Using The Website

MetaMaps is a place for people who have an interest in metaphysical subjects. where anyone with those similar but not entirely the same interests could list places, stories, histories, team, and business details and more. A place where if someone wanted to find a tarot reader in their area for example it would be just a matter of checking out listings on a site. This site, hopefully this way I could help pull the community together and provide a resource for anyone with a mild to a very strong interest a place to find likeminded pursuits. The goal is also to help businesses, groups, towns, locations bring people in, to promote good operators, fascinating locations and hopefully help draw people to the amazing places that might be a little off the beaten track. A website for people to share their own experiences and interests.
Please no listings if you are not sure if it would be allowed by the location. If we get correspondence from a location that a listing is not allowed, we will not hesitate to remove it. We will give you warning, but we must uphold request by site owners and managers etc. Likewise, if you list a location with someone else home address it will promptly be paused until we can determine if it is appropriate.
