White Light New Age Books

Went to White Light to be introduced to crystals. Left with so much more. Beautiful store.

Best prices in Kansas City! I will never go back to Aquarius again after visiting here. Lots of information provided too.

I absolutely love this metaphysical, new age bookstore in Kansas City. Located in the heart of the 39^th Street bustle, I love that this place is located on the second story — it feels like you are walking into a different dimension.
You will find assortments of crystals, tarot cards, books of all subjects, incense, essential oils and art. The owner Dave, and Lauren, were extremely friendly during our visit.
The entire store just felt so great. I loved the energy and felt so relaxed and at ease throughout our stay. They offer a variety of spiritual classes and healing sessions — I wish I would have been able to experience one of those!

Very interesting store. They have books on a lot great subjects, stones, jewelry and a lot more. The staff is both knowledgeable and help and I also think they do classes here as well. I’ll sure I’ll be back.

I love White Light! So much information in one place! The store has wonderful energy and the Oden Reiki is amazing!

I love this place.:) I suggest people do the Oden Reiki it has helped a lot.:):) David is a great person for energy work.

Still awesome. They moved and I love what they’ve done to the space.
You walk up stairs, and open the right door. It’s loaded, and I mean seriously loaded with books, tarot cards, stones, crystals.
Jewelry in the case. Crystals on shelves. Incense, candles, (my favorite are Oden charged candles), books, alcoves of more books. Wonderful staff. Great affordable prices.
The door to the left is where they hold classes, do reiki, readings. Just love the entire change of space. I could spend hours at this store.
The entire store is Oden Reiki charged. I love love love this store.

This place is just great!!! A great selection of gemstones, high quality incense, books, candles, censors, classes, etc. etc. etc. I would give it 4.5 stars if I could just because they didn’t carry 7 day candles. I don’t mind paying the higher price for the colors that the grocery stores don’t carry. The gemstone prices and selection blow away their competition on Broadway. The gentleman who was working behind the counter was very gracious and helpful. I really enjoyed this store. The variety and high quality of incense in stock was impressive. I went to buy a $ 30 book on gemstones and he stopped me. He showed me a pocket version which had 25 more gemstones in it, was written by the same author, and was actually signed by the author for $ 15. Good move! I have my new Botswana Agate in my pocket as we speak. This store is right on time. Very impressive.

I drove to the address listed above from Independence last night only to find that the address is incorrect. At first I thought perhaps the store was under new ownership and had changed, but after coming home, angry as hell, I found that the actual address is as follows.
1801 W. 39^th Street
Kansas City, MO 64 111
I really like this store. They have a beautiful variety of stones, books, candles, incense, and more. My only issue is that the owner doesn’t seem to be very involved in his customers. He greeted my fiancé and I and that was about it. I would have loved it if he’d talked to me a bit about the stones I was buying, given me recommendations… etc. All in all, I liked the store and I will definitely be back.

I’m with Joi B. on this one — this is not so much a «new age» place; it’s more of a one-​stop shop for all of your pagan/​esoteric/​other miscellaneous paths needs. Which is perfectly fine by me… but if «new age» makes other shoppers feel better about stopping in, that’s cool too. But I digress.
While White Light does indeed offer books, there’s so much more to be found there too. Everything from tarot cards to candles, jewelry to stone carvings, cds and incense, and beyond. They also offer classes, tarot card readings, «energy adjustments», and more. If you’re looking for something a little bit different or off the beaten path, you’ll find it here.
When you enter White Light, it sort of feels like you’re in someones living room, which is cool. There’s comfy seating, the smell of incense is in the air, and soothing music is on — the other day, it was Celtic music, which I enjoy. You’re free to browse to your heart’s content, but the staff are also happy to help you out or answer any questions you may have. The overall feel of the shop is comfort and contentedness, which makes for a happy shopping experience.
I was specifically looking for a certain polished stone to add to the collection above my desk (hey, I like surrounding myself with rocks and other interesting miscellany), and while they didn’t have the particular stone I was looking for, I was able to pick up a few other interesting stones.
Another cool aspect of White Light? Freebies! When we checked out, we were invited to each choose a free polished stone from the bowl on the counter. Another time, we got some free incense. YAY!
This is definitely my favorite «new age» shop in KC.

I entered the White Light and found my path…
to the incense, tarot decks, books and crystal balls.
Normally anything with «new age» in the title gives me the willies, I’ll be honest. Why not tell it like it is, you know, «occult» bookstore. I get that this wouldn’t be a sensible business model in this region, however.
That there really isn’t anything «new age» about a good deal of the offerings is no matter, I suppose. No one needs to know. It’s kind of a code word at this point.
There really is a good selection here. The smells of sandalwood, frankincense, patchouli, amber and musk permeate the store in a familiar, comfortable way for those of us who spent their teens/​early 20s in similar stores trying to find material to help themselves make sense of the world.
You can get quality incense, oils and candles for really cheap at White Light. There is a decent selection of tarot cards, as well as accessories for the home and altar.
