I was recently blessed by a fellow death witch with this amazing Oil of the Dead and Incense of the Dead from Ward and Weave!
These things feel amazing!!
Asphodelo worked for 7 months to create and consecrate these amazing blends, as well as a Coin of the Dead.
The incense is cemetery crossroads dirt, tombstone lichen, dandelion root, cypress, frankincense resin, cinnamon quill, rose petals, and anise seed. Not only does it smell amazing but it’s incredibly potent for spirit work.
The oil is sweet almond oil, cemetery crossroads dirt, tombstone lichen, dandelion root, cypress, frankincense resin, cinnamon quill, rose petals, anise seed, and organic essential oils of frankincense, cypress and star anise. The oil was specifically designed for safe-passage in cemeteries.
I plan to put these products to work very soon and I’ll let you all know how they go.
If you’re interested in knowing more or purchasing some for yourself, visit Ward and Weave for the whole she-bang!

Hell House: The Red Room Part 1
Hell House had three bedrooms; the master bedroom that faced the street, the back bedroom, and the little bedroom, both of which faced the woods. The front room was where my grandparents slept, the back bedroom was my mother’s, and the little bedroom, or the red room as it would come to be called, was my aunt’s. She was around 2 years old when this started.
As my Papa tells it, my little aunt started waking up in the middle of the night very regularly. She would complain that ‘the red lights’ woke her up. As I have stated before, my grandfather was a fire captain and an ex marine, so after a week or so of this he decided to sleep in the room to solve the mystery of what was waking his daughter up. She was too young to articulate what she was seeing to him other than a ‘bright red light would wake her up.’
He laid down on the floor and waited while she when to sleep. At about 1:20a (which was always the most active time in Hell House) he was woken from brief slumber by a small, bright, red orb that he said flitted in from the window that faced the woods and started darting in circles around the room.
They never denied my aunt when she wanted to sleep in their room for fear of the light in the red room. I would become all too familiar with the red room myself… But that’s for another time.

Hell House: Mom’s Radio
As my mom tells it, she was alone one night in her room at Hell House when she began to hear a muffled voice. It scared her really bad until she discovered it was a little radio in her dresser drawer that had accidentally turned on. So she turned it off and put it back. Son she heard the voice again so she decided to pull the batteries. An hour or so later the radio turned back on for a third time, despite having no batteries. She took the radio to the garage and never slept with it in there again.

…Spent our day rummaging through the ghosts, abandoned, & forgotten treasures of others at a flea market today ☾ Couldn’t help myself from being captivated by the wonders of what history lies within some of these objects… What energy is still held onto them… Could it be the beautiful memories of a time that was so long ago? Or could it be a haunting - Waiting to be passed onto the next unsuspecting new owner.
We may have definitely picked up a few things that will make their ways into our captures that… who knows what tragedy or joy they have seen.
On another note… How radiating, enchanting, & gorgeous are these Titanium Aura Spirit Quartz? ☾ These are beginning to be made into some new Creations that we will soon be offering! We are eager to show you, friends…

It’s as though we enter this world alive, breathing, & loving.. but what seems to be missing is our purpose - That calling that haunts us from the moment we are born to the day that we leave our mortal skin - That desire that burns like a fire that so many attempt to smother.. with no greater reasons aside from fear. Fear in its incredible vast amounts of masks that it wears, but beneath it it remains.. That almighty & great consuming darkness that we are either consumed by or we conquer.
Earlier today I was standing outside of a store while the sky gave life to the Earth with its rain & I felt the presence of this woman walking behind me - Thinking not much of it.. until she turns around & asks if I am a musician - To which I replied that I am & to not go deeply into details here, life not only came unexpectedly to reach out to me, but for myself to reach out to her. For she told me that her family was in the music business & that since she was little (I believe she said 13) she always wanted to be a musician… but her family told her that she “didn’t have thick enough skin for the music business”… To which she told me that she was so thrilled to see that I have pursued my passion because she is now 66 years old & is just now learning how to play the guitar! She told me that such a calling is deep within your Soul. It never leaves you… to which I couldn’t agree more with her - But just as we were about to part our ways I told her that it is better now than never for it is not about the destination but it is the Journey that matters… I can’t express the Light that filled this beautiful strangers face. It is one of those random/yet entirely synchronistic events that will stay with me.
For I believe that we all know our Purpose here… It may come with different masks, just as fear does, but beneath the masks is one thing: Inspire.
The greatest minds in history have all followed their hearts - Led by what they Love - Not by their analytical & rationalizing minds.
What I love about this Crystal Ball Quartz Ring that we created is that it’s a reminder to create a future that matters - To love what I do - Be who I am - & To leave a legacy that inspires

