Stores:
#1 Catland, 987 Flushing Ave: One-stop-shop for esoteric-everything
This bookstore is essentially the epicenter of mysticism in Bushwick. They carry books from the likes of Edred Thorsson, Robert Anton Wilson, as well as small-published esoteric texts. In addition, they have herbs, stones, candles, and parchment, all for spellwork. Their mission is to “serve the local community of Occultists, Yogis, Pagans, Mystics, Thelemites, Witches, Chaotes, and anyone interested in the enhancement of his or her spiritual self.”
#2 All Eyes on Egypt, 717 Bushwick Ave: Books about Egypt and aliens galore!
All Eyes on Egypt is a bookstore on Bushwick Avenue that houses several of the many texts of Dwight York; a controversial figure from Bushwick who lead the Georgia-based Nuwaubian movement. Followers of his movement still run the store and discuss his writing on Free Masonry, aliens, and Egypt, as York is currently serving a 135-year prison sentence for molestation charges.
