WELCOME
On Alberta street, among the bustling activity of art galleries, unique boutiques, cute bar patios and some of the best restaurants in town, you’ll come across an unassuming building between 16th & 17th you may not have noticed before. A glittering sign beckons you inside, so you take a chance and enter. Down a hall lined with vintage shops, you come upon a magical pocket emitting a soft rosy glow and faint music from another time. The twinkle of crystal towers and stained glass moons catch your eye, drawing you inside.
We are Love Spell and we’re so glad you’ve found us. We specialize in esoteric books with a focus on the ancient arts of astrology, tarot and witchcraft. We have dedicated an entire wall to displaying tarot and Oracle decks we have searched far and wide to make available to you. Many decks are independent, rare and/or limited edition. We also carry a wide array of used occult books, many of which are out of print.
If you are looking for thoughtful, personalized gifts, you’ll find them at Love Spell. Choose from our selection of house-made beeswax ritual candles, lush gilded journals, beautiful dried herb bundles and hand-crafted jewelry of gold and silver along with various perfect adornments for your altar. Have a browse through our vintage dress rack, or pick up a tarot themed tee.
Everything at Love Spell is selected with careful intention and a focus on quality and rarity. You’ll want to take your time here, for there is much to see. And if you want to linger a little longer, we always have an astrologer or tarot reader on hand to help answer your burning questions or guide you along a journey of self discovery.
Now that you’ve found us, you are in on one of Portland’s best kept secrets. Our little hidden jewel of magical treasures and ancient esoteric teachings awaits your next visit. Thank you for being part of our Love Spell.
Philosophy
Astrology is the study of the quality of time. Every moment has a unique quality which can be experienced in myriad ways, depending on perspective. Since the dawn of humanity, we have been watching the night sky while noting our lived experience here on earth. Over the millennia, patterns were observed, books were written and students were taught about the correlation between planetary movements and earthly events. Throughout the ages, immense astrological data and teachings have been amassed, so much so that no single person could ever learn it all in one lifetime. Not only that, but “new” ancient texts are being rediscovered and reinterpreted continuously to this day. We are living in a time where thousands of years of observation and learning combined with the rediscovery of ancient texts and techniques have brought us to a moment of astrological understanding like never before.
Astrology is a language based on the quality of time and the planets are its time keepers. As astrologers, we learn the language of astrology through the teachings of our ancestors, our elders, colleagues, and through our own observation of earthly events. Your natal chart is an image of the moment of the earthly event that is you. When an astrologer “reads” your natal chart, we are interpreting the ancient symbolic language of astrology and applying it to the quality of the moment that brought you into this earthly realm. Your chart is unique and multi faceted, just like you. Through a conversation with an astrologer, you can gain an understanding of your natal planetary placements and how they correlate to the unique qualities that make up who you are.
A glimpse into the pattern of the quality of time and how it applies to you can lead to deeper self understanding, radical self acceptance, increased empathy toward others and an appreciation for the time and space you occupy during this lifetime.
