Who we are

Margo Metaphysical has been a staple of Downtown Athens, GA since 2002. Owned and operated by Jill Furman, this magical shop has been through many transformations over the years! Margo started as an amber store in the early 2000’s, then became a bead shop with beautiful handmade jewelry and everything you’d need to create your own, and within the past 10 years transformed into the metaphysical shop you all know and love!

We carry a wide variety of unique, metaphysical items from all over the world including ethically-sourced crystals (even moldavite!), authentic Egyptian papyrus, real taxidermy, genuine tibetan statuary, handcrafted 925 sterling silver jewelry, and more! Aside from our great selection of goods, we also pride ourselves in our extremely knowledgable staff that can provide you with any information you may need on our products.

About our Products

Healing Stones and Crystals

At Margo Metaphysical, we have hundreds of different kinds of healing stones and crystals. Our inventory changes every day, and—as most have unique colors and patterns—part of the fun of visiting our store is finding the stone or crystal that appeals to you.

For thousands of years, proponents of crystal healing have believed that the stones act as conduits for positive energy, which flows into the body as negative energy flows out. While doctors will tell you there's no scientific evidence that crystals will cure disease, many have experienced mental and physical benefits that may simply be linked to the power of belief and the so-called placebo effect, though many attribute their powers to the energetic frequencies they emit and how they can harmonize with our own frequency/vibration.

There are so many different types of crystals and stones, and each one has unique metaphysical properties. While we're always happy to answer your questions, we encourage you to do some research before coming into the store to have a better idea of what you're looking for and why.

Aromatherapy/

Apothecary

One of the great things about coming into Margo Metaphysical is the wonderful range of smells that meet you as soon as you come in the door.

Natural resins, gums, and herbs have been burned as incense since ancient times for their spiritual, healing and fragrancing properties. More recently, essential oils have been incorporated into the mix to create natural incense.

We have all the aromatherapy and incense supplies you need, including:

  • Incense sticks and Dhoop Cones in a wide range of scents including Citronella, Money, Dragon's blood, Frankincense, Jasmine, Karma, Lavender, Lemongrass, Meditation, Musk, Myrhh, Nag Champa, Opium, Positive Vibes, Pyramids, Reiki, Rose, Sandlewood, Seven Chakras, Spiritual Healing, Tree of Life, and White Sage

  • Incense burners and ash catchers

  • Oil burners and coal burners

  • Spirit candles of all colors and candle holders

  • Essential oils like Bergamot, Cedarwood, Florida Water, Grapefruit, Lavender, Lemongrass, Orange, Patchouli, Peppermint, Rosemary, and Tea Tree

  • A wide range of sprays, including Sage, Lavender, Love, Money, Palo Santo, and Protection

Burning sage—also known as smudging—can cleanse a person or space, promote healing and wisdom, and change the mood and energy of your space positively. At Margo Metaphysical, we stock white, blue, dragon's blood, lavender, black, and cedar sage, plus many blends of sage with other beneficial herbs like sweetgrass. We also carry Palo Santo for smudging.

Our herbs and resins include Frankincense and Myrrh, mugwort, lavender, rose petals, copal, and much, much, more.

Tarot/Oracle

Whether you're new to divination or an expert, at Margo Metaphysical, we have dozens of beautiful tarot and oracle decks from which to choose. We also have inspirational, spell, wisdom, thought for the day card decks.

While the popular belief is that tarot cards can predict the future, a better way to understand it is they help you connect with your intuitive subconscious mind—or higher self—and help you make changes in your life that put you on the path to your goals and dreams.

Most tarot decks contain 78 cards, broken into two sections, the Major and Minor Arcana. The Major relate to major and life pivoting events, while the Minor symbolize everyday challenges.

Oracle cards are less structured and don't have a set number of cards in a deck. Each deck is different because the content depends on the author. They're often considered easier for beginners because there are usually less cards and fewer meanings to memorize. Neither tarot or oracle cards are better than the other, and they can even be used together. Picking what's right for you depends on what you want to gain from your readings and how much time you want to spend.
