Samhain Kits

 


So I am doing things a little differently for Samhain.
Instead of making up a bunch of kits to put in the shop… I decided that I am only going to do pre-orders for kits this year.

There are two kits to choose from. A smaller and a larger one.  Each kit comes with a special surprise bonus gift valued at $10.00

Small Samhain kit
Includes:
3 Spell dusts
A bag of Graveyard dirt
Mojo Bag
2oz All Hallows Eve Oil
2 herb bags filled with herbs associated with Samhain 
A wooden pendulum
Sea salt
Small lavender smudge
A blank decorative spell scroll for writing your own spell upon
And 1 votive candle

The price for this kit is $32.98 +10.95 for medium flat rate shipping
Normally all of these items would cost you more than $45 for everything so you would be saving more than $13.00 on this kit (not counting the value of the bonus gift)
Please order 5 days to one week ahead of whenever you need this kit, this does not include shipping time so you would need to add shipping time to that. This allows me enough time to put the kit together and get it to the post office.

Large Samhain kit
Includes:
3 spell dusts
Sigil powder 1oz
Bag of Graveyard dirt
Bag of orange/Red dessert sand
Mojo bag
2 oz of All Hallows Eve oil
4 herb bags filled with herbs associated with Samhain
An ouija board
Wooden pendulum
Pentacle necklace
Sea salt
1 votive candle
Large Lavender smudge stick
A blank decorative spell scroll for writing your own spell upon

The price for this kit is $64.98 +10.95 for medium flat rate shipping
Normally  all these items would cost you more than $85 for everything so you would be saving more than $20.00 on this kit (not counting the value of the bonus gift)

A 6x5 blank book can be added to either kit for an additional $15.98 or purchased on its own for the same price. You would pick a color scheme and theme for the cover of the book. For shipping the book alone without any other items it will be shipped in a small flat rate box for $5.95

Medium flat rate boxes arrive in 2-3 days from shipping date according to the usps website, but I would allow 3-5 days just to be on the safe side.


The veil between worlds start to thin around the early middle of Oct and are thinnest on Samhain eve (Oct 31st) which is the best time to commune with spirits and perform any kind of divination. It ends being as thin around the early middle of November.
This is also a great time for showing respect for the dead. I may write a longer blog on this subject at some point.


Any of my other divination, protection, cleansing, and banishing items are also useful during this time of year. Keep an eye out for sales on these things during the next few weeks.

Any of the items above can be purchased individually at the regular retail price unless otherwise stated.

To order, please email me at Lotus_Moon@hotmail.com
Tell me which kit you would like to purchase.
Inform me of any other items you are purchasing if you are purchasing more than just a kit or a book. This helps keep your shipping costs low since if I can fit it in the medium flat rate box there will be no additional shipping costs. For the book it will be shipped in a small flat rate box unless added to one of the two kits for combined shipping.

If you are purchasing a book, please include an idea of what you would like the cover to look like, whether you want it to have a theme or not (i.e you may want it to have a Halloween/Samhain theme, a tree of life with real leaves on it, an element theme, etc) If you are having problems coming up with a theme let me know and I can try my best to help.

I will then E-mail you back an invoice for where to go to pay for the items if you are paying via PayPal.
I do accept most major credit cards with a 5% fee added to the total price for those of you who do not have PayPal. If you are wanting to just pay with a credit card I would need the type of credit card you are paying with and your credit card information to input for the payment transaction.
Those are the only two payment methods I currently accept.


Please let me know if you have any questions on any of my items.

Feather Earrings

 

Sea and Sky Feather Earrings

Feathers can be great for magical workings. They can be used to send energy out to do your bidding for spells, they are wonderful for connecting with the air element, and are useful for spirit animal communication with winged beings.

The Parrot is a magical totem that teaches us that the world is full of possibility. The role of the parrot is that of a linguist opening communication centers as well as a healer. Because of the often bright beautiful colors they are also often a good totem animal for color therapists.

On a quick side note- The special on the herb vials and spell dusts is almost over! Take advantage of this special deal now while you can! Special ends June 23rd.

