By Palak Jayswal and Stefene Russell | Oct. 16, 2022, 12:00 p.m.A customer from out of town recently walked into Crone’s Hollow, the South Salt Lake metaphysical shop, and was surprised to find such a store in Utah.
Durriken Homewood, the manager of the store at 3834 S. Main, happily informed them why the store thrives here: “The stronger the stronghold, the stronger the counterculture.”
Metaphysical stores — defined in a 2021 Religion News Service article as “not only retail shops but spiritual centers” — have received a boost recently, following a rise in interest in the topic on social media, particularly in TikTok subsets such as #TarotTok and #WitchTok.
Crone’s Hollow fits that bill. Inside, there’s no shortage of assortment of retail options: A mini apothecary behind the counter, an incense area, tarot card decks. In the back, there’s a room for full and dark moon rituals and Sabbath classes. Toward the front, there’s a room for tarot readings.
“Witchcraft itself has always been very quiet,” Homewood said. “We’ve started to see a resurgence of it thanks to TikTok. We don’t represent the counterculture, but we are a part of it.”
Occasionally, Homewood said, people will come in to protest what’s on sale, expressing their offense at Ouija boards or “Hail Satan” t-shirts. Homewood said he just rolls with it.
“It’s not my job to correct them,” he said. “Oftentimes, nothing will change another person’s mind if they’re that set in their ways.”

The store’s most popular products, he said, are the stones and crystals. Homewood attributes that to what he called “crystal culture,” which he said has peaked over the last few years — though jewelry designers have said interest in crystals grew during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Like its existence in Utah, Crone’s Hollow also has an origin story that’s different that what one might expect. “It was created as a way of dealing with grief,” Homewood said, when Roy Moorman — guardian of the Earth Haven coven, one of the longest-running covens in Salt Lake City — died in 2010 in a car accident.
“Members of his coven got together and wanted to find a way to honor him and to put all their grief into it,” Homewood said. “Crone’s Hollow was the outgrowth of that.”
Rita Morgan and TaMara Gold launched the store in 2011, according to the store’s website. Moorman’s ideals, Homewood said, were embodied in the store’s mission statement: To provide a safe place for people to practice authentic craft. (Morgan died in 2019, and her daughter April became Gold’s business partner.)
Though all metaphysical stores sell similar goods, Homewood said, “this is what makes Crone’s Hollow so special. It flowered from a place of grief and is [now] a place of joy.”

Spoox, A Spooky Boutique (3453 S. State, South Salt Lake) is where “Halloween is a lifestyle, not a holiday.” The shop is guarded by an anatomical skeleton named Rick R. Mortis, and sells both new and vintage goods (recent offerings included an Edwardian wheelchair and ‘70s tabletop games like the Shrunken Head Apple Sculpture).
Golden Braid Books (151 S. 500 East, Salt Lake City) is possibly Salt Lake City’s first New Age store, but now it’s standard to find New Age stuff everywhere, including Murray (The Pleiadian Altar, 917 Vine St.), and Tremonton (The Crystal Corner, 21 S. 320 West). There are also free-floating communities that hold events with a metaphysical flavor, such as Spiritually Boujee in Ogden.

Reviews for "Love, friendship, and magic: The Care Bears take over HBO Max"
1. Jane - 2/5 stars - I was excited to watch "The Care Bears Unleash the Magic" on HBO Max as I grew up watching the original Care Bears series. However, I was disappointed with this new installment. The storyline felt disjointed and rushed, with little time given to develop the characters or their motivations. The animation was also subpar, lacking the charm and vibrancy of the original series. Overall, I found it difficult to connect with the characters or become invested in the plot, making it a forgettable experience.
2. Mark - 1/5 stars - This new Care Bears show on HBO Max is a complete disappointment. The writing is weak and lacks originality, with predictable and cliché plots that have been done countless times before. The animation looks cheap and lacks the attention to detail that made the original series so appealing. Additionally, the voice acting feels forced and lacks the warmth and authenticity of the original Care Bears. I would not recommend wasting your time on this lackluster attempt to revive a beloved franchise.
3. Sarah - 2/5 stars - As a fan of the original Care Bears, I had high hopes for "The Care Bears Unleash the Magic" on HBO Max. Unfortunately, those hopes were dashed. The characters felt flat and one-dimensional, lacking the depth and complexity that made the original series so endearing. The dialogue was often cringeworthy and the humor fell flat. While the animation was decent, it couldn't make up for the overall lackluster storytelling and character development. I was left feeling unfulfilled and nostalgic for the original Care Bears series.
