“ You do have to put in some work on the mundane level,” says Lawrence.“ All of that [ spell ] energy is welled up and it’ s waiting for a place to go. You send out the resumes and the energy just flows right to it to make it happen.”
“ Magic takes the path of least resistance,” May says.“ You have to give it a place for it to manifest.”
The new Cranston space— their fifth location— reopened in June and provides a bigger venue for events. On Oct. 2, they’ ll hold a Candle Magick class, followed by a Poppets( think a more positive version of voodoo dolls) class on Oct. 8. The store also offers sessions with its resident medium; personal tarot readings; introductory courses on deities led by expert guests; Witch n’ Stitch gatherings; and free Coffee Around the Cauldron events where everyone is welcome to stop by and learn more about the metaphysical world.
“ It’ s always a blast meeting people,” May says.“ And we’ ve watched some really wonderful friendships form.”
Speaking of, I wasn’ t ready for our chat to be over, but a quick glance at the time told me I needed to leave ASAP to make my eleven o’ clock meeting. I paused to check my email. The meeting was rescheduled.“ That’ s a perfect example of spellwork,” Lawrence says.“ There was already a crack and you just took the crack and made it bigger— you just kept putting energy into,‘ Move it, move it.’”
“ You’ re going to get in the car after this and text all your friends,‘ I’ m a freaking witch!’” May jokes.( I may have done exactly that.) The extra time gave me the chance to indulge my curiosity about the dangers of TikTok tarot readers( take heed, it’ s always the algorithm) and local scammers( spoiler: the candle always turns black— don’ t give someone $ 1,500 to remove an alleged hex on your kin!).
It was comforting to know that if I ever want to learn more about magic and witchcraft, I would be welcomed and encouraged to ask all the questions at the Veiled Crow.
“ You don’ t have to drive all the way to Salem,” May says.“ We’ re right here.”
