New Products & What to do with Them!

We have received an incredible shipment of inks, quills, parchment and journals.

Lovely glass quills are a was to focus on careful writing and directing energy into the pages of your book of chadows. Enhance this with specialized inks of various colors or even a metallic pigment ink!

We have various types of parchments: natural paper parchment, sheep skin vellum, calf skin velum, and papyrus. These are excellent for your spellwork. Parchments are used to write your wish, details for a spell, a magical seal of sigil. Then they are anointed with oil, usually on the four corners. Depending on your spell, there are several ways to charge them with energy and purpose and release them. Some will place them in front of a mirror, under a candle or burn them. Sometimes you are meant to keeps them, put them up in your home, fold them and tuck them into a drawer or in your purse, or even bury them. It all depends on the spell you are doing.

The journals are excellent for a Book of Shadows. We have many different styles. Always select a book that appeals to you. Some questions you ask yourself are:

- Lined or unlined?
- White pages or natural yellowed pages?
- How many pages?
- What dimensions? Large 8.5 x 11 inch? 5 x 7 inch? Smaller?
- Do you prefer a binder?
- Spiral bound or perfect (regular book) binding?

Deciding the contents of your book of shadows is often more difficult. Do you want a multipurpose Book of Shadows (BOS) or several different books for specific subjects? Most Book of Shadows contain reference information and correspondances for gerbs and oils and stones and more. They also contain spells and instructions for rituals, as well as the results of these magical works. A Book of Shadows is your magical journal, a journal of your journey on this path and all that you learn and experience on it.

VooDoo Baby charms are again back in stock with many new designs, including a kitty one and miniture versions of several of the styles. Hang them from your cell phone or purse, from your car mirror, from your office desk, or around your home (I have one hanging from each kitchen cupboard knob).

Sage smudges have arrived!! We have our usual stock of smudges. However, we also received lovely hand picked, hand dried and hand crafted smudges for all occasions of cleancing and blessing your home and yourself.

Our 2007 calendars have started coming in. We have yet to receive the Seasons of the Witch series and the Meynard's Celestial Influences and ask that you please be patient till they do arrive.
