Just Listed: Money Magic Kits – And New Promotion!

(click on any of the pics to be taken to the listing)

Only three sets available!

These kits have been put together with the intention of providing you will all the elements you need to make Money Magic work for you, either using them all together in one spell, or separately as you prefer. The possibilities are as many as your experience and creativity in the Craft.
Each set contains:
- 1 bag of Money Drawing Spell Herbs. This completely new mixture has been made with 13 herbs and 3 powdered resins. It can be used to cast the spell’s circle, to fill amulet bags, to be sprinkled around your business/wallet, and of course they can be burnt as incense.*
*Note – these herbs were chosen for their money drawing properties and not because of their scent. When burnt, they have a very strong, woodsy scent. Not a bad scent, but remember, this is not aromatherapy, it’s Magic.
- Two bottles of 3 ml./ 0.10 liquid ounce each of Money Oil and Road Opening Oil. To anoint candles, amulet bags or even yourself. These are almost odourless, as they have been made without any chemical fragrances.
- 1 Ekeko holy card. Ekeko is one of the Central America gods of abundance – dressed as a travelling seller packed with goods, he is much revered in Santeria and every house has one to protect its wealth and business. I have worked with him extensively and he is very generous! Offer him rum, cigars, sweets, coins, small toys, and anything that represents your wishes.
- 1 Horseshoe charm with a green Evil Eye bead, to protect your finances from negativity. The charm can also be anointed with the oils to enhance its power, and kept in your wallet or bag, or pinned to the inside of your clothes with a safety pin.
- 3 Buzio (Cowrie) shells, which represent money and abundance. The shells can also be anointed with the oils to enhance their power, and kept in your wallet or bag.
- Two Guinea Hen feathers, one green and one yellow, to tie them to an amulet bag, keep them in your abundance altar, etc. Sizes vary from set to set, but they’re between 1 and 2 inches/ 2,5 to 5 cms.
- 1 Mechita, so you can make an oil lamp. You can add a drop of the oils included in the set, a pinch of the herbs, and even the cowrie shells.

ALL items included in this set have been made by us. They will come to you in a protective box, so you can keep all items together until you use them.

And, this week, we have a new promotion! Every order will receive a beautiful Mano Poderosa Holy Card made by us. No minimum purchased required!

Promotion open while supplies last. Digital items and Services (Tarot, Candle Work and Spellwork)  are not included, as they do not require shipping.

Listed Today: Winter Holidays Colouring Pages!

I have just listed the first (of many I hope) set of colouring pages, called Winter Holidays! This digital PDF file contains two full-page illustrations, two half-page illustrations and a page with four ornaments to decorate your home. You can see all the illustrations included on the picture above, and if you click on it, you will be taken to the Etsy listing where you can purchase it.

When I was a child, I didn’t like the colouring books that were available – all the designs were too simple, or just downright ugly, so I would trace the illustrations I liked from my books in my mother’s pattern drafting paper and colour them. That influenced my work and my style more than any drawing book I have studied as an adult – and that is also the reason that I have made this booklet and will continue to do more of them regularly: because I believe children are no less receptive to good art than adults are.

Colouring is not only for children! It is proved that colouring (and drawing) enhances concentration, improves fine motor skills, eases anxiety and – and this is the most important part for Witches – enhances your imagination. Colouring, just as so many other crafts, IS healing, and certainly it IS Magic.

All the drawings have been made entirely by hand, as all the work we do – no digital editing besides scanning the originals. With our work, we are always trying to infuse the love of handmade to our customers, and we firmly believe our customers’ children deserve no less!

Untitled

One customer, ten candles, ten petitions, the Blue Moon, and Saint Michael’s help to put it all together. Some of the most beautiful and powerful spell works I have made were inspired by customers’ requests and suggestions. The realization that no matter how many times I’ve done this, there are (and there will be) moments of profound awe and wonder, that will transform and empower my work forever. Being a Witch is a very hard, sometimes discouraging job, but moments like this one make it all worth, and remind me once more why I do what I do, and what it brings to myself and to others.

