Entry No. 27 — the Salt Lake City file — filed under: aura photography
Cat & Cauldron
A Taylorsville apothecary-and-reading-room that stacks services rarely found under one roof: aura photography, palmistry, scrying, crystal-ball readings, past-life sessions — and even pet readings — alongside regular study groups in spellcraft, rune work and tarot.
The story
Tucked into a Taylorsville strip on 4700 South, Cat & Cauldron is owner Michael Ingleby’s answer to a simple question: why should a metaphysical shop just be a shelf of tumbled amethyst? Part apothecary and part neighborhood learning lab, the space functions as a working sanctuary for local practitioners, running regular study groups in rune work, tarot, and practical spellcraft alongside a retail inventory of ritual goods.
Where most occult storefronts stop at basic card pulls and sage bundles, this floor stacks a menu of divination services you almost never find operating under a single roof. You can book standard palmistry or a crystal-ball session, then pivot to scrying, past-life regression, or side-by-side aura photography. They will even conduct a reading for your pet—because if anyone in your household is holding onto unexpressed psychic tension, it’s probably the cat.
What it's like
Step inside and you'll find a space that trades theatrical spookiness for dark-wood apothecary warmth and a low-ego community atmosphere. Local regulars drift in for study circles or to stock up on ritual supplies, while visitors drop by for aura shots and private sessions with the house psychics and spiritualists. It’s an approachable spot run by local witches who take the work seriously, but keep in mind that shop hours can shift around class schedules and events, so verify operating times before you drive out.
The move: Get aura photos taken side by side, then each book a different divination service (say, scrying vs. palmistry) to see whose comes back stranger.
