New spiritual/ metaphysical gift shop in Toronto area - need advice on business cards?

That's a tricky one, Barbara. The ideal solution would be two sets of business cards, one for you and one for your business. The emphasis needs to be on the business, not you personally. I would approach this from the standpoint of what your business has to offer to people. Keep it in general terms to keep the card from getting too cluttered. Put in the business address, phone number and website. At the bottom you could put something like, "Barbara ____, Owner." Spell it out that you own the place (and your place offers all these goods and services). It's not important to your customers which services you offer personally. If they want a tarot reading or a Reiki treatment, they will come to your store.

Hope this helps.

And congratulations!

Edit: There is a place in Richmond VA, called the Aquarian Bookshop which is probably a lot like the shop you are opening. They have all sorts of books and crystals and pendulums as well as being a center for people to advertize their esoteric crafts. They even have classes there. I'll throw in the link for you to see how their website is set up. They might even be willing to give you some good advice.

Good luck with your new business.

How about under your name, put "Owner", then underneath that put "Spiritual Advisor, Reiki Master" At the top of your card put the title of your shop, and underneath that you can put a motto or something like "Specializing in x, y and z". This should leave plenty of room for a logo and your address and phone number.

There is an image of a business card attached to give you some ideas.

I just looked to see what people answered. I have to say, the questioning itself has opened my mind up to thinking on a whole other level and I thank you for asking the questions. I orginally looked to see whether people answered with actual facts, insight, opinion or simply logic. I now see it as a challenge. I havent studied physics beyond a high school level so I will attempt to answer this with mere logic alone. I would think karma governs the rules of physics. Karma as in "for every action there is an equal reaction" not the basic concept that most people have (what comes around goes around) I would think if you opened your mind up by developing an understanding for both the spiritual and metaphysical and apply this understanding on a karmic level, that you could manipulate or bypass the rules of physics. Man is bound by his own awareness and understanding of the rules of physics. Knowledge is power.
