When it comes to books, I’m pretty old-school. I like my books in paperback format with physical pages that I can flip, mark and stick notes over. I also enjoy giving my old books away to other people who can benefit from the magic within the pages.
As somebody who predominantly works in the digital universe, paperback books are my escape from technology. Whether it’s a fiction novel or a non-fiction textbook, I welcome any sort of book into my life.
My love of books has led me to do some research and compile a list of my top places to shop for mind, body and spirit books in Australia. All of the shops in this list:
- Carry an extensive range of metaphysical, new age and spiritual books and media
- Stock tarot and oracle decks
- Have an online store you can buy directly from
- Offer Australia-wide shipping
I’ve kept the list to mainly locally-owned and independent new age and spiritual bookshops with the exception of a few larger companies and publishers (simply for the huge number of products in their catalogue).

Theosophical Society Bookshop
The first bookshop on this list is my local – the Theosophical Society Bookshop located in Melbourne CBD. This is my personal favourite go-to store to discover new and existing metaphysical and spiritual books. With a vast collection of resources available – including books, audio, tarot and oracle decks – the TS Bookshop is an exciting labyrinth for new age literature and products.

For the more popular titles that you may not find in the independent bookshops, you may be able to find at Angus & Robertson. With over 60,000+ products in the mind, body and spirit category, there is a chance that the book you are after is stocked here. Whilst you probably won’t find too many indie or self-published cards and decks, the selection of popular tarot and oracle cards is decent.
