Entry No. 21 — the Philadelphia file — filed under: holistic gift shop
Thirteen Circles
A women-founded, veteran-owned 'new age holistic gift shop' just outside the city (a subsidiary of the Witch's Way Craft brand) selling candles, crystals and enchanting goods, with scheduled tarot and palm readings plus an event space it rents out for private gatherings.
The story
If you take the regional rail or drive up the Schuylkill Expressway into Conshohocken, Fayette Street looks like standard suburban main-street fare until you step into 320 Fayette. Opened in late 2022 as an offshoot of the Witch's Way Craft brand, Thirteen Circles brings full-spectrum magick supplies out of hidden city basements and right into a sunlit storefront on the main drag.
You won't find a dusty, dimly lit backroom where people speak in hushed tones here; this is a bright, thoroughly organized studio stocking hand-poured ritual candles, raw crystals, artisan jewelry, and esoteric literature. The shop carries seasonal goods like Lughnasadh candles alongside intention-spelled waxes, all laid out with the practical efficiency you would expect from its women-veteran founders who traded military structure for ritual craft.
Beyond the retail shelves, the shop acts as a focal point for suburban practitioners. They run small-group workshops on-site—everything from making crystal ornaments to New Moon circle meetings aligned with astrological events—and rent out the space for private gatherings when you need a quiet room for your own ritual work.
What it's like
Expect a bright, modern shop smelling faintly of soy wax and dried herbs rather than overwhelming incense smoke. You can browse crystal trays and tarot decks without anyone giving you an unsolicited high-priestess pitch, but if you want an actual tarot or palm reading, you need to lock in a slot online before heading over. Street parking on Fayette Street gets tight during peak hours, so park a block or two over on a side street, give yourself forty-five minutes to explore, and pair it with a walk down Conshohocken's downtown strip.
The move: Book a tarot or palm reading slot ahead of time, then browse candles and crystals while you wait — small enough for an easy half-day trip out of the city with a walkable downtown Conshohocken afterward.
