A Transcendent Experience at EarthSpeak
On Saturday, July 16th, I visited EarthSpeak’s new location for the first time. I had stopped by on a Thursday in late winter not knowing that the store was closed. Regardless, I wanted to sense the energy of the place. Upon reaching the top of the stairs, I noticed a beautiful scent emanating from the front door. Closer to the door, I smelled something wonderful – and wished for my home to sell like that! It was a trip well taken because it motivated me to return. For the first time in decades, I asked my boss to grant me to take Saturday off for the purpose of a revisit. As I opened the door and slowly walked in, I was greeted by Nina, Gwen, and Jennifer. All three ladies radiated genuine smiles and sincere kindness. I was mind-blown that people could treat a stranger in such an unexpectedly positive way – especially these days. I felt as though I had walked into special atmosphere and a spiritual realm. I was deeply touched by my reception and I savor reliving that moment. Having visited the Kimberton store several years ago, I gained a sense of that place. I shared my observation with Nina that the “Soul’ of the former store is thriving in the new location. This suggests that Spirit possesses metaphysical substance and values which are symbolized, not only by the non-commercial nature of the products, but especially in the character of the employees. I was delighted to find unusual scents of incense. I purchased a card with incredible artwork to express my thoughts to a special person that I have not even met. I asked Nina about the best smudging technique. She explained the difference between loose and bundled. She emphasized best practices for fire prevention safety. I am grateful for Nina’s “Sage Advice!” My cat, Pyewacket, follows me from room to room as I smudge and bless my Living Space – it’s a meaningful and fun process! Seventeen months ago, I experienced a profoundly sad life-changing experience. Its fallout caused me to evaluate my purpose in Life. I have discovered new strength and positivity which drives me to discover a new Spiritual Path and raison d’etre. I believe EarthSpeak’s literary resources may be instrumental in the pursuit of that Path. In 1856, the building was a schoolhouse and ironically, is now a place to enlighten its customers to a deeper appreciation of Mind and Heart – how appropriate!
I wish EarthSpeak great success and recognition for the quality of its employees and the value of its unique products. My experience last Saturday made me an apostle of Earthspeak and a customer for...
Read moreEarthSpeak is a nice little shop with a varied selection. Unfortunately, though, the stone inside the ring I bought from there broke after one wear. (I was very gentle with it - I take pride in caring for my stones and jewelry - and still the stone shattered to pieces on my hand.) I'm not from the area, but recently stopped in to see if they could do anything to make the situation right. The woman behind the counter told me that they could not, and that they usually "don't do anything with stuff like this." (However, I see now that I'm reading reviews from about three months back that they have made strides to remedy these situations in the past.) I paid a decent amount of money for a ring I got a day's worth of wear out of, and I'm pretty bummed about that. I would love to recommend this place to people but I can't trust the quality of their wares, or their...
Read moreGreat little store. I loved that there are sample decks of Tarot and Oracle cards so customers can really view the entire deck before deciding. Great selection on cards, gems, incense and candles and much more. I appreciated the attention to detail by the owner. For example, I purchased an Amethyst stone, and a green candle. She wrapped the Amethyst in purple tissue paper and the green candle in green paper. A little thing but that's the special touch that makes all the difference especially in small businesses. She also gave me a free sample of incense, even tho I was familiar with the brand, and said it's one of my favorites, she still gave me two sticks for free. This was a destination visit, since I live an hour away. It was totally worth the drive. I spent over an hour in the shop just looking...
