The Serpent's Key Shoppe & Sanctuary - Hanover, Pennsylvania

Awesome little spot for things mystical, witchy, or something slightly off enough to be adorable.

Came to visit out of raw curiosity, left with a sense of community, a handmade bunny thing, and black cat sun catcher.

The store itself is small, but the owner does a lot with the space she has. Also, it sounds like she has a real interest in making sure the community has what they need and to give back in her own way.

Never judge a book by its cover. The blackest of books may contain the sweetest of poetry.

Lovely spot well worth the visit.

I came from Montgomery, Alabama via Shepherdstown, WV and felt right at home. As a shop, it’s great: a good variety of merchandise spanning a wide river of price points — handmade beeswax charm candles for two bucks, some art pieces for quite a bit more.

If you don’t come to shop, stop by to catch the vibes. Beck has such open energy and has created a haven to stop and catch your breath. I noticed a book-lending book as well. I felt warm, welcome, and at home during my visit. Can’t wait to come back next summer.

(Photos are of the bathroom, which is a lovely bathroom and has period hygiene supplies one might need, provided at no charge.)

An amazing shop! I visited for the first time recently and was amazed at all the unique items available in this store. Shopping online is so popular nowadays but you wouldn’t regret coming into this store because there are definitely a lot of very beautiful and unique items available that you’d want to see up close and personal which you can’t do online. Books, jewelry, art, candles, clothing, apothecary products and herbal teas they’ve got you covered! There’s a lot of skill and talent in so many of these vendors as well as the owner of the shop who is amazingly knowledgeable and talented in so many ways. A safe space for the community can be found here. A true Gem 💜

Interesting store run by some truly lovely people who gave us a great welcome. Lots of fantastic bespoke merchandise. As much a place for sanctuary as much for shopping.

I have yet to visit, but the decor is delightful.
I'm leaving a 5-star review in support of the removal of the very outdated statute Title 18 - 7104. Fortune telling, as it is denying people the right to freedom of religion. Pennsylvania is still living in the 1800's and it's disgraceful. Keep exercising your constitutional rights and believe in what you shall.

Very welcoming atmosphere. Fun collection of things for sale ranging from crystals to stickers to homemade crafts.

I love this place! Beck is always so friendly and helpful and radiates good energy. I can get so many great herbs and incense here; and I’ve even attended a class/workshop that was hosted here. Super grateful to have this place in our town!

This shop is a breath of fresh air to downtown. The owner is amazing and has organized groups of all faiths and backgrounds to clean up trash around the square. Their energy is so uplifting.
All of the items in the shop are ethically sourced and they are always open for questions and discussions, with no judgement or sales pitches. I brought my son in and he bought his first artwork and some stones and incense. Beck was so sweet explaining the zodiac imagery in the print he chose and patiently listened to him as he told them stories. 🙂
