I really like this store, but they could stock more LHP books. They don’t have demonolatry books, at least not whenever I’ve been there. I suggest they stock some by S. Connolly and other demonolaters. I would like to buy the hard copies, but I don’t want to go to Amazon since I boycott Amazon.

I thoroughly enjoyed the vibe of this place. The cashier was also very knowledgeable and kind.

Really lovely and helpful staff. Cute shop animals. Great selection of items, especially books.

I had an issue and the owner of the shop was genuinely concerned and caring. The customer service is excellent and Prophet is extraordinarily friendly! Would definitely recommend!

Its a nice place with a lot of good stuff, the vibe is just weird.

Overwhelmingly beautiful store. I did not have time to see everything but sure I will return and the ambience was amazing

We walked it and it had a welcoming vibe to it. The owners had their dog in the store and that instantly makes the experience a 10/10. Theu have a great selection of books and metaphysical items, and everything seemed pretty reasonably priced.

Great place for everything you may need spiritually and good positive people working there willing to help you in anyway they can!

We always enjoy stopping by here, from the friendly and helpful staff to the cutest dog ever hanging and greeting everyone. Amazing selection of crystals and tarot cards. This place never dissapoints.

I love this place. If youre into Yoga then you need an uplifting cue, burn incense. Get your prompt s for spiritual necessities here.

I try to visit this shop every time Im in the area. I just feel so at peace the second I enter! They have a great variety of crystals, a super intriguing and inspiring book collection, a bunch of incense tools and accessories, and so many other cool things, many would make great gifts. Definitely a great experience, even if youre just passing through.

Spent over 45 minutes browsing the HUGE selection. Lots of hard-to-find books and exclusive editions. Really enjoyed exploring the many sections and seeing what they have to offer in subjects I was not that faniliar with. Staff is knowledgeable and helpful.

Love this place. I get my crystals and spiritual books here

They have an amazing selection of books, crystals and candles. The people were friendly and helpful too.

Such a cute shop, great prices too! Very cute dog working in the store too

Recently visited this store around the holidays and saw something I liked. Went back today and Maurice helped me locate the item I wanted. So happy with my purchase. The store houses a variety of books, very pretty jewelry, stones of all kinds.

The first time i ever visited this sacred space i was with a friend who introduced me to it. We took the subway and i didn’t have a dime over my carfare. Soon as we came up the subway stairs i found a 20.00 bill which i used to purchase The Hermetica a book of profound wisdom that changed my entire experience of reality. This is truly a holy place and all who travel towards it will find themselves blessed. Peace

Great selection of eclectic jewelry.

Always stocked with an excellent selection of astrology books and herbals. Ive gotten decent advice on occult practice here. A South Street gem.

Love this unique little place! I’ve been coming here since I was little with my mom. Now I bring my girls here to browse and absorb the good vibes!

I came here for the first time and I absolutely loved it, the prices are amazing and the lady I talked to was so helpful I can’t wait to go back !!!

Not gonna lie, when I first started coming here I was annoyed that the two older shop owners would kinda hawk you like they thought you were gonna steal something. I mean, I get it, they have a lit of valuables in a small shop in the city, I understand how anxious they must be. But lately people working here are way more lax, checking in with you here and there but not stalking you Lol. Their selection is amazing also, and I find something new every time I stop in. Ive bought a little of everything from books, to tarot, to crystals and gemstones. Also you can hand pick gemstones, and they are very fairly priced, which makes for excellent holiday shopping for the coven.

The same as I remember it....Awesome!

Beautiful store with great jewelry selection.

The staff is very helpful and the selection of jewelry is quite good. Got a favorite piece there. I wish they had a broader occult selection, but over all a solid new age book store.Edit: The last few times Ive tried to stop in there is an older woman who does not seem to understand that a global pandemic is on. She seems to think that standing behind the plastic shields at the desk is a magic aerosol stopper. She needs to put a mask on. All three times I tried to stop by, I took one look at her and walked out. Its a shame. The younger staff are all properly masked up. If this lady is the business owner she isnt doing herself any favors.I question my ability to respect a business that allegedly promotes health and wellness when they cant understand the importance of wearing a mask during a plague.

Its been a staple spot forEVER on south street, with everything youre looking for For your mind body and spirit ~ from books to stones, to tarot, to gifts, the energy you feel upon entering is only slightly diminished by the everlasting carpet smell. Sorry, not sorry, but as a cat person, its very obvious. Maybe some sage or incense to mute the smell. Ill still come in search of my mystical needs, thank you for continuing to serve the community!!💜💙🧚‍♀️

This place always is a calming experience for me. The staff is so helpful and sweet.

Awesome venue! Very nice customer care. Beautiful place to shop for gem stones and Egyptian jewelry...

Loved this place since since high school, Im 35 now...

Very nice little spiritual shop on South St

A bevvy of metaphysical and spiritual books as well as beautiful jewellery gems and minerals

I love this store but I always come out extremely uncomfortable. There have been times I’ve come out wanting to cry just because of how uncomfortable I get. Amazing goods but customer service could be much better.

