As metaphysical practices gain mainstream popularity, Delaware’s experts are opening shops across the First State to meet the demand.
The information age has led to acceptance and understanding for many different subcultures and groups, including those in tune with the spiritual realm. Those who participate in different forms of spiritualism and wellness have seen a surge of popularity for things like crystals, aromatherapy, tarot reading and more. Demand for metaphysical shops is certainly at a high point, and knowledgeable individuals across Delaware are answering the call.
Whether you’re curious about metaphysics and want to learn more or are seeking new crystals to add to your growing collection, these shops are a great place to start.
Mandie’s Magical Marketplace
You can’t talk about metaphysics in Delaware without mentioning Mandie Stevenson. Delaware’s own witchy woman and spiritual healer has been operating Mandie’s Magical Marketplace for years. She began her journey in psychic readings and spiritual healing at a young age and has been practicing most of her life. She gained popularity in her community largely through her Full Moon Gatherings in Delaware. Mandie’s goal through her work as a spiritual healer and shop owner is to further educate society on the gentle and helpful nature of Wicca and witchcraft. With her first location in Lewes and a second in Wilmington, Mandie’s is a convenient shop no matter where in the First State you’re coming from.
