Aum Shanti Bookshop & Psychic Tarot Card Readings — Local services in New York

I never leave reviews because I usually forget or just can't be bothered but I loved this shop so much I am leaving maybe my 5th review ever lol!

I randomly found Aum Shanti via google because I was visiting NYC and wanted to get a reading. I loved their website and the videos they have explaining different readings and terms. It's hard to balance earnestness and modernity and tradition but this shop really does it beautifully.

I booked a reading with Tuesdai who is quite possibly the most exquisitely magical person I have ever met, but also maybe just in existence. I had time before my reading so I did some browsing and my biggest takeaway was just how beautiful the energy of the shop is overall. It is a very well curated space in every regard. The selection of items is impressive and thorough, from beautiful jewelry and incense to books and various card decks, ceremony candles and ritual supplies. Whoever merchandises this store knows what they are doing and clearly cares a great deal.

This is a space and entity worth supporting and experiencing. I did my reading in person but I would absolutely feel safe and fulfilled doing a virtual reading through them. I cannot possibly say enough about Tuesdai and what a gift she is.

This shop...

This place gets it! I honestly feel that we live in a metaphysical world. Many are searching for guidance, direction or their true north. Since 2014, when I discovered Aum Shanti Bookshop I made it a habit to drop in 2 to 3 times a month. In doing so, I created I crystal jewelry business, gone deeper in my faith, expanded my meditation to be more multicultural. Last but not least, I've learned to respect more individuals and their beliefs! Thank you, to the proprietor of the establishment Rakesh for providing a space for me to grow in Manhattan a.k.a Gotham City. ( I hope I spelled your name correctly, especially after all these years.) I love you, your energy and your shop! I hope you stay open for many years to come. I believe this place can help so many. I believe this because I am living proof. To the one reading this, may you be blessed to the universe and back and around! Namaste + Asé + Amen...

I fell in love with this shop since the first time I walked in there a few years ago. As a practicing Wiccan I can say that they have just about every single thing one might need in terms of ritual and altar supplies. They have a wide variety of incense, essential oils, candles, books (especially those hard to find) calendars, etc. There are many tarot card decks, rune stones, and pendulums made from all kinds of stones and metals for divination. They also have some lovely jewelry. The energy of the store is extremely pleasant and clear, just as it should be. The staff is super friendly, helpful and you can tell they know their wares Prices are not bad considering the location. They can also place an order for you if you're looking for something specific that they don't currently have or that's out of stock. Overall, it's a wonderful place for all...
