When I was a child, my father used to take with him to this cool little metaphysical bookstore when he'd go for a book. I was too young to have interest in any of the books, but the shop sold those neat candles that had pewter and crystal trinkets hidden inside that were revealed as the candle burned away. Every now & then, he would buy one for me and we would burn it in the evenings. I learned about unicorns and wizards that way. I never see those candles anymore. I kinda miss that type of stuff.

I assume these are probably available online somewhere but it's not as magical as looking at the shapes and colors, touching the wax, trying to guess which one is the one with the best trinkets.
fun memory.
what do you mean by metaphysical book store though?
They sold books about metaphysics? π€·ββοΈ I remember my dad getting books about herbalism and eastern medicine, mysticism, Buddhism, and Napolean Hill's books so I think it open to wherever there was an intersection of knowledge, but that was the name of the storeπ They sold rocks and crystals, candles, herbs, jewelry, native american wood flute albums, probably a bunch of other stuff I don't remember. But it was mostly books.
haha thats awesome
π 'metaphysical bookstore' it's like when I talk to non anglophone people about my 'walking sticks '. I think they are expecting something out of the Fantasia .
I'm disappointed β¨οΈπ
My favourite bookshops! They always have random books that take you away from the ordinary, in a good way ππ
I love that your dad took you with him to visit such a shop π₯°
