The shelves and shelves of book stacks is in the back left portion of the store. It is nothing but rows and rows of books. There are extremely tall bookshelves that require the roll ladders to get to the top of the bookshelf in order to cram as many books in as possible. The books are all occult related, mythical legends, religious studies (yes, even Christianity), Gods and Goddesses, witchcraft, voodoo, anything you can think of it is likely here. There is a sign that states, 'If you can not find the book you are looking for, please go to the counter and write in the special order book for the book you wish to get.'
In the center of the room behind the café area is a long glass counter that is set like a rectangle with a narrow space to enter and exit. There is a register on the counter, along with multiple thick books and a few stylus type pens available. Within the glass cases are rather beautiful jeweled daggers or athames, and other, expensive, or more importantly, rare items that need special care. The class counter is locked at all times.

Behind the register and special items counter, the rear of the store is split into two sections, the entirety of the right section looks as if it's an apothecary paradise. There is a wall of labelled drawers and glass jars with dried herbs and items within them. There are also hanging herbs that are in the process of drying. Third, there are live herbs that are placed in special baskets in front of and around the long apothecary counter. On the counter are several mortars and pestles that are rather large and clean, ready for use.
Near the apothecary counter are shelves of pre-packaged items, hand packaged herbs in either glass containers or small bags, salves, and other items labeled with this store's logo. On the label is the items purpose and suggested dosage along with content. All along these shelves are other items that are sometimes necessary for a practicing pagan or herbalist, there are candles, crystals, athames, mortars and pestles, feathers, and other random sundries that might be required. In addition to supplies, there are also pre-made items, such as crystal necklaces, bracelets and jewelry.

A large greenhouse has been built connecting to the main shop. The greenhouse itself is as big, if not bigger than the main shop itself. Inside the greenhouse are many plants and especially herbs that are used in the shop itself. A caretaker has been assigned to take care of this greenhouse at all times.
