Alexandria II Bookstore

Came here after yoga and got a cute ring, along with a few blue opals for meditation, and a cinnabar, which I heard is a stone for manifestation as well as attracting abundance.
My favorite was buying books on love, there is this book that was the only one of it’s kind called A Course on Love, which was a combination of three books in one. Very thick and kind of pricey, but I can tell it will be worth it’s cost. I got a few other books and this really cool over than 10 years book on Omnipotent… only $ 2, but still…
I was told the jewelry sells fast these days and apparently so! This chandelier citrine earrings I had my eyes on were no longer there. I’m coming back for these other earrings though, super stunning… just expensive.
I did get work in my industry so things have been improving, I got a job offer somewhere new, and it’s possible I may return to my old job under better work conditions. Even if not, I am in the works of manifesting a better opportunity which I am excited about. I’m also gaining new confidence and courage to pursue things that I never did before. I think it’s because I can feel there really is new beginnings coming my way.

Seriously I am coming back again next week. One of the best places I’ve been to for crystals!

Wow! Best customer service I’ve seen in a store of this kind yet! I walked in and was immediately greeted. I’m a seasoned metaphysical shopper, so I was happy to just go for what I came for and have a look around. It was very nice to be greeted and then left alone knowing I had help if I needed it. Meanwhile, other shoppers had questions and the sales staff answered so patiently and truthfully! Great to see. They have a decent rock selection, specializing in polished and jewelry stones I’d say. Where they really shine, is the books! SO MANY BOOKS! On any topic you can think of. Amazing! I’ll be back to dive deeper into all they have to offer.

Found this gem in Pasadena and fell in luv with it with the wife, coz she wanted to go to a psychic shop and we end up here. I bought a Moldavite stone coz for some reason I was just so drawn to it. My wife bought the Angel Quartz Crystal on the other hand. We luv the overall atmosphere and the people that works there. They are also very knowledgeable of the stuff they sell, and especially the info they gave me about the Moldavite stone that I bought.

Cool store. The staff are very friendly and helpful. Great prices. A large selection of items. Items that are hard to find, this store has it all.

Amazing bookstore and a selection of crystals. It’s only been 3 days and I can’t wait to go back.
The staff were both super helpful and patient. I was an hour early for meeting friends for dinner and was happily perusing the store in the meantime. Taking my sweet time with the perfect amount of freedom and comfort.
They didn’t have an item I wanted and the gentlemen asked if I wanted to receive a phone call when they receive a shipment. Uh, to say I’m blown away by their thorough customer service would be an understatement. And I may or may not know a thing a two about «customer service» especially since I use to work for a retailer with the famous tire return policy story.
Be prepared to truly leave the store feeling good. I went to a similar shop like this in the valley and I had the opposite feeling. Can’t explain why exactly but if you are in to these type of places, no explanation is necessary beside basing it on energy and vibrations. ;)
Can’t wait to go back!!! Like seriously this week!

I’ve been reading a lot of metaphysical type books lately and wanted to do more research by visiting a store that sells these type of items, such as crystals and what not. I thought the store was quaint, staff was friendly, and they had a lot of things you probably can’t find at a typical bookstores or anywhere else. If I decide to keep pursuing this area, I’ll be sure to drop by again.

Would just like to take a moment and say thank you to Liz for ordering a crystal for me. I admired a crystal she was wearing so much I asked her if she could find another one just like it for me.
As soon as it arrived, she called me, offered to hold it for me for a week and when I went in to retrieve it, she was very nice.
I always get great service from Alexandria II. Awesome and positive store.

This review is for the front desk who waited until after I had driven there from central LA during peak rush hour, then haggled for parking to get there on time for an appointment reserved in advance by Brenda for Inana, only to tell me, once I had arrived, that there was a «mix up in scheduling,» and «would I come back tomorrow?» Why would a paying customer wish to rebook after an experience like that?

This place has a very nice selection of jewelry, stones, incense, and books. I wish they had a larger variety of candles and that their readings weren’t so crazy expensive; 15 minutes for $ 35-​yikes.
Other than that the store and staff are great. I will definitely come back.

