If you are like many of us, society taught you to prioritize your brain's logical skills over your heart's emotional abilities. Our ancestors would disagree with this practice. The ancient Egyptians believed the heart to be the source of wisdom and the center of intellect, emotions, and …
On Soul Mates
In my last post, I shared some insight on working with the Spirit of your tools. I also shared my view on the Spirit vs the Soul. Today, I’d like to explore the different types of Soul Relationships. So many people I give readings have this idea that the person they are in (a miserable) …
Thanking “the Spirit”
Happy Sunday! If you follow us on Instagram or Facebook, you may have noticed that I often suggest expressing gratitude to the Spirit of whatever “tool” you are using. Be it any of the elements, crystals, herbs – even your tarot deck—I suggest starting whatever ritual you are about to embark on …
Green Wood Dragon
On February 10, 2024, we welcomed the Lunar New Year of the Green Wood Dragon, which stretches until January 28, 2025. This year promises to be particularly fascinating because the dragon stands out among the Chinese zodiac's 12 animals as the sole creature of myth. Unlike its European …
Celebrate Your Love
Did you ever watch the movie “Under the Tuscan Sun?” It’s one of my favorite romantic comedies. Not only was the acting perfect, but the story was so relevant to all of us. I haven’t seen the movie since it first came out in 2003, but I recall that the main character, Diane Lane, …
On Love Magick
Love is in the air! Can you feel it? This is the time of year when folks come into Curio, Craft & Conjure for all of their romantic needs. This month, we will dedicate each newsletter to Love <3, so we will start with guidelines and build from there. As tempting as it is to go crazy …
Sickroom Clearing
In our Instagram posts, we have been focusing on the theme of “clearing” this month (follow us for daily inspiration @curiocraftconjure) - which brings me to a ritual you can perform to help yourself or others when sick. Sickroom Clearing is a practice you can do for yourself or anyone you share …
The Art of Surrender
How is your 2024 so far? I must admit that mentally, I was in that “liminal head-space” that reminded me of high school for these last two weeks. The time between Christmas and New Year's always felt dreamy when I was younger; that was precisely how I’ve been feeling. For whatever reason, I …
Happy New Year!
Happy New Year! We are all familiar with the idea of making New Year's resolutions as much as we are familiar with breaking them. While the New Year is a perfect time to create goals you'd like to see through, we can (and should!) empower our resolutions through ritual. At Curio Craft …
Happy Holidays!
As we embrace this season, I want to take a moment to wish you a happy holiday. Whatever you celebrate, may the warmth of the season embrace your heart, mind, and spirit. I invite you to look past the commoditization of the holiday and spend time “caring.” Care for your family. Care for your …
What this Mercury Retrograde brings
We are in the “thick” of Mercury’s retrograde. If you don’t already know, this is a time that is reputed for causing a lot of havoc in people's lives. The reason for this is that Mercury is the “messenger” planet. Anything that has to do with “getting your message across” can be delayed, …
Bring in the Blessings!
Happy Sunday! It is hard to believe we are wrapping up another year. Not only has the year flown by, but many things in all our lives have shifted. Think back to this time last year. What has shifted for you? In my life, I see both the good shifts and the “other” shifts, but I wouldn’t …
The Magick of Camphor
We have many items at Curio, Craft & Conjure that people are curious about but afraid to ask. No one knows “everything” so please feel free to ask questions when visiting us at the store or on social media. We are all avid learners at Curio (we often learn new things from our clients!) - and …
Saved by the Bell
Did you know that bells are powerful space cleaners? They are – which is why they are traditionally incorporated into churches. Bells are beautiful cleansers because, unlike other methods (like smudging, mopping, and dusting) they can operate spontaneously. Tip: Hang bells in …
The Evil Eye
Happy Sunday! Have you ever asked yourself (or anyone else) what exactly is "the evil eye"? This newsletter addresses that question and, more importantly, how to remove it. It is important to note that the evil eye is not the same thing as a jinx, curse, or spell. Spells are targeted …
