What's new: Some new pics of the new, bigger and improved soaps. These are HUGE. Hence the price change! But you are getting DOUBLE the soap you were before :)

My Loved Sally Owens Soap now with an Oatmeal base as well.

Another loved soap of mine, Opium Dreams. Again, these are all double in size!

Newest thing to the shoppe is Sprays. 

Both body safe and room/area spray safe.

Request your scents! 

Sally Owens before I cut it, just made.

Rusalki soap loaf before it is cut.

Another very new addition to the shoppe is washes.

 I have many more to come to the shoppe that I will actually be making tonight! 

This particular one is a purification wash.

Aside from that, I have been super busy catching up on orders because you all have kept me pretty busy since I have re-opened from my shoppes vacation. Thank you so much everyone for your continued support making this all possible, I am honored that you all love my ideas and items so much. I so look forward to creating new items as well as custom items for you! I appreciate it more than you guys know!! Pretty much anything you have on your mind for an item you would like me to create, message me and I will work with you :)

Lastly, this is just a little something I wanted to share with you guys that I thought was cool, this is something that my mom actually found inside of our home. Pretty awesome. Looks super old. Have no idea who these people are but definitely cool. My house is from the 1800's like I have said before so this definitely looks like something that is from that era.

    A coupon that is valid all summer until September 1st in my shoppe: "MagickSummer" for 15% off!

Moving and pictures

So the shoppe has re-opened even though I said June 1st, I got my computer all set up today and couldn't wait. New things should be in the shoppe by next week. I'm excited to get started on everything!

Moving was a crazy and long process, but all worth it. I am still unpacking my bedroom but things are coming along great!

Home <3 My amazing neighborhood. Back to what I know, back to the sticks this witch goes! :) lol

One of my neighbors, 2 doors down, a pre-civil war cemetery. 

This is where I grew up, some would not be a fan of seeing tomb stones from their kitchen window. We love it, wouldn't change it for the world.

This is actually around the corner, my other neighbor, a second cemetery.

most of my teen years were spent here, hanging out on this swing in the cemetery.

In case some of you don't know, I live & grew up in a 4 story home built in the 1800s in a historic village among the South Jersey Pine Barrens. Don't know what that is? Google "Weird NJ" or "The Jersey Devil" that should be able to shed some light. Lots of ghost stories & creature mythology surrounding my area. My town has a "small town" feel to it, but its not, It is actually pretty big and is known mostly for its lakes, local farmers & forested areas. Really an amazing place to live and a wonderful place to raise a family thats why I am so glad to bring my daughter back here!

Okay, so real quick: Can anyone explain to me when it became "trendy" or "cool" to pretend to be into "new age" things, "spirituality" "the occult"? When did this all happen?! It makes me shake my damn head, Witchcraft is not a trend, fashion, or something that "looks cool" even though several trendy retail stores that shall remain nameless think that selling shirts or necklaces with a pentagram or the eye of horus on them makes these little hispters look "mysterious" or "badass". Haha. Ugh. Silly scenesters, the occult is not fashion show or hobby. I think it is an amazing thing if someone is finding themselves by seeking spirituality or genuinely have an interest in such things. But to "dress" the part because you think it makes you appear "rebellious", then I can not respect that what so ever. Tarot cards and crystals are not cool "props" for your instagram or facebook photos and not something that should be taken lightly.

Anyway, on to better and more interesting, positive things: What you ladies & some gents are here for, to read and see behind the scenes of my shoppe :)

Newer look to some of my things, in case you didn't catch my facebook posts, I will be revamping my shoppe when it re-opens. All of my bottles, oils and things like that will be labeled for have a picture of some kind on them. 

This is a spell set of oil and a handmade loaded candle, The Lovers.

Below is my Enemy Ritual Brew. Can be used either to banish enemies, stop rumors from circulating or to lay tricks.

Heres another change; this is my NEW AND IMPROVED, and VERY POPULAR "I smell Children" soap. It is no longer a white (which turns brown because of the vanilla content) yogurt base. It is twice the size and formulated with a "vanilla stable" base meaning it will NOT turn! Horray! Instead of a 1lb loaf, it is not made with 2lbs.

MUCH thicker, and you will tell the difference if you have bought my soaps, especially this particular one!

Right after I poured my soap, letting it set. This is what a loaf looks like.

Soap in its raw form before it is melted, scented, dyed or loaded up.

Boiling up some SOY wax for a Summer Solstice candle for a client.

Just poured!

Still settling, all labeled up.

Made some SOY Summer Solstice Wax Melts, smell Divine <3

Just poured Palm wax Dragons Blood Votives

A palm wax set of melts that will all be sold together with the 2 votives once my shoppe re-opens.