Tetragrammaton Charms I and II (Sold Separately)


Wire-wrapped charm featuring a detailed embossing of Eliphas Levi’s Tetragrammaton Pentagram, which was created for protection in all areas. Tetragrammaton means “the four letters” and correspond to the letters YHWH, which refer to the name Yahweh. In the Hebrew tradition, the name Yahweh should not be spoken as it could be blasphemed, so the acronym stands for it and instead, mankind should name Yahweh as “the Lord” or any other appropriate substitution. On the back of the medal, inscribed inside the Star Of David, the letters read TZION, which is another name for the city of Jerusalem.

Eliphas Levi is an essential author on the history of ceremonial magic. Occultist, writer and spiritualist, he designed the pentagram as a recreation of the universe, both at its macrocosm and microcosm states, conjuring wholeness, balance and protection for the wearer. This is what you can see on the front of the medal.

Owl Spirit Charm

The owl is a symbol of knowledge, of growth, of the power of the mind and its ability to see beyond the surface and penetrate the mysteries of wisdom. If you need to find more focus, concentration and insight in your life, this charm could be your helper.

All Saint’s Cross/ Scapular Cross Charm

The All Saint’s Cross, also called Scapular cross, is a very popular protection charm in Latin Santeria. On the front, the cross depicts The Holy Spirit, Jesus Christ, Saint Joseph, Saint Christopher and the Virgin Mary. On the back, it depicts Our Lady Of Fatima, Saint Anthony Of Padua and the Holy Child Of Atocha. It is used for general protection against negativity, harmful witchcraft and any kind of dangerous spirit.

Saint Benedict’s Charm

Saint Benedict’s medal is one of the oldest and most powerful charms of Christianity against any kind of negative spirit activity. Although I don’t personally believe in possession, I do know for a fact that negative, vengeful, destructive spirits do exist, and that many times they torment and feed on living beings. I have used this medal many times on customers with terrible nightmares, poltergeist activity in their homes, haunted spaces, etc., with great results.

—————————–

Each charm has double wire-wrapping, making it almost impossible to break or come loose. On the top, each charm has a lobster clasp so you can hang it very easily from a chain or cord. If you want the clasp removed, let me know when making your purchase.

Reed Pens – Handcarved Set Of Two – For Your Sigils, Book Of Shadows, Spell Writing

Set of two calligraphy reeds, chosen randomly from the four sets we have available. The reeds were widlharvested by us at a ravine in Anaga, Tenerife, and dried and carved by Fernando. Each set contains two reeds, one thinner and one fatter, wrapped in satin ribbon with a lovely moon charm – a perfect gift for yourself, or for someone you love. On the pic below you can see a test made with my own set, which was the prototype. I used thinned acrylic paint instead of ink, and worked just as well as you can see. I had never used them before, and I am in no way a calligrapher – if they were easy for me at first try, I’m sure you will do wonders with them!

The reed pens are perfect for your best Book Of Shadows pages, and the hard fiber of reeds allows you to write on other materials like vellum, leather, and of course all kind of papers. If after much use the point gets a little blunt, you only need to wait until it’s dry and sharpen it a bit with an exacto knife.

The Spirit In The Root

Those of you who have been reading this blog for a while will remember this pic, taken last summer at our roof garden. It’s our Mirabilis Jalapa plant, grown from seeds that we brought from a ravine in Anaga. After flowering all summer and giving us an extremely generous amount of seeds, the plant withered quickly and died. With much care, we dug the root and left it to dry all winter on a warm and dark place beside the kitchen.

Yesterday it was, as you know, Resurrection Sunday. The root had been drying for about 5 months, so we thought it was a very propitious date to wake it up. We took it our of its dormancy, looking like this:

We cleaned off all small roots, carved a mouth and eyes, and inserted two antique jet beads in the eye holes, taken from the necklace I wore at our wedding.

The root spirit bed was made using a rose soap box I got from a dearly loved friend. A mattress was created with herbs, flower petals and an antique handkerchief from my collection of fabrics.

Several charms, bones, seeds and other gifts were placed in the box along with the root.

