Ritual Arts — Local services in Boston

UPDATE: After being informed, I know now that sage (which is sold at this store) is culturally appropriated in its usage and have been a part of Indigenous culture and rituals for centuries. Indigenous tribes have been speaking out asking to stop using this herb as it is becoming overharvested and is sacred to them. If you visit this store, please do not purchase sage or (if they have it) palo santo! You can use incense instead for smoke cleansing, and I'm sure there are many other methods that are more environmentally friendly and non-culturally appropriative :)

Wonderful little shop featuring a wide selection of crystals, jewelry, incense, tarot decks, and more. Workers are always super helpful and patient. There's also birds, a cat, and a dog who occasionally roam around. Crystals may seem inexpensive on its own but the total usually ends up a lot more expensive than you may think, so take care to keep track of the prices if that's a concern for you. Also, the store is very small and it can get very cramped very quickly, and some days can get very busy so be aware of that. Otherwise, I love this store and will definitely be a frequent visitor.

For 31 years this has been THE place in Boston for occult / metaphysical stuff. They must be doing something right.

There's also a giant amount of mid to high end glass pipes for smoking... substances. But the pipes here are more like wild works of art than utilitarian ways to get your buzz on. Did I mention the pets? A big grey parrot who sometimes walks around the store, a fluffy black kitty who sits on the counter and wants you to pet him, a little black and white guinea pig in a cage by the books,... This plus the friendly ladies who work there, always ready to give advice or have a laugh make this Ritual Arts certainly one of the most unique...

I was looking for a shop that would carry interesting types of jewelry for my girlfriend and was suggested Ritual Arts by her friend. I couldn't be happier with what they offered. The staff was incredibly helpful once i admitted to not knowing anything about rings and necklaces. Their patience was much appreciated and the incredible energy there was irrefutable.

All the animals added such a great genuine vibe to the shop and i left there in such a great mood. So good that i had to write this review upon leaving.

Huge selection, great prices and amazing staff! I will be back again,...
