Eye of Horus began as a dream of Thraicie Hawkner (pictured at left). Before becoming an entrepreneur, she spent over a decade working for a giant corporation. Until she was laid off, and took the opportunity to pursue her dream of bringing her vocation and avocation together in a metaphysical business. Beginning in 2002, she incorporated as Eye of Horus, and went from traveling around to shows and festivals around the region, to a web-based business, and on October 31, 2003 finally a street-front store at 2717 Lyndale Avenue in Minneapolis, Minnesota.
