Storm Wisdom had only been open a couple of days when, driving down Shea, we noticed the sign and decided to stop in and see what the store was all about.
Storm Wisdom calls itself "A Spiritual Oasis" and has items for both the collector of geological specimens and for those who use stones and crystals as part of their spirituality. The latter aspect is subtle enough that even those who would be uncomfortable in a "new age" store will be comfortable here. In fact, it's hard not to be, surrounded by so many beautiful things. Storm Wisdom is also a gallery, and features many paintings, sculptures both still and kinetic, and crystals and geodes so huge they can most certainly be displayed as Earth's own art. They also sell beautiful velvet bags embellished with stones and embroidery, meteorites, wands, crystal bowls for sound therapy, leather-bound journals, and jewelry. There were many pieces of jewelry I would have loved to purchase as the prices were quite reasonable, but we found an amethyst pendant for my mother-in-law for Mother's Day. It was a risk, as it was a really unique piece, and rather bold. She called yesterday and said she absolutely loved it.
They do also have a number of meeting rooms, one large for group workshops, and several small ones for private readings and healing sessions.
The owner, Charles, is friendly yet unobtrusive, and very knowledgeable. The store is impeccable, peaceful, and so very tasteful. We'll be back soon.
