Angel Light Books

found some lovely gifts to give.

This is only based on the phone call and the woman that helped me was very nice. She said that they were open and that they do have what I was looking for. She even went right away to let me know the price ranges. So, this review is based on the professionalism, help and warmth I received. :)

So glad to have found this shop online when looking to buy some crystals locally. I’m new to crystal healing and very eager to learn more. The shop owner spent a lot of time answering my questions and helped my friend and I choose stones for our personal goals.
I fell in love with many of the pretty pendants and bought three!
Great selection of books, tarot decks, crystals, jewelry and an abundance of other lovely new age items! Will be back for sure! Can’t wait to take some of the classes!

Amazing selections of crystals, geodes, pyramids, jewelry & so many other goodies. So glad we chose to stop here!

Owner is super knowledgable. I’ve gotten some of the best books from here.

My favorite metaphysical shop in the Bay Area. The moment you walk in it feels like a good place to be. Their prices are incredibly fair, the staff is knowledgeable (I suspect that’s because it’s usually the owner working), and unlike many botanicas she never intrudes or assumes (frequent visitors to similar shops know what I mean). The books they stock are well chosen as are the decks they carry.
If you need some guidance on subject matter, I do think Fields Books is still the best. Even though the store is closed you can still call and speak with the owner, David, and order from them online. And if you are looking for botanica candles I recommend Phoenix in Oakland.
But novices and pros alike will appreciate this hidden gem.

This is my «go to» bookstore for any and all topics on New Age subjects. Valencia, the owner, is so helpful and knowledgeable, so I’m always delighted with her recommendations for reading. And, I cannot resist taking home a piece of jewelry, dream catcher or other treasure from the wonderful eclectic merchandise. The fun part is getting to choose an agate from her basket on the counter and have Valencia explain its meaning and purpose. It’s a JOY to stop in, browse and just enjoy the tranquil setting and welcoming atmosphere.

LOVE this store. The lady here is very nice and so helpful! She can answer any metaphysical questions you have. There’s an amazing selection of books, incense, candles, and of course stones and crystals. The energy in the store is nice and soothing. And sometimes the lady will have her dogs out in the store near closing time, they’re all so cute! I enjoy their company as I browse through the store.
The only reason I gave 4 stars is because There are a few stones I was looking for that she didn’t carry. Not really a reason to give 4 stars, but I feel 5 stars are for places with absolutely no negative feedback. I love this place and will continue going here for many years to come.

I absolutely love this book store! The energy is wonderful when you walk in and they have a vast assortment of metaphysical books and oracle cards; which I l appreciate. I am definitely going back!

Lots of interesting things, friendly service. Definitely will come back next time I’m in Cali

I was just aimlessly driving around Berkeley trying to find a new way to get over the East Bay Hills when I stumbled on this place, which is tucked away on MLK Jr on the edge of Berkeley/​North Oakland.
Talking to the owner, I realized I had been to her previous shop down in Redwood City decades ago on El Camino. Both are/​were metaphysical bookstores with an assortment of crystals, charms, books, dream catchers, incenses and other little finds geared to those who are open to all things metaphysical, Western or Eastern. They have a great collection of Tarot card decks, too.
It reminds me of East West Bookstore when it was in a little house in Menlo Park (decades ago), instead of the more commercial iteration of it on Castro street in Mountain View. Or a nice place that used to exist in the mouth of the Carmel Valley, now extinct.
It is very relaxed and comfortable, with a gentle, slow energy about it. They have space where they do regular mini-​fairs of psychic readings and other similar events in the back room, usually monthly on the weekends. I think at these little mini-​fairs you can get a little mini-​reading of 15 minutes for $ 20 from a handful of vendors who work out of here.
The owner, Valencia, specializes in crystals and teaches Feng Shui classes, too, in addition to running the store 7 days a week.
I got a couple of little items for myself, and had a great talk with Valencia and another regular patron, and the 2 gentle dogs that reside here, too.
We had a great talk about the Mah Jhong (Valencia is ABC) and related topics.
The prices are very reasonable. I spent about $ 30 and afterwards the owner put a basket of raw gemstones in front of me and said I could pick one out for free and she would interpret it for me. I closed my eyes and pulled out Azurite, a blue-​greenish speckled stone somewhat like a Robin’s egg. This was focused on the 6^th Chakra, which represents the Third Eye, and is good for Psychic energy and clairvoyance.
Was that luck, chance, coincidence or serendipity?
Don’t be surprised to find me in the back room some future weekend getting a reading, or maybe giving one.

