In my previous posts you have heard me talk about the store Amethyst and how connected I am to this spiritual store. I have done some spiritual work out of the store and have worked many days at the front desk helping customers. This spiritual store is a huge part of my book and I thought for this Blog post it would be nice to hear from the owner Tricia of how Amethyst came to be;

Divine Guidance – A Story of Inspiration & Trust

I would like to introduce myself. My name is Tricia Booker and I was born in Perth Ontario December 08, 1975 at 4:00am. My sun is in Sagittarius, my rising is in Scorpio and my moon is in Aquarius. I have always been drawn to tarot readings, astrology, psychic reading and the Moon.

I can remember as a child, laying on the backseat of my parent’s car trying to always find the Moon in the sky as we were driving. My mother told me I would ask her the same question every time I would see the Moon “Mom why is the Moon following us?” she would reply “the moon isn’t following us! We are moving and it just looks like that.”

I wanted to write something to inspire readers and customers on how the store came to be, and to never give up but always keep pushing forward no matter what it may look like. We all experience fear throughout our lives but no matter how much fear you may have anything is possible. I tell this to customers at Amethyst every single day. I also share daily with customers how Amethyst started.

When divine is guiding, it doesn’t take long for them to let you know it’s time to get to work. Before jumping into how Amethyst came to be, I need to start at the very beginning, before I realized the Universe was putting me on what I call the fast track, aligning and preparing me for what was to come.

October 2019, I joined a class called Introductory to Psychic Development by Trevor Couturier of Infinity Spiritual Healing. My Reiki Master Denise mentioned it to me thinking I would enjoy it. It was being held at her shop Lotus Wings. The class ran for five weeks. It was a really fun class. I was nervous though as I was with people that had seen spirit, felt spirit and could communicate with spirit. I sure did not do any of those things! I thought to myself maybe perhaps I shouldn’t have taken the class and it was out of my league. Me being me, I stuck with it knowing it came into my awareness for a reason.

This class is where I first met Erin Kay. When I first saw her, I thought she looked so familiar and asked if she was from around here. She said no she was from outside of Toronto a city called Brantford. I thought to myself no I definitely do not know her but I couldn’t get over the feeling as though we had met somewhere before. The introductory class went so well that Erin and I signed up the advanced class.

Our first night of the advanced class Erin and I met Michele Laughlin for the first time. We all felt very familiar with one and other, it was amazing!!! Michele has now been a mentor throughout this journey for both of Erin and myself. She is like our second mom.

Our third advanced class we were all sitting around chatting with each other. I had mentioned that it’s too bad someone wouldn’t open up a spiritual store in Carleton Place. A store that would also offer healing meditation classes, readings and healing merchandise. Trevor had mentioned that he had been asked to do something like this in Carleton Place but he knew it wasn’t for him. Keep in mind I had only suggested the idea. The next thing I knew Erin was jumping out of her seat saying “Oh I know of a storefront that just came available for rent, its right across the street from my work.” The next thing I knew others in the class were telling me if I were to open a store they would rent space from me to do readings, classes etc. I laughed, and told them I was only suggesting the idea. Well that idea became a reality and Amethyst was born!!!!!
