AWEN has moved and changed names. We reopened as MoonGate Metaphysical on 5/12/24. The new store is located near Lakeside Beach, on the corner of Gratiot and Holland.

For those that have wondered about the reasons for the move and the name change, here is the simple answer. We knew that each of our previous locations were temporary locations, until we could find the perfect place. With MoonGate Metaphysical we have finally found that perfect place. As for the name changes . . . Each location has it's own character and personality, and so gets it's own name based on the energy of that location. Also, we enjoy reinventing the store.

Now that we are established in our new location, we just wanted to take a moment to express our gratitude for everybody that played a part in the amazing growth that we experienced with AWEN.

To everybody that has supported the store over the last 4.5 years, to those that wrote such wonderful reviews, to our regular customers and to those that visit us yearly on their vacations, to our family members that helped make this possible, to our amazing friends of the store that stood by us through all of the challenges that we faced, to those that helped us run the store, to our wonderful tarot readers, and even to those that played a part in the challenges that we overcame . . . Thank you!

We hope that you will continue to follow our journey with MoonGate Metaphysical. Our new location has the space to host classes and events, as well as an even larger selection of merchandise. There will be numerous major announcements in the near future. Please follow/like facebook.com/MoonGate888 to keep up to date with the latest news. This will be our last post as AWEN, but we will continue to share MoonGate posts for a while, until our seasonal visitors have had a chance to find our new page.

Thank you so much!
Jen & Jon

Just some of the new stock that we added during the relocation. We have spell kits, spell candles, spell jars, travel altars, spiritual bath salts and special salts for special purposes.

After getting the rest of our cabinets moved over from AWEN we need a little time to move things around and get it all set up again. We will be closed Tuesday and Wednesday, then re-open on Thursday with expanded summer hours for the Memorial Day weekend and beyond.

A call for volunteers:

I was hoping to find 3-4 strong guys that might volunteer to help Jon move the jewelry case that was our main counter at AWEN. It would take about 1 hour to load at AWEN, transport about 1.5 miles to MoonGate Metaphysical, and then unload. I would really like to do this on Monday evening 5/20, if I can find a few people to help. The time depends on when volunteers are able to show up.

The case breaks up into 3 pieces, but they are heavy and awkward to move. The best situation would be one guy on each of the four corners for the big piece. I will include some pics so you can see what I could use some help moving.

Thanks In Advance,
Jen & Jon

Thank you to everybody that helped our new location get off to such a great start.

Thank you so much for your support and enthusiasm. All of you really helped us start this new journey in the most positive way that we could have hoped for.

As you may have noticed, we ran out of time to finish everything that we wanted to have ready for the Grand Opening. We still have refinements to make to the sales floor areas, more counters and cabinets to hold supplies that we did not get onto the shelves for the opening, more orders from abroad that did not get to us in time for the opening, and more available space in the building than we could fully utilize on opening day. Expect plenty of exciting announcements in the near future.

PS- Thank you to all of our friends that volunteered to help with the move. We did not call on all of your offers, but they were still very much appreciated.

Just ONE more day until the Grand Opening of MoonGate Metaphysical at Noon on Mother's Day, May 12th!