Great vibes very welcoming... Will be visiting again! Highly recommend 10/10

I love this place. Some things are a bit too high priced (mostly in jewelry), but overall, if you know what you want & are looking for, this can be a great new age shop, especially for incense & stones. The atmosphere is great too.

My first time visiting. The atmosphere is very pleasing to the soul.

Love this place theyve got everything spiritual

I moved away from Philly recently and Garland of Letters is one of the only things I truly miss. Its such a magical and inviting place! An amazing range of books and products and the shopkeepers are always very pleasant. They used to have the cutest doggies that dwelled there and they were all for pets and belly rubs. Go in and stay a while :)

My go to book store for stones/ sage/ thought provoking books for all..Gifts/ collectible items as well...Most definitely a must see Store🙂

This shop is amazing, they have everything you could need! From books to crystals to incense, an amazing atmosphere and ontop of that to say the staff is kind is an understatement, my boyfriend and I forgot where we parked and they tried their best to help us find our car so sweet! Would highly recommend

Quality of products have always been A1 and the staff has always been very helpful. This is also the best place in the city for incense. Ive been shopping here since 1992 and the atmosphere has maintained the same serenity since then.

Been going to Garland of Letters since the 70s!! One of the hippist stores on South Street. I highly recommend a visit to store.

Lovely place

Has a great selection of books, jewelry and other items that can assist one on their spiritual journey.

Best crystal store in the city. Best stock and staff. Brought my nephew in for his bday and they gave him a free stone. So sweet made his day. 5 stars!

Beautiful place for mystical advice.

Awesome I love this store, its geared towards spiritual minded folk. You can find your safe, your Crystals, pendants, books, incense what ever it here.

Such a special spot with unique gifts and insightful books to pleaseost. A store that can keep u entertained for lots longer than most stores u will find.

I dont like this store@ all

I truly love this place... such a great atmosphere leaving out of the store feels depressing LOL... I get my tarot and oracle cards from here.. they also have a nice sized selection of crystals as well.

Great shop for anyone who is into inspirational/Zen type stuff, and even if youre not, its still fun to go in there and check out their selection. They have everything from incense to crystals and some really interesting books; I found one in particular that links colors to astrological signs to describe ones love life. I’ve also bought a few books here by my #1 favorite author/muse SARK. Of course, some will argue that all this stuff is B.S., but its really up to you how you interpret it.

My favorite book store of all times. It smells so good in there. Anytime Im in center City I have to go there.

Staff is okay. Ive had pretty fair experiences. They could have more of a selection on certain things. Store can be a bit congested and overcrowded. Id suggest that they reorganize the store if they insist on standing next to customers and pretend to work so they wont steal. If you must go, Id say go. But Ill be checking out the other stores and shopping online from now on.

Nice quiet bookstore. Lots of fun and new things to look at. I love their stone collection. Four stars because you wouldnt even know anyone worked there since they never came out from behind the counter to see if I needed help.

Great books and crystals. This place is brimming with good energy

3 stars are better than none, I certainly do not disregard this shop, but some things need to be apprehend. They have a variety of crystals that I even buy for myself. I admire some of the crystals that I have purchase. I would visit there only if I need crystals.

Been coming here for years. Always love my experiences shopping here.

I spent about $300+ on a bracelet and a ring here, and one of the opal stones fell out of the ring after 3 weeks, and the whole amber stone fell out of the bracelet. I got a video of the old white woman behind the counter telling me they would give me only $108 of STORE CREDIT and that they would send the bracelet and ring out to be repaired but THEY WOULD BE KEEPING THE JEWLERY. WHAT!? They must have thought I was stupid. Its a short walk to jewelers row, where I can have both pieces repaired for less than $108, AND I just want to say I have spend $600-$700 on jewelry here in THE PAST MONTH ALONE so Julia Roberts said in Pretty Woman BIG MISTAKE, Ill take my money back to the underground females artists at places like Tesoro on the other end of South street.

Need to get rid of some bad juju? Grab some clear quartz and adventurine. Great combo... If youre not sedated by that pervasive orgone energy when you step inside then you may need some detoxing.Blue kyanite once induced an obe for me during a detox regime. Moldavite is the truth

Nice place to find many hard to find items. Great place to browse with a knowledge staff. I am excited about my finds today and about my next visit.

They have a little bit of everything here and a large variety of books. Crystals, incense, tarot cards, oils, trinkets, jewelry, and tons and tons of books. It’s pretty much my go to for my spiritual needs. It would be nice if the staff would engage in a little more conversation. The vibe from the staff can be somewhat dry and it can come off as unwelcoming at times. Perhaps it needs to be that way because it is indeed on South Street and with the amount of traffic that place generates, I assume they gotta watch out for shop lifters. Aside from that, this place is pretty stellar.

Its a beautiful place amidst the hipster chaos on South Street. Your visit to the store will transport your a different world altogether. The incense and the ambience is mesmerising, moreover the store has an extensive collection of curated articles.Its a must visit place, you will always find something to take back home.

South Street’s gift shop and book store

Pathetic. Was rushed out of the store very rudely even though their hours say they are open until 9pm. Wouldnt think someone that works at a place like this could be so inconsiderate. Shop elsewhere for your healing needs.

