There are fewer and fewer occult and magic shops around these days. Even in big cities, the pickings are slim.
It’s that way in Toronto too, which is too bad. I miss them. Fortunately though, they’re not all gone.
Andrew McGregor’s The Hermit’s Lamp up on Vaughn Road is a new favourite of mine, and I’ll be writing about his upcoming Hermetica Art Show some time in the next couple of weeks.
But there’s also Wonderworks down on Harbord Street, owned and operated by Rochelle Holt. The Goddess is well represented at the shop through Holt’s large selection of Wiccan and Pagan items.
She also has Tarot books and decks, incense and crystals, herbs, oils, pendulums! All the magical goods you could possibly need.
In addition to the store, Wonderworks hosts classes and art shows. I’ve been to quite a few Tarot workshops there and they’ve all been great.
Monica Bodirsky is teaching a Tarot Intensive series there right now. It started last Thursday, but there are still five sessions left.
You can take all five, or sign up for individual modules – no prerequisites required.
To see what else is going on at Wonderworks, check out their calendar. There’s something magic every day.
