August News and New Items!

The apothecary and production geniuses here at Melange Magique have been hard at work brewing some new potions for everyone. While they stir the magic cauldron, let me tell you about a few new items that arrived in our store.

BOOKS
From the older books, we received a beauty that has been long missing.

Earth Prayer by Elizabeth Roberts
ISBN: 9780062507464 $19.95
Looking for a collection of prayers and poetry to help inspire you? Need an invocation for a ritual? This has been a wonderful resource in the past and still is. Here is an example:

from page 288 poem by John Soo

To be the Earth is to know
the restlessness of being a seed
the darkness of being planted
the struggle toward the light
the pain of bursting into the light
the joy of bursting and bearing fruit
the love of being food for someone
the scattering of your seeds
the decay of the seasons
the mystery of death
the miracle of birth.

From the annals of almost forgotten presses comes this reprint.

The Spirits Book by Raymond Buckland
ISBN: 1578591724 $32.95
The fascinating history of Spiritualism is coaxed into the material realm as the object of this perceptive and sweeping encyclopedic overview by Raymond Buckland, a legendary author of the occult and supernatural. More than 500 entries and 100 illustrations cover clairvoyance, channeling, and more.

And new to the book shelves are these two excellent discoveries.

The Kuan Yin Chronicles by Martin Palmer & Jay Ramsay with Man-ho Kwok
ISBN: 9781571746085 $21.95
Kuan Yin is the Chinese goddess of compassion. She permeates ancient Chinese culture, philosophy and religions through Folklore, Taoism and Buddhism. This reprint includes a new section on history and lore of Kuan Yin as well as the formerly stunning translations of Kuan Yin poetry (which can be used for divination). Among the 100 Quatrains for divination is this compassionate jewel:

#18: Beyond Class or Creed
Golden crow-sun sets and sinks, as white rabbit-moon rises
Day and night have circled each other since time immemorial,
And since you know this, follow the Way as it helps everyone -
Scholar or workman, shop girl or businessman all benefit.

Energy Essentials for Witches and Spellcasters by Mya Om
ISBN: 9780738715506 $17.95
At first the title, color fo the book and maybe even the author's name might put you off. However, this is definately one of those books you should NOT judge by its cover. This is one of the best books about spellwork and energy work ever seen! It begins with foundational questions ato help you prepare for spellwork. It then moves into energy work (sensing and manipulating). It then explores techniques, tips, and meditations.

NEW PRODUCTS
Now that I have teased you with some books and a hint about the shinanegans in the apothecary, let me tell you about the new items we are workong on.

New TEA!
We have a new tea called Baroness Grey. It is like an Earl Grey tea with more floral hints and a slight ghosting of fruit.

New from our Witchcraft Essentials!
These are in production and trial.

We have made our own floor washes! They are colored and mildly scented for 10 different blends (Attraction, Dragon's Blood, Fast Luck, Go Away Evil, High John, Jinx removing, Money Drawing, 7 African Powers, Uncrossing, and Van Van). Despite what the test labels might indicate, we recommend you use only a capful or two in your bucket of hot water for mopping your floors.

We have brewed hand wash! This is a high quality hand soap that is colored and scented for 5 different blends (Dragon's Blood, Love & Attraction, Luck & Money, Protection, and Spiritual Cleansing). This is almost a travel-sized bottle great for you backpack or purse.
