🌙 The Black Cat Exchange

Curated Book & Deck Trade-Ins

The Black Cat Exchange is our curated trade-in program for gently used books and tarot/oracle decks that align with the focus of our shop.

This is not a general donation drop-off program. All items are reviewed for condition, relevance, resale potential, and available shop capacity.

📚 What We Accept

We may accept:

• Witchcraft, folk magic, and occult studies
• Tarot, oracle decks, astrology, and divination
• Mysticism, metaphysical topics, and spiritual traditions
• Herbalism and natural healing
• Personal growth and healing
• Young adult fantasy with mythological or spiritual themes
• Select children's books focused on folklore, mythology, nature, or spirituality

Items that closely match the shop's focus and current inventory needs are more likely to be accepted.

📦 Intake Limits

To help us review items thoughtfully:

• Up to 5 books per person, per month
• Up to 2 tarot or oracle decks per person, per month

📦 Unaccepted Items