Use these black Dragons blood candles in ceremonies to increase spell potency for protection, love and sexuality. Halt Hexes, Rid Negativity, Protect yourself and your space as well as draw in love! Can't go wrong with Dragon's Blood or black candles! A staple on every witches Altar :) 

How you receive your soaps, all different ways of wrapped but each is wrapped with care!

Changes coming to the shoppe: New Labels, Bigger soaps, More oils&brews, Home Washes, Body washes and MORE bath salts, Body Sprays and much MUCH more. Can't wait to share it all with you guys.

I am still in the process of moving and all my things are boxed up and scattered!It is driving me insane!!! I can not wait to be settled. This weekend the move begins, shoppe re-opens June 1st! Thank you for your patience to my loyal clients and to my future ones, I can't wait to do business with you.

In natural form, good morning from the Witch behind it all! Have an amazing day.

Bless )O(

Hello All,

Welcome to my very new blog. 

So, this post is for those of you who don't know who I am, where I came from or what I'm about. So here is all that plus some random facts about me and pictures!

Where to start? Well, I am 26 years old (going on 27 in August). Born and raised in Southern New Jersey. I still live there with my family & cats. I live out in the sticks! :) My home is in a historical village, built in the 1800s. I am married, my husband and I have been together since 2006, married in October 2009. People say he is lucky, but I beg to differ, I think I am the lucky one. He is my biggest supporter, my best friend, my soul mate, HE IS ME in a guys body. We fit together perfectly, we believe we were meant to be together and there has never been a question otherwise. I also am a mother of one, my daughter is amazing. She will be 3 in July, and probably the coolest kid I have ever met and smart as hell!

My baby <3

Some fun things I used to do before I became a mommy and a housewife:

Doing Runway for Kambriel.

 For FedorasBox.com

Me, 2008 photoshoot for a book called "The New American Pin-up, Tattooed and Pierced"

I have soooo many pictures that I wouldn't even be able to find them all or know where to start! I had a blast doing it all. Websites, Runways, Shows, Conventions, Books, Concerts, etc. It was amazing and I met amazing people doing it as well as friends that will always have a part of my heart forever.

The Faction; Fabulous Freaks and memories that will never be forgotten!

Okay; next. I practice traditional witchcraft. Some people may find that offensive, creepy or think it's a joke but it is far from it. Let me break it down for you, I don't have "super powers", nor do I think I do. I can't make it rain, I can't fly, I have never watched Harry Potter, I'm not a wizard, I can't make things fly around the room, or anything else that you might think of when you hear the word "Witch".  I did not cast spells on my husband to fall in love with me and marry me, I do not worship the Christian Devil, I am not out to get anyone, I don't meddle or fuck with peoples lives for fun, I can't turn you into a frog, etc. The things you seen in movies about witches are completely false and silly, it's called entertainment! Don't be ignorant.

I come from a very spiritually open family. I was raised Roman Catholic and was a practicing Catholic until I was about 12, I made all my sacraments, went to CCD, the whole nine. Regardless of my families beliefs, they are very supportive of me and what I do, well, let's just say MOST of them. I am of Slovak and Sicilian decent, my mothers side were from Slovakia and my fathers side from Sicily. My mother believes she has intuition and has read cards since I was very young, she would read cards an Olde Fashioned European way of using playing cards to read others Fortune, I found it fascinating when people would be in awe of how accurate she was! My grandmother raised me on Slavic Folklore and believed in communicating with spirits, My aunts are also very into Angelic Magick and the spirit world. I come from a family that believes in Jesus Christ but is not afraid to pick up a spirit board or read tarot and do not believe in it being a "Sin".

I know most "Pagans" "Wiccans" and SOME "Witches" really dislike many Christians and Catholics and vice versa. I am not like most people that claim they were "forced" to be a certain religion growing up, I don't feel that way. I am not resentful or bitter that my parents baptized me or raised me in their belief because that is exactly what I intend to do with MY DAUGHTER. Since I am no longer a practicing Catholic, I DID NOT get her baptized because her father and I want her to make her own choice to do so when she is old enough and until then I am raising her the way I know how, to pass my beliefs onto her.

Confused or have no idea of what Witchcraft really is or what it means to be a witch? Well, there is NO "Set" way to be a witch. I think sometimes people confuse Wicca with Witchcraft, NOT the same thing. Other times people get caught up in "Initiation" and "covens". Covens are awesome, the more the merrier :D but not everyone wants to or can find that type of thing right for them. As far as initiation, that is okay by me if that is what YOU believe that you have to be initiated, that is YOUR RIGHT. But, you bet there IS such thing as a Solitary Traditional Witch, and I am one of them. Traditional Witches take FULL responsibility for whatever they do, whether they practice White or Black magick and most of all, they do not go by the Wiccan Rede.

