Town goes crazy for Mysticals
It's not just a load of old crystal balls! So say folk in Wigan who have been flocking to spend their cash at a new psychic shop in the town.
Mysticals in Frog Lane has been inundated with customers since opening its doors three weeks ago.
Owner Lianne Veiga has had to completely re-stock after selling out of many items (including crystal balls) in the first week.
The psychic 36-year-old mum-of-five, already owns two successful shops in the south of England and decided to open her third shop in Wigan after moving to the area to be with her fiance, road constructor Darren Lockyer.
She met Darren when they stayed at the same hotel while she was on a psychic tour and they live in City Road, Pemberton. Lianne, who has worked on many psychic TV shows and is an agent for a host of well known mediums and psychics, was hopeful her shop would be a hit with
Wiganers, but is shocked by how quickly it has taken off.
She said: "I knew it would do well as people in Wigan are so spiritual. I learned this from doing psychic tours in this area in the past.
"But I didn't think it would do this well so quickly.
"In the first week we ran out of crystals, incense oils, candles and crystal balls. We had literally hundreds of tumble stones and they all went too. You expect a new business to run at a loss initially, but we are straight into profit."
Reiki healing at Mysticals has also gone down well. Lianne said: "One lady came in for reiki healing for problems with her neck. I did some healing and she went off happily for an appointment at the hairdressers.
"The next thing we knew we had everyone from the hairdressers coming in wanting the same treatment because they'd heard it was good. We get people of all ages."
Psychic and medium readings are also proving popular at the shop. Lianne and her fellow psychics are even visiting visit one old people's home in the town to give readings because so many residents want them, but are unable to get to the shop.
Staff from Wigan's Substance Misuse Service have also approached Lianne to enquire about her giving reiki healing to the service's users to help them wean themselves off drugs.
Mysticals sells a range of spiritual and psychic goods including tarot cards, rune stones to crystal wands, scrying bowls, books, crystal balls, Tibetan chimes and singing bowls. Lianne runs development courses for people wanting to develop heir psychic abilities and reiki practitioners
