Hello everyone...
So it's Fireside tomorrow (Friday) and the topic is going to be Divination. Your gentle host Ed will be facilitating. Bring your favourite divination tools (whatever they may be...well...maybe no entrails because that would just be messy and our carpets are already quite hard done by) and be prepared for a good discussion.
In other news...we received four shipments today and have a number of new items including:
- Fairy mints, bandaids (you have to see them to "get" them), "grow your own fairy" sets, and tiny, rubber glow in the dark fairies
- Stone sitting Goddess statues (about 3 inches high) in hematite, clear quartz, rose quartz, serpentine, sodalite and blue quartz
- Clear quartz Sacred Geometry pieces in strange merkabas and shapes I've never seen before
- Giant cotton tapestries in a variety of pagan themes
- More mortars and pestles than you could shake a stick at
- Tarot boxes and other sized soapstone boxes in a variety of designs
- Also, we just got in a rather sizeable book order which Rasa is processing as I write this...

Hello everyone...
Just to help the CWAA spread the word...they're going to be moving their service out of our back room and into a bigger space at the Ukrainian Centre (just north of downtown) effective November 9th (see our website calendar for more details).
In other news...we've managed to find a supplier who had a number of gold and silver ritual candles socked away in their warehouse. They are, as far as I can tell, the only outfit around who still has them and that's probably only because they deal in such volume. As far as I've been told, the manufacturer in Germany is clean out of them and has been for a number of months now. So...long story short - we've got them in stock. For now.
We also just landed a shipment from a strange supplier down south who deals with Hoodoo, Voodoo and Santeria items. We've got floor washes, odd soaps, oil blends from Anna Riva (Fast Luck Oil, anyone?) and a number of very nice altar cloths. Among other things too odd to mention (I chose not to get the "Lucky Black Cat Bone" because as far as I can tell, it's either not actually from a cat - which means it's not what it says it is and false advertising, or, worse, it actually *is* a bone from a cat)...

This just in:
The Exploring the Mystical Side of Crystals: an Advanced Crystal Class has been *CANCELLED* at the instructor's request. Sorry everyone. This looked like it was going to be an excellent class.

Hello all...
Fred and I are back from our Kootenay trip...
It was quite exciting - our first night we saw a bear walking up the road toward us at dusk. This was also the night that I fell and landed on top of Fred while scaling the hillside at high speed in an effort to put distance between us and the self same bear.
The second night we stayed at Kokanee Creek Provincial Park just north of Nelson. This is a very beautiful campground with a great beach and some amazing walking trails. It is also where Kokanee salmon go to spawn and, later on, to die. Apparently the dead ones are quite the delicacy among crows and dogs and I had to really watch Fred to make sure he didn't eat any because rotten salmon + long car ride + camping = one bad scene.
The third night we stayed at Lockhart Beach Provincial Park north of Creston. There is a hiking trail that starts in the day use area and follows Lockhart Creek for miles and miles (possibly forever). Fred and I walked the trail to the 4 km mark with no end in sight. It's more of a goat path than a nature trail but that being said, the Parks people have done an amazing job with the upkeep. I highly recommend taking this trail if you're ever in the area because you'll see forms of life there that could possibly prove the existence of alien life on Earth. I've seen mushrooms before but what's growing in that little slice of rainforest is mindboggling. I can't even describe some of them but if you look up "bear's head fungus" online you'll get an idea of what's out there.
Anyway, the whole point of this story is...I took the twisty-windy drive up past Creston and and got more brooms. They had more variety of stock this year and I've managed to get some very nice brooms.
We're also starting to get our Christmas stock in and new things should be arriving every couple of weeks or so.
We will be hosting the CWAA Women's Mysteries this coming Sunday Oct 5.
Fireside will be Oct 10. As far as I know no topic/facilitator have been chosen.
