  1. Our party went great last night. First time I have fired up the cauldron since the start of the plague! I did not get a picture, but here's what I brewed, and it was delicious!

     

    Heated in my giant cauldron pot....

    2 kinds of good quality local apple juice....half the cloudy kind, half the clear kind.

    Added about 30% of the volume in Simply Lemondade (best brand!)

    Torani Blood Orange syrup, around 2 ounces per gallon.

    A couple spoonfuls of whole cloves and a couple whole cinnamon sticks

    Floated on top, mini apples, cut across in disks, so you can see the "star" inside the apple.

    Black Velvet Whiskey, lots.

     

    I think my pot holds around 2 gallons, and I made this twice. So in all it was 3 gallons in apple juice, a gallon of lemonade, and half a gallon of whiskey, if it helps you do the math, which is beyond my skills.

     

    Perfume-wise, the potions were a huge hit! I think we sold the most of Come to Me, The Eye, and Road Opener, but we sold some of every single one! Eloquence was met with dreamy sighs, Road Opener - same, with the locals exclaiming it smelled just like a walk in the woods, and Come to Me was grabbed up so fast we had to refill the display!

     

    I'm off to the shop again now, will come back tonight to give you a cheat sheet.

  2. I snapped pix last night of some keys for you guys. Keys are often used in magical workings to represent opportunities. 3 different sizes. The largest ones on the cords are the size of a real key roughly, and sell for $6.00. The others are mini. If you have a mojo pouch, you should add a key to it. Any key will do, it's just fun to have pretty ones sometimes.

    Oh, I am so amazed with them!

     

    @Potion Master will we get a cheat sheet maybe again? I love those!

     

    Yep on the cheat sheet. That's my new norm. Should have thought of it years ago. It helps me brew them, and helps Luna write the descriptions too.

    The labels are gorgeous! 🤩. And I’ll take that Peaceful Soul and Serendipity potions!  Thank you, Mara!  Hopefully, there will be a set of 5ml bottles to purchase?

    Of course, of course!

    YOU DID IT AGAIN MARA!

    YAAAAAY!

     

     

    Could not possibly have done it without you, Kimi. You, Izzy and me are a great team. ❤️

    Kimi prints the labels while Izzy bottles the potions, y'all! It takes a village, lol.

  4. 18 Spell Potions to help assure you have a wonderful year!

    There's a lot of overlap when it comes to spell potions, so check the notes for each too.

     

    ETA: Also, we decided to bottle these as a standard in the 5ml roll-ons. We did this so if you wanted to build your potion library/wardrobe with lots of them, it would be more affordable to do so. However, these will also be available in our other regular sizes...trials, 1/3 oz bottles, and spray bottles.

    AD-ComeToMe.jpg

    Come to Me

    Sexy and also commanding. Use this one in place of Fascination Potion or Persuasion Potion too, or any sex potion. I purposely crafted this one in layers, so you have to remember to shake it good!

     

    AD-CrownOfSuccess.jpg

    Crown of Success

    For success in all ventures. Can be used as a money potion and contains swirling gold mica, so shake it up!

     

    AD-Eloquence.jpg

    Eloquence

    To honey your tongue! Not literally of course, it's perfume!

     

    AD-FocusAcuity.jpg

    Focus & Acuity

    Clarity of thought. Also for Determination and Motivation.

     

    AD-HexBreaker.jpg

    Hex Breaker

    Not identical, but based off my earlier Black Cat Hex Breaker recipe. For removal of bad luck and bestowing new beginnings.

     

    AD-Ideate.jpg

    Ideate

    Creation and creativity potion. Fertility of body and mind. Immortality through creation. This one can also be used as a glamour or energizing youth potion.

     

    AD-LetItGo.jpg

    Let it Go!

    For helping you get rid of things, ideas, people. A cord cutting oil. You can dress a candle with this, or wear it while you do the task, then shower it off.

     

    AD-LookMeOver.jpg

    Look Me Over

    All ingredients are considered "magnetic". They turn heads, call attention, and attract fortunate circumstances. Iron ore has been added to the master bottle. Can also be used as a Glamour Potion or in place of Star Power or any popularity potion.

     

    AD-LoveDrawing23.jpg

    Love Drawing Potion

    Designed to fascinate and attract. This is a take on my "strawberry incense" recipe, and it's daytime safe, but can be used in place of any sex potion too.

     

    AD-LuckyVanVan.jpg

    Lucky Van Van

    Traditional lemony, grassy potion. Lots of lemony EOs, be mindful of sun sensitivity if wearing on exposed skin.

