@luna65 I just donated, I'm sorry it's not a lot, but it's from the heart. I know you read books, could I maybe get you a gift card somewhere?

OMG @luna65 I am so sorry this happened to you 😢

I will donate tonight when I come home. I may have some older LPs but can't send them due to my country's rules, but I do hope to visit NY next year and could send them from there.

I'm sending you ((HUGS))

I am beginning my plotting and planning and ingredient collecting for the New Year's Spell Collection

 Oh, I'm so excited!!!

Creativity Potion - please, please do this one, something similar to Pro-Create - that is both for creativity and wishes

Glamour Potion - hoping for this one too, but a foody kind, like Glamour Puss was maybe?

Hex Deflection/Jinx No More - I wish for this you would rebrew Black Cat Hex Breaker, it's one of the best Hex breaking spell potion ever. Like it worked on electronic stuff when they didn't work! My laptop, washing machine...

Money/Prosperity Potion - definitely! 

Protection Potion - yes, please!
 

May I add 2 more:

Luck - just for luck, like Lady Luck was... Luck/fast money?

Look Me Over - not a love potion, but I have been pitching my writing projects, and I want the people I've been pitching to to Look Me Over, notice me, I need something to make my projects stand out.

This has aged so well!!! 😍 I feel sad and tired today, and Levitation always does the trick, so I applied Darling Clementine. In the air there was a lot of amber but on my skin it was this citrus meringe (I hope I wrote it right) and it reminded me of my beloved Atomic Mandarin. I know AM was a varient od DC but I have old versions of Darling Catalina and Clementine and they were never similar to AM, to me. But this version does and I love it so, so much!

Ashes is supposed to be like a ritual where you rub an egg all down your body to to let go of the past and bring renewal , so maybe I’ll rub some Ashes to Dust on the egg and give it a go. 

Don't forget to break it on the tree. I have 2 bottles of Ashes to Dust but I keep my distance from it. It works scary well and brings closer to the things you least hope.

I thought of you on Monday when, before work, I applied Horn of Plenty, a bit of Gimme Money and Lady Luck. I need it because I wanted to ask my grandma to lend me some money for the car. At work, I was called into my boss's office and was offered a new position and 20% increase on my paycheck.

Pumpkin Dulce smells very much how I remember Garland and Lace, however I no longer have G&L to compare it to, (I do have the Latte but not the same of course).

Thank you! 😊

@citrine Have you had good luck with your magical intentions just wearing the spell potions or are there certain rituals that work better? 

I love Mara's spell potions so, so much. I discovered LPMP back in 2013., just about the time when 2013.'s spell potions were released, so I have fond memories of that spell collection. 

Mara's spell potion smell great too. That's why I wear them almost every day. Sometimes like a scent and sometimes if I'm wearing something else, I apply just a dab. I don't have a certain ritual most of the time, I'll say something like "I need some extra cash" while applying it. Sometimes I just apply it and then when I get an extra discount or somebody buys me coffee I remember that I applied it. I have really good luck with money potions! If there is something specific I need, I will just hold the bottle and say a quick prayer. Like this summer, I wanted my kids to get into the schools they want, I applied Open Sesame, The Key and a bit of Road opener for a few days, until we found out the results. They didn't get in. However, they got into one of the best schools in my county. So while the door shut, the window remained opened and a possibility opened that we weren't aware of even. I got my first real job while wearing Shut Up And Get A Job + Open Sesame and I applied that combo just because it smelled good, with no intentions! So IMO Mara's spell potions work no matter if you make a certain ritual or not. That's just my experience And that's why I'm super excited that Mara said we are getting new spell potions in January (I think she said January).

I know Mara said we'll get spell potions soon, so I really hope a rebrew of these will be considered (or something similar):

Lady Luck

Black Cat Hex Breaker 

Glamour Puss

Open Sesame

Shut Up And Get A Job

Determination potion 

I keep hearing Pumpkin Dulce calling my name... But I can't smell anything because of covid.

I ordered 2 bottles of Pumpkin Dulce

I can't wait for your review!

Not stupid, dear!  It's a resin so it can have the depth to it, but it can also be rather sweet depending on the source.

Dragon's Blood: Different harvests can smell different ways. IMO, it's supposed to smell like rich dark resin/sap. Some of them can smell a touch spicy. I have noted that low quality examples can smell like cherry or cherry bubblegum. I tend to use the types that smell lavish and rich, and I pass along ones that are not up to my standards.

Thank you!!! 🥰

@citrine in the description notes it compares  Pumpkin Dulce to Garland and Lace

My covid brain skipped that part, thank you  I do love Garland and Lace though!

May I ask a stupid question- what does Dragon's blood smell like?

Pumpkin Dulce sounds amazing!

ETA: Would Pumpkin Dulce be similar to Lantern? But there's no amber and cinnamon...