Can you see the Old Victorian Ladies Face etched in by natural design? - I started carrying this around everywhere with me after I picked it up from a local crystal shop & went to walk into our basement & stopped dead in my tracks & started staring at this sphere… Realizing that there is a perfect face inside this Black Moonstone.
What a haunting & irreplaceable stone △ I wouldn’t sell this for anything - There is something too special about it

“Take away love, & our earth is a tomb”
This picture is of three beautiful & uniquely different pieces of a Hiddenite ∴ I was drawn to this stone after realizing it was one of the stones inside the book “Stones Of The New Consciousness” by Robert Simmons that we have & recommend to everyone ∴ I’ve only had it for less than a week, but the vibrations of energy & meditations I’ve had with it have blown my mind so far
We will be posting more as time goes on of crystals & stones from our own collection so you can see a little bit more into our own personal journeys that we are on ☠ Trevor

This will be the eleventh post in my series on astrological magic. In the last post, I talked about the planetary hours and days, as well as some of the spirits ruling over certain times. That information will all be necessary to understand in order to do all the things I’ll be explaining in this post, which will discuss magical circles and their geometric construction. Be careful when you’re doing these things. You’re always welcome to ask us if you have any questions.
To consecrate your working space before you carry out any magic is one of the most important parts of nearly all forms of ritual magic. There are a great many methods for preparing a circle, and I will readily admit that I believe certain methods are more effective than others, and that I feel as if some methods are just as good as not casting a circle at all (but I won’t get into that right now). For the type of magic I’m talking about now, I like D'Abano’s method of casting a circle, because it reflects planetary rulership, and it also calls upon the power and protection of some relevant ruling spirits for aiding in your work. It’s important to note that there is room for variation in this method if you want to work with a different system of spirits, but the basic geometric features of this type of circle are vital to its function, and to make sure you call on the power and protection of appropriately powerful and benevolent spirits is also essential. If you’d like to substitute something, and you want to double-check something with us, you’re welcome to get our opinion or advice by asking. The traditional ruling spirits and D'Abano’s are here, in the previous post.
The first thing you should do in this method is make a circle which is 9 feet in diameter. Inside it, make a circle with a diameter of 7 feet (meaning its edge will be 1 foot in from the larger one), and be sure it is concentric with the larger one as precisely as possible. Make a third concentric circle with its edge one foot in from the second (meaning it will be 5 feet in diameter). These are the basis for your circle.
Next, you want to find the point in the innermost circle which is farthest north. Draw a straight line from there through the center of the circle until you reach its southern edge. Then do the same from east to west. Now you can make the last circle one foot in from the innermost so far. The lines you already made will cross this circle’s boundaries. Finally, make four pentagrams outside your circle. One at the southeast, one at the southwest, one at the northwest, and one at the northeast. The points of each of these should be directed toward the center of your circle. Now you have most of the geometric basis for your circle of protection, and you can start on writing in the names and symbols which should be included.
Inside the edge of the second circle (if the outermost is the first), you should start at the farthest point east. Beginning there, write the name of the hour you’re working in. Next, write the name of the angel who rules the hour. Following the angel’s name, you will add its sigil (the sigils of these angels are easily found by using Google, and entering something like “sigil of the archangel Raphael,” for example). Next, you will write the names of the ruling angel of the day, as well as its sub-ruling angels or spirits. Now you should write the name of the season. Then, you should write the names of the spirits ruling over that season (and keep them in the order that I have listed them here). After that, you should add the name of the spirit ruling the sign of the season. Next, you should add the names of the Earth, Sun, and Moon according to the season. This completes the writing in the space between the second and third circle.
Inside the edge of the first (outermost) circle, start again at the farthest point east. Here, you will write the name of the aerial king who rules the day you’re working in. At the south, west, and north, you’ll write the names of the aerial spirits under his command (in the same order I gave them to you here, excluding the spirit Flaef on Friday, but adding him in on Wednesday).
Between the third and fourth circles (outside the edge of the innermost circle), there will be four parts divided up by the lines you’ve made. In each of these parts (starting with the southeast, and proceeding clockwise as before), you should draw a cross (not a Christian cross, but one where the lines are of equal length), followed by an appropriate name of God for your purpose, followed by another cross (employing a total of four different names of God).
The last step in building your circle is to write “Alpha” on the eastern part of the innermost circle, allowing the line through the center to divide it, so it appears like “Al|pha” and then to write “Omega” on the western part, allowing it to be divided by the line so it appears like “Om|ega”.
This is all the geometric knowledge you need in order to build an effective circle based on the time. From here, you should proceed to consecrate your circle. I’ll speak about methods of doing that in my next post. I hope this post has been useful to you. Thank you for reading.
