Dearly beloved magical community,
We miss you! It’s been lovely to hear from our friends and clients; your messages of support mean the world to us!
We are writing to you with an update from inside our shuttered shops:
First, we are happy to announce that we now have an online store! Please visit http://www.theravenswing.com/shop to place an order for your magical supplies. We are shipping to anywhere in the US, so please share this link with your extended communities. And check back often, we will continue to add items to our online shop.
Second, we are continuing to take phone orders for shipping and for pick up from both the Oakland and Portland locations. If you don’t see what you need on the website, give us a call from 1pm to 6pm Tuesday through Saturday. We are still excited to help you make your own magic!
Third, our readers are still available by phone! Book your appointment here: https://theravenswing.com/book-a-reading
Last, we’d like to update you on us. We don’t know when we will be able to reopen our stores, but we are certain to be running these reduced hours on a no-contact basis throughout April. We are even staying distant from each other! Our managers are working to build and maintain our website and online store and to take and fulfill orders. In the meantime, we’ve applied to new government programs to secure ongoing funding for continued operations, and we have so far kept all of our staff. We are currently paying our hourly staff to stay home and stay safe.
While we wish we could be together and share our magic in person, it’s up to all of us to do what’s best. Please, do what you can to keep yourself and your communities safe. Let’s not wish for “back to normal”--instead, let’s wish for better than before. Send your energies toward a kinder, more just world for everyone. Keep praying for health and for peace. Keep spinning your webs of intention, and watch them manifest great change. Magic STILL happens every day!
If you have a safe and stable situation, and you are able to help our neighbors, consider reaching out to local mutual aid organizations or financially supporting your local food bank.
Alameda County Community Food Bank https://www.accfb.org/
San Francisco - Marin Food Bank
https://www.sfmfoodbank.org/
Oregon Food Bank
https://www.oregonfoodbank.org/
And if you need help, these same organizations can help facilitate access to food and other resources.
Take care of yourself and each other,
Iris, Jenny, Grey and Andi
The Raven's Wing Magical Co Management Team
