Crystals
One of the best reasons to visit the bookshop in person is to see our crystal and mineral collections.
We have given special attention over the last few years to establishing a wide selection of choice
specimens at very reasonable prices. Whether you have a specific stone in mind or just want to spend
a while searching for the one that “calls,” you are sure to be surprised and delighted with what you
find.
Yoga & meditation supplies
More than ever, people are turning to yoga and meditation to discipline the body and quiet the mind.
At Quest, we offer a wide variety of books and instructional videos as well as the props and accessories
to introduce the novice or supplement the master.
Tapas Mats
Yoga and pilates often demand positions that can not easily be held over slippery floors or soft
carpeting. A benefit to working with sticky mats is that they allow you to focus on holding your pose
properly instead of worrying about your hands and feet sliding out of place. We have regular, extra
long, and extra thick mats available as well as matching carrying totes available for whatever your needs
may be.
Cushions
It is difficult to sit in the sorts of static postures zazen requires for prolonged periods without
proper support. Our cushion selection includes Cosmic Cushions, innovative crescent shaped cushions
specifically designed to assist in supporting the lotus position, as well as more traditional zafus and
zabutons.
Jewelry
Our most crucial temple is the one we bring with us every place we go. At Quest we have a wide array
of pendants, rings, earrings, and bracelets in a rainbow of minerals and gemstones to help you adorn
yourself for work and play.
Body Care
Our small but practical selection of body care products provides you with basic alternatives to the
sometimes questionable politics (and chemistry) of mainstream corporate suppliers. None of the soaps we
carry contain animal byproducts; none of the lines we carry practice testing on animals. If you are
beginning to explore aromatherapy, we have books, charts, dream pillows and essential oils from Tiferet
and Elizabeth Van Buren to help you along. We also carry Colour Energy products for the color therapy
enthusiast. Several other products are available to us through our suppliers; always feel free to ask if
there is something you do not see.
Sun Dog Patchouli Hemp Soap
Did you know that hemp seed oil is possibly one of the world’s biggest skincare secrets? Containing the
one of the best naturally found balances of EPAs (essential fatty acids), external application of hemp
softens and moisturizes skin, as well as possibly adding in the reduction of skin conditions like psoriasis
and eczema. It smells good, too! 10% of the proceeds from Sun Dog products are donated Native American
Cultural Preservation.
Ritual Suppplies
Certain traditions in spiritual practice are greatly aided by the use of physical tools, particularly
in those that utilize divination and spell working. At Quest we have a wide selection of tarot decks,
scrying mirrors, pendulums, candles and other divination tools as well as sacred devotional items for
you altar space.
Sacred Sage Smokeless Mist
from Medicine Flower
Smudging with sage is a powerful means of purifying the energy of a living space. Traditionally,
smudging is done by burning the sacred herb in a clay pot or abalone shell and fanning the smoke with a
feather through the area. Unfortunately, considerations like fire codes and allergies can make it difficult
to smudge the areas that need smudging most. Medicine Flower created this smokeless alternative with
that in mind. A subtle blend of white sage, juniper, cedar and other essential oils have been combined
in a cobalt glass bottle topped by an easy to use mister. Medicine Flower also provides us with their
wonderful Sacred Sage lotion, a hand and body lotion blended with sage, juniper berry, cedar and other
essential oils.
The Star That Never Walks Around Tarot Deck and Book
“When the great buffalo herds roamed the earth, the tribes of the Great Plains followed them, guided
by the North Star—The Star That Never Walks Around.” Stella Bennett, the author and artist of this
hand-drawn tarot deck, presented in the circle-card format, has studied the tarot for more than 50 years.
This deck adapts the tarot into the Native American totem tradition. Whether you are new to the tarot
or an experienced reader looking to expand, this deck is worth looking over.
Creature Comforts
Scarves, book totes, teacups, t-shirts: of course we also have a number of perfect gift items that
don’t neatly fit into any of these categories. Our stock is always changing, new items are introduced
as old items sell out—you’ll never come in to the same bookshop twice.
Teacup Diffusers
Since we started carrying them last summer, these Korean teacup diffusers have become one of our most
popular items. The ingenious design provides a removable clay strainer in which to put loose tea so
hot water is poured directly through it into the cup. Once the tea is ready, the strainer can be neatly
set aside in the accompanying teacup lid. Available with and without handles in a wide variety of
shapes and designs, these cups fit perfectly into the hand.
Keltic Designs T-shirts
A wide array of colors, designs, and sizes will reward your exploration of our collection of t-shirts
from Keltic Designs. Beautiful knotwork printed in rich colors on high-quality cotton jersey tees.
Our selection is not just limited to what we have in the store; be sure to ask if there is a size or
color you’d prefer a design on and we will do our best to order it for you.
