A little sneak peek 🫣 into the big bowl I'm working on. It's not due for a couple of weeks so I'll be cleaning up the lines but this sigil is epic and power packed y'all . It radiates strength in community. Protects right action and incorporates the goddesses as well. I mean I thought it would be cool but did not fully expect the energy that would come through! Working on the outside tonight. Wish me good vibes because this elm wood burns totally differently than the acacia I normally burn oi...

This highly underrated "w**d" has so many benefits! I use it in my salve for inflammation and it is something I can actually ingest for health. If you like things like this give Ivy Lynne's Apothecary a follow. It's a super fun page to interact with and so much information is shared!

🌼 Herb Reveal: Dandelion

Ok so I've been really thinking about doing a weekly rune pull here on the page. What do you all think? It would be a single rune.

If you'd like to see that, then give me a day you think would be best in the comments!

Okay kids, I am going to do something I do not usually do. My waffle is not selling well, so I am going to drop each shot to 💲2️⃣.5️⃣0️⃣. Anyone who has already taken a shot will have all of their shots doubled- including the free ones.

If I can get all shots claimed before June 5th, I will also add a second winner who will receive a small **mystery** package of 5 items- crystal, or jewelry.

If they can all sell out by this Friday (May 29), I will either do a third shot call, or enhance the mystery package (depending on the number of entrants.)

I will update my pinned post shortly.

I've been on a bit of a hiatus. Just drying herbs, making incense, and doing school work. So my posts have been pretty basic lately. We all have ebbs and flows in life. I totally forgot to get some product pictures before packaging them too, like the drum haha but I am still kickin'! Even though business has been slow. With rising prices across the US small businesses are taking a hit. I hope my fellow small business owners are doing well though. For this week's shout outs I'm just going to do the businesses I've been interacting with the most this week. You'll find them below 👇 take some time to check them out and offer some support through follows, hearts, and comments. It helps them and the algorithm 😉
