The shop already sells crystals and tarot cards as well as many more items that aspiring witches and those interested in mystical practices may need.

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.”