So, who do I "worship"? Not just one in particular really. But I connect with many Deities, Gods, Goddesses, Angels, etc. Who are the main ones I honor almost everyday and am most drawn to?

Hekate, Hecate, Triple Moon Goddess

One of Hekates Celebration days is August 13th, Which is also my birthday. 

Definitely a strong connection there.

Saint Micheal, the Archangel

About my shoppe:
I have wanted to start my own shoppe for a couple years now, but as you may or may not know: it takes quite a bit of money to buy supplies and make things. So I waited until I could open my store, it is still not at the point that I would like, but only time will allow that to happen. I have almost always made my own supplies for ritual (with an exception of a few very trusty shoppes). I have always wanted to make candles and started doing so a little bit ago but mostly just scented ones. I used to buy chime and taper candles and dress them up accordingly with my own mixtures of herbs and oils for spell work. Most shoppes you will find that they name a candle something magickal, put literally nothing in the candle besides a scent and color it and say it is a "magickal candle" or "loaded" when its clearly NOT. I wanted to create something that you could definitely tell it was loaded and was loaded with SAFE to burn and the CORRECT herbs for the job ;) I do not and will not make my candles with cheap wax filled with chemicals. I use 100% pure soy wax as well as bees wax and Palm wax which comes from palm trees!

I also became in love with the idea of making soaps and taught myself all about things that are skin safe and starting experimenting, not only are the soaps I make good for your skin but they also contain herbs and resins that are used among spiritual practioners in magick, perfect for ritual bathing, cleansing and drawing, right? :) I also make ones that purely just smell good or are themed with something that I love like a movie, song, or something else amazing that inspires me. You will also find things like salts and scrubs in my shoppe with herbs and all natural oils. I make loose incense of herbs, flowers, seeds and resins which are to be burned on charcoal, in a cauldron or in a fire pit. I can also make any type of custom mojo bag that you can dream up or need. I mix up different oils with grapeseed oil for roller ball perfumes as well. I will not tell you something is safe to put on your skin if it is not, some shoppes don't bother though so be aware of it. ASK for ingredients because you deserve to know what you are putting on your skin.

My take on Originality: I do not look to other shoppes or sellers for inspiration, you will find that my shoppe is 100% me because of the things I sell have my heart in them and my name written all over it! Name another shoppe that sells witchcrafts and party monster inspired soap, lol. I am not into copy cats, nor am I into egos. I think it's in extremely bad taste and quite immature with all the crap that circles Witchcraft shoppes on Etsy and off of it. People act like they were the first witches on earth to open a Metaphysical shoppe, makes me SMH. Now it seems like everyone that has a shoppe thinks they were the originators of all, but sorry, no. All you hear about is people taking slams at other shoppes and saying they copied them, some are true, but most are out of their mind. Pft.



Anyway, On to the randomness:
I have 2 cats, Cuddles and Arnie, they are like my kids <3

My husband and I are both tattooed, my husband more heavily than me but that is ever changing and we are constantly getting dirty looks for it. We are not really bothered at all by it though, funny to us. We aren't as half as worried about people not being tattooed and people are about us having them lol.

I am a huge movie nerd, I have many. Love occult classics, Indie, 80s comedies and low budget and 70s-90s Horror. Funny; but I am probably the biggest Beetlejuice or Roseanne Barr fan you will EVER meet in your life! I can bet money on it.

Music is such a big part of my life, every single day as soon as a wake from the time I go to bed music is usually on. I listen to a random bunch of music from Jazz to Metal. Some of my favorites:
The Cure
Deftones
Goldfrapp
Type O Negative
Stevie Nicks
The Birthday Massacre
Cradle of Filth
The Postal Service
Rob Zombie
I could literally go on forever. My husband plays music, any song you ask him to play, he can whether its on drums or guitar. He used to be in several bands, that is actually how we met (and no I wasn't his groupie) haha. I hope that his musical talent gets passed down to our children.

I love reading, mostly books about mythology and the occult but also horror. My daughter LOVES reading which she definitely gets it from me, we read books all day long. Some awesome books include:
Aradia; Gospel of the witches
Disco Bloodbath
Gospel of the Filth
and of course my favorite spell book by Dorothy Morrison (who I adore), Utterly Wicked.


Okay, that is all I can think of. Feel free to ask anything you would like to know!
