What ever your craft, there is a witchin' element, a magick to it when you pour your heart and soul and magick into what you adore- something happens.
It becomes more than a song, more than a painting, poem or scarf. It is a charm, it is an expression of something full of wonder. It is unique and beautiful.
If you want to, if you feel the need to buy your magick fix then use this urge to support those who turn their craft into magick and put magick into their craft. For some it is in making things grow, for sowing, pruning, potting and re-potting, the crumble of the "right" kind of soil between their finger. Things that they grow are different, brighter, greener, infused with a sense of something "other". This like my friend Marie. She walks her pagan path her way. It is how she decorates her house (goth chic darlings) in how she rescues all the cats, how she bakes (oh how she bakes) and how she gardens in turning an urban space into a witchy haven. It is how she raises her step-son and loves her husband (not short on his own witchin').
There is of course Francesca, writer, poet, singer and making of beautiful art. Her qualities and unique beauty shine through it all.
Her silk paintings
Then there is Brittany. Now I am bias. I have always adored everything she does. Yet more than that her sense of creativity, scientific know-how, business brain and loving heart radiate a power and presence in all her work. From the labels she designs and prints herself. The scents, therapeutic qualities and the magick of her soaps, perfumes, skin care, and hair products, all of which she makes by hand; blows me away. Sometimes she beats herself up for "not having it as pretty as.." yet it is all so beautiful. This craft and passion come from her magick. It is elegant and effective, powerful and playful. Her witch witchin' (not to mention her cooking) is pretty damn good too. Yet she wears her witchin' lightly, never feeling the need to belittle others or thrust her power in a space.
A few of my favorites are:
Her ritual bath salts and potions
Her enchanting perfumes
Her handmade soaps
Salts and ritual cleansing are important to me and it is always nice to use something with a kick in it before you do anything.
Hecate being a Goddess Brittany works with often this stuff kick-ass!
If your craft is getting someone the perfect bra (a miracle in it's own way) walk that path. Magick isn't just wand waving and pretty stones it is in following your passion to the benefit of everyone around you.