I went in looking for a particular incense - sage. The staff were friendly and helpful! This shop has so much more than incense though... Something for everyone!

Ive been a long time patron, but a recent visit has me rethinking my loyalty. I purchased a bundle of sage. When I got home and removed it from the brown bag, the sage was in a shrimp or spring roll bag used for Chinese food! Is business that bad? Was Garland of Letters recently sold to people who have no respect for the sacred? Even the Energy in the store has changed. Its not the same place...

They have it all. I find myself shopping in there even if i dont need anything. I love this store. Would give it 5 if they could lower their prices but hey...its south street. They probably have a high rent.

Loveliest place and people in the world, they let me bring my dogs Bodhi and Joko in, and they were so kind to all three of us. So beautiful and welcoming

They have a great amount of books on Buddhism and Martial Arts.

A wonderful store full of new age books, oils, jewelry and incense. They used to carry my favorite incense brand, Airs, but I havent seen it in a while.

Has everything you need! Love it.

Great place for getting stones, candles, books and many other things.If your enjoy spiritual parts of life this is a place to visit.

A south street classic. Loads of wonderful incense, candles and oils, metaphysical books, crystals and minerals. Reasonably priced, quality merchandise and friendly staff

Hands down one of my favorite stores on south st!! It would be great if they had a website! 👑❤🔮

One of my favorite places in philly, Id rent a room and live there if I could.

Has a lot of cool and unusual stuff

Interesting store with nice, knowledgeable employees

Extraordinarily Unique Bookstore

Ive been going to this place since i was a little girl with dad and loved it always !!

The is one of my always stops when in Philly. The best spiritual and metaphysical store that I have visitied: an astounding the selection of books and the best incense selection and prices that Ive found. The staff is always friendly and helpful The building itself has a nice presense: its just a nice place to be.

Great for books but for supplies.... Harrys or Ritual Ritual

Great service friendly people

One of my all time favorite stores in the entire city of Philadelphia.

Im not quite sure why Mandy only gave this place 3 stars, its super great! If youre looking for incense, books, or anything else esoteric or Eastern, this is the place to go.

They are so nice and informed

Great store, but missing a nice selection of window crystals.

Everything mystical and magical! Books, stones, incense; get cha studies and supplies on!

My name is Neese. Today, I walked in this store and the owner was EXTREMELY rude. I asked her if she could tell me more about the wands she sold in the store and sadly she could not even explain. I was curious because Ive never seen them stores...only online. So anyway I asked her to tell me more about them. All she could say is treat it like a gun. Just dont point at people. People use it for the wrong reason. As Im waiting for an explanation she looked at me like I was stupid and had a dead stare. Almost devilish like. Very scary...I shoukd have walked out because my guy and i both had a negative feeling about this senior citizen. So I proceeded to ask the next question. How do you clean it? She said with your breath. Im sorry but in my mind Im thinking this lady has NOOOOOOOOO clue what shes selling. She said well I hope your not asking me this so you can clean it with dish detergent. I looked at her like she was nuts and said uuummm no. Ive taken ReikI and i clean stones with Sage and or water, the sun or moon. Just naming a few. So then she yelled at me and said this is my store. Someone please tell me what you having a store has any has anything to do with your little knowledge. Thats like someone asking me how do you water plants, and my answer would be Im a registered nurse. Thank god shes is not in the medical field because I would have to school her again. Anyway, I then told her which one I wanted. She refused to sell it to me. She said I should buy the one that looked the prettiest to me and not buy the one that I intended to buy. Mind you they all looked pretty, but i wanted protection. It was so bad my guy had to walk over because she was getting irrate. This woman is either delusional, sexist, racist, crazy or a jealous person. Or If your in an interracial relationship do not walk in this store. If you do, do not speak to her. I have never been in that type of situation before. I said to her all I wanted was the price. I didnt ask for her sarcastic old nasty attitude. By the time she finally told me the price, I laughed in total disbelief and said all i wanted was the price. I was too hurt to purchase. She almost ruined my trip to Philly. After we left my guy said he heard her give another lady attitude before I asked her for her help. If I had known that prior I would had never even asked her. I would have asked the guy at the counter who seemed far more intelligent. FEMALES... If you ever walk in this store and you are young and attractive please AVOID the old judgmental owner. Thankfully I didnt settle, because I found a better selection elsewhere and the owner and or staff was very pleasant. I told her about my experience at Garland and she said wasnt surprised because people came in her store saying the exact same thing. Misery loves company and she will not destroy the love Im my heart that God has given me :)

They make me wanna shop online. They been there for a long time and tend to dice roll judge people as they walk in. Two stars, I like the lion in the front and they sell bible bars, so theres that.

Very Rude and Disrespectful..... dont waste your money here

Helpful and polite staff.

Always a place to stop!

Loving since 99

I always find what I need here Ive been coming here for 20 years.

Wide variety of unusual items.

Great palace

Good valentines day gifts

Love this store!

One stop shop

Beautiful metaphysical store with a ton of worldly literature and beautiful crystals.
