We are partnering with out friend and brilliant artist and friend that helps me with the witch shop, @lemonbalmgirl to carry some of her copper-plated art and jewelery in the catalog. Check it out at Moonflower Alchemy

We are sponsoring SASS Witch Con! It's this week and the first conventions for Secular, Atheist, Agnostic, Skeptical and Science based witches. They just posted a full schedule of awesome panels and talks. Tickets are available until Thursday night!

NEW!

Acéphale (1936–1939) by Georges Bataille et. al.

"In 1936, at the height of the anti-fascist struggle, French Surrealist Georges Bataille and his closest friends took leave of the revolutionary milieu to form a fanatically religious secret society under the symbol of the acéphale – a headless figure clutching a fiery heart and a sacrificial knife. Their conspiracy was to achieve headlessness at every level: the headless society, the human being freed from reason, the defeat of the three-headed monster of Fascism-Christianity-Socialism, the ecstatic rupture of the Dionsyian frenzy, and the literal beheading of Bataille himself. This is their journal, fully (re)translated and compiled in English for the first time."

Shades of Faith: Minority Voices in Paganism

"Shades of Faith: Minority Voices in Paganism is an anthology that encompasses the voices and experiences of minorities within the Pagan community and addresses some of the challenges, stereotyping, frustrations, talents, history and beauties of being different within the racial constructs of typical Pagan or Wiccan groups. Often the associations of the roots of Paganism have pushed assumptions that worshippers of Paganism are strictly Caucasian."

Verdant Gnosis: Cultivating the Green Path, Volume 5

"Verdant Gnosis brings together international authorities on the Green Way, ranging from plant alchemists, shamanic herb-masters, to bioregional animists. The edition explains how to communicate deeply with the mysterious intelligence of the plant kingdom, breaking down the barriers of anthropocentric thinking that separate humanity from nature."

Supernatural Tarot Deck and Guidebook

Supernatural Tarot? Ok. I know. What a cheezy show, right? I kinda love it though and I also really enjoy the feeling of this deck and how it related to the show and the characters. Charlie as The Sun? Come on!

Treasury of Folklore - Seas and Rivers: Sirens, Selkies and Ghost Ships

"Folklore of the seas and rivers has a resonance in cultures all over the world. Watery hopes, fears and dreams are shared by all peoples where rivers flow and waves crash. This fascinating book covers English sailor superstitions and shape-shifting pink dolphins of the Amazon, Scylla and Charybdis, the many guises of Mami Wata, the tale of the Yoruba River spirit, the water horses of the Scottish lochs, the infamous mystery of the Bermuda Triangle, and much more."

Rituals & Declarations - Volume 2, Issue 2 - Spring 2021

Rituals & Declarations is a beautiful comp zine from the UK with a literal book spine and a figurative spine of weirdness, curiosity, found truths, folklore, community, and art.

Cunning Folk - The Water Issue and the Re-Enchantment Issue

Critical Thinking Witch Collective presents: CritWitchCon2022

Virtual con Fri, Sep 30, 2022, 4:00 PM –Sun, Oct 2, 2022, 12:30 PM EDT

CTWC's Con 2022 is the place to be for skeptical, secular, agnostic, non-theist, atheist, and scientifical-minded witches.

CritWitchCon2022: Circles, Paths, and Building Our Own

One of the best things about being a Critical Thinking Witch is making what we need, just as we need it. It’s one of the hardest things about it, too.

In this year’s Con, we are exploring the Do It Yourself (DIY) dynamic, and applying it to our craft, our chosen family, and even ourselves. Join us for panel sessions, meet and greets with speakers (who are your friends and world-wide witch neighbors!), vendors, opportunities to connect with far-flung critical thinking witches, and the building of something amazing – our community.

All Access Pass $25

Saver Pass $15

Scholarships are available 

Tickets can be purchased at the link below, as well as the application to be a vendor or for a free ticket to our pre-con preview event on September 24th.

SASS WITCH CON

August 13-15, 2021 - A virtual event

SASS Witch Con aims to bring together a community of Secular, Atheist/Agnostic, Skeptical, and Science (SASS) witches to meet, commune, work together, network, share and learn from each other in a virtual symposium. This is a safer space where we respect magic and science equally, acknowledging that sometimes there is genuine beauty in the mysterious.

This space welcomes, respects, and seeks to empower those who, like witches, are on the fringe and do not have mainstream support including but not limited to ethnic and religious minorities, LGBTQ+, sex workers, those with disabilities, those formerly incarcerated, those struggling with home/food/work insecurity.

Finally and importantly this space is to enjoy each others’ company, engage in riotous fun and laughter with kindness, curiosity, and SASSy creativity!
