I want to know where I can go to find information on, or about meditation, and
tarrot reading, astrology, and dream interpetation. All I'm looking for is
general info. and books, and bookstores. I don't know what kinds of things to
expect from this, but it intrests me, so . . . I'd like any help I could get.
thanx.

Let's see if I can wade through this line noise... The best
place in the Ann Arbor area is Crazy Wisdom,
on Fourth Street by Ann. They have loads of books and tarot decks and such.
Nearer Detroit, I'm told the Mayflower book store is excellent.

Borders in Birmingham has a big selection. The Michigan Metaphysical
Society has a bookstore on 12 Mile Road in Berkeley.

I think Bell, book and candle is out of business isn't it?
I have to agree with Rob, Crazy wisdon is one of the best for books and supplie
s. The Mayflower is cool, a little trendy, filled with teenages with pale skin
...wearing black...
I post a number for a great store called Roots and Wings, they're acctually
more like distributers, they run the shop out of their home, prices are great.
Has anyone been to the Middle earth book shop in Stearling Heights?? Also the
Mystic Curio, or whatever it's called now, in Mount Clemmons is nice.

What about Falling Water in Ann Arbor? I'm no expert for obvious
reasons.

For "liquid" herbs and pre-made tinctures, I recommend Seva restaurant and
market in Ann Arbor. I think it is on East Liberty...right across from the Bead
Gallery. :)

Heard what? All about what? <acts innocent> You know what Brighn? I don't
think anyone ever told you about the side effects of boysenberry jelly....
<laughs to herself> When your hand mysteriously turns purple, then I will tell
youthe jelly is rare.
Contributions? heh heh. <grins mischeviously>
Greetings and salivations to you all as well. <curtsies>

Brighn you silly silly you. :) Yes, but there are OTHER side effects. SOme
which are inappropriate for me to post publicly. But, we'll let you discover
those all on your own.

<smiles innocently> Brighn, you silly... Don't you know all you must do is ask
me for the antidote? Lucky for you, boysenberry jelly isn't fatal. After what
happened yesterday? Eeyore, vomit? Hmmm... Sounds to me like one of those many
sections here in our little world of Grex that I simply MUST avoid. Sera,
ummmm...truth be told? Yes, dear, I knew you were here. I was told yesterday,
in fact.
You know what everyone? If Kami were to come by here and read this, she
would most certainly want to know WHY we have drifted WAY off topic. Does
anyone know of any other stores in the Ann Arbor/Ypsilanti area? Morg

<brighn taps his heels together three times: There no place like topic,
there's no place like topic, there's no place like topic>
Well, #0 didn't specify the Ann Arbor area, so we can't we turn this into
a whole Michigan area thang, or even an internation thang?
The Lansing area has Triple Goddess, in Okemos. The best selection, but
that's not saying much in this town. *sigh* But Dawne (the owner) is a
sweetie and will order just about anything you care to have (as long as
it's legal and relevant to the shop). There's also Mountain Books, on
Waverly in Lansing, with mostly astrology stuff and incense... lots of
incense.
Mayflower Books in Berkley (12 mile) has the largest book collection I've
ever seen outside of the major chains, and his books are all on religion...
choose your religion (atheists need not apply, though). Already mentioned
was Michigan Metaphysical, also on 12 mile, but I think they may be
defunct or at any rate seriously struggling by now... Mayflower seems to
be drowning them out.
Fuch's on Gratiot in downtown Detroit has a wonderful collection of candles
and other supplies. It's primarily aimed at Voudon/Santeria (and mass
consumption sterotypes of those, yet), so some of the stuff is a bit
odd for my tastes, but that's what religious diversity is all about,
and it does have some excellent stuff for the Wiccan.
In Ann Arbor, there's Crazy Wisdom, Falling Water, a small section of
books in Common Language, and surely a few others... poke around the
Fourth Street/Main Street shops, and you'll be surprised what you find.
Refreshingly liberal (coming from a Lansingite).
Since I'm giving my exhaustive list, I should also mention the Occult
Shop in Toronto. Clever name: "The Occult Shop". Fairly decent stuff,
at reasonable prices.
*There* How's that for back on topic? What stores did I miss?
