Every inch of this store is amazing! The staff are always so helpful as happy. They have incredible workshops, events, talks, etc. The prices are very reasonable and the selection of everything from clothing to crystals to tarot cards to art and books is overwhelming at times. You could easily spend 2 hours here and not even notice.

  • Michelle Rode

So many fun books and fun items to bring uniqueness and originality to your home or give as thoughtful gifts to your loved ones. The staff was very sweet, friendly, and knowledgeable about their books and where to find specific subjects and authors. I also love that they have so many local authors books available. Very cool place!

  • Kristin Marina

One of my favorite places to window shop when I'm having a bad day. I instantly feel lighter as I walk in the door. They have a comprehensive collection of woo-woo self-help books (my favorite genre), complimentary tea (and movies), a delightful staff, and fabulous events with local and visiting authors and healers.

  • A Brady

Great spot to find what you need to support your spirituality or general well mindedness. Books, jewelry, crystals, did I say books yet? LOTs of great books! Yoga mats and even a Buddha room. Fun just to wander the isles and get lost on a rainy Saturday. Several coffee shops close by to retire with your new finds!

  • Claudia Fuentes

This store has a great selection of books. They have a great selection of DVD's and books to tend to your soul! Whatever you believe, they have the book to cover it. They also have a section for teas, candles, lotions and clothing. It's a cool place just to look around. The staff is really friendly and helpful.

  • Aurora

Beautiful shop very nice customer service. So many products to choose from. I really love their calendars that actually show information depending if it's a witch calendar or zodiac. Their children section is so awesome I was very impressed because you don't ever see that. Thank you for the great experience:)

  • Teresa James

I love this place. It is a wonderful place to explore all things spiritual, religious & mysterious. The atmosphere upon entering is calming and relaxed. Just the air itself feels wonderful. They have a lot of books, tools and art pieces. A veritable candy store for the awoken.

  • Vivian C

Amazing bookstore!! You can find everything you ever wish for here at reasonable prices and great selections. I can’t believe my eyes when I see their tarot collections. The most massive one I have ever seen! If you are ever in Portland, this place is definitely worth a trip!

  • Jamie Lee Silver

If you are looking for a fascinating, well-organized and friendly book/gift store this may be your new favorite spot! I love this place! I bought a beautiful warm shawl, angel cards and positive bumper stickers. I'm visiting from Phoenix and this was my first stop!

  • Ms.Wanda White

Very nice store with quite the variety of all that is metaphysical. Went with my daughter and bought her a new tarot deck and some crystals. I could of spent hours at this store because there is so much to look at! Prices are comparable to Celestial Awenings.

  • Abbie Lu

I am in love. Fairytale bookshop dreams do come true. I love everything about it. So warm and enchanting. The atmosphere is beautiful and the selection is good. A new favorite I imagine. Can't wait to return again and again. ‍♀️ …

  • Candle Jones

A fun little book store that, along with a large variety of books, also sells many fun niche toys and decor. The store layout is a bit abnormal, but has a good flow to it so it is fairly easy to follow. They did a great job at accessibility

  • S. P.

I usually LOVE coming to this store, but I unfortunately won't be returning after spending $200 in the last 3 visits. I was followed by an older woman and treated like a cr!minal when I purchased $80 the last time I was there, she kept the

  • Casidi C

Very cool store. Lots of interesting things. We showed up about 30 minutes before close and of course we're being respectful of the time and weren't planning on staying after. As I was looking around, I noticed a lot of things I would have

  • Brian Tropp

We purchased a Woodstock earth windchime (pictured in our backyard) back in 2016 and what an amazing windchime. This store is amazing, it’s got great energy and if your looking for great finds you’ve found it! Candles, books, crystals etc.

  • Z. Brady Brewer-Williamson

Having recently moved back to Portland from San Francisco, I knew there would be significantly less pagan stores with stones and gems. I found two or three places on Google Maps and this one had the best reviews so I went to check it out.

  • Treniece Renea

Expansive collection of books, stones, sound bowls, herbs, etc. Friendly staff. Daily activities like energy clearing, tarot reading, and more offered at a discounted price. The only downfall I could find was that their section on African

  • Ashley Trujillo

I was in with my sister this past Saturday (10/28/23) and was followed the WHOLE entire time. The weather was cold out, like 30° (give or take) so I had a big puffy coat on and was profiled and followed the ENTIRE time by this older white

  • Prashama Sandy B

I love just walking into New Ren. It has such a loving vibration and miracles happen there. Read on for one of my miracles. I have never known how to play singing bowls and a staff member showed me. Wow! They are amazing. I am hooked! My

  • Krysteen Lomonaco

Just happened upon this bookstore which has so much more than books. Beautiful crystals, candles, everything you would need spiritually. And the staff was extremely knowledgeable about anything we were looking for. So willing to help you

I can’t say enough about this wonderful store. When I need to find a particular stone or inspiring music, I seek out the store. It has so many wonderful items for improving your health, physically, mentally, and emotionally. I even found

  • Tony H

New Renaissance bookshop is a new age store in an old Victorian style house. When I was walking through the front door, I thought the store was gonna be pretty small or something like that, but it was huge. There are tons of cool little

I come every so often, love this store. The last experience I had was awful. I went in looking around and an older lady who worked there followed me around the whole time and was looking over my shoulder and constantly staring at me and

  • Erin Bray

Love this place. Came down just to stop at this store recently. Asked if I could leave my bags behind the counter, and the young woman said sure. When my friend asked if she could do the same, she said no to her. We came there to get

  • Angelyka Cava

I've been gaining interest in metaphysical imagery, objects, and books lately, so of course I had to check out this store in Portland, known for its material. It has a large selection of books, and I was impressed by the different

  • Court Klaasmeyer

I adore this place. Everything feels genuine, where as I find some metaphysical stores to seem like a cash grab. The employees are polite and helpful. They carry anything and everything you could possibly need. 100% recommend.

  • Amanda Glick

As a person who has been vending spiritual tools for years I'd have to say the collection of goodies here was good but WAY overpriced. I saw several of the exact same items I sold for a fraction of the price they are asking.

  • Sharon Zander

Each time I am in this store, I find something interesting, charming, beautiful and stuff I'm sure I need. I get gifts for friends and family, because they are unusual and always appreciated. Love, love, love this place

I love that Portland has so many independent bookstores, this one being in my top for sure. I can go a few months without swinging by and seeing what to read next.

New Age bookstore with all of the required accoutrements. There are some pretty things here. I came for incense, and found a nice selection of quality products.
