The Turning Wheel

Hi All! For #marketfriday, I'll be showing you some photos of a shop called The Turning Wheel which is located in Baltimore County, Maryland.

The Turning Wheel is a New Age books and gifts store with a large variety of items.

I love seeing the large pieces of Amethyst that they have for sale there. The different shades are quite pretty!

My son was looking for a new incense box and, possibly, some new varieties of incense. One brand that I've always liked is Essential Essences.

He didn't find a new box or incense that he liked but we still looked around.

He did see a geode slice that he liked and bought that instead.

They have quite the assortment of crystals there and I always enjoy looking at them when I'm there.

If you like dragons and faerie figurines then you will find a lot of them at The Turning Wheel. You will even find a few trolls.

They also have a lot of herbs, dried flowers, oils and candles there as well. When I was making dream pillows and sachets I bought a few dried flowers here but I would buy most of my larger ingredients in online.

I wasn't able to get photos of some of the items that I would've liked to show you, such as the prisms, as there were a few other customers in the store. I try not to get photos that might show other customers in them. I did get this photo of just one of the displays of the different Tarot cards and such.

There are dream catchers hanging all over in the shop. There weren't as many as I've seen at other times but I'm sure they sold a lot over the holidays.

This is my last photo and one of my favorites. It shows a display of Witch's Balls art glass. They also have many other ones there and in solid colors as well. In case you are wondering, a Witch Ball or Spirit Ball is a glass hollow sphere with strands of glass inside. They were usually hung by windows to catch any negative Energies that may wander in. I have two that I bought years ago because I think they are pretty. Hollow glass balls were also used as fishing floats many years ago and some of the early fishing floats are worth a lot of money now. The ones for the garden are usually known as gazing balls. Whether one believes in the folklore behind them or not, I still think they're pretty and always like to admire them when I see them in the stores. 💖
