We now have a business table, where people can try to network with other folks in the area. Sometimes people come in seeking tarot readers or other such resources. Hopefully, people will see the shop as a way to connect in order to build community (the greater goal). Right now, we have a few connections, but I hope this will grow over time.
We also have a donations area for people in the community who need a bit of help. This too will hopefully be a way for people to feel a sense of community. Right now, the book case is filled with packaged and canned foods, but we hope that others will also help the community so no one goes hungry. This idea was inspired by one of our favorite metaphysical shops in Occoquan, Virginia–13 Magickal Moons--a shop that we highly recommend if someone happens to be in the area.
Blessed be!
