I took this pics today at The Old Riga Tea Bar, the place where I make my Tarot readings every Tuesday and Friday. Before you enjoy the eye-candy, keep in mind that 90% of what you see here was made by a team of crafters, which includes the two owners, a Fine Arts teacher, a [...]

New At The Shop: Downloadable Book Of Shadows Pages
Posted in Book Of Shadows, News and Updates on June 22, 2008 | 4 Comments »
The name of Book Of Shadows has nothing to do with the “dark side”! As Witches were prosecuted for centuries and oral transmission of knowledge was not always possible, these kind of texts were kept in the “shadows” – that is, hidden. Thank the Goddess, today Witches can work freely (at least in some parts [...]
Full Moon Ritual
Posted in Everyday Life, Friends of the Magick Shop on June 18, 2008 | 1 Comment »
My contribution to Ed’s (gaywizard123 on flickr) and Lorianne’s (Plumevine on flickr) ritual: herb tea sweetened with Oshum’s honey and homemade mulled cider to celebrate with the glorious full moon.
The moon is a paper mache piece I got as a gift more or less 20 years ago.
Now, crawling to bed….have sweet dreams!
Perfect Skin Rose Water Recipe
Posted in Everyday Life, Natural Beauty, Witchcraft Articles on June 18, 2008 | 5 Comments »
Due to the heat of burning candles in an altar, flowers don’t last much on them. The roses I got on Saturday were already fading, so this morning I had the perfect excuse for a little bit of recycling making my own version of rose water. My own skin is very thin and sensitive and [...]
Finger Painting

My husband is in the way of becoming a pro tattoo artist, so he takes most of his free time sketching and improving his drawing skills. I don’t know if you know this fact, but most of the tattoo artists that I’ve met hardly did any drawing or painting before learning how to make [...]
The Legend Of Obi, The Coconut
Posted in Santeria, Witchcraft Articles on June 16, 2008 | 3 Comments »
The story you are going to read is a traditional Pataki (Yoruba legend) which tells the story of Obi, the coconut. Obis are sacred in Santeria, both as Eleggua’s sacred food and as a divinatory item by itself, which consists on four pieces of coconut shell that are used to ask simple questions to the [...]
Caught In The Act….

….of writing a new Witchcraft book! My husband just took this pics today, and as I was uploading them to the computer I noticed I hardly ever post pictures of myself, so here they are.
Can you hear my brains frying in this one LOL?
I am (hopefully) finishing Quantum Physics For Witches, an essay on the [...]

A New Place For Eleggua
Posted in Santeria, Tools Of The Craft, Witchcraft Articles on June 10, 2008 | 13 Comments »
All the images you will see in this post, except the one of the Child of Atocha, are from my new Eleggua altar. I can’t reveal many details from the ritual, which was both a homage to Eleggua and a cleansing ritual, but you can enjoy the eye-candy! Instead of explaining the ritual I’ll post [...]
