was started by two souls on a journey to create a little magic. We work with the properties of wood, stone, and plants to handcraft an assortment of altar tools, oddities, and curiosities. What started as one wand has turned into a variety of wands, brooms, candle holders, pendulums, jars, bowls, crystal ball stands, and whatever else we can conjure up. Most of the materials we use in our creations are grown by us, and what we can’t grow is ethically sourced. Everything we create is handmade and given great thought and respect from start to finish as we let the energy of the materials dictate their purpose and design.
. Everyone has a “Lore”, what’s yours? We are a small husband and wife business that makes custom crystal jewelry. Each of our pieces incorporates an intention, an energy, a purpose…and for our non-pagan clients, we use color theory with associated crystal properties to incorporate the same energy and intention (wink). We have pieces for everyday, special occasions, and some we can replicate, but we prefer to create one-of-a-kind custom pieces that resonate with each of our amazing customers needs. We also create household art with, crystals of course, for you to enjoy or for you to share as gifts.
