Howdy,

First off, I have to thank all of you for your incredible generosity.  Our anonymous family in need did collect enough money to pay their rent and will not be evicted.  Thank you for contributing your money, wares and positive energies and good thoughts.  All donations, all of kinds, were invaluable and truly saved a family's life.

We are open on Mondays until Dec. 25, 11am - 6pm.

Now, it may be December, you know the "holiday" month, but we've got a full calendar.  I hope you'll have time to squeeze in a little time for yourself amidst all the parties and gatherings this month.  EBN is turning 4 this month and we're having our annual Open House on the 23rd to celebrate.  I hope you can stop by.  So read on and please call the shop at (336) 373-0733 to make reservations.

Saturday, December 2, 11:00am – 6:00pm – Tarot Readings by Kathe.  Kathe is a professional psychic with 18 years experience. She reads the Tarot, primarily the Motherpeace Deck, practices psychometry, and channels - aka talks to dead people.  She is Medical Intuitive and certified Acupressurist trained at the Acupressure Institute in Berkeley, California in Traditional Chinese Medicine. Kathe will begin the session using psychometry by holding an object such as a piece of your jewelry or your keys - metal objects are best - at the onset of the reading to tune into your energy. Information about your physical health and the physical health of those close to you is most likely to come through at this time. Kathe will then use the Motherpeace Tarot Deck to complete your reading. The information Kathe receives is wide-ranging and can cover a vast array of subjects. Symbol is the language of Spirit, and as a Shamanic practitioner and channeler Kathe has learned to interpret the symbols she intuits to elucidate her readings for her clients. NOTE: It is not unusual for spontaneous channelings to occur during a reading with Kathe.  Kathe is currently undergoing screening for inclusion in the Veritas Research Program sponsored by the Laboratory for Advances in Consciousness and Health in the Department of Psychology at the University of Arizona. This is the program that has extensively evaluated and validated such well know psychic mediums as John Edward, George Anderson, Allison DuBois, and many others.  If a channeling should occur during a reading with Kathe you may be asked to participate in this study as a sitter. Participation is completely voluntary and will not in any way affect the content or quality of your reading. Readings are $15 for 15 minutes. Longer sessions are available upon request. Advance reservations are suggested.

Saturday, December 16, 3:00pm – 6:00pm - Candle Magick Workshop. You can make candle magick complicated, if you like- but why?  True, there are many factors that can play into the art of candle magick but spells don't have to be complex or difficult to be effective.  In fact, the simplest spells are usually the most effective. One of the simplest of magickal arts is candle magick.  It is simple because it employs little ritual and few ceremonial artifacts.  To begin with all you really need is a single candle, matches and your own personal power.  In this workshop we will go over a few basic things you'll need to know when using candle magick, as well as ways to enhance your candle magick in the future.  The first part of the class will be instructional and the second part will be actual spell casting with candles.  Materials will be provided by instructor (accept for writing material if you plan on taking notes).  The cost of this three hour workshop is $20.00.  Sign up in advance, as there will have to be at least four people attending in order for the workshop to take place.  Workshop will be lead by Lee Ann Donaldson.

($15 per person)
