Morbitorium

I'm keeping it old-school with this week's display... A Ouija board, human skull, anatomy model and some crystals #skull #humanskull #ouijaboard #ouija #anatomy #crystals #geode (at Morbitorium) https://www.instagram.com/p/CA10sWxpUKW/?igshid=1mm0h2f30pj4p

Not only does our sleep tea help you drop off after drinking it, it also looks very pretty whilst I'm getting the ingredients together. It's almost a shame it has to be mixed. We drink this every night at the Morbitorium so I'm always making up a new batch. That way, you know it's fresh. #tea #herbal #sleep #valerian #relax (at Morbitorium) https://www.instagram.com/p/CA0oVEqpC7w/?igshid=ol8wvg74s708

Not ten minutes after a bag of tarot cards turn up (see last post), another neighbour was doing a house clearance and brought me this antique glass cased squirrel. It needs a bit of tlc as the front glass panel is missing but he's so handsome. Let's hope lockdown continues for a while, I'm doing quite well out of this 😂😂😂 #taxidermy #taxidermysquirrel #squirrel #antique #vintage #curiosities (at Morbitorium) https://www.instagram.com/p/CAu43rdJFw2/?igshid=lex9n75qylaf

A neighbour was having a lockdown clear-out and brought me around a bag of tarot cards and books he no longer wanted. I had the Frank Lind one when I was a teenager too but I've never come across Psycards before. I think the cards predict some Googling in my future 😂 #tarot #tarotcards #vintage #1980s #iching #oraclecards (at Morbitorium) https://www.instagram.com/p/CAu2XRQpHpe/?igshid=nkfbej0t1u2a

This week's window display is a strange collection of objects that don't really belong together... A set of vintage @homeprideflour "Fred" canisters, a Voodoo doll, "Magick in theory and practice" by Aleister Crowley, and a connection of HP Lovecraft stories #Lovecraft #Crowley #Voodoo #vintage (at Morbitorium) https://www.instagram.com/p/CAlbCuqJL_p/?igshid=1w4bgkcc1qz3x

Here's this week's window display... Deer antlers, phenology head, my mummy hand (see earlier post), an unopened can of whoop ass and a deer skull. #deer #skull #phenology #windowdisplay https://www.instagram.com/p/CAbDGIypvvn/?igshid=wcrrutxde8s

It doesn't look very exciting but these are some of our packaging materials. Ever since our latest delivery of Jiffy green padded envelopes we are now 100% reused, recycled, or recyclable. Even our incense sticks and jewelry come in biodegradable cellophane packs. #recycle #biodegradable #packaging #savetheplanet (at Morbitorium) https://www.instagram.com/p/CAXa9ESJgsM/?igshid=i5172w9pl6gh

"Cara Mia. I would die for her. I would kill for her. Either way, what bliss." Morticia finally has her 'Mon Cher'... my Gomez chase Funko arrived this morning from America. #addamsfamily #funkopop #culttv #toys https://www.instagram.com/p/CAPmw2JpU7z/?igshid=1us2y101lgfgw

I'm still trying to be creative whilst under lockdown and this framed roe deer skull with roses is my latest piece. The skull is from a male but the antlers had been removed for another project a while ago and this was a really nice way of reusing the rest of the skull so that nothing goes to waste. #vultureculture #taxidermy #skull #deer #roses #art https://www.instagram.com/p/CANE-ZlJLzm/?igshid=1igxexrth4kfc

I was up silly early this morning so went for a walk around the village. Glad that I did because I came across this handsome (sadly deceased) fella. He's now chilling out in the freezer 🦔❄️ #hedgehog #taxidermy #vultureculture https://www.instagram.com/p/B_6mhWCJdG1/?igshid=1t0979zmz1gxv

I'm starting a new thing... After rearranging the front window I now have a display, and I plan on changing the item on display each week. It'll give people something to look at whilst out on their exercise, plus it gives me a chance to appreciate some of the things I may not noticed for a while. This week is... (Top row) an antique stone gaper head, a hand carved Balinese horse skull, some poison bottles and Audrey2, my Venus fly trap. (Bottom row) Hellraiser Rubik cube, vintage style phenology & palmistry tins, plaster teeth casts, more poison bottles, (Right side) taxidermy fox #oddities #curiosities #skull #horse #horseskull #littleshopofhorrors #hellraiser #taxidermy #fox (at Morbitorium) https://www.instagram.com/p/B_X1-fBJ9LT/?igshid=1924hske953j5

Happy Earth Day 2020. The spirit of Gaia cradles our planet in her pregnant belly whilst the creatures of the world nestle in the leaves in her hair. This beautiful bronzed status has markings on her arms and legs that depict the seas and the forests, bringing all the realms together and shows her as the protector of our world. #earthday #earthday2020 #mothernature #motherearth #gaia #doula #birth #pregnant #pregnancy (at Morbitorium) https://www.instagram.com/p/B_RkpvOpXh9/?igshid=1ugcyvig6eakp

The tooth fairy has been struggling recently what with all the social distancing measures, but she still managed to bring us a new haul of prosthetic teeth. The vintage sets are perfect for a small cabinet of curiosities whilst the modern strips would make great materials for weird craft projects. Available now from the website and Etsy store. #teeth #dental #prosthetic #dentist #collector #curiosities #crafts #crafting https://www.instagram.com/p/B_HbzA-pcAx/?igshid=3t0o5siy31v

I started watching Dark Shadows whilst on sick-leave from work about four years ago but once everything returned to normal I didn't have the time to watch it anymore. Lockdown seems like the perfect opportunity to carry on where I left off #darkshadows #barnabascollins #culttv https://www.instagram.com/p/B-wL7UhpTBf/?igshid=wwrvuaj8zitf

Enamel plague doctor badges are BACK IN STOCK!! We had a rush of orders for these over the last few weeks (I wonder why?) and have only just caught up with demand. Grab your souvenir of the 2020 coronavirus outbreak 😂 #plaguedoctor #plague #enamelpin #covid #lockdown #quarantine https://www.instagram.com/p/B-orn6hp3ZV/?igshid=nqiowthqh7xs
