I had no idea how much I missed the water. Its not the Great Lakes, but it was enough. Standing out there, feet locked by the waves. It felt like I was home again. Nothing more grounding in the whole world.

Took a trip up to Salem. I wanted to see the area again and get a taste of post Samhain. I think it would be so nice to have a shop up there... ahh, dreams.

Hey we have what I've come up with for the Fool. All blended and made into sticks. They're in the box drying! Im trying something new this time. Will report back once they're done.

Burning the first stick of my Samhain blend. One of the things I love about incense made like this is how the scent changes and develops. This one, I'm catching a lot of dragon's blood and copal right away with the others showing up after.

The sticks for this Samhsin batch are drying in the box. Her is hoping they burn well. If everything turns out good I should have them in the shop very soon! <3 Getting things done by the skin of my teeth, I guess.

Its been a while, but here is the first draft of my blend for Samhain! There is a lot going into it. Things aligned to spirit work, the ancestors, divination, and protection as we reach across the veil.

Could use some organization, but then it wouldn't be me. Lol. Always little jars all over the place. At least most of them are labeled so I don't sit there going... okay, what was in this again? Gods know I've done that a lot over the years.

Sending this out tomorrow! So incredibly grateful to everyone who has checked out the apothecary. Especially lately with how I've slowed down on things. Getting back to work!

Changing things up a little bit. Going to my posting more of my personal/ tarot stuff over on this account here. I'll still have plenty of goodies here, but I want to focus on the apothecary in this space a little more <3 <3

Random thought: Of course, you're the one moving the pendulum through micro movements of your hand... but what's moving you? When we communicate with spirit (big or little s) we commune with them. As such, is it not within the possibility that they are moving our hand?

All ready! Just waiting for people to get here. It's a perfect gloomy night... finally cooled down from how stupid hot it's been. Couldn't be a better night for ghost hunting.

Today is going to be my first tour on my own! Wish me luck! I'll report back if we see anything lol. Should be a fun time, but I'm all kinds of anxious.

I wonder... are all people who love musicals ND of some flavor or another?
August 17, 2025 at 8:24 PM
I got the the email from the state! Its official! The Hermetic Apothecary is approved and we're one step closer to being able to get into local shows and markets. Just need to get insurance figured out and I'll be all done on this front!

Got to love those days where just everything is too damn much. Evwn the sound of someone chewing or dropping a can into the garbage makes me want to scream. Why must my nervous system be this way. I'd really love to be able to just relax.
August 14, 2025 at 8:17 PM
I am seriously tempted to start posting little ghost stories from the things I'm learning with the tour and the area. I really love this stuff and wish there was like... a real career path for it lol

Its wild to me living in an area that has ravens. Waking up to the sound of croaks every now and then. It feels special and kind of magical. I'm going to start leaving peanuts out for them and the crows again.

Spotted the moon outside my window last night right as my candles lit. Couldn't help but snag a picture!

Hmmm I wonder. Is it better to link to big posts, or make multi part posts.

Time to make a Samhain oil! After this blend is done infusing, I'll mix it with my essential oil blend that I have sitting aside. This blend is meant for opening the ways between worlds while also staying protected and grounded.

I officially have dates that im running tours! I am so stupidly excited about this. I'll be sure to share stories of things that happen or if I get any spooky pictures for sure! Eeeee! Going to be in haunted places for Samhain this year!
August 10, 2025 at 5:31 PM
I feel like my brain is in a blender. I cant think straight and I think maybe im just overwhelmed. I did end up getting tickets for the visit so im glad for that. I think it's just a lot all at once.

Today is all about momentum and direction. You want to move forward, but your energy is all over the place! Don't let anxiety and indecision rule you. You can do this!

My version of self care is ignoring when the tower jumps out of my deck while shuffling.

Not rolling with that energy today.
