While I cant get into the finer details of this amulet publicly, I wanted to share a powerful Dreaming Ward that my Spirit Kith revealed to me in the course of helping one of my Faerie Physic patients.

It involves gathering a black walnut and boring a hole down into its core, which is then filled with a mixture of Quicksilver and certain herbs, before being carefully sealed shut, varnished with my Wisefool's Glaze, activated through ritually enchantment, and then sealed a final time with beeswax.

I am wounded, I'm afraid, and I just narrowly prevented the freak death of a beloved animal.

Someone in a town nearby called on me to look into a painting they recently acquired at a junk sale, and feared might be haunted or cursed in some way. The concept of the possessed object has been massively overhyped by media, and is actually exponentially rarer and less sinister than many would think, but all the same, I went to check out the situation.

This is the painting in question, and I won't pretend that I didn't visibly cringe when faced with it.

In the end, I was able to determine that the issues they were dealing with were mundane in nature, but I suggested they get rid of the painting anyway, since it clearly makes them uncomfortable. I don't know why in the world anyone would want a portrait that looks like a teary-eyed John Wayne Gacy in drag to begin with...

I have two different methods that both work very well. My husband gets warts here and there, and I've managed to charm away each one of them—including one he had for years. The first method is a general wart charming, but the second is for more stubborn or troublesome warts. However, each ritual utilizes an orison that I was taught, which I can only share with three people in my life before I lose the ability to use it myself. For that reason, I can't include the verbal charm, though I think proficient mages could still make good use of these rituals overall with their own words of power.

For Warts:

On the evening of the Full Moon, a Sloe thorn is anointed with Spurge milk and used to prick the wart. Thereafter, an onion is cut in half and the thorn placed between the halves, before tying them shut together again using a biodegradable cord (ideally, black in color.) An incantation is said over the onion thrice, before it is buried beneath the western Eaves. If, for some reason, this isn't possible, then the onion should be buried at the westernmost edge of the property. As the flesh of the onion rots over the course of the Moon's waning, so too shall the wart fade. (An individual sloe thorn must be used for each wart being treated.)

For Stubborn Warts:

On the night of a Full Moon, mix together ground Oak Gall, Spurge Milk, and 4-Thieves Vinegar. Dip a piece of raw meat into the mixture and then use it to rub the wart (if there are multiple warts, then small, individual pieces of the same meat should be used for each wart) while the pertinent orison is whispered. Following this procedure, the patient must bury the meat at a Crossroads at midnight. As the meat rots away during the course of the Moon's waning, so too shall the wart(s).

This is a hand-crafted Silver Birch Shillelagh, which I am currently selling.

The length of wood used was ritually harvested from an old Silver Birch tree, which are lovely and folklorically signifcant trees, known for their associations with Purity, Hope, and Renewal. The knob of the stave—which was a natural formed root bulb—was de-barked and polished, while the rest of the piece was carefully treated and varnished so as to protect the glossy paper-bark of the specimen. The sorcerous wood varnish I used is one I developed myself using a variety of potent arboreal resins, such as Dragon's Blood, Storax, and Black Frankincense—both accentuated the warm color of the polished wood, while preserving the shine of the bark.

This Shillelagh is lightweight but sturdy, measures approximately 40 inches/101.5 centimeters in length, and I am willing to be reasonably flexible with pricing—so reach out if you think you would be interested in purchasing it! As always, I'm glad to work out payment plans when necessary.

This is another traditional Celtic protection amulet I am currently selling. It was made using a Hagstone, a vintage Skeleton Key, and a braided cord of twine I dyed myself with Madder Root and Dragon's Blood. A protective prayer was worked into the braid, which was then sealed with a charmed knot, before the whole piece was hallowed in a simple rite.

This is a Wand I constructed from a bough of Twisted Willow (Salix matsudana) that I am selling for $55 + Shipping. It measures approximately 19.5 inches/49.5 centimeters in length.

It came to me, along with a couple of other pieces, during the course of working a ritual that took place in the shallows of the River that nurtures our land. Almost directly after closing the rite, having just thanked the River Spirit I was working with, they floated directly into my legs and then drifted onto the bank. I felt the hand of the River—She of a Thousand Arms—in the appearance of these willow specimens, and when asking through divination about the matter later, I was given leave to craft them into Wands, that they might find their homes with the proper individuals.

Having dried and cured this length of wood, I next went about debarking and sanding the piece entirely by hand. Once the wood was suitably smoothed, I then gave it a traditional white-washing treatment to accebtuate the already pale, bone-like quality of the wood. Finally, the piece was sealed with my personally devised Wisefool's Glaze (a consecrated wood varnish made using a number of potent arboreal resins, such as Storax, Dragon's Blood, and Black Frankincense,) polished with my personally developed Wisefool's Oil (a Hallowed Oil infused with a variety of extremely powerful ingredients, which also happens to serve as a wonderful wood conditioner,) before it was fumigated with a mixture of Cedar and Waybread Leaf I gathered from the banks of the same River which consigned the wood to me.
