BESOMIM Traditional Fragrant Havdalah Ceremonial Spices

י״ט בחשון תשע"ב
Phasma Priscus 22

Performed no earlier than nightfall on Saturday night, the traditional Old World mystical Jewish Havdalah ceremony marks the end of Shabbat and functions to transition Otherworldly sacred consciousness back into everyday mundane world awareness. Kabbalah teaches that during Shabbat an extra soul called the Neshamah Yeterah (נְשָׁמָה יְתֵרָה) is bestowed upon a person, and at the end of Shabbat, this extra soul retreats back into the Otherworld. The fragrant Havdalah spices, known as Besomim (and Besamim), comfort and strengthen the mundane soul and enables it to carry a portion of the mystical occult power of the Neshamah Yeterah with it throughout the week.

This listing is for one 5 dram corked glass vial of Havdalah spices consisting of whole cloves, cinnamon pieces, allspice, orange zest, crushed bay leaf and myrtle leaf. The glass vial is adorned with a silver pewter Star of David charm hung luxury woad blue Midori ribbon.

More on the Havdalah ritual and blessings may be found here - http://www.jewfaq.org/prayer/havdalah.htm

Comes beautifully packaged with printed English and Hebrew ritual blessing to use with the Havdalah spices included.

WINTER MAGIC BAYBERRY comes in a beautiful 3.75 ounce Victorian style square glass jar with gold metal lid, and adorned with handmade Bayberry Oak Dazzle ribbon.

Pure BAYBERRY Wax Pillar Votive Candles, Old Ways Handcrafted with Genuine 100% True Bayberry Wax

י״ד בחשון תשע"ב
Phasma Priscus 17

Cherished for its smooth pleasant fragrance, and considered to be the rarest, most expensive, and most prized of all candle waxes, BAYBERRY wax is produced by harvesting and boiling the berries of the Bayberry Shrub. It takes about 15 pounds of bayberries to make just one pound of bayberry wax!

With wild bayberries growing abundantly in thickets along the North Atlantic coast, early American colonists used BAYBERRY wax to make candles. According to tradition, a bayberry candle burned all the way down on Christmas Eve or New Year's Eve brings good luck for the coming year. As the saying goes: "A bayberry candle burned to the socket rings food to the larder and gold to the pocket."

Also known as bayberry tallow and myrtle wax, the bayberry wax used to make these lovely olive green BAYBERRY pillar votive candles is 100% pure and natural, and has a warm, earthy fragrance reminiscent of newly mown hay. No color or fragrance additives whatsoever - just 100% pure bayberry wax. Handcrafted with pure cotton wick.

This listing is for a set of 3 straight pillar soy votives.

MISTLETOE Sacred Bough Winter Solstice Ritual Oil

ט׳ בחשון תשע"ב
Phasma Priscus 12

Used by ancient Europeans for over 4000 years, revered by the Druids, MISTLETOE (especially grown on Apple trees) is sacred to the Celtic god Manannán mac Lir. An Irish sea deity, Manannán mac Lir is associated with the Tuatha Dé Danann, the Otherworld, regeneration, weather working, and the mists between the worlds. Manannán mac Lir's Welsh equivalent is Manawydan fab Llyr.

Used to part the mists between the worlds and in other areas of Celtic magic, Pliny the ancient Roman naturalist, tells us how the Druids cut mistletoe on the sixth day after the New Moon at the end of the Celtic Year. Leading two white bulls deep into the sacred Oak Grove, with misteltoe hanging from the boughs of a giant Oak, the Druids would have a ritual meal prior to harvesting the herb. Following the meal, with a golden moon shaped sickle, the chosen Druid would climb up the Oak tree and cut the sacred boughs of mistletoe, which would be caught as they fell into the white robes of the Druids waiting below. The golden moon shaped sickle is symbolic of the feminine, while the mistletoe is symbolic of the masculine, whose milky white berries resemble spermatozoa. The white bulls would be offered up in sacrifice to the spirit of the Oak from which the mistletoe was cut in exchange for the mistletoe, which was considered part of the life essence of the Oak.

Handcrafted with certified organic ingredients, this lovely forest green MISTLETOE Sacred Bough ritual oil is generously scented with the seasonal aroma of Mistletoe. Herbally charged with genuine mistletoe herb, the oil is gemstone charged with green adventurine and red garnet. Sealed with green wax, the 3ml glass spell bottle is adorned with handmade Green Witch silk sari ribbon and mulled green sheer organdy ribbon.

How You Can Know Your Candle is Pure Soy

ז׳ בחשון תשע"ב
Phasma Priscus 10

How you can know that your candles are made with 100% soy ... frosting.

With time, candles made with 100% soy will form tiny, white, frosted-looking crystals on the top of the wax and/or on the sides of the jar. It looks very similar to the white frosted look that sometimes appears on chocolate. Most people don't mind frosting and many even like the effect. In fact, many customers have said they look for frosting as a sign that the candle is indeed made with soy and not paraffin. You can remove this frosting by buffing the candle lightly with hosiery.

Some soy candle manufacturers add paraffin wax (called a parasoy blend) to their candles to eliminate frosting. The soy used in candles crafted at Witchcrafts Artisan Alchemy™ IS NOT one of these soy-paraffin blended waxes. My shoppe's soy manufacturer is committed to providing you with paraffin-free candles and therefore does not add paraffin to the certified kosher pure soy wax it manufactures specifically as an eco-friendly alternative to paraffin and soy-paraffin wax blends. My pure soy wax is a top-of-line quality eco-friendly wax, and because of this, is more expensive than other waxes (which is why my candles cost a bit more than the candles from other shoppes who use paraffin or soy-paraffin blends).

While I have experimented with my dyes, fragrance oils, and pour temperatures to keep frosting to a minimum, some frosting is nevertheless to be expected with all pure soy candles.

Pure soy candles whose surfaces are glossed with candle gloss don't form frosting as quickly and as easily as pure soy candles whose surfaces are not glossed. I do offer a few glossed candles at my shoppe, but most candles are not glossed and do form frosting with time.

So, when you see the frosting form, you can be assured that your candle is made with 100% pure soy wax and NOT with a soy-paraffin wax blend.

Ethically in Order - Starting the New Year Off Right

Phasma Priscus 7

Starting the New Year off right - In honor of the Ancestors, to bring merit to the world in the name of my Ancestors, entirely of my own volition, several months ago I decided that my New Year's resolution would be to bring my Etsy shoppe into full compliance with all Etsy policies and to make sure both my shoppe sites fulfilled all ethical obligations of my spiritual Tradition. It took me over a week to tweak all 600+ listings, but I did it! Be blessed my Ancestors and shoppe patrons, I started off both the Celtic and Jewish New Years with my shoppes ethically in order! There is no better positive action and positive result with which to start the New Year than this - bringing honor to and spiritual pleasure to the souls of the Ancestors!

May those who purchase from Witchcrafts Artisan Alchemy™ receive karmic benefit and be blessed through the practice of ethical Witchcraft through the magical offerings obtained through my shoppes.
