Spring 2023Nature’s Elements: discover your inner magic
New mystical shop opens in Newhey, helping people discover their inner magic.
Nature’s Elements is based on Shaw Road and is run by Sue Hancox, who has dreamed of her own ‘witchy’ shop for years.
It stocks all manner of incense and essential oils, runes and dreamcatchers, spell candles and jars, and other similar items, including handmade Pagan/Wiccan jewellery, books and mugs, and wall hangings.
Sue, who also runs the Bart’s Legacy cat sanctuary, said: “I love all things associated with Paganism, and Native American and Celtic cultures. I’ve been wanting to open a ‘witchy’ shop for the last couple of years, but it’s never been the right time.
“Witchcraft is about understanding nature. I want the shop to be unique, I want it to have something that the other witchy shops don’t have, as each one has their own unique specialty.”
Nature’s Elements is open every day, except for Tuesdays and Wednesdays.
