White Magick Alchemy's Harvest Blessings

I feel so blessed on this Mabon, and celebrate with friends and family, the Grand Re-Opening of White Magick Alchemy!

I have been working on the re-building of my website for about a month now, working during the day on making and shipping my magickal offerings, and by night and well into the witching hours, working on the site. Although the site is up and running, my work has just begun. The whole family has come together to make this happen, including my littlest witch, Sydni, who has been working tirelessly along with me, packing orders, receiving our inventory, and keeping the studio and house tidy so that mama witch doesn't have to worry about the mundane. And my new personal assistant, Jessica, who has been working hard as well, keeping me organized and catering to my every whim... And of course, my beautiful boyfriend, who made sure all the animals were fed. He never once lost his patience with me, even when I worked well into the night and didn't remember a word he said the day before. My beautiful friends, Paul and Sonia, for all their hard work, patience and tireless efforts assisting me with building the new website. My new friend Bear, who after a long day of lounging and watching me walk back and forth, stepping over him, patiently walked with me as we enjoyed some fresh air in nature after a long day. And finally, to beautiful Toby, who was with me every step of the way too, in spirit... thank you all for your love and patience. For it is times like these, we stop and reflect, and behold in all of our blessings and give thanks for the abundance in our lives ~

Although we didn't get to celebrate Mabon in traditional fashion this year, we celebrate the fruits of our labors and the sacrifices endured with the opening of the new site. I am planning on taking this weekend off to relax, spend some time with my family and enjoy a Mabon bonfire with everyone, and somewhere there is feasting involved! Thank you to all my wonderful customers, who have become my dear friends, and I hope you all enjoy a lovely Mabon weekend! Now OFF to the Crystal Tub!

Magickal blessings to all this Mabon ~

White Magick Alchemy Debuts New Website on Mabon ~ Friday, 23rd September 2011

Greetings Everyone!~   We have been working for several months rebuilding our website and the new White Magick Alchemy will be unveiled on Mabon, 23rd September 2011, our Grand Opening!~ Its a very exciting time for us and we can't wait to share it with you! There will be new items available that you won't be able to find in my Etsy store too! I've been working day and night plugging in all my new magickal offerings in time for the Grand Opening!~


In business since 1994, we have had a presence on the internet for well over a decade, but we've been so busy that we haven't had the time to dig into the online shoppes and concentrate on building that aspect of the business. For years I had a large candle factory and retail shoppe, then one day I stumbled upon etsy and decided to give that a go. Little did I know that the White Magick Shoppe would end up being at the top in it's categories and be the largest pagan based spiritual shop on etsy! That is quite an accomplishment and I am thankful for the success White Magick Alchemy has had there.


The White Magick Shoppe was the first "Magick Shoppe' to open on Etsy offering a wide array as what I originally defined as "Witch Wares". In addition, White Magick was the first Etsy Shoppe to ever offer Sabbat offerings, uniquely crafted alchemy blends, smudge blends, infused resins and the first Shoppe to ever offer handmade spell and ritual candles, including my original uniquely crafted Witches Magick Alchemy candle (since 1996), the drippy candle design "adorned" with ribbons and charms, all harnessing that "Old World" feel and spirit. All of the offerings you see are my own original design concepts including the Sacred Ritual Boxed Spell Kits (a new spin on ritual spell kit designs), Witch Bottle Necklaces, "Herbal Alchemy", uniquely designed potion bottles and brews, Faerie Magick Votives, Treasure Candles and so much more!~ 


In about 48 hours the new White Magick Alchemy will be open online! Please join us on Facebook to stay up to date on all of my new offerings and the site launch. Facebook Fans also receive special discounts and coupon codes too!

Shielding Tragic Magic ~

Feeling negativity coming at you from all directions? Its tragic really, how people take advantage of others, use others, harm others. Tragic Magic contains a special proprietary blending of organic herbs, woods and roots harnessed with energy to remove this type of harmful energy. Helps to remove personal obstacles, freeing oneself within from the hurt and harm being put upon you while shielding negative influence. As it shields, it also sends back that same negativity that is being forced upon you while setting the karmic wheel in motion for the sender to receive his or her karmic retribution.

