" I recommend you still try to approach any place as level headed as possible (although people might tend to get readings when desperate). Obviously there's no magic to weight loss, for example; you don't really need a sign to affirm whether or not you need to get physically healthy for yourself. With such matters, you either do or don't. As much as I believe, it's important to be realistic and put in your own work for yourself for these things to work for you (and why I like that it's called ROOT work because that just grounds it for me). It requires cultivated self-knowledge and self-possession otherwise it will be futile because you'll find what you didn't know about yourself in itself is one obstacle. And when you don't know or don't know that or what you don't know, ask Richard. Seriously. Best to bring cash since there's a $2 surcharge.

Pinoko is so kind, generous and caring. Most times, I don't need to say anything before she intuits the things that are stressing me out or worrying me. Based on that initial assessment, she will decide on the type of reiki healing session, and I ALWAYS walk out feeling better and more hopeful than before. She is the most gifted reiki healer I know and I cannot recommend her enough. She is typically available on Wednesday, but I've contacted her through her social media to make alternative arrangements (since I work on weekdays). Indigo Collective is a nice space with a good stock of crystals, books, decks, jewelry, incense and other metaphysical goods. They have a good psychic fair once a month and a variety of weekly classes. I've gone to the fair a few times, which is where I met Pinoko. The employees are very responsive and thoughtful especially when I am booking my appointments. They have PLENTY of parking in their lot.

Sometimes, it's just best to bring in the professionals for that extra support. I knew immediately that I needed Kristin. I purchased a distance-reiki healing package, which was perfect- I love the idea of receiving deep healing from the comfort of my own home. No need to worry about driving home after, I can just float around my house or fall asleep when my sessions were complete. As always, Kristin's highly intuitive sessions were relaxing and energetically on point. She picked up on my energy so well, that her re-caps were often identical to my experience! I remember one session where I visualized energy coming from the center of the earth, up through roots, into my body. Guess what Kristin did? She described that exact same vision to me after our session finished! The woman is tapped IN. I'm looking forward to more sessions in the future. I love her gentle support and she always seems to be right! She's the real deal!
