Question on pagan items

[Tranquility]

Hello everyone, i was just wondering what type of store would you find a Pentagram in? I have been looking all over my town and all out of my town, just wondering about some stores that you bought them from.
Im assuming the ones you bought were solid, not a picture right?
thanks!

I find stuff online... there arent many stores in my area to supply my needs... I like this online shop...the pyramid collection (http://www.pyramidcollection.com/)

Hope that helps:)

Depends on the area you live in. Where I live, we have a few good stores. They carry SOME things, but not all. I bought most of my stuff on line as well. Actually, from a now defunct auction site called E-witch (which also got me to MW many moons ago).

I hear E-bay has some auctions for Pagan items.

I know all too well what you mean. The place that I bought most of my jewelry and incense went out of business about 6 weeks ago. Have you considered making one? Polymer clay is available at most craft and department stores. I'm planning on making some jewelry for gifts and for myself using it. Wire wrapping may be a good medium too use in making a pentacle as well.

wire wrapping with small glass beads would look pretty.. and the clay to make small leaves of ivy or whatnot to place on the pentacle... there are so many possibilities! You don't just have to be stuck purchasing already-made ones. ;)

See i couldn't open a shop because im 15 =)

One advantage of making your own would be unique as well as more tuned to you.

Small interjection - age isn't really that much of a problem. A local Pagan shop was opened by a 17 year old a few years ago.

But how could i open a pagan shop if im 15? I Can't even legally get payed over minimum wage yet alone own a shop, nor do i know how, or have credit cards =)

I don't know the laws in CT but in WV, no, you couldn't "open a shop." You could sell stuff online or even at fairs, but getting a business license would be impossible and getting wholesalers to do business with you would be a nightmare, if you didn't have an adult to make the deals. Then there is loan money, which you couldn't get, etc. Don't worry about that. I've reread the thread three times now and am not sure where you got the idea anyway. :)

I get almost everything from Ebay. Occasionally, I find they don't have things if they are really specific and obscure but for the most part, they've had everything I need. There is also witchshop.net . Another thought is that you might want to try a store like Spencer's or, if you have one there, Hot Topic. Also some stores that sell music and/or jewelry for body piercings should have something or would be able to order one. Don't be afraid to ask store owners if they might be able to order one for you. Especially in a very liberal-looking store. They want your business and probably aren't very likely to give you much grief. At least they wouldn't here.

I love the P/C too I just can't afford anything there!

Try www.AzureGreen.com too.
They'll even send you a paper catalog.

I think The Pyramid Collection also sends paper catalogs!;)

I LOVE to shop!

Have you gone to www.witchvox.com to find shops in your area? I live in a reasonobly little place too, I cant exactly mail order stuff either cos of my nosey nosey family so I usually end up making stuff - I love being creative anyways!:) A great thing is Halloween sales if you ask me!
Anyways, Witchvox is a great site to find not only shops but ppl in your area and work shops! :) Theres a witchy shop in my town self confessed to be "disguised as a giftshop" lol!
