- Other people have mentioned herbs, oils, magazines and the like. One
- thing that I have had a hard time finding is artwork and a goddess for
- my altar. After I broke down and made my own, THEN I start to find
- sources for goddesses. Also, athames and swords are hard to find, since
- only the very largest stores carry them.
-
- One of the best herb stores that I've been in also carried "hippie"
- type things, to encourage more walk-in traffic and non-wiccan business.
- Personally, I liked it because it gave me more excuses to stop in and
- I know that I dropped a lot more money there than I would have if it had
- been hard-core wiccan supplies alone. And the overlap between hippies
- and wiccans was almost entirely friendly.
