If your heart is pure and your intention is good, the Gods and Goddesses will smile on you so you need never fear ‘getting it wrong’. They have had thousands of years of new people stumbling about not having a clue but wanting to do magic. It makes perfect sense for them to encourage rather than scare.
We have books from the simple to the amazingly complex.
This holds crystal balls, incense, athames, wands, highly symbolic jewellery, intricate boxes and statues. Gods and goddesses from many cultures, beautifully crafted and really well packed so they will survive shipping!
It costs the same to have a good tarot reading as a bad one so choosing a pack you like and working with it is worth doing. We stock about 100 tarot and Oracle packs and as many books on Tarot. So many people will ‘recommend’ a pack and an equal number will say it is rubbish.
A superstition is that you should always be given a pack of cards and never buy your own. Make up your own mind as you wouldn’t let them choose a a pair of shoes for you, why should they dictate something as personal as your deck? If you have a friend kind enough to want to pay though…
We have a couple of hundred books on witchcraft so hopefully there will be something here for you.
We are enormously proud that Gerald Gardner’s first London coven met here and the modern witchcraft revival started here. Geraldine saw him when she was a girl as he and her father were friends. We have a family tradition that is definitely four generations on one side and three on the other.
We welcome new people, Alexandrians, Gardnerians, hereditaries, hedgewitches, solitaries, what ever you are as we try to live by Merry Meet, Merry Part and Merry Meet Again!
There is just something about ancient Egypt that seems to grip us. The balanced beauty of the gods, the colours of their costumes, the completeness of the rituals that have been translated for us.
The Golden Dawn used this pantheon in their rituals and so, magically, we have become very used to them as each god is distinct and has a clear job to do.