Midsummer

Lore

Midsummer, usually around June 21 or 22, the sun reaches its zenith in the sky. It is the longest day of the year, and the point at which the sun seems to just hang there without moving – in fact, the word “solstice” is from the Latin word solstitium, which literally translates to “sun stands still.” The travels of the sun were marked and recorded.

This holiday is most commonly known as “Litha” (the ancient Germanic name for Summer) This day is also known as the Summer Solstice and Midsummer. It is  the time in which the Sun God is at his strongest.  It is a time for the Sun God and The Green Man, which to some is one and the same due to old depictions of the Sun God being depicted as The Green man back when Paganism and Christianity were merging.

In some traditions, Litha or Midsummer is a time at which there is a battle between light and dark. The Oak King is seen as the ruler of the year between winter solstice and summer solstice, and the Holly King from summer to winter. At each solstice they battle for power, and while the Oak King may be in charge of things at the beginning of June, by the end of Midsummer he is defeated by the Holly King.

The celebration of Midsummer has dated back to ancient times.
This day has great meaning to most everyone for various reasons. For those who practice Faerie Magik, this is an especially meaningful day, because it is said that the faeries and the forest creatures come out to celebrate this wonderful day.
A large feast is usually held. There would be lots of music and dancing, lots of drinking, and of course love making. Midsummer is celebrated with bonfires and is a time to honor the space between earth and the heavens.

During this time is the best time to gather and dry your wild crafted or garden herbs.

Write down your wishes and toss them into a well, spring, or cauldron. This can be done by writing it on a piece of paper or meditating on your wish while holding a stone, flower, or feather and then throwing it into the water.
Offerings are also placed in water and thrown into the fire.

The rituals of Midsummer celebrate the verdant Earth in high summer, abundance, fertility, and all the riches of Nature in full bloom. This is a great time of strong magic and empowerment. It is a wonderful time for communication with the spirits of Nature. At Litha, the veils between the worlds are thin; the portals between worlds and realms beyond are more open than during other times of the year. This is an excellent time for rites of divination.

I am listing some things that correspond with this holiday/season; so that if you need, you can use as reference when celebrating this wonderful time of year.

~Correspondences~

~Customs
Bonfires, singing, feasting, coming together to celebrate and perform rituals, cutting
divining rods, dowsing rods & wands, going into the woods to gather herbs, ferns and flowers.

Use mirrors, reflective crystal balls, or metal ornaments to capture the light of the Sun or the flames of the fire. Make amulets (simple charms) of protection out of herbs such as rue and rowan. If you make new amulets each year you can dispose of the old in the midsummer fire.

 
~Foods
Mead, honey, fresh fruits and veggies, lemonade, lemons, oranges, cookies and cakes decorated to honor the Sun,  summer squash, cantaloupe, carrots and carrot juice, and of course plenty of ale.

Not authentic but quick way to have something similar to mead. Even if the recipe is cheating a bit, its still a delicious drink nonetheless.
First heat 1 part water with 1 part wildflower or your choice of honey  until the mixture is smooth and the honey’s completely incorporated. (wildflower being the best choice but any honey will do that you like best)
Sprinkle some fresh rose petals into the mixture and let it cool. (orange or lemon slices could also be added to the mixture for added flavor)
Strain the mixture (optional).
Mix 2 parts honey water with 1 part grain alcohol and serve chilled over ice. Alternatively, mix 1 part honey water with 1 part vodka.

~Herbs
basil, elder, pine, St. John’s wort, thyme, yarrow, frankincense, lavender, lily, anise, mugwort, chamomile, daisy, rose, calendula, sunflower, wild rose (red or yellow being best), oak blossoms, ginger, and spices, cinquefoil, fennel, mistletoe, hemp, larkspur, nettle, wisteria, vervain, rue, fern, wormwood,heather, oak & holly trees.

Midsummer Fire Oil

I have concocted an oil for this special time of year.
Midsummer oil smells that of pine forests, with bay, and orange to add to the sweet spicy scent. There are many herbs and flowers added to this oil that all correspond to Midsummer and the fire element. A citron stone and a few herbs, flowers, and resins were added to the bottle for added potency. A Tibetan silver energy sun charm adorns the outside of the bottle on a red ribbon. The charm may be removed and charged with the oil, and then worn for added benefit.

