So Samhain will soon be upon us...
And we think we have the ghosts exorcised from the website. We have a Very Smart person working on this...
Other news...we have a vast number of crystals that we are slowly inventorying and putting out. I'll post specifics once I get it all sorted out.
Sandra has taken over making the book orders. I'm not sure how this is going to change the selection in the Store. She's very thorough and I think having her take on this task is going to mean interesting things to come.

So we're going to be open Thanksgiving Day regular hours 11am to 6pm!
Other news: our website is in some freaky kind of limbo due to an ill-timed upload by our web guru during a server platform upgrade. My fault totally because I neglected to inform her.
Any...at some point, hopefully soon, check for website improvements...

5 October 2009 Part 2
If you know either of these two people, please contact the Edmonton Police Service. Call us too. I'd love to have a chat with them about Karma and why it's wrong to take other people's stuff. 5 October 2009
Hello World...
I saw three different crystal suppliers last week - I'm working hard to get it all inventoried and put out. Look for new things in the coming days. I'll post more details as I get it done (I don't want to mention things here until they're actually out and ready for sale)
Also, pentacle rings. We're going to have all the sizes in again shortly (ie. this week).
Other, other news...starting tomorrow and every Tuesday and Thursday afternoon for October we will be welcoming Jennifer who is going to be working for us as part of a government sponsored work experience program. She seems to be very bright and enthusiastic and having her here should be an interesting experience for everyone.
And lastly...the geode. I know. You're probably tired of hearing about it. I know I'm tired of thinking about it. I was so angry about it the other day that I actually broke one of my molars because I was clenching my teeth so hard.
We were able to pull some adequate pictures of the thieves from our security cameras. If you're interested, we will have them by the till. Have a look. If you recognize either of these people please let us know. If you can provide information that leads to the safe return of the geode, we would be most grateful.
We are going to have to strictly enforce the "no bags or backpacks" policy. I *really* hate to have to do this because it punishes the 99% of the people who shop here who are honest because 1% of the people who come throught the door are idiots.
I promise you that if we do request that you leave your bag or backpack at the till, we will safeguard it with our lives. And please accept my apologies, in advance, for such invasive treatment. But that geode...it was worth more than my car.

3 October 2009 Part II
Crappy luck...no. I'm certain this was a planned job. In retrospect all the signs were there. What's embarassing is, looking back at the camera footage, just how clumsy a job it was. But it worked. And that's all that matters.
And, if this follows the pattern of the last time we were jacked (for the Food Bank donation jar back in the spring), they'll be back again. Smart people, or people capable of connecting the dots or who don't vastly underestimate those around them, don't tend to commit petty crimes like this.
And now, because of this, we're going to have to add one more layer of security. Coming soon to a friendly Pagan store near you: an RFID tag sensor/alarm system. Honest people have nothing to fear from it. And had we had it today we could have at least had an inkling that something was up and possibly gotten the geode back before it got too far away (it's pretty hard to run with a twenty pound rock in your knapsack).
But it really really sucks sending that message of distrust out to everyone because a few a#$*les have decided to make a buck at our expense.
What next? I have no idea but this whole thing just makes me so very sad.

Hello world...
I've posted this on FaceBook and I figure I'll post it here: today we had a $400 citrine geode cathedral shoplifted from the store!
What's goofy is that we got it on camera. You can actually see them picking up the geode and stuffing it into a backpack!
The problem is, it was busy at the time and I didn't think to check the camera records until long after the couple had gone.
But...here are the details:
They were a native couple, young (early twenties is my guess). The woman was of average height and build with long black hair pulled back. She had a big grey backpack. The man was slightly shorter than average with stocky build. He was wearing an orange ball cap. They were both wearing purple hoodies and black jeans. She had white shoes and his were brown.
The theft happened at 12:32 pm today. The geode was citrine, about a foot tall and about 18 inches wide. It was the one that was to your left as you went through the archway. From the way the other geode had been moved, it appears their original target was the larger geode but, unfortunately (!) it was too big to fit into the knapsack.
So here's the message to you two miserable exuses for human beings: WE DON'T KNOW WHO YOU ARE BUT WE KNOW WHAT YOU LOOK LIKE! EVEN IF WE NEVER CATCH YOU, A HIGHER LAW WILL. GOOD LUCK WITH THAT!
Yeah, I'm mad. Can you tell?
Anyway, if you see this couple, be advised that they're thieves. If someone tries to sell you a suspiciously cheap citrine cathedral, it *is* too good to be true. If you wanted to do a good deed, if you see either the geode or this couple, please give us a call at the store at 780 454-0187.
Grrrr....