So happy about the stones I purchased… I def needed them! I purchased a cute little Rose Quartz Pendant, it was only $ 12 and $ 14 for the chain, great steal. The store itself is quite nice, smells great & is calming as soon as you walk in. It was a bit hard for me to find, since I’m not familiar with the area, but I called in and the staff was nice enough to guide me to them!

I want to make this clear, I’m only giving this place a 5 Star rating because of James Clancy, my favorite psychic reader in Pasadena. I have had about 2 other readings in that store with 2 other readers I will not mention by name, cause they’re not worth it, truly, it was a waste of my time and money. They were amateurs at best, and really should just stick to phone readings cause in person they were embarrassing. I’m not even sure one of them knew the difference between the major and minor arcana. Not to mention one of them was rude as heck (will NOT mention his name, but he is known far and wide, across the land, for his rudeness and just downright negative energy, you can feel it a mile away when he’s in the store). Now, at the opposite spectrum, we have Jim, whom I simply LOVE!!! He’s the real deal, I think wasted in a sea of mediocre psychics at that store, but oh well, he’s gotta make a living, so I just hope they pay him well enough. He’s not only a spiritual person, but a very good clairvoyant and medium, he gives EXCELLENT practical advice.
He’s straightforward, but not negative, even if the things he tells you are not what you want to hear, he is a gentle soul and an excellent communicator, he will not let you walk away feeling like crap. Now, THAT’S because he actually knows what he’s doing, unlike the rest of that mooching ‘mediums’ in that place. A reading with Jim is like a breath of fresh air, you walk away feeling you got your money’s worth AND MORE. He has a pure spirit, I think he’s one of the most spiritual psychics I’ve ever met.
The rest of the store: good employees though they need to learn some more about what they’re selling, one of them was stumbling along trying to describe stone proprieties to a customer, when they’re RIGHT THERE on labels in front of them. The stones are fairly priced, the jewelry is overpriced, the candles and sage and all other things are a good deal. Oh, and the books and oracle/​tarot cards they carry, they are very, VERY WELL stocked and you’ll find an amazing variety you cannot find anywhere else. All in all I’ll say this: the owner is doing a good job with the merchandise and stocking the store, he just needs to hire friendlier, more well read and informed employees who look like they care about their jobs, and you know… hire some psychics who can actually do a proper reading, like Jim. So far he’s the only psychic I’ve met in that place. Good luck!

I’ve known about this place for YEARS but have never gone in. Finally a place within driving distance that sells crystals! They have a huge selection of books on all sorts of topics – spirituality, cooking, crystal healing, meditation, yoga, conspiracy, you name it. I love their selection of crystals. They have larger, natural crystals in cases organized by type with information on their healing properties, and a section of smaller tumbled crystals and minerals if you’re looking for something more affordable. The certainly hike up the prices on some crystals but a lot of other things there are really inexpensive, it all depends on what you’re looking for. Great prices on decorations for your house, jewelry, and books. They also have higher end things like larger, higher quality crystals or even singing bowls for cleansing and meditation! This is my new favourite metaphysical shop since it’s close by.
One star is knocked off because the staff doesn’t seem very knowledgeable about the things they carry and their properties. They were all very friendly though. Great energy in this store.

Since moving back to Los Angeles Alexandria II has been my favorite metaphysical shop and bookstore.
A tip? There is parking in the back. Otherwise, there is a lot a block over that is free for 90 minutes.
Alexandria II is great! This shop has often been my home away from home since I got back. I adore their crystal selection, actually, many of my crystals came from their store. I also love their jewelry selection. Their prices vary, so there is something for everybody. In addition to crystals they also have books, décor, Tarot and oracle decks, and even music.
The staff and readers at Alexandria are all top notch. My favorite is Cory. He has given me some great readings that were not only interesting and applied to our lives now (past life reading for a couple), but also really helped and were spot on. He’s blunt, upfront, to the point, and personally, I appreciate it, and most importantly his predictions came true. I’ve had other great readings there from several others. I am a reader and energy healer myself, and I highly recommend the psychics at Alexandria.

