I adopt a global perspective to clarify the changes that occult healing underwent following the popularisation of new printing technologies, mass media and transnational spiritualism in early twentieth-century China. The relative stability and political freedom enjoyed in the French Concession and International Settlement created what Wen-Hsin Yeh has called the Shanghai splendour.

Harry's Occult Shop
Open since 1917, Harry’s Occult Shop originally began as a traditional pharmacy. However, many of the first customers that came into the shop were Black southerners, who would repeatedly ask Harry for various powders and oils of an “occult” nature. The southerners came up to the north bringing their Hoodoo, (a type of folk magic not to be confused with voodoo) traditions with them, and a consumers demand for the appropriate powders, blessed candles and incenses.
At first confused by these requests, Harry began researching the Occult (also known as White Magic), and soon began creating his own Occult powders and spiritual products on the premises, complete with his own homemade labels. Harry became known for advising customers on emotional and physical problems and helping them to use his products to treat their conditions. Harry proclaimed the mottos of the shop to be “We Aim to Help” and “Light a Torch for the Good and Cross Swords Against Evil.”
While often associated with evil, the word Occult simply means hidden, unheard or unseen, and the occult products Harry sells come out of a long American tradition of Spiritualism, Mysticism and Hoodoo. According to the shop they are used only to create positive energies and bring about changes in the recipient.
While Harry’s has gone through a series of owners since 1945, it continues to be known for teaching customers how to use “candles and other Occult products such as oils, incense, herbs, baths, floor wash, seals etc. to put positive energies” into the universe, and “to help change the negative blockages that are affecting the world.”
Today the shop is managed by Marcia Finnegan, who, along with other “spiritual advisors” in the shop, continue to coach customers on how to use their special Occult products to remove negativity from their lives. In addition to the original shop, Marcia has a wellness center on the second floor specializing in “Reiki healings, Neuro Linguistic Programming, Hypnotherapy, and Stress Management.”
Update: After having been open for nearly 100 years Harry’s Occult Shop has closed its doors. It has re-opened as Mystical Emporium Inc. on 1210 S St. Philadelphia. However reopened in a former nail salon with bright lighting, the new store lacks much of the atmosphere of the original Harry’s.

Update 1/14/18: Mystical Emporium Inc. has become Harry’s World and is now open to the public. This update is of discovery and not the actual date it opened. It is now located at 1210 South St, Philadelphia, PA 19147. You can call them at (215)-309-3326.
The importance of handwritten texts for talismanic learning should not be underestimated: rather than published in transcription form, the Compendium was for decades produced as a printed manuscript. The 1922, 1924, 1925 and 1935 editions of the Compendium, the only copies available to us today, were all produced through photolithography (yingyin 影印), a newly arrived technology publishers did not measure efforts to underline. In a series of advertisements issued in the 1920s, the East Asia Press and World Books announced, in large characters, that their edition of the Compendium was ‘purely a photocopy of Mr Yu’s original manuscript’, and assured that no changes were made to the printed version. 37 This, combined with the fact that most of the specialised texts of talismanic healing that have survived to this day are manuscripts, reveal that the written word, even in its modern printed form, remained essential for the efficacy of talismans and spells. 38 The use of manuscripts as a support for the transmission of talismanic knowledge and the practice of publishing talismanic texts as printed manuscripts both remain common in China today. 39 In the case of Yu’s book, this strategy enjoyed a remarkable success: published for the first time in 1922, two years later the Compendium was already in its fifth edition. Advertisements for the book can be found all through the 1930s.

Reviews for "Dalmatian Mascots in Tuxedos: How They Inspire Team Spirit and Unity"
1. Emily - 1/5 - I was really disappointed with the Dalmatian mascot tuxedo. The quality was extremely poor, and it didn't look anything like the picture advertised. The material was thin, the stitching was shoddy, and one of the buttons even fell off as soon as I tried it on. It was also uncomfortable to wear, as the sizes seemed to be completely off. Overall, I would not recommend purchasing this product.
2. Michael - 2/5 - The Dalmatian mascot tuxedo was a letdown for me. Although the design was cute, the execution was lacking. The costume was not well-made, and the seams were already fraying when I received it. The sizing was also a major issue. I ordered the correct size based on the measurements provided, but it fit poorly and was too tight in some areas while being baggy in others. Additionally, the material was quite cheap and didn't seem like it would hold up well with continued use. I expected better quality for the price I paid.
3. Jessica - 1/5 - I found the Dalmatian mascot tuxedo to be a complete waste of money. The product did not live up to its description at all. The fabric was flimsy and didn't resemble the pictures on the website. The fit was also disappointing as it was too small, despite ordering the correct size. The worst part was that the costume arrived with several noticeable stains that couldn't be removed. It was clearly a poorly made product that I regretted purchasing. I would advise others to steer clear of this item.
