If I had stayed any longer, he would have started explaining his own Final Solution. This man is hateful, racist, bigoted, and extremely inappropriate. Purchase your spiritual books and objects elsewhere.
Cute but when you have a spiritual store and take 45 minutes to acknowledge a patron then have a hurry up and buy, I'm aggravating you being here kind of attitude, it gets you one star. Oh well, they lost out because I was prepared to buy and literally left because I was too uncomfortable. Not to mention getting mad when I ask about ordering online, very strange. Definitely wouldn't return.
I visited this shop after my Tai Chi instructor enthusiastically recommended it, and I can see why HE (a white man) would have a distinctly better experience than me (hispanic woman).
This books store is legendary !!! as is Thomass !! I first came to his shop in the 80s on a pilgrimage from Lauderdale When he was located on Clamatis!!! IT was a Magical place then as now!!
The store is small in space but massive in content. He has books on every health, religious, science, magical, etc. subject and many rare and out of print items as well. He of course has a great gem and miscellany collection; one of the best I have seen in the state. The owner is knowledgable about most the subjects at least to the point of getting you in the right area. He special orders most things if you need and can have them in 3-5 business days.
I went in with a friend who isn't interested in the occult but she's patient. We weren't in there that long but long enough I guess because the owner would not leave us alone. I couldn't look at the books without him standing barely a foot away and hovering. He said "you don't need to look at the books, just buy them." Great sales tactic! This guy also felt my friend up and didn't even give her that barely there foot of space between them. He ended up basically telling us to leave after maybe 20 minutes. It's a shame because this guy has an extensive library. Just a terrible salesman with a grouchy personality. Perhaps someone needs a good smudging.
When I was ready to pay he had no idea how to use the credit card machine and I had to wait around uncomfortably while he called tech support. As I was leaving he leaned in for a pat on my shoulder and then gripped my neck so forcefully that it was painful, and held me there, massaging, commenting that I as "as stiff as a 2X4". As if this weren't enough, he smells terrible and there are actual flies buzzing around him. I COULD NOT make this up if I tried.
Because I work in the hospitality industry in PBG, I have unfortunately extensive experience dealing with racist old men. But this shop owner took racist hate-rants to new levels. He derided "yellow-people" and "blacks" and described his theory of racial superiority, in which he insists that the closer you get to the equator, the more ignorant and inept the people are, ("The worst are in Ecuador!"). He insisted that Island-people are also inferior (I pointed out that the UK is an island and he didn't really know how to consolidate that).
While the owner, Tamás, was very eager to help me and guide me in my search for a pendulum, he was extremely forceful and critical of certain spiritual/health practices that I mentioned I enjoy, like yoga and Tai Chi. He said they were a waste of my time.
