Special classes are on the way for children at a Hartlepool shop – where “apprentice witches” can learn about crystal healing.
The junior magical masterclass is being planned at Gina’s Coven, in Station Lane, which is run by Gina Pontoni.
The shop already sells crystals and tarot cards as well as many more items that aspiring young witches and those interested in mystical practices may need.
But now comes the masterclass for youngsters which will be held once a month for children aged over 10 and under 16.
It is the latest offering at Gina’s shop which is already a huge success with adults.
Gina said: “The new sessions are a crystal master class for apprentice witches. They will be held in the shop and I teach them about crystal healing, positivity and positive thinking.
"It is kind of a class about positive life skills and about always being kind.”
Around 40 children have already had their names put forward for the ticket-only classes.
And that’s not the only success at the shop. She does workshops for budding witches with 170 witches now on her books.
Gina also does tarot readings which are so popular, she is now fully booked until June 2023.
It sees apprentices learn how to read Tarot cards, meditate and heal with crystals.
On top of all that, Gina has been a pandemic success story online.
During lockdown, she entertained people on Facebook with a live “Tarot and Laughter” show every Saturday night, attracting more than 30,000 views at a
time.
Now her shop is a huge hit and she said: “I am just happy to spread the magic around. The coven is lovely because it is exactly what I imagined it would be when I first started.”
