Serendipity at it’s best!
I’m working away from home again and was killing time during my two hours break on Saturday in Goring, Berkshire. So I’m walking through the village, minding my own business , doing a spot of window shopping and certain that that would be all I was doing, when I am suddenly yanked back (think big long shepherds crook à la vaudeville stage) and into what turns out to be a lovely New Age shop with the usual assortment of crystals, incense, ornaments etc; and a range of lovely gift ideas and jewelry that would make wonderful Yuletide gifts for anyone looking for that special spiritual gift. The key thing I noticed though was how incredibly cheep they all were, not ‘on sale’ not ‘end of line, hurry offer must end soon’ just cheap, good quality items. (wow, sales pitch over, you’d think it was my shop wouldn’t you).
The shop has a lovely atmosphere and the owner was very friendly and welcoming but the bonus was that, today, for one day only, she had John and Caitlin Mathews in store doing Tarot readings with his new set: The Wild Wood Tarot – Wherein wisdom resides; and selling that set and other works by both Caitlin and himself. I did buy a set and he duly signed the book therein, but sadly couldn’t stay for a reading or his talk later on, and when I looked at the book cover I realised I had already seen this set! We cannot work out how as it is new but I definitely knew the image on the cover so it was absolutely meant to be that I should go into that village at that time on that day! The set is lovely by the way, I can definitely recommend it, and both John and Caitlin were very nice to talk to and the whole place made me wish I had two days instead of two hours break, I shall definitely be going back there (even if I haven’t got any more money to spend right now)
Oh yeah – The shop is called Crystal Moon, if you are in or around Reading I say take a little detour and go visit, you won’t regret it I’m sure.
Blessed Be!
