Mona Lindsay, like most people, only asks that you don't prejudge her.
If you're interested, she'll give you a peak into her world.
Lindsay, a practicing Wiccan — a religion that follows the cycle of the moon and seasons and the sun rather than one central deity — is perhaps best known for running Wisdom of the Ages, a Howell store that closed last year, where she sold herbs, incense, crystals, oils and other items.
She soon after opened Moon Magick, 4780 E. M-36 in Hamburg Township.
Lindsay, 54, discovered Wicca around age 40 after being raised in the Methodist church. She's come to expect accusations that she's involved in devil worship.
As a youth, Lindsay became frustrated when church leaders wouldn't answer her questions, and was once dismissed from Sunday school class.
"All of my adult life, I was looking for something to believe in, and when I read my first book on Wicca, I said, 'That's what I've been doing all my life.' I just feel very reverent toward the Earth," she added.
"We don't even believe in the devil. That's a Christian concept," Lindsay added.
While Livingston County has a largely Christian, conservative base, Lindsay said there are more local Wiccans that one might think.
