What a wonderful and welcoming place. It is adorable shop full of many treasures, but it also is host to many amazing programs. It is definitely worth checking their Facebook to see what astounding options they have. The owner is a ray of sunshine who has a heart for everyone. Definitely worth checking out.
I have had a rough time here as of late. Just knowing youre so close by helped. The atmosphere was wonderful and the black kitty so pretty. It feels like shopping in the Practical Magic house. Everyone was so kind and so helpful. I will be back.
A wonderful accepting place filled with a huge selection of everything you could need to help yourself grow with your spirituality. Very helpful patient employees that will help you with whatever it is you need! A wonderful place to go and feel welcomed and special. I can not say enough good words about this business!
Truly enchanting location! I heard so much about this place and finally got the chance to stop in. I was not disappointed. There is such a wide collection of crystals, incense, attire, knowledge it was amazing!Its brilliant to place it in such a historical building as well because there are paranormal entities that reside within.They have constant contact with the fae and the girl behind the counter gave me some awesome tips in my own goals to acquaint myself with them!I got the briefly meet who I believe to be the owner and frankly, Ive never met anyone simultaneously so mysterious, wise, empathic, and so magnetic, her energy was, well it draws you in, such that I hope to get to know her and all the staff better.Long story short, this place is the real deal, and you wont regret stopping in! Everyone from the deeply invested in the supernatural to the minutely curious are welcome, even a skeptic would find much of interest to peruse!Stop in today, there is no shortage of positive vibes!
Theyre so great here. Lots of options, we always find something. π
Loved the energy of this place. Such a cool reuse of home for business purposes. Lots to see, so be sure to look high and low. Lighting on somethings is an issue, so be sure to use your cell phone light to light up some of the nooks and crannies where merchandise is placed. Some are in cabinets and some are in a shadowed shelf...so very easy to look at.Books, clothing, bags, rocks tumbled and raw, CDs, incense, statues, jewelry new and antique...so much more!Wish it was closer to where I live, so this would be a great place to put on my list on a shop trip!!ποΈThee was a reader there that day but I didnt have time to sit with and I understand he is a very good reader and is often there. (Next time on my list!)So if youve never been allow yourself a good 2hours to visit.And they do host drumming!!
I did a tarot reading with Mama, and she knew some incredibly personal issues that I was struggling with and gave me amazingly sound advice. Shes the real thing. It was spooky how accurate she was.
A large selection of items are available but the prices are insane on a lot of things to be honest. Ive been to every occult and metaphysical supply store for fifty miles around, and this place is way higher than most other places.
Iβve been to many crystal stores and none beat this one. The lady who is always in there, which I believe is the owner, always helps me out with questions, offers discounts, and tells me about upcoming events. She is really kind and they have unique and beautiful things in their shop. Iβve purchased necklaces and she saged them and made them into black cord necklaces free of charge . Will definitely be my go to (:
This place was absolutely adorable and the staff was very nice and well informed! They even saged every item I got before bagging it for me, and sent home a little extra sage with me as well. I got a pendant while there and they strung it for me as well - all free of charge. Visiting here for vacation, but definitely would love to come back next time I visit! Blessed be!
We stopped in over the 4th of July weekend on vacation and the owner was so sweet and the entire store was very friendly and inviting, filled with lots of great goodies!
This is probably my favorite spot in all of Ocala. β¨π The energy in this shop/home is phenomenal, and so are the energies of the staff and the owner!! Theyre incredibly inclusive, and always give a warm welcome. Love, love, love this place!! Great selection of crystals, books, statues/figures, incense & accessories and other lovely things. Staff and owner are very knowledgeable and helpful. I also love how involved they are with the community, offering yoga, tarot readings, astrological meetups, and just general warmth and love! Thank you guys for what you do. π
We were in Ocala visiting our daughter and stopped in here . Absolutely beautiful store, friendly very warm people . There are so many items to choose from . Our 4 yr old grandson was with us and they were super sweet to him as well . They offered the bubbles and chalk outside ( he is hyper ) I bought a piece of jewelry that cost 230.00 it has two different stones . Yes, it was very $$ . I chose the less $$ of two I had my eye on . Iβm honestly not sure itβs worth that much, on the other hand Iβm not sure it isnβt. Iβm not a stone/ crystal specialist. Theyβre trying to make some money while providing a much needed /appreciated service . We are from NY and this place felt a little like home π I wish we wouldβve had the opportunity to meet Jennifer .