I keep checking every time I take a break at work or go pee. 🤭 which makes no sense because I can't afford to buy anything until later in the month anyway 🤣

LOL, I keep checking too, even though I can't smell anything due to covid 🤣

I wonder if there's one with the peanuts we talked about? Maybe Coconut custard has coconut, peanuts, maybe some milky/creamy notes?

Sugared skull makes me think of tequila, I think because of all.the citrus on the label.

Pumpkin Dulce...I wonder if it's similar to Lantern?

Remembrance...maybe floral? We here celebrate Nov 1st as Day of the Dead when we bring flowers and candles the graves of our loved ones. Or maybe smokey, like smoke from the candles?

Ohhhh the labels are amazing! AI bot? How cool!!! Creme Cake is back! I loved that one!

I was back in April at a new dentist, getting an offer. It's a private practice - father and two sons. But due to getting covid I was back there in August. I applied some UN LFM (on my arms and neck) and Horn of Plenty hoping to get an extra discount. The nurse let me in the office, I sat in the chair and then this dentist comes, who I haven't seen before (later I googled that he works there for years). He had a cap, mask and those glasses with light, I couldn't really see his face, however something about him reminded me of Jeff Goldblum - God only knows why). He fixed my tooth (it took him more than an hour), he sang while doing so... After he was done, I stood up and he removed the glasses and the mask, and we looked at each other... DIHL, both of us. I had DIHL because he was young-ish and handsome. He had DIHL due to LFM, because I had salty hair from swimming and zero make up. When I stepped out to pay, he came and told me to use probiotics with the antibiotic he gave me. It was a 10 minute lecture about probiotics lol. The nurse that was in the office was a bit bitchy to me, the longer she stood next to me, I think it was because of LFM, as she was nice when I just fot there.

At the begining of September I was again at that dentist's office, wore again LFM. He was nice to me, he remembered my fear of dentists. While he was fixing my tooth he kept reaching for something that was behind me and he did it in a way that he kept leaning on me, like, I could feel his body weight. He didn't do that the previous time. We did talk for a minute about what he will do next time to my teeth, but then he just kinda ran away lol.

He is married and I have no hidden agenda here, but I'm gonna keep testing LFM. I'm sad I don't get much/any selfies, but I did like these hits.

I'm not a fan of peach (except Peach Sparkle, I love that one!), but this is lovely, comfy, gentle peach.

Pizzazz

Warm and Cozy

Absinthe of Malice

I second this, especially Pizzazz! I have one bottle left and will be really sorry when I use it all.

Dear Mara,

Please consider rebrewing Lady Luck! 

It is amazing, works so, so good! Please, please, please 🙏🏻 I'll buy 5 bottles myself, I promise! Not only it works great, but smells great too! Peach, Pear, Pomegranate, Orange and Tea Leaves... soooooo good! Please?

I have been having a hard time emotionally due to my dog being sick. I cried almost every day, and felt just pure sadness. I knew this would help, but I had a problem convincing myself to apply it, it was like I was OK with me being sad, crying, not showering, sleeping in clothes... I felt like the left arm wanted to stop the right arm from using this. Stupid, but I can't explain it. But I knew I wasn't OK, so I wore it the other day and for a few hours it felt like the dark clouds have lifted and I could see the sun again.

Don't get me wrong, I am not saying pheromones can cure depression, but this has helped me so much.

Welcome!

I'm so glad you like it @dolphindolls2! I really love wearing it to bed! 😴

Black Cat Hex Breaker 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

I second how great Brown Sugared Pecans is, I bought one bottle when it first came out and slowly went thru it and I think last year I bought another bottle... I love the sugared line and hope they one day make a reappearance. 

I agree! Brown Sugared Pecans are so good! I'm glad I grabbed it in last year's sale!

Yesterday I wore two drops of Gotcha (from a pherotine bottle) when I went out to do my errands. No idea if that’s too much? Or not enough?

 

Oddly, it seemed like there were men consistently around me everywhere I went. Usually it seems like I don’t even see that many men around, so this was very, very weird. I’m wondering if it’s just making me more aware of the men around?

 

Most of them didn’t try to talk to me or really even seem to pay much attention to me, except for a very cute police officer. I was walking down the sidewalk and he was coming towards me and at first he seemed to be in hurry. But as he came closer, he slowed down and did a little double take. He gave me a big flirtatious smile and paused to have a brief but lighthearted conversation about the beautiful weather. After he passed by me, I was waiting at a crosswalk and I happened to notice that he turned back towards me to give me another big smile with very twinkling eyes.  So, I guess that’s something. I like men with twinkling eyes.

 

I can't wait for my Gotcha bottle to get here!!!! Especially after reading this!

@RosesArePink Yes, I'm in the Mediterranean so the climate is nice during the winter, we don't go below 7-10 Celsius. But also I figured I can decant a bit of oil and turn it into spray.
