Over the past year i have made it my goal to come out of my shell, and try to be social, I came across a post The Magic Cottage posted in a local Facebook Group.
It was Called Open Spiritual circle social evening this was my chance to get to know people as the event was free !!!
As i entered the shop, i was shocked to see how wonderful it was, my eyes already scanning around the shops looking at the products being sold.
I never knew the shop was there, because In Grantham there is a small selection of shops tucked away there is even a comic book store in this quaint Neighborhood of shops.
The owner of the shop Wednesday Bergeron Greeted me, made me welcome instantly, she also got the people that was already there to introduce themselves and i had that feeling when i walked into the shop that it was going to be a great night (:
my eyes were drawn straight away to these epic Harry potter Cushions i think they are, so colorful,
well made, and o, so one for your collection of Harry potter items,
Be Warned we can track you with the marauders map !!!!! Haha, Lets just say you will a very empty wallet Fan due to the overwhelming collection of products !!!
After a few Minutes over scanning the shop, my attention was drawn to a table, where we could help ourselves to Butter Beer !!!! you would think it was a harry potter themed night haha, but Omg, the drink was so sweet, so delicious, lets just say, i would bankrupt myself in that shop just buying that that drink, it reminded me when i went to the harry potter world in London, it was there when i frist tried it, i fell in love with it then, and i could happily drink it for the rest of my life (:
If that was not enough to win you over, on a social meeting !!! Homemade, Harry potter shaped Frogs, inside some of them you could taste oreos, coco pops and much more.
I sadly did not get any photos of this, due to it being my first time meeting, and you do not want to stick a camera in someone face lol.
Lets just say, this frogs, need to classed as the best in the world from the people that made the first ever frogs, because they are worth buying, and worth being discovered (:
The picture above is of the table which the yummy treats were on, i cant remember what they were, but some more people joined the meet, and brought some treats with them (:
For the first 30 Minutes i was a bit quiet, listening to what people was talking about, everyone just had a good time talking to each other, and even making me laugh at the topics they were talking about.
Wednesday came over to have a chat, as the place was now getting full, with around 15 people being there, she tired to get round to everyone to have a chat (:
she asked me if i knew was a pagan was which i had no idea what one was, she did tell me but since then i have forgot so here is a little write up based from the net what one is (:
Soruced from everythingunderthemoon.net
The word pagan originally meant someone who lived in the country. Over time the meaning has changed so that now it denotes mean someone who follows a nature-based religion. This religion sometimes includes magic and/or magical thinking. Paganism joins science, metaphysics, and mysticism with spirituality. It is a broad term that includes a wide range of faiths that accept one, many, or no god. But most pagans reject the views of God which are accepted by Jews, Christians and Muslims. Pagans stress personal responsibility rather than salvation given by something outside of themselves.
Coming to the event does not mean you have to be into Paganism, The Magic Cottage puts on events, to bring people together as a social element, something i think Grantham needs more off.
Last year, i was searching, for meet up groups, and i fount a website called Meetup.com,
this was a world wide site, connecting groups of people together to go for pub meals, days out and much more.
For the fact of the cost of these events, and the fact that i was not very social and to be it did not feel like the right sort of group i wanted to be in, where as the event at the magic cottage, was indeed my sort of people.
A number of things made the night great, an amazing scent, filled the room, as well as really soft chilled out music, just made you feel relaxed, having the yummy treats helped made people talk more, and i fount myself more and more just being able to be myself, and got talking to people.
The shop may seem small on the outside but the shop also has a upstairs full of books !!!
This is where i am guessing the Tarot Reading sessions also take place as you can see with the cards on the table (:
Speaking of what more this shop offers often most weeks are classes you can join from
-MagickalMeditation Monday Group
-Beginners spell crafting course-Intermediate spell crafting course and other events that happen throughout the year !!!
As you can see these events go down well, as a lot of people turn up, I believe this picture is from one of the weekly events (:
a hour in and i am already on my second butter beer !!! hehe could not help myself, just to freaking Delicious not to let them sit on the table.
Wednesday has mention that one of the members of the group was also into photography,
so i went over to this person, and it felt like we knew each other for years, just clicked, talking about how much time you spend on photos, taking them editing them, that frustrating moment when you have edited the picture, but then you question it about 5 times, making more and more tweaks till it is just right !!!!
We then got talking about the mental health services in Lincolnshire, not going to go on about that as i have done way to much of that in other posts (:
we then moved onto TV shows, speaking about shows that got cancelled that were epic, and you feel empty, knowing you will never get to know where more these shows could of gone.
It started to rain so we headed back inside the shop, again just finding myself the need to keep looking around as it was all just so breath taking !!!
Sadly 2 hours were up, and it was time to say goodbye, i could honestly say that i only wish that i knew about the place and the amazing group of people much sooner in my life.
its really hard to explain, but it felt, like living in a movie scene where, your in a club, After school, where you all meet, in a environment like the magic cottage, or a shop event, like most american tv shows or movies portray.
It reminded me of a slightly different time but had the same feeling and impact of the night.
This was when i lived In Nottingham and studying Music Technology at confetti studios.
The college often had events on after 6pm, game events, movie nights, were you could just get to know each other and enjoy what ever was on offer at the time.
I honestly do feel there is a lack of this In Lincolnshire as a whole, the world is becoming to Internet based and sometimes, its great to get away from that, and just chat with like minded people.
I feel sorry for poor miss Wednesday having to not only run her business but put on these wonderful events, she is so hard working, and you can tell by the business she runs, the products in store even products she has made herself, and then taking her time, to help people discover spell craft, she is also a very smart and knowledge social media person and knows the important factors of how to get her products out there !!!!
Sometimes when your working so hard, you need that bit of laughter to make your day,
To me the place just felt like home, it was where i was meant to be, and with the people that i had common interests with, i may struggle to talk to people, be in big groups but given the right topic to talk about, and suddenly i am a new person hehe (:
So after such a wonderful evening i could not help myself but try to help the only way i know how to with photography and letting people know about this gem of a business.
I went there the next day to take the photography, having a nice lovely chat with the owner, exploring upstairs, seeing a customer spend over 50 pounds !!!!! and having her friends make her laugh, through the window while taking a pictures (:
you start to realize that Grantham has a lot more to offer then you know, you just have to find it !!!
so why not pop in , have a look around, heck even come to the social meeting, make yourself know, make new friend and lets start Building a community In Grantham (:
