Now that LS+LC is updated, I’m looking to update The Glamoury Apothecary more. I’m looking for information on the following:
1. Boys (and boy-identified), what kind of ritual oils do you want? I do v. small batch 5ML bottles and once the scent run is gone, it’s done.
2. Girls, (and girl-identified), what kind of ritual oils do you want?
3. If you were interested in deity-centric ritual cords that I handspin, what deity/ies would you be interested in?
4. What kind of loose incense are you interested in? To achieve a specific purpose or to a specific deity? If so, to what/to whom?
5. If you wanted a doll for a specific goddess, what goddess would you want?
6. If you wanted hand dipped candles, what would you want to use them for?
I am interested in feedback to all these questions, but question #1 has me particularly stumped. I know boys liked Man in Black, it sold out in like a week. Right now I have Stag King in stock but I’d like to have more boy-centric oils.
Hint: More than one person piping up for a particular thing = an increased likelihood of me producing it.

I work with the seven classical planets, mostly, but I’ve been on a Druidic kick lately. There the four powers are often the Hawk of May, the Salmon of Wisdom, the White Stag, and the Great Bear. I know a lot of guys who are into Doctor Who and the Walking Dead — not necessarily together — what about “zombie repellant?” Or “Time Lord?”

Through which Druidic trad is that? 🙂 I’m ADF so it’s totally different (http://www.adf.org).
Ooooooooooooooh I like Zombie Repellent 🙂

Let me inspire you, darling! (I almost typed, “Darking”, so just use that word, too, along with the following for oils):
Vampire (boy or girl, incense or oil)
The Wild Hunt (oil and incense)
Arawn (oil and incense)
Gwyn Ap Nudd (oil and incense)
Dark Hunter as a perfume oil (SEE A THEME!)
Freya and Frey (incense, deity, oil, dolls. Omg, I want a Freya dolly!)
Oil and incense for the Peacock Angel (Feri trad)
Candles mostly for devotionals and ritual work: Red candles for sex magic, blue for dream work, green Midsummer candles, black and red for underworld work–like black with little red garnets on the outside…that I could send you, or you could get and roll them in chips. In fact, gem candles! I would so help you make these!)
Ok, I’ll calm down now.
Though I also think you should just make fun scent oils entitled, “Goth Grrl” and “Goth Boi” that can be interchangeable or worn together. 🙂
Hugs,
Lys

I would love larger bottles….I need a scent to last if its a one-off that I can’t replace! I want some of that stag king, but I dont want my new signature smell to run out fast and be sad, haha.

This is really valuable feedback, Chris. I appreciate it! I’ll be bottling future limited edition scents in a 5ML Amber Euro Bottle, which is bigger than the corked bottles I have and using my updated labels for it. 🙂
