As a queer and woman owned business, we have a zero tolerance policy of homophobia, transphobia, racism, or hate of any kind. We recognize and honor that we operate on the ancestorial lands of the Manahoac tribe, and work every day to protect and preserve the earth by using recycled materials in our packaging whenever possible. We believe firmly that no human being is illegal, and that all have the right to live peacefully and free from persecution.

That is correct! We always aim to be as ethical as possible, and indigenous communities have requested that these two endangered and sacred plants be preserved for the cultures that rely on them for ancestorial practice. We offer many alternatives to white sage under our “Burnables” section, as well as pine fatwood, an alternative to palo santo. We are always open to feedback to improve our ethics, so feel free to reach out!

A staple of any working altar, mortars and pestles have been in use since the stone age, with the oldest written record of them dating back to Egypt in 1500 BCE. We carry soapstone, cast iron, and wooden sets, each providing its own unique hand-feel and grind.
Soapstone: Great for kitchen witchery. The non-porous surface does not absorb oils from herbs and spices, ensuring flavor fidelity
Cast Iron: Ideal for grinding resins and tougher, woodier herbs. A workhorse that can take a beating.
Wood: Best option for softer and more delicate herbs. The wood will absorb the oils of more aromatic herbs and can affect flavors if used for culinary purposes.
A staple of our booth, now available online! At this time, we’re not able to allow you to choose specific stones. Stone requests can be made in the form that appears after you hit “add to cart”, and if the stone you’re looking for is available when we process your order, we will honor it! PLEASE DO NOT REQUEST STONES THAT ARE NOT IN THE LIST BELOW. The stones available will change every restock.
Stones available:
Opalite, Tiger’s Eye, Chevron Amethyst, Labradorite, Smelting Quartz, Blue Sandstone, Crazy Agate
Immerse your senses and enhance your next rite with our Ritual Body and Spell Oil! Made with herb-infused jojoba oil and cosmetics grade essential and scent oils to nourish both the mind and spirit. These oils can be used to anoint yourself, dress candles, or as an ingredient in spells of any kind.
Each bottle is blended to order with one of our custom scents:
“Mystic Fire”: Commissioned as the official ritual oil for the Mystic Fire Retreat, this oil invokes the quiet reflection of the dark half of the wheel of the year. Lush winter woods and a warm hearth, accompanied by the crisp chill of the coming frost invites you to give thanks for what the harvest has provided, and prepare for the coming of a new spring.
“Lilith”: Feel the fires of radical self-worth rise as we invoke the Mother of Rebellion. Created in collaboration with Lilithian practioner and mentor Tava Baird, sacred spice and smoldering embers open the door to revolutionary acceptance and an alternative view of existence.
“Hades and Persephone”: While Hades is not generally depicted in Ancient Greek illustrations, honoring his role as the unseen one, he is depicted in the art adorning temples to his wife, Persephone. This oil is inspired by their bond, the blending of darkness and light, the end and beginning of life. The scent blend features their famous pomegranate, rich woods and an undertone of musk.
“Fast Millionaire”: Need a little extra abundance in your life? This ritual oil is perfect for removing the blocks in your cash flow and maximizing your prosperity.
“Candy, Sex, and Leather”: Our take on Attraction Oil. This alluring scent profile creates a confident, sensual energy to attract what you desire, whether that be external love, self love, success, or admiration. Sweet notes act as a magnet to your goal, while warm leather and bright citrus keep it close.
“Reveal All”: Use this oil to aid in your divination practices! Basil is the star of this blend, honored as the “witch’s herb” and serves as a protective element, while rosemary and lavender open your mind to messages from the universe.
