Crystals, Candles & Cauldrons

Crystals, Candles & Cauldrons is a family-run metaphysical shop in Baltimore's Hampden neighbourhood. It was founded in 2007 by Shelley with her husband Mark and daughter Caitlin, started out in historic Dundalk, and moved in 2008 to the historic Hampden Hall building at West 36th Street and Roland Avenue. The entrance is at the rear of the building.

The shop stocks crystals and stones, candles, cauldrons and ritual tools, herbs, incense, tarot decks and books for pagan, Wiccan and other spiritual paths, and it has recently expanded its space.

Hours are Tuesday to Thursday noon to 7pm, Friday and Saturday noon to 8pm and Sunday noon to 6pm, closed Monday. Call (410) 467-4111 or email ccc.baltimore@gmail.com, and follow the shop on Facebook.

Hampden's 36th Street, known locally as The Avenue, is full of independent shops and restaurants, so the store is easy to fit into a day out. Ask staff for their pick of nearby places to eat.
