Occasional and painfully misguided goofball protesters (eternal outrage is even more important than eternal salvation for some people these days!) aside, surely we can all cheer esoteric bookshop Spiral Circle hitting the half-century mark. This New Age mainstay, a longtime purveyor of books, crystals, tinctures and host of all manner of spirit-centering events, holds the distinction of being Orlando’s oldest independent bookstore. The shop has weathered both the supposed death of print and a pandemic — it’s as if their success was written in the stars.