I'm a believer in universal energy, and believe what you put out there, will return to you. I believe that if you put out positive energy and stay true to yourself and not put hurt upon others, you will pop out the other side, even when negativity is being forced upon you. I had recently been experiencing some negativity coming from a few women who unfortunately, have been plagued with evil eye.  I felt I needed to protect myself, hence, the creation of my Tragic Magic ritual oil.

Tragic Magic's oil fusion was carefully planned, prepared then charged. I used my Witches Shield Herbal Alchemy candle during the ritual and the results were amazing! What I learned from this experience is that even though I was being targeted (and will prolly continue to be targeted) I not only was able to shield myself, but something magickal was created as a result. A whole new line of handmade oils, candles and herbal potions I named "Alchemist Tree".

These alchemical oils are created with all-natural ingredients including blessed organic herbs, some with aromatic pure essential oils, resins, and sweet almond and jojoba oils. The oil fusion is carefully prepared for each intent, each batch created with special care and charged under the appropriate moon phase upon an altar of beautiful towering crystals, billowing cauldrons of incense, and a powerful charge of white magick.

An Old World secret blending, each oil is very potent. Infused with powerful herbs, these amazing oils are naturally scented with mainly just the aromatic and magickal essences of the herbs, thus releasing their energies into the spell oil. Only a tiny bit of essential oils are used, and I found that after preparing these oils, no additional essential oils were even necessary! The smell absolutely amazing simply infused with these aromatic herbs!

Soy vs. Paraffin Wax ~ Facts and Myths

You may have heard stories about the benefits of soy wax or about how paraffin wax is unhealthy or not good for you. Actually, I have been wanting to touch upon this subject for a few months now, but it was a customer of mine who inspired me to write about the topic sooner than later. In this story, we will examine the myths and rumors and give you the straight facts on both soy and paraffin wax candles and allow you to see what the truth and the fuss is all about.

Paraffin

• Paraffin wax was discovered in 1850 and is a derivative of crude oil. It is made by removing the waxy substance from oil during the refining process. Paraffin wax is odorless, tasteless and white in color. Most candles are composed of paraffin because of its a steady burn. Paraffin is also found in a number of products, from drywall, waxed paper, glide wax (for snowboards and skis), crayons and cosmetics. Some Paraffin waxes are also edible. Food-grade paraffin is used to coat candy, preserve food, and seal canning jars.

Soy

• Soy wax is a form of soybean oil that was discovered in 1991. Soy wax, on the other hand is made from vegetable matter. The wax-making process involves harvesting the soybeans and or vegetable matter, and rolling them into flakes. The oil is withdrawn from the flakes where it is then hydrogenated (mixed with hydrogen gas). This process allows the oil to be solid at room temperature. Soy wax is white in color and comes in pellet and flake forms. This wax is mainly used in container candles as it has a lower melting temperature than other waxes such as paraffin and beeswax. However, soy candles can be made from a mixture of soy, paraffin, and beeswax to avoid this problem. Soys application is best used in container candles. It is extremely difficult to make good pillar candles and votives out of 100% pure soy wax. Since soys consistency is much softer, the use of soy wax in pillars can only be obtained by the use of additives to harden the wax. Additives include animal and poly~based (plastic) hardeners that are best used for pillar applications. Paraffin wax is still a much better solution for pillar candle applications.

 Myths

• There are many myths associated with paraffin vs. soy candles. Soy candle manufacturers created many of these myths in an attempt to sell more candles. Unfortunately, many people have bought into these lies which have little to no truth to them. These claims include:
• --Paraffin wax is hazardous to your health.
  --Soy wax is made with all natural ingredients causing it to be safer than paraffin.
  --Soy wax produces no soot.
  --Paraffin is not biodegradable.
  --Soy wax burns cleaner.

The Facts

• All candle waxes are non-toxic. Food-grade paraffin is approved by the FDA and is used in food and cosmetics. Many manufacturers use food-grade paraffin to make their candles. Crude oil (used to make paraffin) is a naturally occurring substance that is found underneath the Earth's surface. It is a decomposition of lost civilizations, plants and animals. Both soy wax and paraffin wax are derived from natural substances. These natural substances go through a refining process to create the wax product. Paraffins association to petroleum is false, as it is simply a derivative of crude oil which is a natural resource. Petroleum is also a derivative of crude oil, but paraffin and petroleum are two separate compositions. Soy wax is not any more natural than paraffin wax.

