What's New?!

I don't even know where to start! Kyros attended the Portland and Seattle Gift Shows in January, and now all those orders are coming in, almost daily.

CANDLES! We've got votive candles back in, in new and marvelous colors and scents: amber, leather (wow!), wisteria, sea breeze, lemon (very intense), strawberry/vanilla , eucalyptus, sea scape, orange/clove, French vanilla (you can gain weight just SMELLING this one!), tuberose, and lavender. They're supposed to be even more intense when they are burned, too. And they're the right colors for the Pride rainbow flag. Kyros found some smudge feathers that are used to waft smoke about during rituals and cleansings. The feathers are white and black, with beads and/or muskrat skulls for adornment. We also got leather wrapped Dream Catchers.

We've had the pillar ritual candles for awhile, but we've added a new line of them from Spiritual Essences. Popular right now seem to be Consort (lover), Ability to Change and Reform, Prosperity, Protection, and Tranquility. The candle are designed on the principles of horoscopes, lunar cycles, aromatherapy, herbalism, color magick, knot magick, and numerology. Knot magick and numerology are seen with the three-fold spiral wicks and wrapped into a second spiral is seven knots to represent the principle of new beginnings. Also, the height of nine inches incorporates the numerology principle of full circle. These new candles have the loveliest scents!

You've seen our incense sticks. Well, be prepared to meet mega-stick in the form of our new Party Sticks. These remind me of slender cattails and are about 19" high. They burn between 3 and 4 hours, so they are a bargain at 3 for $1. Flavors include vanilla, cedar, money, and rain. Also, we're getting a new lign of incense sticks from Astral Sea, soon.

We just got a new shipment of Celestial Glassware and cobalt votive holders and square jars to add to our blue glass collection. Also we have expecting new colored glass bottles in blue (triangular), red (oval), yellow (like turbans) and green (indescribable), with stoppers shaped like suns, moons, and stars.. BOOKS! Always, new books. Look for Gems, Crystals, & Minerals, with the lushest pictures of stones I've ever seen; Homeopathy: The Principles & Practice of Treatment; Black Elk Speaks; and the Birthday Book (Remember how dead on The New Astrology was? This one is just as accurate on birthdates.). A new series we are carrying is from Church of Divine Man, including Clairvoyance, Healing, Meditation, Chakras and Cosmic Energy, both in tapes and book form. A large order of new books just arrived, including 500 Formulas for Aromatherapy, To Stir a Magick Cauldron (sequal to To Ride a Silver Broomstick), Celtic Mandalas, Feng Shui Handbook, and Falcon, Feather & Valkyrie Sword. Whew! And that's only the tip of the iceberg, too.

They haven't arrived yet, but we are expecting refrigerator magnet sets of words that you can rearrange into sentences. The sets come in these subjects: X-Files, Astrology, Dirty, Gay, Mythology, and computers. Sounds like fun, doesn't it? Also, we will soon have Eye Pillows, filled with lavendar and flax seeds, that relax the eyes and relieve tension.

Our Get-Ready-For-The-Millenium Science Fiction Book Sale to benefit the North Puget Sound AIDS Foundation is now on-going. Stop in, donate some, buy some, enjoy the browsing, all for a good cause.