This oil comes in a 4oz round corked bottle and is $11.95 + shipping.

A Spell Dust that may also be used as an incense was also made.
Midsummer Fire Spell Dust can be used in the bonfire, heated on charcoal disks, placed on the altar, tossed for wishes and use in rituals. It can be sprinkled around your sacred circle, along with many other uses.

There is a long list of herbs that went into the making of this blend. It smells strongly of pine and orange. The blend produces a very pungent smoke that is both sweet, woody, and herby.
Even without lighting it, the dust has quite a wonderful and complex smell to it.

Vials are 1/2 an inch wide and 3 inches long (not including the length of the glass ball)
The glass ball is sealed to the vial with candle wax. Wax can be removed to get to the herbs inside the vials.
This Spell Dust Vial is $2.00 each + shipping.

I have a special going on right now on my herb vials and spell dusts where if you buy 5 you get 1 herb vial free. If you buy 10 you get either 2 herb vials or 1 spell dust free with your order. There are plenty of herbs available that have to do with Midsummer, love, and other magicks done during this time of year.
This deal only lasts till June 23rd so don’t miss out on this great special before it ends!

~ Mojo Bags ~
The word mojo is related to the West African word "mojuba" which means prayer of praise and homage. So a mojo bag is a "prayer in a bag" basically a "spell you carry."
Mojo bags are also commonly referred to as "gris-gris" bags which is a French spelling of the African word "gree-gree" or "gri-gri" which means "charm." Thus a "gris-gris" bag is a "charm bag."
Mojo bags are little pouches, or tied off bits of cloth to form a pouch, with a magical purpose. They can contain any number of items such as; herbs, roots, seeds, stones, resins, and other natural elements. Each bag is made for a specific purpose.
Traditionally people would keep their mojo bags out of sight from others. The reason that  people would the reason people would do this is because if another person touches it, the luck may be lost. (though I personally have never had that problem) Still, some prefer to keep to the traditions.
Each cloth bag is tied with a ribbon or cord and then sealed with wax to hold the magic in place. Do not open the bag no matter how tempted you may be, for it will undo the magic sealed inside.  You can however smell the herbs contained within the bag without having to open it.
~Where and how to use your mojo bag~
They can be hung or placed anywhere inside your home, wherever you feel they would benefit you the most for their purpose. They can also be worn on your wrist, belt, in your purse, wherever is most comfortable to you. Used during ritual, or in a time when you feel you need their specific energies/influence. They can also be placed/hung outdoors.  Some place them in the garden, or hung from trees.
Charms are used for many purposes, and can be powerful talismans.
You can charge your mojo bag whenever you feel it needs a bit of a boost by putting the proper oils on it (sparingly) or by letting the smoke from a smudge stick or smoke from the proper incense around the bag. How often you do this depends on how often you use the bag and to what extent. It is not necessary to do this though if you don’t feel the bag needs it.
Each bag is $5.00 + shipping
I currently have 6 Luck/Money bags (green clover bags)
3 Love bags  (red bags)
2 Protection bags (black bags)
2 Protection from Nightmares bags (purple blue bags) 
**I can make custom mojo bags for a specific intent/purpose. Send me a message telling me what it is you need it for if you are interested in getting a custom mojo bag made.

About Tibetan Crystals

Tibetan Quartz is a powerful, protective spiritual stone that is highly sought after for its metaphysical properties. This Quartz is mined in the Himalayan Mountains of Tibet, one of the most sacred areas on Earth.  The vibration of this highly spiritual area is imparted on the stones, making thousands of years of spiritual and healing knowledge more easily accessible.  Their source also seems to give Tibetan Quartz Crystals an almost holy, enlightened vibration as well as very harmonious and balanced energy.

Tibetan Quartz can create a field of protection around the user, blocking negative energy from entering.  The purifying energies of Tibetan Quartz also make it an excellent stone for balancing the chakras and meridian systems.
