Wisdom of the Ages — Local services in Simsbury

As an intuitive and reiki practitioner, I have been going to Wisdom of the Ages for the past 14 years. I cannot explain the warmth and calmness that I feel as soon as I enter the store, which is always followed by the cheerful greetings from either the owner, Jane or her son, Charlie (or both if they are both working that day). Wisdom is always my go-to for my smudging and crystal needs, and whenever I am uncertain for what is calling to me (or whomever I am shopping for), Jane & Charlie are always right on the money without even looking up a name or hesitating on where the crystal I need is located. And if there is something that I need that is unavailable, they will gladly special order it for me. There are many times they have gone above and beyond for me & my husband. One time I bought a beautiful carnelean & copper necklace there, and it unfortunately snapped - I contacted the store, and they graciously said that they would personally have the jeweler fix it at no cost to me! Another time they had an amazing amber piece that was a little out of my budget that day, and kindly made arrangements for me to do a "lay-a-way" payment plan. And on multiple occasions, if my husband or I saw an item that they had newly posted on their Facebook page (most recently pieces of Arkansas Quartz, and a moonstone ring) - I would reach out to see if they could put it on hold since we are about an hour away, and all times they gladly have obliged - if someone else hadn't saved or bought them already. I have throughout the years recommended many of my friends, family, and clients to visit this amazing shop whether for the crystals, classes, or to just scoop up some positive energy, and urge you to visit...

A truly amazing place! I discovered this treasure about 3 years ago when I moved to Simsbury. It's a peaceful, kind and unique place to visit time and time again; where you can always find that special item - be it crystals, handmade unique jewelry, Native American smudge, candles, blown glass, inspirational note cards, original photography, books and CD's, healing items, drums, singing bowls, and much more. Jane (the owner, who is an absolute wealth of Wisdom, knowledge about the crystals, stones, and all the items in the store) and Charlie, who also manages the store, leads monthly drum circles, does readings, and co-facilitates monthly meditations! Always friendly, calm, respectful of everyone who walks through their door, and knowledgeable beyond belief! I have personally experienced how healing the meditation groups are (with copies of the meditation available on CD for you!) The drumming circles and other special events frequently offered provide an oasis of tranquility in a world that is too often rushed and chaotic. Charlie and Jane will extend themselves any way they can to help you....without pressure or expectation....Wisdom of the Ages is more than a "Store"; it is genuinely a place worth experiencing over...

This is my favorite place in the whole world! Their slogan, A Special Place to Nurture Your Spiritual Side, is so true! They have the most amazing and affordably priced selection of crystals and gemstones from around the world that they handpick to take care of their customers! And the peaceful, comforting, welcoming and accepting environment of the store creates the most awesome place to come and spend as long as you want exploring the shop and asking questions of the owner Jane and her son Charlie. It seems that their knowledge of crystals is endless! This is also your one-stop shop for fine art nature/wildlife photography to bring peace and beauty to your space, unique jewelry, oracle and tarot cards, aromatherapy goods, and so much more! Google would probably stop me for using too many words in one review if I were to list all of the awesome things they have in the store. Just go there and you’ll feel better! I have gotten really incredibly accurate and helpful psychic medium readings there and the meditation classes and other events are so comforting and healing. They even teach a traditional martial art in weekly classes there! It really is a special place to nurture your...
