In Albuquerque, I stopped at Abitha’s Metaphysical Shop. This is a small store, but it is packed with cool stuff. A wooden rack holds 75 decks of Tarot cards. A glass case displays nearly 500 essential oils. The place has walls of candles, incense, herbs, and books. You can also find powders, drums, and essential items for rituals.
The people who work at the shop are psychic, each in their own way. The owner, Reta, blends the essential oils. Some oils are based on old recipes. Other oils are based on formulas which Reta channels. She uses the oils to infuse incense and candles for customers. Customers can also use the oils directly on their body.
Before COVID, psychics provided readings and classes at Abitha’s. Readers no longer have regular hours at the shop. However, Reta is planning a couple of psychic fairs on the front sidewalk. The first one will be October 24. From what I hear, wonderful readers show up at Abitha’s.
The shop was founded in 1988 when Reta’s mother and aunt were interested in performing rituals. They couldn’t find the supplies they needed, so they decided to open a shop and supply these items to the community. In 2012, Reta became the manager. She continues to supply the items her customers seek.

In Santa Fe, I stopped at The Ark Bookstore. This is not promoted as a psychic shop, but is a big space, full of metaphysical and self-help books. The store overflows with books.
In addition, there is a terrific wall of socks with all kinds of messages (see photo below). Crystals and jewelry are available for purchase, as are yoga supplies.
When I asked about psychic readings, I was told that they haven’t hosted them since COVID began, but were about to bring in an Astrologer once a week. If you’re in Santa Fe, look for that event.
This shop had a lovely energy and I found myself purchasing gifts for a few people, and a large orange calcite pyramid for myself. You can discover more about The Ark Bookstore on their website, www.arkbooks.com.
Also in Santa Fe, on a walk to the Plaza, I found a sign for Psychic Readings. The sign intrigued me, but I didn’t stop. While I was curious about what I might hear, I prefer to speak with psychics who have been recommended to me. I want to know from my friends and acquaintances that the psychics are real.
Next week, I’ll write more about the psychics I met.
