Lucia Angelis

I spent about half an hour in Lucia Angelis today. I was drawn in by a mesmerizing display of coloured bottles in the window and for a moment thought that maybe this was the evil competitor who was taking customers away from the Old Bottle Shop in Greenwich Market. But no! They are not selling bottles, just selling the colours IN the bottles. Thank God!
In the shop there was a lot of talk of angels and energy and how your choice of colour reflects your personality and can affect your relationships with other people. The women asked if I would like to have a colour consultation to discover what my colour choices said about me. She gave me a colour chart– If I chose deep red it would reflect energy, deep blue would reflect peace and white would reflect clarity. «Ok, why not?» I said to which she replied «it will be £50.» I muttered a few words about not having the time, so she then offered me a deal of £60 if I wanted to keep the bottle.
I spoke to the woman behind the desk for a while and listened to a conversation between some of the shop’s customers. I even went on their website when I got back home. But I am still dumbfounded.