The ritual for waking it up was made then – I’m not giving details on this, sorry. We gave the spirit offerings of milk, honey and blood, and kept a candle lit all night. Along the next weeks, we will continue to feed it and empower it, and very soon it will be one of the most powerful talismans in the Temple.

I have written this post to serve as an inspiration if you want to try at creating a spirit root talisman – but, I have to say, this is not a work for beginners. Not because the process is complex or secret – if you have made talismans before and make a little research, you will see it is really easy. If this is not a work for beginners it is because of the commitment it requires; this talisman has to be fed regularly, shouldn’t be abandoned and must be given tasks to perform; if abandoned, it could cause quite a bit of trouble around you. The talisman must be seen, and treated, as the living thing it is, and not as a charm or a curio.

Obviously, to have this project starting at planting a seed as we did has tremendous extra power; although it also works well with plants taken from the wild, taking care of the process from its very beginning (a wildharvested seed) to the natural end of the plant’s life creates a connection of love that is there since the very first moment of its existence. So, if you want to take a root from your wildharvesting areas, I would suggest that you start a relationship with the plant, by visiting and leaving offerings, way before you harvest the root, to strengthen the bond as much as possible.

Just one last note – do your botanical research, because many roots used for this type of craft are highly toxic and should be handled with gloves. I personally don’t believe that a poisonous plant makes a more powerful talisman than a non-poisonous one; it depends on the Witch, on her/his path and its specific needs. Dandelion, jalapa and other tuberous roots are quite safe to be used and make excellent vessels for spirits.

Spring Cleaning For The Altar

The altar got a full makeover, and we finally gave Eleggua his tureen. The tureen is not an ornament, but a container of the Orisha’s power, that amplifies his energy. I would like to add that the gorgeous net-like curtain (which is actually a headdress) over the tureen was a gift from one of our patrons in Australia, and the tablecloth a gift from the always amazing Ms.Graveyard Dirt. I love adding such perfect gifts to the altar, as it reminds me everyday of how blessed we are to be surrounded by such exquisite souls.

New Items Listed: Statuary And Reliquary Boxes

Sacred Heart Of Jesus Figurine – Handpainted And One Of A Kind

Unique, handpainted figurine of Obatala/Sacred Heart Of Jesus made of marble powder, painted with acrylics using miniature painting brushes, and inspired by the colourways of Bizantine and Romanesque art, sober and saturated at the same time, and so Mediterranean. In Santeria, Jesus of Nazareth is syncretized with Obatala/Oxala, king of all Orishas and protector of Humanity. Obatala represents wisdom, patience and endless faith. He is the highest and purest Orisha, and only exquisite items are offered to him.

The figure measures 17 cms/6,6 inches. I have added a piece of real suede beneath it to avoid the piece from scratching your altar. It is a One Of A Kind piece that took several days of work to complete.

Handpainted OOAK Holy Mother And Child Statue – SOLD

This unique piece has been made handpainting with the utmost detail a chalkware image of the Virgin of Mount Carmel. Her dark-tone skin was inspired both in the beautiful Canarian woman, tanned by the sun, and by the Black Madonnas that are so famous in Spain and that are closely tied in history with the Templar order. Please open all the pics to see the details!

Mary wears a blue tunic with gold stars and a purple cape in fading tones which compliments her dark skin. The Holy Child wears an aubergine dress with gold sun-like rays, a reminder of Jesus being considered a solar deity. They stand on a gold and black platform, the lower part painted to resemble a gemstone. The colour scheme was inspired in the colours used to represent Erzulie, the Vodou Lwa of love.

Reliquary Boxes – For Amulets, Spells And Curios

Each box on this series has been aged to a dark brown inside, and painted on coordinating solid colours on the outside. As the wood is almost paper thin, the boxes are really exquisite and perfect for the most delicate items in your magickal cupboard like insects, bones, snake skin, jewelry, gems, etc. Look at the measurements – these are really, really small!
Measures:
Width: 2,7 x 3,7 cms / 1,1 x 1,4 inches.
Heigth: 1,9 cms / 0,7 inches.
