Creative Energy

I drive from Orlando to get my crystals from these guys… love the service and the energies here. Thanks guys for just being you!

Creative Energy is an adorable, little Pagan store tucked right into Historic Melbourne. It’s just a bit down from Meg O’Malley’s, the Irish Pub, and across the street from the British Store (which was closed on the day that I was exploring). Anyways, I felt completely at ease upon walking in here. We, here in Jax, have been spoiled by how spacious Earth Gifts is in both of its locations. Creative Energy, ironically, is really creative about space (given that they have much less), but also with display of their wares. I bought a set of energy candles that I plan to use here in the near future.
I do have a piece of negative feedback that I hope they can address with future customers. As I was browsing and looking, I always felt an employee hovering nearby. I understand the need to watch over customers and make sure nothing gets pilfered, but this was almost the entire time that I was in the store. Given the layout, it does get crowded fairly easily and luckily, I’m not the type to get claustrophobic. However, it did make me feel uncomfortable. I was also carrying around the few small items that I planned to buy and one of the employees came up and said «I’ll just put these behind the counter.» In all honesty, I was still hemming and hawing about whether I wanted to purchase them. I don’t like feeling that I’m backed into a corner on a purchase, and this is what that felt like. I hope better tactics can be used to thwart people who want to steal because this really didn’t feel all that tactful.
In any case, though, I really liked the vibe of the store (outside of the above). There was a psychic doing readings that day and I expressed interest in getting a reading. Apparently, she was booked for the entire day and most of the psychics/​tarot readers are booked up quickly from what I was told. Seems like it needs to be a first come, first serve basis. I was there and ready to give money for a reading and was turned away. However, if that’s what works for the store and folks are keeping their appointments, I can’t really judge.
In closing, I was glad to learn of how large that the Pagan Community happens to be around Melbourne and I will keep Creative Energy in mind for further visits down the road. Hopefully, in concert with some of the local Pagan Community’s events.

Jewels, crystals, gems, and trinkets. There’s also a nice selection of books. I have found that they can be pretty pricey depending on the item — I’ve had better luck ordering large crystals and spheres, necklaces even, from California (do a bit of looking — if you aren’t seeking ‘instant gratification’, chances are you can find better prices)
One thing I will note is that even as a repeat customer, I am constantly ‘hovered’ over — to the point where I feel rushed to leave, un-​welcomed even… if they’re having issues with theft, I feel there is a better way… really ruins the experience with someone constantly at your back.
Other than a few things mentioned, I really like this place, and I make a point to stop by every time I’m downtown.

Lovely shop with lovely staff. Nice diversity of product and plenty of interesting items to sort through. Be forewarned that the place is small and packed with merchandise, so prepare accordingly if you’re into giant purses or travel with a stroller, etc. It’s also a bit pricey, but it’s a niche store, so that’s to be expected to some extent. Overall, a pleasant experience!

Very cool shop. Prices are median. More than some places, less than allot of stores I’ve been in. Very personable staff. Great selection of books in the back and an amazing sitting area. Biggest sounding bowls I’ve ever seen. Great job guys! Will stop in whenever I am up there and have time. Blessings.

Whom ever said this place is uninviting or the staff is rude and crude, your obviously closed minded. This store is amazing!!! The staff and owner are so nice and helpful. They take the time to help you and answer any question you have. They go beyond making sure you have the right materials you are in need for. Make sure you take your time and look at everything there is so many things in there. Best store by far!!!

One of my favorite places in downtown Melbourne! Whenever we hit up the shops, we make sure to stop here. I love the atmosphere and friendly service. The jewelry is all very unique and comes in a wide price range and there are tons of great trinkets if you’re looking for something small and fun.

I have to say that I did not expect what I encountered today. My son and I decided to take a stroll around Downtown Melbourne and saw Creative Energy. It looked inviting but that immediately went out the door when I was told «Sorry, we’re really busy today. If someone were to come in with a wheelchair, they wouldn’t be able to.» Let me take a moment to clarify that my son was in a stroller (fairly large one) but before I could even try to come up with my own solution I was basically told to leave.
Now mind you, once I entered the store (for all of 2 seconds LITERALLY) I was completely aware that I wouldn’t be able to navigate said stroller with ease due to the size of the establishment. I offered to park the stroller outside but I was told «Sorry» and given a blank could you please leave now stare. Sorry?
I was completely floored not to mention hurt. I have never felt so enraged in my life. I have to feel that I just wasn’t welcomed. For a place called Creative Energy I was left with nothing but bad vibes. Customer service is key. I will NEVER go back to this store.

We’ve enjoyed this shop and made purchases there over the years, but won’t be back. My wife and I had just left Meehans art supply. My wife is an artist and had purchased paint and a book, which was in a Meehan’s bag. As we entered Creative Energy a young woman confronted my wife and asked to hold her bag. My wife informed her that we were not there to steal and we then turned and left. Even if the store has experienced theft, this is a poor way to deal with it. We do not like the implication that we are thieves as neither of us are. I’m not accustomed to such treatment.

Melbourne has lots of little boutiques and shops, but Creative Energy is a real jewel surrounded by mainstream shops.
Before you even walk in you are greeted by standout purple paint. Wow that’s an attention grabber. Incense burns as you walk in the store, while beads and crystals dangle around you. They have a fairly large amount of books that range from spiritual guidance to do it yourself palm readings. One of my favorite little hide aways is in the back with a large sit down ottoman near the Buddha boards.
They have: Belly Dancer Gear, Incense, Candles, Jewelry, Henna Kits, Scarves, Different religious and spiritual items, and much more.
Creative Energy is one of my favorite stops in Florida because from the minute you walk in the door you are greeted by calm vibes and your attention is always held.

Great little gem in downtown Melbourne. I mainly come here to stock up on my incense, but they also offer many items for «alternative» spiritual people. New age items including jewelry, music, books, even clothes. Great place to find meditation items. The shopkeeper is always nice and is quick to answer any questions you may have.
