The Shop
We’re thrilled to announce that after opening our online doors in 2019, Turtle Tarot Emporium has now bloomed into a stunning physical space as of July 2024! What began as a humble venture with mystery boxes has grown into a holistic haven, packed full of breathtaking crystals, spiritual tools, and so much more. Based in the heart of Basingstoke, Hampshire, we’re here to guide and support you on your spiritual journey.
Our mission is simple: to make spiritualism accessible to everyone, no matter where you are on your path. Whether you’re a seasoned crystal collector or just beginning your journey, we’re here to help you every step of the way.

Molly
I'm the 24-year-old owner and crystal fanatic. Not only do I live and breathe crystals—I’m obsessed with both their metaphysical magic and the science behind them—but I also run our website and social media, making sure all the sparkly goodness reaches you no matter where you are. Oh, and when I’m not doing that, I’m hosting tarot readings and classes (yep, I’m a qualified tarot reader—get in touch if you want to dive deeper!).
Choosing a favorite crystal is impossible (I love them all!), but right now I’m totally vibing with our statement amethyst pieces.
Nancy
Meet Nancy, aka Mama Turtle, the powerhouse behind the scenes (and sometimes right up front)! If you’ve ever wondered how we keep things running so smoothly at our indoor events or in the shop, it’s thanks to this organisational wizard. Nancy’s the one making sure everything’s in place, from the crystals to my diary (because let’s face it, I’d be lost without her reminders!).
But that’s not all—Nancy’s creativity shines just as brightly as her skills with a calendar. She’s the talented creator of stunning silver jewellery, each piece a unique work of art. And when she’s not keeping us all in check, she’s obsessing over her favourite gemstone—labradorite.
Mark
Brace yourselves—Mark (aka Papa Turtle) has entered the crystal realm, and trust us, you'll know when he's around! Known for his love of big, bold, statement pieces, Mark’s passion is all about the wow factor. His personal favorite? Our massive jade iguana, affectionately named Iggy—he’s convinced it’s practically a family member at this point.
You'll catch Mark at outdoor events, usually wrestling with the gazebo (and winning!) while sprinkling his signature crystal confetti magic. If you hear someone cracking jokes and throwing in the hard sell with a wink, that's probably him—Mark’s got a flair for making sure you walk away with a treasure and a smile.
Come say hi to Papa Turtle at our next event, and if you’re looking for something that’ll turn heads, he’s your guy. Just don’t be surprised if you leave with an iguana-sized crystal under your arm!
Cam
We've got a new crystal enthusiast on board at our events—introducing Cam, all the way from New Zealand! While you won’t catch him behind the counter in the shop, you’ll definitely spot him at our events, snapping photos of our sparkly treasures or hyping up the crowd with his infectious energy.
His absolute fave? Our jade money frog! When he’s not capturing our crystals in their best light for the website, he’s motivating the family and spreading his Kiwi charm wherever he goes.
