Love Altar

Here at the store we host a public altar corner. This month it is set up for Valentine's Day. There are heart shaped chocolates, red candles, incense for love and affection and a book of love!

Book of Love
This little book is for everyone. Come in and write your memories of love. Tell the divine your concerns. Make a wish and add it to the book. Write a love poem. List the wonderful things your beloved does for you. Anything at all.

We at the store add to the energy of this wonderful book, by lighting the candles and burning the incense to pass your words to the divine. May all your wishes and dreams of love come true.


How Do I Love Thee?
by Elizabeth Barrett Browning

How do I love thee? Let me count the ways.
I love thee to the depth and breadth and height
My soul can reach, when feeling out of sight
For the ends of Being and ideal Grace.

I love thee to the level of everyday's
Most quiet need, by sun and candlelight.
I love thee freely, as men strive for Right;
I love thee purely, as they turn from Praise.

I love thee with the passion put to use
In my old griefs, and with my childhood's faith.
I love thee with a love I seemed to lose
With my lost saints,--I love thee with the breath,
Smiles, tears, of all my life!--and, if God choose,
I shall but love thee better after death.