Wonderful staff! Santina is very knowledgeable. Nobody is pushing you to buy. Beautiful inside! Wide variety of things!
Very helpful. Everyone is very friendly and always willing to ask if you need anything. I would go back to them every time.
I had my first visit to the store today. From walking in the energy was welcoming and positive. I was greeted with a smile and I walked around to see what items called to me. I chose several crystals, sage and a gift for my hubby. I got to meet 2 other ladies there and they were very nice and answered my questions. Great place will def be a return customer. :)
I could feel strong vibrational energy as i stepped inside. The employees were very nice as well.
My daughter stops in at least once a week and I finally came back for the first time last night since the fire years ago! (I didnβt know if I could get around in my wheelchair...lol) I was so excited to finally come back and get some new crystals!! Everyone was very helpful and friendly! They were very knowledgeable and answered any and all questions I had about a few stones I was drawn to but I had never heard of! The atmosphere was so calming and it smells amazing! I had absolutely no issues getting around the store and finding everything I was looking for and then some! I canβt wait to return this weekend!! I just learned you offer guided meditation!! Our family has been looking into meditation, so I will pick your brain next time we see you...my daughter on the other hand already returned this afternoon! I canβt keep her away! π
The staff at Soul Essentials are always positive and knowledgeable, and if youre the type of person that ends up in a place like this, theres something there for you. Every surface is packed with a treasure trove and it can be overwhelming at first but while cluttered, it is always clean. Everyone is respectful on the premises, even the black cat named Jupiter is tolerant of my daughter who can barely contain herself any time she sees him. I suggest you take your time here, rushing ruins the experience. Every time I go back, I notice something new. The prices are high because everything is legit. You get what you pay for. Dont rob yourself.
Always enjoy my visit here. Such warm and friendly people and calming atmosphere.
Cool place with cool people. Our daughter loved the assortment.
Loved the owner and personnel great atmosphere!
Absolutely lovely place, tons of beautiful items and large selection of things but the two employees working there were not very pleasant,friendly or helpful whatsoever.... in fact it seemed as if we were burdening them by looking around and taking our time. Would of have given all the way except those issue
Great vibe, great selection, but pricey...
Cool little shop. The used book section is nice.
Amazing energy! Love the entire place! But I think the clothes and tapestry were overpriced but it saved me money that way! Lol
Good energy New Age store, not much selection for pagan practitioners.
Lovely feeling beautiful everything will return
I enjoyed visiting this place. The gems and stones and the senses of all the incense and oils was exciting. Their merchandise is a little pricey oh, but once you read up on their stones and what they represent I wouldnt mind buying them I recommend everyone go check them out.
Great store loved everything except it was a little pricey on some things. Still amazing and definitely going again.
The reading was awesome my things is I gotta learn to be patience and wait on it to happen
My best friend and I love this store and the people who work and just hang out there. Wish we lived closer. Weβve purchased so many beautiful items in the store, not just for personal use, but for gifts as well. There truly is something for everyone there! The staff is knowledgeable and very helpful when we need specific help and guidance. Just hanging out on the lovely porch is so relaxing and sometimes healing. We highly recommend visiting Soul Essentials! This is definitely not your typical metaphysical store!
Such a beautiful store; the outside was very cute and the inside was even better. I never been to a metaphysical store with such a great aesthetic and vibe. The clothes there had a very cute bohemian style to them and the variety of crystals was to die for; also, the prices arenβt as bad as some reviews will make it seem, specially now a days itβs hard for local shops to compete against big online markets. All in all it was an amazing experience and I will be coming back soon βοΈοΈ
Beautiful but pricey.
