Here is a Magical Herb Sneak Peek

Greetings everyone,

I am so excited to share with you some of the magical herbs that will be added to my Etsy Shop this week. I'll be selling a variety of magical herbs/spices/botanicals by the ounce. Right now I have the following 6 almost ready to list:

Fenugreek Seed - Ritual Power: Money

Cut Ginger Root - Ritual Powers: Love, Money, Success and Power

Poppy Seed - Ritual Powers: Love, Fertility, Money, Luck, Sleep and Invisibility

RoseHips - Ritual Powers: Love, Relationships, Companionship and Peace

Star Anise - Ritual Powers: Psychic Powers and Luck

St. John's Wort - Ritual Powers: Health, Protection, Strength, Love, 

Divination and Happiness

I anticipate that they will be live in the shop tonight. These are part of the wonderful selection of herbs, spices and botanicals that I purchased on my trip to San Francisco this month. Right now my studio smells amazing though it is currently the poster child for chaos! 

Once I finalize these listings I'll be working on the next batch which includes catnip, wormwood, pennyroyale, whitewillow bark, calendula, lavender, hibiscus flowers and rosepetals/buds. 

My kitty has been hanging out near the cat nip bag, she keeps waiting for me to put some in a toy for her. She is 16 and turns into a kitten when I give her catnip filled toys, so that is on the agenda as well and soon! 

This is a cross post with my Beneath The Witch's Moon Etsy Shop blog.

What I've Been Working On Lately

Mendhika Medallion Tarot Bag

I've been busy embroidering things for my Etsy shop this weekend. This is one of the silk, hand beaded, zippered, Tarot bags that I just added to the shop. These are so much fun to make and so pretty. This one can be used for all sorts of things but a standard Tarot deck fits beautifully in it.

Purple Tarot Bag

I've got a couple of different zippered bags listed right now. I've had such fun making these that I just had to share!!

In April, I am heading to San Francisco for my birthday and while there I'll be picking up a selection of herbs and other magical supply items to add to my Etsy shop. I can't wait!

This week on Artsy Monday I'll be showing you how to make an adorable tea light cake. These little light-up treats are easy to make and super cute and best of all - NO CALORIES! :0)

Yuletide Blessings Embroidered Fleece Blanket now in my Etsy Shop!

This beautiful cream colored fleece blanket was just added to my shop. If you have a friend or relative that likes Dragons you may want to check it out. I will personalize this with a name for free! As time permits I'll be adding additional embroidered items to the shop as well as some other fun things. To check it out click on the picture.

Check back later tonight for a peep at the sweet little Zombie that showed up at my house last week!

Courage Oil is in the Shop

Courage Oil

My Etsy Shop, aptly named Beneath the Witch's Moon now has a couple 10 ml bottles of Courage Oil in stock. I love magical oils, they can be used in so many ways, to anoint candles, jewelry, tools, bodies and so much more. 

This particular oil is one of my favorites which is why I choose it to be the first Magical Oil I sell in my shop. It is specifically designed to give your courage a boost when you are starting something new. As an artist I always feel hesitant when I start a new project so I keep this oil around the shop and when in need of a little boost I just dab a bit on my wrist. I've also put a couple of drops on a sachet to carry in my purse when I needed to take that courage with me (this oil goes great with the Help with a Job Search Spell Bottles!)

My little shop is growing slowly. I make all of the items myself and since most of them are magical in nature they must be done at specific times. With my hectic schedule I work those things in when I can. I love combining Magical purpose with art. In my opinion life should be filled with both Magic and Art. 

I have more spell bottles and oils in the works and hope to add some actual hand sculpted Halloween figures and decor items by mid-August. If you are looking for a particular spell bottle email me either through the blog or contact me via The Shop

New Spell Bottles in My Etsy Shop

One of a Kind - Prosperity Spell Bottle

This week I will be adding two new types of spell bottles to my Beneath the Witch's Moon Etsy Shop. I am adding two sizes of Protection Spell Bottles and two sizes of a spell bottle to Aid in Finding a Job. These join the Good Luck Spell bottles and the Wealth/Prosperity Spell Bottles that are currently in the shop.

Both the Protection and the Finding a Job bottles come in a pocket size so you can carry them with you as well as in a slightly larger size that you can use to add specific magical intent to any room in your house.

Each spell bottle is hand made by me during the correct moon and astrological phases and with ingredients specifically chosen for the intent of the bottle. Most of my small spell bottles (not the pocket size) are made from antique salt shakers which gives them a beauty all their own.

Larger spell bottles are one of a kind works of magical art and are also created with the correct ingredients and during the correct times for their intended purpose. These are designed to be magical as well as decorative and should be displayed somewhere that they are visible.

All spell bottles are charged and ready to go and come with a spell that the individual can use to make the bottle specifically theirs, adding their own intent and power to the original spell. This step is not necessary but  included for those who prefer to add a little of themselves to the power of the bottle.

Also currently in the shop are several domino pendants, a Kitchen Witch Apron and a gold embroidered Wheel of the Year Altar cloth.

Check it out if you get a chance.

Etsy Shop Update!

I have been working like a mad woman to get some inventory in my Etsy shop and I am happy to report that I have added  several Good Luck Spell Bottles, a few Mini Prosperity Spell Bottles, a lovely gold embroidered Wheel of the Year alter cloth and some additional Domino Pendants.

I am working on some other types of Spell Bottles, some ritual kits, additional alter cloths and some other fun things that I hope to add soon. 

Here are the Good Luck and Prosperity Spell bottles

Good Luck Spell Bottles

Mini Prosperity Spell Bottles

I was fortunate to find a box (velvet lined no less) of antique crystal salt shakers to use for my mini spell bottles. They turned out so nice I will be hunting for more soon!

Wheel of the Year Altar Cloth

The altar cloth embroidery design is from my favorite design shop - Urban Threads. It depicts the phases of the moon, the astrological signs and the Witch holidays. It is embroidered in metallic gold on a purple/blue crushed velvet type material - stunning!

Thanks for stopping by

New Etsy Item - Kitchen Witch Apron

This adorable embroidered apron will be posted in my Etsy shop this afternoon.  It is a Cotton/Poly blend white apron with two roomy front pockets, an adjustable neck strap and it ties in the back.

Here is a picture of the embroidery work

I am currently working on a Wheel of the Year Table Runner that I hope to have in the shop later tonight and then plan to start work on a couple of Dupioni Silk Altar Cloths.

Thanks for looking!

Seattle

This past weekend my boyfriend and I went to Seattle to visit my son and his girl. Even though it rained the entire time it was a fabulous trip! My son is so happy and his girlfriend and her family are gracious, warm and friendly. They love my kiddo and it shows in how they talk to him and in the way they treat him. It is so nice to know that my son is surrounded by people who love him.

While we were there we did the touristy stuff, we visited the Space Needle, Pike's market (above), and the Experience Music Project (below).

Experience Music Project

I also hit as many thrift stores as I could. I make spell bottles out of antique salt and pepper shakers and I found a wonderful set of 6 crystal shakers at Goodwill while in Seattle.

I can't wait to get to work on those. By the end of March the spell bottles I make with those babies will start to show up in my ETSY shop Beneath the Witch's Moon, opening on March 1st - only a few items will be available on opening day due to my travels but I am working on quite a bit more and should have a very nice selection of gifts and supplies by the end of March.

I  am heading out to see my daughter in Orlando tomorrow. What a busy month this has been! I can't believe that March will be here in a matter of days!

Have a lovely week