This is update to my 2012 review since I’ve been going there for over 2 – 3 years now.
3 stars to the staff: I notice that workers are not really knowledge, and when you ask, they aren’t willing to go the extra mile for you. I notice that I keep seeing help wanted signs for clerks post more often then none. I also notice that most metaphysical stores that I’ve been to, have that issue with their staff if the owners are not working the floor. I’m not going to ding the overall Unilocal ratings for that.
4 stars to the store: I pop into this store about once every or every other month, when I go for my doctor visits. Really do like it and the stuff they carry. The store itself has great clean energy. I love the stones, jewelry, and nick knacks they sell there.
If you are willing to drive, my go to shop now is the Green Man Store in North Hollywood. The people who work that really do know their stuff, practice what they preach, and they have very reasonable price classes to learn about it also.
Payment: Card or Cash
Parking: They have a few spots in back of the store. There is plenty of free street parking in the back streets of the store or paid in the front.
Service: Ok. They aren’t warmest of people but I notice that it’s typical for these types of stores. I’ve seen some more «colorful» people they had to deal with and I can see why they are more guarded.
Overall: Great little store. Glad it’s there and I do buy stuff from them. However, I usually will drive out of my way to go to the Greenman Store when I want something.

Came here just for a grounding pendant that came highly recommended from a friend and co worker.
Not only did I find the pendant I had been searching for, the amount of amazing things in this bookstore can keep you here for hours!
Great items and great customer service makes for an amazing book store (that sells so much more then just books)

Had a great selections of books, candles, recipe ingredients– if you’re looking for your zen store this is the place to go. Right on lake. Easy parking. Nice staff. Oh, also lots of great rocks, jewelry and tarot cards!

This is without a doubt one of the best occult bookstores I’ve ever been to. The free parking in the back is one awesome feature. But I appreciate little things like the general openness of the store. You can look around at your leisure when you’re the only one in there and not feel like someone is on top of you watching your every move. And the books are laid out in a manner that you’re not on top of everyone else who is looking in the same area.
I really like how they have the books in sections based on broad topics (Astrology, Tarot, Shamanism). And its apparent they make a serious effort to keep it organized. They also have an very vast selection of incense, candles, crystals and such. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a better selection of Egyptian statues either.
From my experience, their prices are very realistic and even on the low side. I’m usually pretty surprised when I hear the total for buying 3 – 4 books at a time.
If I had known this place existed before I moved to LA, I probably would have figured out a way to make this a regular stop on my visits.

Fascinating store, like a mini-​museum with the different sections clearly laid out, from European to Egyptian! You can find everything and anything under then sun in the book section books on ghosts, tarot/​palm/​crystal reading, homesteading and fiction like Dan Brown’s Angels and Demons.
Psychic services are offered here, but I would check out Alexandria II’s website first to look who is around that would match your needs and what times they are available before visiting.
Some non-​committal inexpensive items to buy as a souvenir from your trip to Alexandria II are scented candles, incense and semi-​precious gem stones. What I liked about this store is that the boxes where gem stones are stored are descriptions of the spiritual benefits/​definition, great for meaningful gift giving! I recommend checking out some of the gem bracelets and necklaces at the counter. I got a nicely colored bracelet for $ 4, cheap considering individual stones start around $ 1.
Sure some might call this store «woo-​woo» but put aside the cynicism and just look around you might find some meditation music to help you relax a bit. ;)

I was hoping there was a place like this near me, since leaving the South Bay!
I am a Medium, so this was just my kind of place for INCENSE, CANDLES, CRYSTALS, BOOKS, SAGE, everything you need for you metaphysical, hippie, New Age’y self!
These are the kinds of stores I have to go in when they first open and stay until they are flipping the «OPEN» sound around! It takes THAT long to peruse everything! SO much to see and learn! And quite honestly the energy in there is so comforting, it is HARD to leave!
I came away with about $ 88 worth of incense, crystals, one book and other goodies! I will be back for sure!
