VintageMama asked this question on 3/8/2000:

I have been a practicing pagan for 5 years, but I have practiced alone, without coven. I am opening a shop, and I'll be carrying tarot cards, wiccan jewelery, and other items which will bring other witches into my shop. Here's my problem. I'm afraid I've been alone too long! I'm not sure I'll know how to protect myself from witches who intend harm, and invite friendships with white witches. This is a tough-y for me! I don't want to be so open, that I invite in the wrong kinds of energy, but I don't want to be so closed that I keep potential friends out!

The main thing is to take that fear out of your mind. Remember the law of attraction: what we think, we create. If it helps, cast psychic mirrors around the building where your shop will be. And I think that now that you've posted this question here, it will also be of help that our energies will be with you... :-)

Blessings to you and your enterprise!
