This metaphysical supply store is the go-to place for new age books, crystals and mineral specimens, ethnic jewelry and handicrafts, incense, candles, essential oils and the like. When you’re walking down Harvard Avenue on a warm summer day, you will smell the incense wafting out from their doorway.

A cat named Lovebomb and an African gray parrot named Logos live here, coexisting in peaceful harmony.
