For years, I navigated the mundane, trading my soul for a paycheck in a soul-crushing 9-to-5. However, the evenings were mine, a sanctuary where I transformed into a Rootworker, my hands weaving spells, tarot cards revealing hidden truths, and the air thick with the scent of potent magic.
Then, life threw a curveball. A health scare forced an unexpected retirement so I could focus on my own healing, leaving me adrift in a sea of uncertainty. Lost and directionless, I rediscovered the solace of books, the vibrant colors of art, and the thrill of the hunt at local thrift stores.
The Accidental Bookseller
My "book haul" posts on Instagram began attracting attention, particularly one vintage tome that had eluded a fellow collector for years. The unexpected sale ignited a spark – a realization that my passion for the occult could manifest in a new and exciting way. Soon, my Instagram feed overflowed with rare and vintage occult treasures, each post met with eager inquiries. The seed of 12th House Books was sown.
Naming the shop was a cosmic endeavor. "Strange Magic" and "Second Life Books" were already taken. Then, I turned to the stars. In astrology, the 12th House governs the hidden, the unseen, the mystical – the perfect domain for a store specializing in the occult. Using "electional astrology" to pinpoint the most auspicious moment, 12th House Books was born in 2022.
Stacking Shelves and Building Dreams
Initially focused on rare and vintage occult books from the 50s to the 90s, 12th House Books has evolved. Now, you'll find an enchanting array of amulets and talismans, hand-sewn poppets, shimmering crystal pendants, and decks of tarot and oracle cards. Divination services, drawing upon the wisdom of astrology and the insights of the tarot, have also been added to the offerings. But 12th House Books is more than just a shop; it's a curated collection of the strange and the unusual, a treasure trove of curiosities.
At 12th House Books, customer satisfaction is paramount. I believe in going the extra mile. Every order is shipped swiftly and thoughtfully, accompanied by a handwritten thank you note and a touch of magic – a crystal, a unique bookmark, witchy stickers, or an uplifting affirmation card.
So, delve into the mysteries of the 12th House. Discover rare finds, experience the magic, and let your journey of exploration begin.