Went to this place today and this place is really cleaned and stocked up with a bunch of different things from crystals necklaces rings and other nice stuff the owner is a top notch of kindness and helpful and really friendly and very sweet and helpful she alot of crystals that are amazing along with some other things her healing crystals are amazing as well as the herbs that she has in her store love this store and I would definitely recommend other people visiting her at this store. Thanks o the owner .ocala fla
Great eclectic assortment of products. People there are extremely friendly and helpful. Great hours many additional services.
I walked into this place yesterday to do some shopping as I have done in the past. I have been shopping here for a couple of months. I entered the store and was followed around by a woman that has GREY hair then she told a gentalman to come out of the back to follow me a round as well. Now I have never been so uncomfortable to the point that I was angry. I have money to shop at this store. Me and my sister have spent a great amount of money at this store I do not appreciate the way they treat me and this is not the first time this has happened. I wouldnt recommend for any of my acquaintances to come here because of the way I get treated every time I come here. Just so disappointed!!!
I love this place! The people are so nice and remember who I am everytime i come in. They are so knowledgeable about every piece, and theyre honest about the ones that theyre not confident in knowing. Pure set of people.
Wonderful place. However, for such a wide variety, the stones and especially clothes seem very overpriced (even with a discount). Some things could be found more cheap/reasonable (even rare items) in larger cities at bigger stores. If things are rare, they should include a why with factual backing information. It would also help sell the item. If things were marked lower, there would be a rapid increase in sales overall and less inventory (and no need for layaway) Which, Im sure would help with overhead and clutter of receipts/things. I also would like to add that the older woman that is the main cashier or employee is quite stone cold in the face and can come across as very rude. Makes me feel very uncomfortable each time I come there and is extremely pushy with sales. The vibrational waves are very off when shes there. There used to be very energetic and bubbly people that worked there but now it seems that its only her. The owner, Jen and others, are quite wonderful and delightful people, however! I will continue to shop here because I love supporting local shops. Maybe consider hiring young and vibrant people that have more knowledge on stones as well, though. Tired of hearing the same definitions for each stone that I later research, only to find that its not what the stones significance holds. I find that quite informative and misleading. Can come across as only selling for money. This can put stereotypes on stone/wicca store owners and turn people away, causing bad business. The things you sell should only be for enlightenment and knowledge, not money. One more thing, I find it quite cultural appropriated that this store uses white sage, which belongs to the Native Americans and Indigenous people. I find that a bit disrespectful as it does not belong to us. Wouldnt want to come across as disrespectful to cultures (especially in these times).Not only that, constant inhalation of sage is not very good for the respiratory system!! Meditation class and card readers are also wonderful! Very relaxing. I would watch out for overpricing in this field, in all aspects. Dont want people to have the wrong idea of what spirituality really means. Theres already a bad name for things of this nature. Wouldnt want to add to it.Love and light.
My friends and I use to be very frequent customers here. We always loved this store and enjoyed the environment until one day we were treated poorly by the lady who is usually in charge of the store, and this lady was never rude to us at all until then for some reason. My friends and I were sitting in the meditation room and the lady working asked us to leave the room since they were having an event soon and the the woman who was in charge of the event told her that there was still plenty of time until the event started and me and my friends can stay a bit longer, and like 10 minutes after that, even after the woman said we could stay, the lady in charge of the store kicked us out the room regardless, and usually when we come to the store and try out the pendulums, we buy them. But oddly enough, after we got kicked out the mediation room, the lady in charge got into a bad mood out of no where, and was rude to my friend saying that if we are gonna touch the pendulums and just βuseβ them just to put them back, then we should give them to her to cleanse them. Mind you, we have bought plenty of pendulums from this place, each one we βuseβ we end up buying, and we never were treated that way or talked to about the pendulums until that day. We were never treated poorly until then, and so we decided to stop coming to this store and visit similar stores. This store is great but we didnβt appreciate the rude service we were given.
I absolutely LOVE this shop! Its the best shop in Ocala! The atmosphere is so cool with all the crystals and goodies, it also smells amazing in there with the yummy incense. The owner is the sweetest person and will work with you on the prices of purchases. This shop is really the jewel of Ocala and a must stop by if you visit the areaβ€
Amazing store and amazing people!
