Dear Bellamy Black,

It has always been my dream to open my own metaphysical shop. Growing up in the 90’s I felt a romantic connection to the world of witchcraft, mostly encouraged by the tv shows and movies of my generation. One thing that really stood out to me was the occult store in the 1996 movie the craft. The store owner seemed ethereal, and powerful. She seemed wise and approachable. I longed for a shop that I could visit. A shop where I could offer myself as an apprentice to magic. But the closest I had was a head shop that sold incense. As I delved deeper into my craft, alone, I realized I longed for a place where I could feel community. A place where I could tell someone my dreams and discuss interpretations. A place where I could buy a cauldron or a rabbit's foot and not be looked at as some weirdo.

Currently I work for a corporate retail conglomerate…. I hate it. I've been reflecting on my life's trajectory and I keep going back to what spirit is telling me. Open up a Metaphysical store. So my question to you is this. Should I open a store? What are some of the challenges you face in your store? How were you received in your community? I am all ears and am eager to learn.

                                          Thank you Bellamy!