I love this shop! Valencia (the owner) is so sweet and helpful! Great selection of crystals and stones. I’ve also taken a few classes in the shops tea room and enjoyed them very much! I recommend this shop to anyone interested in metaphysics or stone enthusiasts!

I love this place. The lady who runs it was friendly today to keep the shop open an extra 20 minutes cause I got there just before closing time and took forever to decide. She is polite and kind and seems to have a lot of knowledge. I liked that she gave a little crystal present and then explained what this stone means and what it´s for. Thanks. I´d be going here again when I need another crystal one day.

I wish I had the experience that all of the 5 star reviewers had! I found the store a bit dingy with a mish-​mash of competing odors… not very clean… Lots of crystals and oracle cards and a good mix of new age, wicca and pagan influences.

Magickal!!! This store called to me today out of the blue, must have been the archangels!!! ;)

It was my second visit to this store in the start of this week. On my first visit i had bought about 9 crystal stones, some oils and a 7 chakra pendant with the stones on a quartz crystal. The chinese lady at the store was very nice, polite and helpful. I asked a lot of layman questions and she satisfied me with answers with a nice attitude and attention to every single question. The store has a variety of metaphysical supplies whether it be oils, already dressed candles, books and crystals, rocks, stone pendants, almost everything i could think off. The store carries a nice collection of native indian stuff and t shirts as well.
The seven stone pendant broke last week (as it fell off the chain) and i brought that to the store on my second visit. It was the same chinese lady there and she gave me the full credit for that pendant with a calm and happy face. She helped me choose another 5 crystals and a nice travel safely pendant. Well in the end i want to recommend this store to anybody from a layman to an expert.

Your friendly neighborhood metaphysical bookstore.
I’ve been to this place a few times, mostly to attend some of their classes (there’s always one or two going on at any given weekend). I always end up lingering to peruse through the extensive collection of crystals and books on different spiritual traditions. I’ll remember to hide my credit card next time I visit as I haven’t been able to walk out yet without first making a purchase or two. Ok, I’m kidding — I don’t’ give giving Valencia (the owner) my business — she’s very warm and friendly and makes me just want to hang out at her bookstore before and after class.
About the classes themselves — I’ve been to Valencia’s «introduction to crystals» one and another class on «manifesting and miracles». Both are very reasonably priced and content-​wise I felt like I’ve gotten something positive from attending. Classes are held in her «Angel Tea Room» space which is nice and cozy, and classes have always been small enough that the experience feels personal.
If you have any interest in crystals or spirituality at all, drop by Valencia’s store and say hi!

I just discovered this place and I can’t seem to stay away. I have spent years ordering my stuff online, and I am so happy I can come here and find most everything I want. They have a wonderful selection of metaphysical and spiritual books, and the crystal/​stones array is amazing. The owner Valencia turned out to be very sweet, helpful and very knowledgeable.
Okay, can I talk about vibrations without sounding too woowoo and space cadette? Well, the vibrations there are pretty lovely. I linger and linger, leafing through this book, perusing this angel card, touching this crystal, making my purchase, and I usually come out feeling pretty happy and optimistic. Great place!

I am sooo glad that there’s a place like this I can go too. I love everything that Valencia sells at this store. I feel the positive vibes and her friendliness makes me feel so welcomed. I will definitely go back here again and I am taking my sister next time. We are looking forward to it.
I highly recommend this place and you won’t be disappointed.

A large, airy good feeling store filled with metaphysical, new age and self help books, incense, candles, healing stones, crystals, tarot cards, gifts. There is a small room off of the main store for free cookies and tea and an outside patio. Very nice and relaxing.
The owner is very welcoming and knowledgeable, we didn’t know our astrological moon sign (feminine), only our sun sign, so she asked our birth dates and told us a little about our signs and those of our boyfriends and compatibility. That was so awesome. I could have listened to her for hours on this stuff but she had other customers to help… ah well, will have to go back.
She is thinking of adding classes and massage, that would be cool.
It is a surprising on the location, at the end of the MLK, in the residential area but parking was a breeze because of it.