Not a far drive owner is nice and I shop here when I can. However I feel the products are a bit on the high side compared to other places I frequent which is why I donβt shop here as often as Iβd like. She has great stuff just price is too high in my opinion.
Love this place! Always a calming vibe and amazing people, eager to help with any questions I have. Cant go in and not get something π₯°
Always such a delight stopping here. Every one is so friendly and helpful! Even the customers are so sweet β€
I love this place. The only issue I have is the prices are really high. I have seen many others talking about prices. Its the Crystals they are extremely over priced. You can find the same ones online at a much lower price or even other shops in Belleview or the other one in ocala. We like to support small businesses thats why we shop there but its getting to expensive. Loveβ₯οΈ and lightπ―
Overall pretty nice metaphysical store, surprising to find in Ocala. The only thing that took a star was the prices were insanely high! They had the highest prices of any store Iβve been to in the surrounding areas.
I absolutely love this shop the people here are amazing π
I really love the vibe of this store, as well as the products and the product quality. If you are looking for a good metaphysical shop, this is definitely one of the best in the area. The prices are not cheap, but the quality is definitely good.
My daughter loves this place and we go all the time. So much inventory. Nice people. Beautiful store.
Amazing place to go.
This place is miraculous in that the people are very inviting as well as warm and friendly. Happy Thanksgiving!
A delightful little shop! The prices are a little high, but I enjoy the atmosphere and peacefulness. Great for anyone who is into meditation like me!
Mama was amazing Reader
It was a very welcoming area, the fragrance and just the overall energy of the place was so warming and calming. The staff wasnt very welcoming and almost seemed annoyed with any questions about items in the store. Overall love this place but the staff definitely throws off the vibe.
Very nice. A wonderful variety of everything! Love the whole vibe of the shop! Will definitely be back.
Took my daughter and was a wonderful experience. Iβm clueless on such things but the lady behind the counter was extremely helpful and understanding. Great shop with many choices.
Such an amazing store !!! The owners and even people I met in the shop were so very helpful and have such a calm vibe. I can not wait to go back !! Thank you for the tarot help also... very connected to them already and love them !!!
Unique store full of beautiful crystals and minerals, jewelry, incense and moreFriendly kind staff. Everyone welcome.
Way outrageously expensive and negative vibes...Will not GO back.
Today would be my second time shopping here. The Owner and another customer did not make us, my partner and I, feel comfortable at all. The customer hovered over my partner and I as we were shopping and told the owner βIf you need me text!β. As we were leaving, the same customer was pulling out of the driveway giving us an evil look. After this experience, I certainly wonβt be returning. Iβm not sure if it is safe for people who are different.
I absolutely adore this store! Hands down, some of the best people Ive had the pleasure of meeting works there.
Great place to shop for items from all over the world.
Amazing vibes amazing people very knowledgeable
Love the people in here. They always lead me in the right direction and are accommodating to my daughter when she is there too. Love the painted rocks hidden out front. β€οΈ
Been going to soul essentials for years the owner Jen is great and the other staff are very friendly and knowledgeableGreat selection of stones, jewelry, incense, candles, etc. And they host all kinds of events from meditation to readings and reiki
This was the first metaphysical store i have had to go to. The girls are VERY nice and helpful. They made me feel comfortable, listened to what i had to say, and directed me to the right items i needed for my situation. Very understanding and super informative. Thank you for being so kind and helpful and i am sure ill be back in...oh ya! I was lucky enough to go on the 50% off crystals and jewelry sale. Im content you are.my go to metaphysical store. Thanks girls :)
Love this place, its like a second home. Always friendly and welcoming. Love Jen and her staff π
Wonderful experience, holistic healing knowledgeable and kind employees. Thanks for a great afternoon.
Cute on the outside but they were closed the day I went
Its a truley wonderful place! They staff and owner are very friendly and informative, they know their stuff! A wide variety of inventory and although it might be a little on the pricier side, their items are worth it and I like helping out the small businesses with my purchases. I also understand how profit works, over head cost and paying employees to help run a shop goes. In reference to the negative comments, the prices are not really that much higher for the quality you get. Their grab bags are the best!
