Herbs & Heirlooms Inc — Attraction in Terre Haute

A large variety of crystals in glass cases that you can't touch and feel. You have to ask for assistance for a staff member to open the cases for you. Every time. And then they stand there. Watching you. Like a prison guard. I travel for a living and I've been in many spiritual shops. I've never seen a store with everything locked down. Just so everyone knows, this is not normal. You should be able to touch and feel everything. To feel what crystals and gems want to work with you. So that you can pick a crystal or gem stone that works best for your healing or spiritual journey. I talked with a staff member. Argumentative with a very fear based mentality. More worried about profits and shoplifting which really is only fostering a negative flow of energy in the shop. I'm guessing their crystals and gems don't sell well. I wanted to see a deck of Oracle cards, also locked up of course. She wouldn't leave me alone with them to look and read. That's like going to a book store and the books are locked up and then the staff is standing there while you find the book you want. Completely alienating and unprofessional. They operate based on fear about people taking their merchandise yet there isn't even a bell on the front door. Plenty of cameras which is understandable considering the lay out with the staff counter in the middle of the shop hidden from the rooms of merchandise.

It's unnatural. I've visited many metaphysical shops and the energy at this one felt constrictive and...

This store has been operating 25 years and it's not hard to see why. No matter your path, there is something for everyone. Herbal teas, crystals, handmade goods made with local herbs, local wood, etc. It's a small business that has so much love for Indiana. Staff are so knowledgeable and helpful with amazing humor. Some of the isles are a tight squeeze but you won't notice because you will be too busy being amazed at all the items. From statues to talismans, (alleged) bat's hearts, to lotions and candles...this place has it all. Prices are very fair and the quality of said-items speak for themselves. So whether witch, occultist, or neither...you must stop by and give...

A beautiful collection of spiritual items. I found everything that I could possibly need in a single location. As another reviewer noted, items are locked up, and for good reason. The cost of some of the stones would make a shoplifter a happy person. The employees were happy to open any case I wanted to look in and I was able to handle any item. If I had any questions, the employee was nearby to answer any of them without feeling like they were watching me. Honestly, if a person felt that the store was giving off vibes of fear from theft and the employees were watching them, I'd be concerned that this person was looking to lift things...