     

    AD-MoonMoneyMagick.jpg

    Moon Money Magick

    Work-safe money blend. Contains a little bit of pure silver flake to represent women and the Moon, so that's why you shake it up! (This recipe also makes for a lovely cocktail!) Use in place of Sweet Revenge Potion - as that one is a success potion - success being the best revenge!

     

    AD-PeacefulSoul.jpg

    Peaceful Soul

    Zen, calming and peaceful. This one encompasses both Peaceful Home and also for anxiety reduction and sleep.

     

    AD-ProtectBless.jpg

    Protect & Bless

    As the name suggests, this one is both for protecting and blessing!

     

    AD-RoadOpener.jpg

    PNW Road Opener

    There are no less than a million recipes for Road Openers. In this case, I thought I'd have a little fun with it and used only ingredients that can be found here in the Pacific Northwest. You want to use a dab of this to anoint a key, and carry it around with you to "open doors" of opportunity. We have cute and inexpensive decorative ones at the shop, so if you want a decorative one to wear, let us know!

     

    AD-Serendipity.jpg

    Serendipity

    A simple and delightful potion for the attraction of happy circumstances.

     

    AD-TheEye.jpg

    The Eye

    Psychic enhancer, intuition, opening of third eye, and connection to the divine and beyond the veil. Ingredients in folklore are for inducing visions and attracting spirits.

     

    AD-TripleGoddess.jpg

    Triple Goddess Oil

    Walk the Earth like a Goddess, and honor your ancestors, and all the women you have been and will be! Can be used in place of a Glamour Potion too.

     

    AD-WealthTonic.jpg

    Wealth Tonic

    Shake up the swirling pearl mica, for prosperity!

     

     

  5. Awesome, thanks so much everyone!

     

    ok, one more question:

    How do you feel about gold mica being in one of the money drawing potions? It's a strong potion element to have something glittering and gold, but I know some people are afraid mica might irritate the skin. It shouldn't bother you unless for example, you are allergic to eye shadow. It's pretty much inert.  Thanks!

    One more ask - if you end up brewing the serendipity/attraction potion, can it please not contain rose, strawberry, pineapple, or melon? I am allergic to the fruits and rose is revolting to me for some reason. 

     

    Thank you! ❤️

     

    I can accommodate that, thank you for mentioning it. Most of those ingredients wouldn't be my choice for this kind of potion anyway...love drawing and fertility magic is really what that list entails. :)

    My suggestions / wants are as follows:

     

    1. Money/Prosperity Potion  
    2. Luck - just for luck, like Lady Luck was... Luck/fast money
    3. Gimme Money (the blend from 2018 was so effective)
    4. Crown of Success

     

    Thank you, DD. I am really trying to hunt down the old recipes from 2009 and forward to try to reproduce some of those older ones that people especially loved.

    I appreciate your input! xoxox

     

     

    Another question for everyone....do you want pheromones in any of these? Or shall we do just do pure, powerful spell potions, and save all the pheromone additions for the next NRs - Pherotine?

     

    Personally, I would love these to be all phero-free, people can always layer pheros with similar intent with them after all. But I do not want to disappoint anyone!

     

     

  8. I'm brewing, I'm brewing!

     

    Check out the first post again. I added an asterisk for each time a potion was mentioned, so you can see which has the most stars and which ideas are the most popular thus far. Feel free to continue to suggest or help me narrow down and combine similar ideas.

     

    My goal is to make around 20 of them total.

     

    Also consider that the next collection will be Pherotine, so, some of these ideas might better suit that collection if pheromones will complete the intent best.

     

    Thanks for jumping in with me! Love you guys, and your wonderful ideas and input! ❤️

    Mara, do you think Julie would be able to put a wish list together for those of us who would like to send her some perfumes - either new ones or older ones we may have in our collections? I remember she likes peach perfumes and would be happy to look through my collection for older ones she likes. 

     

    @luna65 ???

     

    Thank you, @Eastwood22, so kind of you to take the time to do that! ❤️

  10. We've been getting multiple very kind offers to send clothing.

    Unfortunately, this idea is not the best fit for their situation right now, because they literally do not have the room for trial and error in this regard. They are currently sharing a small hotel room with very limited space and have no place to store excess items. It would be better to donate the $10 or $15 you would have spent on postage sending the clothing, so they can choose the precise items they need for themselves to wear to work and to school.

    Thank you so much for your kind thoughts and generosity, it is greatly appreciated.
