Mystic Shoppe brings a bit of fantasy to B-Cjj h By Travis Irby StoffWriter A Texas A&M student’s has un dertaken the mystical endeav or to bring something out of the ordinary to downtown Bryan. The Mystic Shoppe at 105 W. 26th St. in Bryan is a new business offering some common and not-so- common services to area patrons. The shop sells items ranging from the mystical, like healing can dles and talismans, to the practical, like coffee and pastries. Malcolm Alexander Moss, a sophomore business major, opened the Mystic Shoppe in September. “It started off a little slow, but as people have heard about us, busi ness has picked up,” Moss said. He says the store offers items rarely seen in the Bryan-College Station area. “We have items like chalices, handmade jewelry, holistic medi cines and books on religions,” Moss said. “The selections range from me dieval, African to Native American.” Moss said many of the items are locally produced. “Most of our stuff is handmade from area craftsmen and artists,” Moss said. Moss said he takes pride in the store’s diversity. “I wanted to have a multicultural feel in the store,” Moss said. “I don’t see a reason to exclude anyone.” Besides crafts like jewelry, the shop offers a variety of natural products, such as herbs, incense and candles. Moss said there is a demand for natural healing products. “Many people are looking to the holistic route these days,” Moss said. “They’re looking for a natural way to stay healthy.” Although some may be skeptical of such products, Moss said these remedies are often just as effective as mainstream remedies. Besides healing herbs, the Mys tic Shoppe has a library of eclectic books for the adventurous reader. Moss said he has assembled a se lection of hard-to-find literature. RONY ANGKRIWAN/The Battai i Goodin, a College Station resident, works at the Mystic Shoppe in Bryai I The shop offers a variety of books and other items, including Tarot cards. ' ■ “We have books on various forms of healing practices and eso teric religions,” Moss said. “We have authors like Edgar Cayce, books on Taoism and Shiastu massage. I think one would be hard-pressed to find a selection such as this at a chain bookstore.” Another aspect the store offers is an in-house reading room and cof fee shop. When customers enter u I wanted to have a multicultural feel in the store. I don’t see a reason to exclude anyone.” Malcolm Alexander Moss Owner of the Mystic Shoppe the store, they find a lounging area where people might be reading, playing games or drinking coffee. Moss said he put this area in the store to give people a place to get away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. “The store allows people to get away from campus to study, relax just hang out,” Moss said. j t( Kay Moss, a junior English maji shop employee and sister of M; colm Moss, said she is supportive. 1 ^ her brother’s venture. ^ “It is an ideal place to come ai discuss things you wouldn’t ort narily have a chance to discus: , Kay Moss said.
