  Posted By admin

We could tell you all about this wonderful new show, Through the mind of Onayemi Ogunkoye, As Above So Below, currently hanging on the north wall in our upstairs art gallery, but we’ll just extend the invitation for you to come and hear Onayemi Ogunkoye in person on Saturday, May 15th at 7 p.m. when he will present his work and give a drum demonstration. The event is free, but space is limited, so come early to get a seat. Refreshments will be available.

In His Own Words – the Artist and the Orisha

Onayemi
Onayemi Drumming

My name is Onayemi, given to me by Orisha through my Iyalosha Oyabi Wangara. Onayemi means the profession of Artist suits me.

I have been commissioned by Orisha to do this body of Orisha Art that continues to grow. These images don’t come from me they come through me. When I begin to work on a piece, I summon the Spirit of the Orisha that I am working on. That Orisha directs me in the production of the piece.

The words that are offered  here are brief explanations of the Orisha presented in the show.

To celebrate the show Through the mind of Onayemi Ogunkoye, As Above So Below, I will present and discuss Orisha along with a drum demonstration (free).

Sproing! They’re Here . . .

  Posted By admin

It looks like spring is ready to go already this year, so I guess we’re blessed with the luck of the Irish.  Maybe it was the Yeats quote I posted on our social networks today:

“Come Fairies, take me out of this dull world, for I would ride with you upon the wind and dance upon the mountains like a flame!” ~William Butler Yeats

FirstCrocus
First Blooms 2010

Yes, we have our first Crocus Blooms coming up in the area between the labyrinth and our Goddess Garden. Just two so far, but the rest are getting ready to go, as well.  They are kind of flame like, to go with the poem, too.

To give you an idea of how early this is, I just want to point out that our first Crocus Bloom in 2008 was on April 9th.

Going back through the Labyrinth Journal, I see I didn’t quite keep up with the bloomin’ pictures last year.  Expect to see quite a bit more this year.  It also looks like there will be quite a few more spring blooms, too.  This is our third year for some of the Tulips and Crocus, which means we’ll have more than ever to break up the monotony of slushy muddy spring.

Though, I must admit, it doesn’t ever quite feel like spring has arrived until the Lilacs are blooming.  I think of the Crocus here as our heralds, letting us know spring is indeed on its way.  Blessed be on this All Snakes Day!  I also think the Fairies like us. We’ll have to be sure to put out some cream and honey tonight in thanks.

Better Book Browsing

  Posted By admin

BookNookEatReadSleep
Eat Sleep Read

We’re proud to present our new, expanded, more user-friendly book section.  All of the books scattered out front have been moved into this new book nook, and as we add a couple more book-cases, we’ll even be adding more titles.

We’ve decided 2009 is the year of the book at Eye of Horus, and we are working more directly with publishers than ever before.  We hope to be able to have more author events, as well.

Part of our bookish effort was joining the American Bookseller’s Association and becoming an Indiebound store. In our welcome packet we got this awesome red poster, but it was huge (3 feet wide by 6 feet tall), and we couldn’t figure out what to do with it until we decided to put on one of the doors.  It’s a simple poster, in a classic Helvetica type font, and it reads Eat, Sleep, Read.  At the bottom it adds a reminder to support independent stores like ours.  For the bibliophile, that pretty much says it all.  Red is also a lovely Feng Shui activating color, especially on doors, so we just take that as a bonus value.

In fact, by changing the book section from a single corridor to a room you can walk around, and one with south-facing windows, we’ve completely re-energized the back of the store.  We’re still working on some of the detailing, but we think you’ll have a much more pleasant experience, especially when there are more than a couple of browsers.

Highlight Table
Highlight Table

To enhance the flow, we added a feature table in the middle of the room to highlight themes or hot new titles, and of course, now there are books on all four walls.  Admittedly, with three doors and a window, we don’t have as much book space as we might like, but you are pretty much surrounded by books.  It’s sort of a huggy feeling, at least if you’re a book-lover like me, and think books can give you a metaphorical hug.

In addition to having more room for browsers, we even added a bench under the window for you to sit on as you peruse a title or two, so you don’t have to sit on the floor unless you really, really want to.  We know, we know, we could have added more shelving under the window, but for now, we’ll just focus on making it a more pleasant experience if you need to take a load off, or if you are waiting for a Tarot or Psychic reading.  So here are some more pictures for you to get a preview, but we invite you to come on in, and do tell us what you think about it!
