The Burlington riverfront was a beacon of spiritual activity during the annual Metaphysical Fair at the Port of Burlington.
30 vendors provided everything from Tarot, Psychic, Aura, and other readings, materials for casting spells, essential oils, and even artwork.
This is the Metaphysical Fair’s seventh year in Burlington. Organizer Lydia Gittings said people in southeast Iowa have been accepting of the Pagan community. When people come in with questions, we answer and they see that we re just normal people who just happen to live spiritually, Gittings said. We re in tune with the earth and the stars and the elements. It kind of vibes back to the old hippy days.
