Yes, The Eye Is Open!

  Posted By

You heard that right; the Eye of Horus is open for business. We’re here to help you with all your magical and metaphysical needs during these trying times. Those of you who have already been in the store know that our layout is a little different than usual, and we’ve taken a lot of precautions to protect both ourselves and our customers. We have temporarily blocked off most of the store for browsing and are offering a personal shopping experience. Our sales associates are happy to get what you need and help you browse for all the sage, stones, candles, decks, books, and more that you need.

Here’s what you can expect on a shopping trip to the Eye of Horus during Covid-19:

  • All shoppers are required to wear masks that cover the nose and mouth. If you don’t have a mask, we can sell one to you for $1.
  • No more than two guests or parties in the store at a time.
  • We ask that each guest or party limit their shopping to 15 minutes. This allows us to help as many people as possible over the course of our day.
  • Hand sanitizer is provided and will be required to touch or browse any product.

We’ve also reduced our hours down; we’re now open noon to 6 pm, 7 days a week. We’re open all the time online, however, and we highly encourage you to browse and shop our website. Shipping is free for orders over $25, and curbside pickup is available. If you don’t see what you want on the website, we can also take orders over the phone at 612-872-1292 during regular business hours.

We sincerely appreciate all our friends and fans, and we’re grateful for the patience and understanding everyone has shown us. We’re all in this together, after all, and we’re glad to be here for you during the difficulties we’re facing. Thank you and stay safe!

A Statement about Justice for George Floyd

  Posted By

Justice is not just blind.
Justice is handcuffed, hands behind back.
Justice is forced face down on the pavement.
Justice is pinned by knee on neck by the POlice.
Justice is weighed down by one, two, three, four POlice.
Justice says “sir” justice gasps for air, Justice can’t breath.
POlice says get up and get in the car.
Justice says “I will, I can’t, Let me Up”
Justice calls for Mama. Can’t breathe, can’t breathe, hurts everywhere.
Justice is dying.
Kids are begging, let him up, he can’t breathe.
Kids are filming.
POlice are in control. Justice is bleeding from the nose.
Justice is unresponsive. Still POlice hold him down.
Kids bear witness. An ambulance comes.

Where is Justice now? With George Floyd. He rests in power. But where is our Justice?

The City of Lakes burned. May the phoenix of Justice rise from the ashes.

Living Through the Tower

  Posted By

As I write this, Minneapolis is in turmoil. Protests over the murder of George Floyd at the hands of the police have quickly given way to riots. The Eye of Horus’ physical location is boarded up to protect it from damage. I personally live in a neighborhood surrounded by hot spots in every direction.

In times of uncertainty, I often turn to my tarot decks for guidance. Sometimes this comes in the form of readings, but more often it comes from meditations on the cards themselves and the meanings they hold. Early this morning, during a bout of insomnia, I began thinking on The Tower.

In tarot, The Tower is considered by many to be a Bad Card. One to be feared. An ill omen. After all, it represents a destruction that’s close to total if not fully total. It’s violent, sudden, catastrophic. It’s all human accomplishment being brought down in an instant.

But here’s the thing: there are no Bad Cards in tarot. The Tower does indeed usually mean destruction, but it also means wiping the slate clean. After the rubble has settled, there is the chance to rebuild. The chance to become better than before, to cast off old systems and avoid the mistakes of the past.

The card comes after The Devil, which is vice, materialism, and being chained to unhealthy thoughts and habits. It comes before The Star, the card of hopes, wishes fulfilled, and optimism. The destruction of The Tower is necessary. It’s transformative. No good evolution comes without struggle or loss. Fear of The Tower comes from living through that hardship and the uncertainty that follows.

There will never be peace until we acknowledge the pain of the past. We cannot move forward without admitting where we went wrong, admitting that we have performed grievous injury to people of color and allowed cruelty to become our comfort. Buildings can be rebuilt if they are destroyed. People cannot.

Please be safe out there. Please look out for each other, friends and strangers alike. We must elevate each other if we are to get past the rubble of this moment.
