    “Great store. A bit smaller than I expected but it had a great selection. They had a cute program that encouraged you to buy a book for an education program and keep a book. I also loved the amount of suggested books and ended up buying a book I had never heard of which I am excited about.”

    “Despite the place going down hill from what it used to be with items sold.I always come out filled with positive energy.The staff are always decently familiar with the craft. Just not of the local active covens.Last time I went I was drawn by a guiding force to just take me there. I wanted a certain candle didn't have the money for it. But was blessed to observe a reading being performed.The blessings of the Lord and Lady, the sweet woman whom was having her tarot reading performed bought me the candle.I say this was always my no 1 go to place for items locally "Craft" related.As a 3rd degree I can't say enough positive things about this store.I remember it was ran by a Coven when It was over by the blazing saddle.May the Lord and Lady bless all who come into the store.”
