Wild Witch Vintage

It's been a crazy year, it all started March 2020.. I was tarot reading in the shop, and at least 6

.

months before the pandemic ravaged Italy, every person who had a reading got the cards for

.

"look after your health", to the point I started saying, it must be the stresses of life but this is

becoming a real theme with every single person!! but in my wildest imagination, a modern day

.

plague just never entered my head.

.

My final Tarot Reading was for a lovely business lady I know, the reading went really well, after

.

the reading we hugged.. I think Italy was seriously in the plaque zone, & you would think we

,

were a good distance from Italy, sat in Louth, but no, my Tarot Client's next door neighbour's

.

had just returned from the very part of Italy that had been seriously hit, & yet! within two days of

.

.the pandemic hitting the news, I was just 2 hugs away from the danger zone.

.

So it was a no brainer to close the shop instantly, my Mum is on the vunerable list, and the first

,

year we opened the shop we both caught the flu, so we shut down, before anyone, it was in the

.

cards it was going to get worse..

.

The first thing I have to say is that we made some wonderful friends in the shop, & met some

.

fantastic people, Louth is a really nice English Country Town.

.

But! if I am to be really honest, the day to day running of a little shop in a little town after two

.

years was starting to become a chore, leaving our beautiful home and my pets on a cold dark

.

.winter morning to stand in a shop all day,.& the extra overheads are just a drag.. who wants 2 of

.

every bill..2 electricity bills, 2 water rates, etc I really pity anyone with a shop now..

.

I have run shops since the 1990's, & I have to say shops are not what they were, they are old

.

school, even I never buy in shops, who wants to sit in a shop all day, like a Spider waiting.. lol

.

The internet is amazing.. its freedom, to check everything out!! I Love it..

.

I love to buy online, clicking around for the best buys and the

.

choices are endless, you still get the same interaction with your customers and the net is

.

massive, in the last month alone I have sold to,

.

Japan, Switzerland, Germany, Italy, Canada, USA, New York & South Carolina,

the only downside just now..2021

.

is the speed due to Covid!! patience is required when buying & selling abroad!

to close the doors was a liberating experience, the only way we would ever go back to trading in

.

a town would be in a small way, I have twice been offered a room in a shop in town by two

.

different people.. a room would be enjoyable... But! stuck to a whole building day in - day out..

.

when we can sell online.. why would we!! WWV may well evolve again.. but 2021 we are happily

.

travelling the magickal superhighway.

.

So its a crazy thing to say, but my Tarot Cards and the evil pandemic made us change our

.

direction for the better, & we have never been Happier, selling from our little ebay, etsy and this

.

website it's a pure joy!.

.

I'm so grateful that I am a real empathic, witch.. I feel the reality & know the fake!.