• Many soy candles are not 100 percent natural. Since soy wax is softer than other waxes, chemical hardeners are added to make the wax more durable. In addition, many of the dyes and fragrances used in soy candles are not 100 percent natural. Even if a soy candle contains only 100 percent natural ingredients, it does not mean it is safer or healthier. Many naturally occurring plants and substances have been proven toxic to humans and animals, even in small amounts.

• All burning organic materials emit soot. Soot free candles do not exist. Paraffin candles will emit a black colored soot when burned. Soy candles can emit black soot and a white colored soot that cannot be seen. The amount of soot emitted by a burning candle will mainly depend on the length of the wick and flame disturbance. The myth regarding a candle producing soot will depend upon the length of the wick and the flame disturbance. The longer the wick, the more soot will be emitted. Trimming candle wicks to the recommended length can eliminate this problem.
• Paraffin, beeswax, and vegetable waxes are all biodegradable.

• All types of waxes are primarily composed of hydrocarbons causing them to burn similarly. Soy wax and paraffin wax are both hydrocarbons. They both burn safely and cleanly.

Conclusion

• There is no better wax out there in regards to health hazards. Paraffin wax candles and soy wax candles are equally safe to burn and enjoy. In the end, both paraffin wax and soy wax are both good choices for candle wax. Neither is more "environmentally friendly" than the other, as there has never been scientific evidence that paraffin wax is harmful to your health in any way at all. It is a personal choice of which type you prefer to use. In my personal experience in candle making, I prefer paraffin wax as opposed to soy wax. I believe that soy wax burns faster or perhaps at the same rate as paraffin wax does, and it also burns hotter I have found, contrary to the soy wax industry claims. Which is why when burning soy candles, you can't burn them for long periods of time. Glass containers become hot and can shatter and crack. Paraffin wax, on the other hand, can burn for several hours at a time and are good for container and pillar applications.  Always remember to keep wicks trimmed to keep the flame burning evenly.

And all of our wax is recycled and reused so we never put anything back into the environment. We also use eco friendly power like solar to cut back on our earths precious resources.

Using only the finest aromatic pure essential, essence and botanical oils derived from all-natural, wild grown plant extracts throughout the regions of the world, we take pride in knowing that our candles burn purely without the intrusion of any unnecessary chemical additives.

Golden Harvest of Mabon

Mabon marks the point of the Autumn Equinox and is the second harvest as we begin to store our years crops for the coming winter months. As the day and night are divided equally at this time, we anticipate the coming of the impending darkness of winter.

Traditional symbolism of a cornucopia, overflowing with the years harvest, spills over in abundance, filled with apples, corn, and pumpkins as we celebrate the bounty and blessings that have been bestowed upon us.

Abundance is everywhere this season, and we tend to take for granted those who have been there for us during times of abundance and also during times of sadness. Celebrate friendship! Reflect upon the close friendships you have established and nurtured throughout the years, and don’t forget your animal familiars and animal friends. For they have helped make our abundance possible by reminding us that there is love and beauty surrounding us both spiritually and emotionally. 

Golden Harvest of Mabon Candles are filled with the essence a cornucopia of Tree Ripened Red Apples, Granny Smith Green Apples Nestled in Oak Leaves and Dewy Oak Moss. Sprinkled on the top are Mabon herbs, woods and flowers.

The Magick of Garnet ~

Garnet is the stone of romance, passion and protection. The Garnet is also known as a powerful healing stone. Its power helps to shield and release negative energies sending negative energies back to where they originated from. In historic times, Garnets were set into shields, swords, armor and jewelry as the Garnet was revered as the "Stone of Protection". The Garnet is also a favorite of Faeries~!

A garnet gemstone under a pillow is said to prevent bad dreams. Garnet is also a protective energy stone which is especially effective for protection from evil. It is also often used for spiritual healing. The Garnet is commonly known as the stone for a successful business. If your business is not as good as it should be, place garnets on your desk, and improvement should be forthcoming.
