Live as half god, half man; half dead, half alive. One foot in the pleasures of flesh, the other sinking in the River Styx. Hail Dionysus; father of indulgence and mother of madness. 🍇🍷🎭🐆

He's draped in a reddish-pink and white cape and leaned against a small Greek pillar. Atop the pilar is a Dionysus bust statue and a small golden pinecone.

Pale white hands holding a black Muses cup, wrapped in a Dionysian rosary. One of the wrists has a black semicolon tattoo. The background is a reddish-pink shiny fabric.

Our newest blog post delves into Loki’s role in the tale of Ragnarok and how we interpret his actions in our practice. There are many lessons we take away from this legend that guide us in times of strife like we’re currently facing—may he grant us all the courage and strength to continue fighting ❣️

This space is so eclectic and fun. Do you need fresh lemon ricotta cookies AND a solid perfume and a vintage rosary but only want to make one stop? 😂 few would think that possible but it’s true. Very kind and welcoming folks, too!

With so many reasons to grieve right now, we offer the tools of our practice for healing the wounds of the heart and aiding in the mourning process. These offerings are under the auspices of Aphrodite Epitymbidia, She Upon the Graves; may She bring us comfort as we navigate this hardship together 🌹🪦

We pray this is a good sign, that She is working to bring Necessary Justice 🌩️

Bread is a central part of our kitchen witchery practice 🥖 When making it, we connect with our ancestors, bake protection and health into our nourishment, and ensure that every meal has a spark of joy, even when we have very little to go around. Delve into bread in Italian folk magic with us ❣️🥖 1/2
