Telling you that we carry "incense, crystals, statuary, candles, jewelry, and essential oils" doesn't even begin to cover the vast variety of items available at Inner Journey! There are far too many products within the walls of IJ to list on one page.
If you visit our store in beautiful downtown Los Gatos, California, here's a brief overview of what you're likely to find...
Crystals
Inner Journey is probably best known within the Metaphysical community for our truly amazing collection of crystals, all hand-picked by our expert staff. Our crystals range from tiny rough peridot to museum-quality Crystal Cathedrals and everything in between. (Even the employees of the local lapidary come to us for their energetic stones!)
We have a few select stone dealers who call on Inner Journey regularly during the year - they come to us because we accept only the best - and save their finest stones for Inner Journey!
Essential Oils
We're proud to carry the entire line of Oshadhi essential oils, including over 10 different types of lavender! In addition to their "neat" (plain, or single-plant) oils, we carry Oshadhi's Synergistic blends, carrier oils, massage oils, facial oils, and Eau de Toilette, and Eau de Perfume products. We enjoy a special relationship with the wonderful folks at Oshadhi, so that we can get any product in their line within just a few days.
You must experience essential oils for yourself and your well being! Once you start with essential oil products, you'll never go back to man-made "perfumes" again!
Incense
In case you didn't know, incense is available in more than just stick or cone form! You can burn - over charcoal tablets - incense resins (usually derived from tree sap), loose herbs, powdered incense, and special blends of herbs and resins. We even carry Tibetan rope incense, usually burned in special burners into which you coil the rope.
Come on in and discover a whole new world of incense! (And choose from literally hundreds of incense burners to burn your new offerings.)
Candles
Ritual candles... Tarot candles... Astrological candles... Goddess Candles... Peace Candles... Blessing Candles...
(We think you get the idea of how many hundreds of candles we carry at Inner Journey!)
All our candles are the highest quality, all made with true essential (not perfume) oils, and all are a delight to own, burn, and give as gifts. We also carry many many candle accessories: myriad holders and chimney glasses, snuffers, beautiful pewter and aluminium plates. There's not a lot we don't carry when it comes to candles!
Statuary
No matter your spiritual practice, we have deity statues you'd be proud to place upon your altar. Ganesh, White Tara, Shiva, Quan Yin, Freya, The Horned One, Buddha; the list goes on and on. Our statues range from tiny brass Ganesh to 2-foot-tall Quan Yin made of Jade, and everything in-between!
One-of-a-Kind Items
About once every two years, Inner Journey's owners go travelling and bring back many beautiful items for our Inner Journey customers. In May of 2001, our intrepid travelers returned from a trip to Tibet, Nepal, Singapore, India, and Bali, and brought back many beautiful items; most sold nowhere else in the U.S.
Featured items include a Tibetan horn, special blessing incense from the Sere monastery, hand-beaded Sumatran Wedding Boxes (new brides use them to carry dowry jewels to their new homes), Tibetan protection pieces, prayer packets, Indian silk shawls, Nepalese Pashmina shawls and scarves, wonderful silver-and-gemstone jewelry from Bali, boxes of carved sandalwood, and 7-metal singing bowls. Every item was hand-selected and in every possible instance bought directly from nunneries and monasteries in Tibet and Nepal (which ensures the money goes directly to the nuns and monks, rather than the "ruling" government).
