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
Planetary Aspects
Astrology and the Rising of the Kundalini
The Complete Book of Chart Rectification

Kacy Howell, who has been a part of Heart, Body, & Soul since not long after we opened — first as a regular customer and then as staff — is heading off to North Carolina to start a new adventure. (Apparently she took all the talk around here about the importance of pursuing your dreams to heart and is actually DOING it, to our chagrin!) Her last day at HBS will be this coming Wednesday, June 28, so if you want to say your good-byes and wish her well on her next chapter, be sure to swing by!!
(And yes, this also means that the New Moon monthly series she was leading will be cancelled. But she WILL still be available to offer astrological insights long-distance.)

If you love the energy of crystals and want to explore more — or you have no idea what all the hoopla about the energy of crystals is about and would like to find out — you’ll want to mark your calendar for July 22 & 23rd. Lynn Wobig, the resident Crystal Healer at HBS, will be leading a Coffee & Convo on Saturday morning, July 22, talking about the power and purposes of crystal grids as a lead-in to the next day’s chance to come experience them for yourself!
We will have 10 crystal grids laid out in the Studio, each surrounding a yoga mat and large enough for a person to lay down inside. The crystals for each grid will be chosen to boost a particular kind of energy — e.g. Strength, or Joy, or Creativity. Each hour, we will usher in 10 people who will get to rotate through each of the grids, spending 5 minutes soaking up the energy of each grid before moving on to the next one. As those who’ve had a chance to do this before will tell you, the energy from these grids can blow you away.
Space IS limited though, so advance registration is strongly encouraged. If you get lucky and happen to show up for a round that isn’t already full, we’re happy to accept walk-ins, but if you want to make SURE you get to experience the power of these grids — and why wouldn’t you?? — you’ll want to call ahead and reserve your space. The Coffee & Convo is free and the Crystal Grid Experience is just $15.
Hope to see you all there!

We should post a sign: “Beware … bra
gging ahead.”
But is it bragging, if it’s just a true fact?? We think not.
True Fact: We have the best customers in the world, bar none. We are constantly in awe at the great community that has built up here and, if we are Columbia’s “Best Metaphysical Supply Store” (and if it’s on a plaque, it must be true, right??), it is unquestionably thanks to all of you out there who so generously share of your time, talents (and yes, money — we do have to pay the rent after all!) to create the wonderful experience that has become HBS.
So high fives all round, crew!

New le
ather journals have arrived –with fabulous tooled designs front and back and many with handmade paper, to boot. There’s just something about a new leather journal — apart from the smell, which has Michelle and Kayla sniffing them on a regular basis. We have the large sketchbook size, the more typical ‘book size’, all the way down to small 3×4 ones you can tuck in your pocket for your walk.
Treat yourself and leave a legacy at the same time. Your thoughts are worth it. Truly. (Okay, it also works for grocery lists and random phone numbers, but … hey. )

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 Bodhisattvas, Saints, Ascended Masters, Secret Chiefs, and Inner Plane Adepts in other traditions, witches know our ancestors as the Hidden Company or The Mighty Dead. 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. Learn to understand the nature of the Mighty Dead and how to work directly with them for your own healing and evolution and in your work in the worlds of flesh and spirit. Work with ancestral altars, oracular skulls, and spiritual merging. Learn to find guides, teachers, healers, and partners within the order of the Mighty Dead.
October 13-14 (Sat & Sun), 2018

Adrian will review the seven levels of leadership, walk you through the findings of your assessment — including how much of your energy is in the ‘catabolic-suppressing’ range and how much in the ‘anabolic-inspirational’ range — and show you how you can actually alter your energy index to move yourself into a higher level of leadership performance. There are no limits to the personal growth you can achieve with the right tools.
