The Home of OM

Adjacent to the Fourth Avenue Southwest business's warmly lit New Age gift shop, The Home Of OM co-owner Angel Rogers sits at her desk making jewellery out of auralite crystal. The founder of Calgary’s only licensed psychic school is framed by artistic rays of light projecting across a large painting just behind her as she explains how the auralite is a powerful crystal composed of 23 minerals. Available in the shop and online, her jewellery is a big seller.

Apart from the store, where one can find a plethora of items like crystals, sage, candles, New Age books and salt lamps, The Home of OM is dedicated to mental wellbeing, mind expansion and bodily wellness through psychic seminars, meditation classes, yoga, angel readings, sensory deprivation floatation and various esoteric teachings.

Whether a patron comes in for a psychic reading, to learn to enhance their psychic intuition or to seek an unconventional relief from psychological or physical stress, Angel sees the school's role as helping them to be comfortable with who they are and what they believe, granted it caters to a belief system outside the mainstream.

“It’s about enlightening people to who they are, so they don’t get lost again. Not to look for somebody else to give it to them, but to give it to themselves, so they’re self-sustaining,” she says of her business philosophy.

Aware of her psychic senses from a very young age, she has been a professional psychic for 10 years. So confident is she in the accuracy of her psychic readings that she offers a money-back guarantee. Her greatest fulfillment as a psychic, however, comes from teaching others to do it for themselves in her psychic classes and seminars. Angel is also a spiritual medium who conducts readings "from the other side," a hypnotherapist offering past-life regression therapy and sensei in the Trilotherapy school of Zen Buddhism who gives meditation classes.
