I could never find a store in Springfield that would carry goods for practicing Wicca, so I ended up going all the way to West Haven, Connecticut. In a way, it was worth it. Yet again, I'm not too sure I was completely satisfied. They have shelves full of books, that when I saw them, all I could do was stare. The books seemed to be all in pretty good condition, so there was no complaint about that. Some of the other items - like those that are made out of silver - were somewhat rusty. Not only that, but the store needed a major sweeping. There was dust everywhere, and I felt I was going to die from my allergies. But yes, they do stock many things that one would need in ritual. The only thing you have to be careful about is children purchasing athames (ritual knives). The lady who worked there, she didn't even ask me for identification to see if I was as old as I said I was. Well, if I had lied, I guess karma would bite me in the butt, but still. That little part there isn't too safe.
