Shop Review: Summoning the Season of the Witch at 'Seekers'  (4/5)

 

 

(Located on Sinner Street, the storefront to the left of 'Gear and Clothing')

 

Rating: 💋💋💋💋

 

I don't know if you know this about me, babes, but I'm a total Love Witch. My heart beats and I can feel the thrum thrum thrum of ships sailing off to foreign Troy. My face pouts and ceasefires are called. I scream and the court appointed psychologist groans. We've all got a bit of magic at our fingertips, whether you're a bohemian artist conjuring dystopian vistas beyond man's furthest recognition or a stylish fashion designer creating luxuriant cuts of fine fabrics for personal adornment. Conjuring reality from imagination is one of the fronts Los Santos is most underrated on. But even these everyday magicians sometime need a little pep in their step, a few tools in their shed to do their duty and do it well. 

Thus lying on Sinner Street, quite close to The Crypt in Sinner's Alley... is Seekers. A metaphysical supply shop for all ones needs. Let's see how they fared my discerning eye.

The selection is expansive and accessible to novices all the way to adepts! 🔮

 

 

(The variety is mindboggling yet accessible)

 

Ding ding ding, this is my absolute favorite part of Seekers! The actual supplies! Okay so here's the low-down babes, metaphysical supply shops can come in three varieties. Crystal-mom pop-occultist shops that sell books by Llewelyn Ravenboob to suburban moms looking up to spicen up their day, ultra-elitist dark and musty old-book and dusty ingredient shops that have an air of up-their-own ass exclusivity wherein the staff assumes you should know everything, and the rarest type is the one that straddles both worlds. I'm happy to say whether you're aligning your Chakras to regain your husbands attention or doing your best to make your paces through the Ars Notoria to speed up your Ancient Greek acquisition for your latest go through of the Hygromanteia, this shop has supplies for you!

Ranging from the ever popular crystals to various dried herbs for personal practice, the pick up and go factor is legit and wonderful. They also have a really nice variety of tarot decks and they didn't neglect to stock a Crowley deck which in my opinion is one of the basic pitfalls these places can fall under.

 

Tarot readings and divination can also be ordered on-site which is lovely!

Oddly enough, they also supply GHOST-HUNTING equipment, which is sure to make for a fun and spooky Halloween. Just be careful what you ask for, because your just might get it. 

 

 Packed to the fangs with a cool-cat crowd! 🎉

Oh my gosh, I did not expect this place to be as busy as it was. First off, it's an unmarked storefront, but regardless droves and droves of spooky-season patrons came streaming in and out with their various baubles. This is the only place I am taking off a kiss and it's not technically due to the crowding. This shop is clearly doing well and is really popular, I think it's time of an expansion of space babes. Not only that, there are so many baby witches out there who don't know exactly what they're doing.... having a community space like a coffee shop attached might make a good space for community building. 

But if you really want to steal my heart have some space set aside for community ritual and workshops! That'd be super-duper cool, babes! As of now, the shop was a wee bit cramped.

 

Divinely inspired staff who are super helpful! 💛

Yeah so I didn't catch her name* but the cashier was exceedingly sweet, non-elitist, non-stuck-up. Just a genuinely happy person who likes her job. That's rare babe and Sister Strange here deserves every snap of the finger and every tip you can give. Judging by her, I can only assume the diviners on staff are just as kind, capable, and accessible! Muchos muchos kudos!!

* Update (11/3/23): Jenna commented on the article with her name so be sure to give her a warm hello next time you see her, Vixxxers <3333

ALL IN ALL

 

Babes, I'm genuinely, honest-to-Goddess super-duper fuckin' happy about this place. It was well put together, had excellent stock, and good humans all around. Just a lil crampage. A lil bitty crampyness. But if that's the biggest 'problem' like, whatever, y'know?

Lots of love to Seekers and my bat-oriented spooky-babes! 

Update: 

The owner of Seeker's is Claire Skye who I believe also does tarot readings for the establishment, swing by and take a peek into your own personal brand of chaos, babes!

Comment: Oh my gosh the serotonin I just received. Hi, I'm the owner, Claire Skye! Thank you so much for this review and I am SO happy you like it! Yeah, the problem is, I didn't design the place. It's been like this forever and I'm a little anxious to expand on it. I might reach out to an interior designer and see what can be done. Thanks again, fellow witch!

Comment: Hi Claire, don't worry tooooo much about that critique, love. I know there are tons of things outside of the control of business owner's directly like crowd behavior, 'bad nights', and yes, the bones of a business (the architecture).

Consider the 4/5 really really really fucking good, babe.

In my past article here I describe it like this

Mmmmm, yeah I vibe these businesses. They've got a certain va-va-fuckin'-voom to them. Four Kiss businesses have a unique vision and executive it effectively. They are not just accessible but desired to be accessed and face unique problems versus three kiss businesses and below. Usual pitfalls of Four Kiss businesses that keep them from the coveted Five Kiss rank are overcrowding or a narrow business scope, which are signs of needing expansion. In all the dimensions I assess a business, nightclub, or bar, they must be somewhat average in at least one of them to get knocked into this category.

 

Pretty fucking awesome if you ask me, babe, if your businesses only problem is that it's super cool and I want to see it grow! 

Anyhow, thanks for reading and I definitely need to pick up some more supplies soon.

XOXO,

Vixen
