The Month Of The Dead – Day 31

The last post of this series has arrived. First of all, I would like to thank all those who have favourited, commented and emailed on the previous thirty posts, and wish you the most magickal and powerful Samhain ever! Despite the joy of having a party later (it’s 10:30 AM as I write this), my [...]

The Month Of The Dead – Day 30

We just arrived from the Tarot session – not bad, but certainly not as good as we expected. Sorry guys, but we completely forgot the camera! Really looking forward tomorrow, when we will be celebrating with my brother and his girlfriend, in the most relaxing way possible.

The Month Of The Dead – Day 29

Only a few posts left to finish this series of posts – and boy has it been a challenge to post every single day! We finally accepted we’re not having our wares sold at the Tarot session (we may have it for November’s session, though), so we just worked on some offerings and witchy new [...]

The Day Of The Dead – Day 28

Today it must be one of those days where Loki is rampant in the world, or maybe the Spirits of the Dead are particularly mischievous this year, because it’s been one of those days of what-else-could-go-wrong.

The Month Of The Dead – Day 27

Our water heater broke, so Fernando has spent all day fixing it (no worries, it’s almost done), and I’ve been sorting batch after batch of jewelry, bagging, tagging and pricing – and I’m not still half way.

The Month Of The Dead – Day 25

The mail woman woke us up with a swap from Kiki, the owner of Poppyswap, with whom we are exchanging our fabulous Artemisia (and other secret herby things) for some of her nettle seeds and her wonderful moxa, which is made with mugwort and used in acupuncture to enhance healing. Thanks so much Kiki! We [...]

The Month Of The Dead – Day 24

The day started with a ton of orders to pack and ship, and the arrival of the Flora prints, which I hope can be listed today, because they are truly lovely! Newsletter #5 was sent, and off I went for the day’s appointments: readings mostly. An incredibly time-consuming job, but always a rewarding experience, as [...]

The Month Of The Dead – Day 23

Today, we prepared the week plan to fit all the preparations for the Tarot session and the Halloween party+rituals. I made some Day of the Dead themed bracelets (they will be listed next week after the session), started choosing and repairing/cleaning displays and worked on a Halloween bunting made of cardboard for our living room.
