Keep us flying at The Raven's Wing Magical Co-op

Hello, We're Iris, Grey, Jenny, Willow, Martin, Remy, Andrea, and Nissa. We are the member-owners of The Raven's Wing Magical Co-op. We're asking our community to help us get back on track as we move into the year 2024.

Our business is more than a store, although we do provide magical staples and unique artisan-made goods to our neighbors in the Sellwood area of Portland, OR, as well as through our online shop . We also host classes and meetups on Tarot, Astrology, Spellcraft, and Herbalism, and provide a space for authors, artists and teachers to promote their work in the spiritual realm.

The pandemic has been hard on all small businesses, and our business has changed dramatically in the past few years. We became a cooperative in September 2022, and discovered that our access to financing was suddenly much restricted. (The banking system doesn't blend well with cooperative ownership, surprise!) In May of 2023, we voted unanimously to shut down our Oakland, CA location. We know that our community in the Bay misses us, and that we are a favorite shop for many folks in Portland (and Vancouver, Salem, Eugene, Seattle...). Our mission is to stay, and to provide that informative, welcoming, magical community space that our regulars have come to count on. We truly love what we do, we love helping our neighbors with befriending basement ghosts and healing heartbreak spells.

We've shortened our working hours, gone without pay, and even laid ourselves off entirely. We're ready for help.

We are asking for these funds to help us get current with some of our favorite vendors who have been good enough to extend us credit. We will also be paying our staff who have waited to cash their paychecks. If there's any extra funds, we will be using it to restock our shelves, renovate our events space... we have so many dreams for this magical place. Please help keep us flying at The Raven's Wing Magical Co-op.
