My boyfriend and I happened upon Occult during a recent trip to Chicago as it was near our rental. I'm so happy we went in to check the shop out; it was a very cool store with a plethera of books, crystals, tarot cards, and more. We also ended up chatting with Bishop for a bit, and he was wonderful.
