It’s h-e-r-e!! (Well, almost.) Saturday, March 17, 6:30 pm it will be here — the Third Annual HBS Trivia Night. This is one of the most fun events we do at HBS, so we hope you can join us! Cost is just $10 apiece. You can gather your team and register as a table (maximum of 6 to a table) or you can register as an individual and we’ll put you together with others to make up a team. (Trust us — great new friendships have come out of fighting in the trenches together for a Trivia Championship!)
We provide non-alcoholic beverages, but you and your team are welcome to bring your own alcoholic versions if you like. Same with food — cause who can do trivia without yummies to stimulate the brain cells?! Deb and Cat pick the categories AND make up all the questions — and while the staff CAN play, they have not been privy to either. Both are closely guarded secrets here at HBS — kept under lock and key until the grand reveal on St. Paddy’s Day.
So give us a call at HBS now and reserve your seat / table. This event has sold out every time so far, so plan ahead. And each member of the winning team wins a gift certificate to … let’s just say it’s one of our favorite stores. 🙂 Hope to see you there!

Get Your Own Individualized Angel Portrait w/ Susan WalterAt the age of 4 and again at age 6 during life saving surgeries, I had what would now be called ‘near death experiences’. Though at that age I did not have the words to explain what I had experienced, and can’t say it went over well with my parents in rural Iowa in the 1960’s. During those experiences I was introduced to some of my own angels, in the most beautiful garden I have ever seen or experienced where I was accepted for exactly who I am without expectations.
After these experiences I was able to see my angels all the time, they have been my friends and my guides ever since. It didn’t take long to learn it was best not to talk about my experiences or what I saw and it just became such a normal art of my life I just assumed that others had them same capabilities. My life was what I thought of as normal, I married and had 4 great kids. Living the life and doing all the things we are expected to do as Wife and Mother.
Life continued to be normal until January 1997. To be honest I am not sure how or why it happened but I noted I was seeing more angles than I ever had before, it didn’t take long to understand that I was now seeing the angels of everyone around me. I was asked, maybe told is a better word, to use this gift to draw what I was seeing to help others connect with their angels.
To say I was not an artist is an understatement, I had wanted to be an artist as a kid when I learned I was born the same day as Michelangelo. Over time to make day to day life easier I learned to turn the volume down a little, allowing me to see others angles as clouds of color that is constantly moving similar to a snow globe. I have also learned to use photos to see the angels with others as long, as I can see their eyes, allowing me to help as many people as possible to make the connection with their angels.
I have continued to expand my artistic abilities and in 2010 started playing with mandalas. In 2011 I was introduced to the Solfeggio frequencies and ask to create mandalas for 6 of the earthly frequencies. Being who I am this peaked my curiosity and I started doing research and learning there is actually 81 frequencies, 9 sets of 9, to assist
us through our evolutionary development, each set of the frequencies assisting us along on each step of our journey of growth and expansion. Each set taking us and assisting us in the next level, dimension or frequency.
As I continue to work and create the Solfeggio mandalas, I understand my connection with the frequencies on a deeper and deeper level with each mandala. And during a spiritual experience a couple years, I was shown life times spent not only working with the Solfeggio Frequencies and the crystal singing bowls during times of great change on our planet, but also as one of the Guardians of the Solfeggio.

Traditions across the world honor and recognize the sanctified dead, not just the ancestors of flesh and blood we knew in life, but the ancestors of our spiritual traditions who died in a state of alignment and union with the divine. Known as the Bodhisattvas, Saints, Secret Chiefs, Ascended Masters and Inner Plane Adepts in other traditions, Witches know our ancestors as the Hidden Company, the Mighty Dead of our Timeless Tradition in the Nameless Art. In truth, they are the guiding principles of our modern tradition, as inner world priests and priestesses to the gods. They consist of our elders in the modern and ancient world, united in the ecstatic dance of the Witch’s Sabbat. In this workshop, you will come to understand the nature of the Mighty Dead and how to work directly with them for your own healing and evolution, and your work in the worlds of flesh and spirit, how to work with ancestral altars, oracular skulls, and spiritual merging; and learn to find guides, teachers, healers and partners within the order of the Mighty Dead. Cost is $30. NOTE: Christopher’s workshops always sell out, so register early AND pay in advance to ensure you have a seat!
Christopher is a Witch, teacher, writer and healing practitioner. His practice draws upon the foundation of both modern and traditional Witchcraft blended with the wisdom of mystical traditions from across the globe as a practitioner and teacher of shamanism, tarot, Reiki healing, herbalism, astrology and Qabalah.
He is the founder of the Temple of Witchcraft tradition and system of magickal training based upon the material of his books and classes. He is an ordained minister primarily serving the New Hampshire and Massachusetts pagan and metaphysical communities through public rituals, private counsel and teaching, though he travels extensively teaching throughout the United States.

If you’ve ever wondered what the stars know about you that you don’t, you might want to stop in at HBS on Saturday, July 15 for the first of a 4-part Introduction to Astrology series with Lexi Huff. Over the four workshops that make up this series, Lexi will be explaining the signs, the planets, astrological houses and planetary aspects — AND give you the chance to not only review and interpret your OWN chart, but also to put your new understandings to use by reviewing someone else’s! If you already have your chart, bring it with you. If you’ve never had one prepared, e-mail Lexi at showmeastrology@gmail.com before the first class and she’ll prepare one for you. Cost for each class is just $20, but seating is somewhat limited so to be SURE you get to take advantage of this opportunity, best to call and reserve your seat.
What if you can’t make the first workshop but want to attend the others? (Which by the way are on August 19, September 16, and October 21) No problem, assuming seats are still available. Lexi is teaching each class as a stand-alone workshop so take advantage of the ones you CAN attend even if you can’t make them all.
In case you’ve been living in a cave and haven’t heard, August is the month CoMo gets to experience a full solar eclipse — KIND of a rare event. If you’d like to hear a bit about the astrological and metaphysical energies that come sweeping along with a solar eclipse, mark your calendar to attend the Coffee & Conversation on Saturday, August 19 (10:30-11:30 am). Lexi Huff will be leading the discussion that day on All Things Eclipse-related, so you can be prepared to ride the tide with the best of them.
If you’d like to dig deeper, some one-on-one time with astrologer, Lexi Huff, may be just what the metaphysician ordered. Lexi is doing astrological readings at HBS the first and third Thursday of each month starting August 22. Each reading is $60 and lasts for one hour. She can walk you through your very own Natal (Birth) chart, show you what the stars have to say is coming up for you THIS year with a Solar Return chart (always cool to do around your birthday) or yes, even do a couple’s chart with you and your sweetie so you can finally understand WHY s/he insists on being so ___________ [fill in the blank]. To schedule a reading, call HBS at 573-777-6771. You’ll need to provide your birthdate, time, and place at the time you make your appointment so she can prepare your chart in advance of your reading.
And whether you’re a lifelong astrologer yourself or brand new to the topic, we have books you WILL want to check out. Just a few on the list include:
The Zodiac by Degrees
