Seasons greeting, witches.
Winter is finally upon us. As the cold and darkness begin to permeate the air, tis the time to light candles, burn sage, and draw baths filled with bright red's dragon blood. The magical items provided on this list have all been suggested by self-identified witches and are perfect holiday presents for you, your supreme, or any other member of your coven.
1. Witch Baby Bath Bombs
The bath is a place for ritual, spells, manifestations, and moon magic. Let's make it a bit luxurious too. "Handmade with the finest witchy ingredients," Witch Baby bath bombs are a delightful combination of relaxation and witchcraft. Popular bath bombs include Dragon's Blood, Godmother, and Graveyard. All the bombs are reasonably priced, ranging from $5-8.
2. A Ritual Vault from Skeleton Key Shop
Think of the ritual vaults from Skeleton Key Shop as a witch's starter-pack. In each vault comes a variety of items perfect for the modern day magic-practicer, including sugar scrubs, ritual ointments, bath bombs, loose tea, and soap. Each vault also has a specific theme such as "goddess" or "revenge."
3. Chakrubs
As described on their site, "Chakrubs are sex toys made from natural crystal that bring a sense of sacredness to your playtime." Crystals supposedly have a perfect molecular structures that affect our electro-magnetic fields, and when our energetic bodies are at ease, we are at ease, allowing us to fully experience the vast ranges of pleasure that come with sexual intimacy. That's why Chakrubs are an ideal gift for the sensual witch looking to tie magic into her sex life.
4. The Three Magical Books of Solomon: The Greater and Lesser Keys & The Testament of Solomon.
The Greater and Lesser Keys describe how to use King Solomon's magic, explaining the operation of conjurations, curses, and spells, as well as the proper attire, purification rituals, and additional factors needed to successful craft Solomon's magic. All three magical works of Solomon are together in one volume. The testament gives a historical account of the magic used by Solomon himself.
5. Slutist Tarot
Created by Morgan Claire Sirene, the Slutist Tarot is a sex-positive and feminist Tarot deck that flips traditional Tarot readings' heteronormative script. "My intention in creating The Slutist Tarot," Sirene explains, "is to tell the Fool's Journey through the archetype of The Maiden. The Maiden is seen as a young femme and she represents the divine feminine; a spiritual aspect of ourselves that is not limited to feminine persons." In the classic tarot narrative, the querent (For whom a Tarot reading is given) is expected to identify with cis male archetypes - regardless of their own gender identity. The Slutist Tarot, conversely, has the querent's journey reflected in The Maiden.
6. Coventry Creation Candles
Coventry Creations is a supplier of numerous candles specifically created for witches. Two candles of theirs in particular stand out: Witches Brew and Evil Eye. The Witches Brew is a black candle scented with rare resins, herbs, and dragons blood along with other essential oils. Frankincense, Myrrh and Mugwort strengthen the spirit and enlighten the soul. Evil Eye is a bright blue candle scented with juniper, rose, and vetivert -- all of which foster protection.
7. Energy Muse Crystals
Energy Muse is the place to go for all your crystal needs. They have clusters, points, spheres, touchstones, and tumbled stones. As they say on their website, there's a stone for every intention. Having trouble sleeping? Get a Celestite Crystal. Want more joy and positivity in your life? Buy a Green Apophyllite with Stilbite Cluster. And if you're looking for love?
