Eye of Horus

With only giving a few names and no other information, Thraicie’s reading for me was extremely precise. I am glad I booked a full hour and wish I could’ve talked with her longer. She gave me deeper understanding and peace about a bad situation, also helped me focus on what I can do to try to fix it. She is very gifted.

Awesome.
The merchandise isn’t really my style, but there are a lot of interesting things — and the store smells amazing. The tarot readings by Thraicie are so so worth it. She’s very professional and friendly, and I swear she has the most incredible talent at reading tarot. I swear by her! The. Best. Ever.

I came in some months ago to check out their new shop. I had not been in an occult bookstore/​supply shop in a bit and wanted to reconnect with what was an important part of me. So I was looking around. The woman behind the counter was friendly, although not very open. The main proprietor came in, stood at the counter, and just blasted me with hostility and hate. No wonder they had to move, each time to a smaller place. They are literally blasting away business and opportunity.

Let me say first that the reason I’m posting this Unilocal review is because the staff at the Eye deleted my review through their online tarot reading service, GenBook. So when you go to their website and click on «book now» and see that there are 179 «verified» reviews, know that they hide all the reviews that aren’t 5 stars (as you will see after about 15 seconds of investigation). They limit the # of characters you can use in your GenBook review so I used abbreviations, but here is, verbatim, my original GenBook review of my tarot card reading with Zack on May 8, 2015 — the review that they chose not to display with their other verified reviews.
«Zack’s tone, not the unpleasant content of reading, is reason for2stars.(Thracie gave me unpleasant news1year ago-​still5star read) Zack certainly enjoys hearing sound of his own voice, went on&on abt how he disagrees w/​me that people have1soulmate, then insulted me:[referring to 7cups]‘u’re a beautiful woman but I wouldn’t want to be in a relationship w/​u either.‘Took 35min to give me 15min reading, interrupted me, told me there’s nothing I can do to bring my soulmate2me (HangedMan/5ofCups).Total waste.»
I want to be clear here that the shop space itself is pleasant, so no complaints there, and my previous experiences with a Reiki session from Allison and a tarot reading from Thracie were 5 stars both. No complaints. But my experience with Zack made me feel so gross and insulted that I will never go back to that shop for anything — ever.
His tone is that of a pedantic college professor who believes that the words coming out of his mouth are pearls of wisdom that are unmatched in value and in fact are so valuable that not only will he take your money, he will steal your time, precious minutes that you can never have back. I wanted and asked for a 15 minute reading. He couldn’t shut up for 35 minutes.
Right off the bat, he corrected me. Yes, you read that right — he explained to me that I am in fact wrong in my belief that people have one soulmate and then he overshared that he thought he had met his soulmate in the past and she turned out not to be. In his inability to realize that he is simply human and misinterpreted feelings of attraction for soulmate love, he falsely concluded there is no such thing as a soulmate at all. Now, to give us both the benefit of the doubt, he could be right and so could I. But for him to tell me that I am wrong is totally unprofessional and flat-​out rude. If he couldn’t give me a reading based on the question I asked, then he should have said so and ended it there rather than saying, «I’ll ask the cards for the future based on this person you are thinking of.»
He gave me conflicting information — the soulmate won’t come into my life *and* it’s a professional person I should already know. Either way, he said, I’ll be disappointed. He also very strangely interpreted the 7 of cups (Thoth tarot) to mean that I have a ton of baggage (I read the cards myself for others — even within the context of shadow and nuance inherent to the Thoth deck, this makes little sense) and actually said to me, based on this card, that though I’m physically attractive, he wouldn’t want to be in a relationship with me either. What a weak self-​centered aspect of his own shadow he revealed. He has nothing to do with it. He has nothing to do with my question about my future. And his personal assessment of the quality of my appearance should have nothing to do with how he interprets the cards. Also, he couldn’t stop stroking his beard! It was so embarrassing.
But the fact that someone there made the decision to hide my review on GenBook is unacceptable. The truth is that the 179 reviews aren’t all positive. Avoid Zack for a reading. I had an incredible reading over Skype with a reader who goes by Madame Pamita if you’re looking for the real thing.
I just remembered the part where Zack told me that he didn’t want to be crude, but I would need to satisfy myself other ways — «‘you know what I mean,» he said. Ha! What an idiot.

Listed to a man who worked there make racist comments the entire time I was in there along with commenting on music playing from people’s car. Very bad vibe

What an incredible experience. I highly recommend checking this spot out– from incense to candles to crystals, jewelry, books… Readings… They have it all. Excellent energy. Had a reading by Christian, and was truly blown away. I’m so glad I was recommended here!

I’ve been going to this store for years and absolutely love it. Since the first time I wandered in when they were just north of Lake on Lyndale, to my visit today and all the visits in between.
This is a metaphysical book store. They sell lots of books, tarot cards, calenders and meditation and spiritual guides. Looking for something particular? The staff has always been eager to help. Maybe someone you know is interested in the paranormal? They have a smaller selection of books about ghost hunters, haunted homes, etc.
The tarot selection is fantastic, and I love looking over them all when I visit. They have many guide books on how to interpret tarot cards, but maybe that isn’t your kind of thing! Never worry, you can schedule an appointment to have your tarot cards read by going on their website, or setting it up in person.
I come here to check out their fantastic incense collection. They carry many of the other Nag Champa varieties that other places don’t sell, and lots of loose incense blends that you can’t find anywhere else!
Overall, I encourage you to stop in and look around. You may find something you really like!

Eye of Horus is not just a store — to me it is something of a community center. Why? Because of the great classes and meet-​ups they sponsor, at very reasonable cost. I’ve learned a lot there and met some great folks.
The owners and staff are friendly and helpful. They know their stock and they know how to help you. They can help you find and order just about anything.
The current location is smaller than previously, but it is cozier and nicely decorated.
I’ve had tarot and psychic readings from several readers there over the years. They are always professional, sensitive, and helpful.
Overall, this is one of my favorite places to shop or just hang out.