Everything from clothing, books, tapestries, jewelry & stones and gems galore is here.Very unique gifts/ items. Jenn, the owner, is an amazing soul who always has activities for the community such as yoga, meditation & many more groups or events that are unique and rare in such a small town such as Ocala. From being on a budget to splurging and treating yourself, there are gifts and items ranging from $5 on. Come as you are& see the unique pieces soul essentials has to offer. You will not be disappointed :)
Great place, amazing environment and people. Cannot wait to go back.
Soul Essentials really is the best shop if you are looking for kindness, good customer service, and knowledge. Any time I go is always a wonderful experience.
I absolutely fell in love with this store the first time I went here. Ive always been into crystals and incense. I found this location by going on a paranormal tour which ended at going to Soul Essentials. Since the store is located in a home it feels extremely welcoming. People on the porch were playing music. I felt free being here. My soul was vibrating with light and happiness. As soon as you go inside there are beautiful crystals everywhere. The owner and everyone that steps into this store is so happy. Prices are reasonable for crystals. Bought quite a few from here. I recommend this place to everyone.
Home away from home πππ
Everytime I go to this place i feel at peace within myself and surroundings! The owner is absolutely amazing!! On top of everything priced reasonable, its the best place to get all of ur needs! Especially incense!! She has the best!!βPeaceβ‘Lightβ
This place was nothing like I expected it was in a older type home which was very cool like lots of merchandise they have essential oils they have Stones they have a very vast incense collections everything that you could possibly want from this establishment. Also if you have the time you can sit out on the porch and just relax the staff was very welcome in and friendly. This establishment does have restrooms if you need. You can also get readings psychic readings aura I was very happy with it and I will return
Amazing shop! If your into spirituality, healing, crystals, and learning this is the place to go.
Love this crystal shop!! So many things to look at and enjoy. Check out the facebook page and Instagram also.
The Big Pink House offers so much I cant begin to tell you about it, here. Must. See. A+
Everything in here is simply amazing! The vibes this place radiates are truly amazing. The meditation room is amazing. The selection of crystals and rocks are endless. All the books are GREAT reads. They even have costumes and some gnarly clothing! This is my go to place for sage and inscents. They are always stocked with all of your mind, body and souls needs.
Captivating stones everywhere. Certain pieces had authentic meaning and history. Therapeutics essence. Earthy fine clothing. Absolutely enjoyed the atmosphere.
I love this store. Everyone there radiates happiness and peace, love, and light. Jen is super helpful with any questions you have about her wares and other questions of the metaphysical type. Definitely recommend going to check out Soul Essentials if youre interested in this stuff.
Great Place & Great People
Great products.
An amazing place... If you have any interest in Crystals or fine stones, you must go and see what is here...
I think that soul essentials is the best place ever i love witch craft things and crystals
Ive been coming to this store since I was a child.Jen is one of the most beautiful souls I have ever encountered and when you walk into her store you instantly feel a blanket of love, peace, and serenity drape over you.Soul essentials stands by its name, and truly is just a little heaven on earth.
Love this place! Has tons of nice things. I always go there to get incense.
There r no words to express what this second home means to me....jenn has done more than a service for this community...this lady is a life saver with her love and healing atmosphere...if you are in need of a positive change...a healing beautiful item to help you find your way...a gigorgeous gift for yourself or others. SOUL ESSENTIALS IS THE PLACE!!! If you are in need of acceptance ...a warm connection ...pure genuine love...SOUL ESSENTIALS IS FOR U!! If you are in need of healing in the form of meditation...clarity through rreadings... or just a connection you will find it here!!!!
Opened for me when I needed something. I was able to share with them when I needed someone. Gifted me, and unknowingly honored my late jeweler. I will return. God Bless
Absolutely love this shop. The card readers are so talented! And the crystals are amazing quality. I very much enjoyed my experience :)
They have knowledgeable staff that knows all about the many crystals. Large medium or small crystals they have them all and much more. Great store!
