A massive fire broke out yesterday<\/a> in Long Branch, New Jersey, claiming 10 businesses and 14 apartments<\/a>. Luckily, no human life was lost in the fire, though some pets were killed. Among the businesses that were destroyed was Sacred Circle New Age Center<\/a>, a local meeting point for area Pagans, who were deeply saddened by the news<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201c\u2026we\u2019ll be there for them when they re-build, once we find out more info, if they need anything we can start a fundraiser or donations\u2026This is so sad today for our Community to lose a business but so grateful they are alive and well.\u201d<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The owners of Sacred Circle, Adam Kane and Al Romao, released a statement yesterday about the fire<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cTo everyone in our community. With a very heavy heart, today Sacred Circle was burnt down from a fire that started several doors down from our store.\u00a0We are fine and many of the tennants in the building are fine, but some of our four legged friends in the building unfortunately did not make it. Please send prayers to them.\u00a0We want to thank everyone in our community for the ourpouring of love, prayers, energy and support coming our way during this difficult time\u2026.Adam and I very much felt it and thank everyone.\u00a0By the looks of everything, the building and store are destroyed, we will update everyone on our process and progress as we find things out. \u00a0To everyone, your continued love, support and prayers and very much appreciated.\u201d<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The most recent pictures<\/a> show damage that is near-total, placing in doubt the ability to salvage any stock. This early in the process, it will be difficult to say if the owners will re-build, or open a store in a new location. When shops like this are closed or destroyed, it\u2019s more than losing a shopping opportunity. Since the idea of Pagan temples and community centers are still in their early days, many Pagans still rely on Pagan or New Age shops for local networking and finding a communal safe space. An important face-to-face compliment to connections made via social networking. Hopefully the community in Long Branch can rally together during this time of trial, and use this tragedy to knit closer bonds. I think prominent New Jersey Pagan blogger Mrs. B<\/a> speaks for us all when she says: \u201cOur prayers are with you Sacred Circle.\u201d<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n
