Mr. Tumnus
“He was only a little taller than Lucy herself and he carried over his head an umbrella, white with snow. From the waist upwards he was like a man, but his legs were shaped like a goat’s (the hair on them was glossy black) and instead of feet he had goat’s hoofs. He also had a tail, but Lucy did not notice this at first because it was neatly caught up over the arm that held the umbrella so as to keep it from trailing in the snow. He had a red woollen muffler round his neck and his skin was rather reddish too. He had a strange, but pleasant little face, with a short pointed beard and curly hair, and out of the hair there stuck two horns, one on each side of his forehead. One of his hands, as I have said, held the umbrella: in the other arm he carried several brown-paper parcels. What with the parcels and the snow it looked just as if he had been doing his Christmas shopping. He was a Faun. And when he saw Lucy he gave such a start of surprise that he dropped all his parcels.
‘Goodness gracious me!’ exclaimed the Faun.”
– The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe

“Carrion Flowers”, Chelsea Wolfe

Watching him wind through the crowd, I savored the the taste of it and the secret sharing; then, quick and guilty, I replaced the glass and continued on my rounds.” – Kushiel’s Dart Jacqueline Carey
Perhaps, like Phèdre, you are an anguisette/courtesan/spy, ready to unravel international affairs while conducting your own sexy affairs and you need the scent of joie upon you when you are far from home. Perhaps, you are simply tired from being in the heart of the dark of winter and would like the scent of joie to revive you and remind you that while perhaps you aren’t going to large masked parties full of tableaux, intrigue, and flirtation, you are still worthy of having the oiled perfume of joie upon your breast to lighten your spirit and remind you that adventure is still possible. Even if it may not require a months long voyage by sea.

Love is a Stranger
Love is a stranger
In an open car
To tempt you in
And drive you far away

Comes in like the flood
And it seems like religion
It’s noble and it’s brutal
It distorts and deranges
And it wrenches you up

Mermaid
Your serpentine many-finned tail curls as you sing for the sheer joy of driving mortals to death with the beauty of it. You are clothed only in strings of pearls your sisters have strung for you and your long wild hair with sailor’s keepsakes strewn through your locks. They couldn’t keep them safe from you. Nothing can. You eat only the finest oysters off of their mother of pearl shells and drink wooden casks of rum stolen from the ships you have wreck. In the morning, you whisper with your sisters half-heard stories from the mortal world – tales of love lost, ruin that came from gambling and drinking too hard, things found and missing and then you sigh and sleep the sleep of one who does not have to worry about such crushingly trivial matters.

Modern Anchorite
Social distancing and varying degrees of shelter in place has been hard on all of us – hard on our essential workers, hard on our home workers, hard on our apocalyptic housefrauses. Everyone’s routine has been disrupted and it’s hard to say what the future will bring. But our future will still bloom spring. We can still bake or buy little cakes for a moment of sensual pleasure. We can still see the greens outside of our windows and we can find small joys inside our anchorholds if we know where to look.

Use to remember there’s loveliness inside our anchorholds and outside.

nolite te bastardes carborundorum
This phrase comes from The Handmaid’s Tale. It’s not “real” Latin which is why I like it so much. It roughly translates into Don’t Let the Bastards Get You Down. During tax season, I always figure if June had time for sedition in Gilead, I could keep myself together during tax season.
It’s hard not to get unraveled with so much change and uncertainty. It’s hard not to let the bastards get us down. But we can try by creating art in all its forms, being kind to each other, reading, dreaming and peering out of our windows.
Scent Notes: Warm earl grey tea, a feisty blend of sparkling citrus notes, spicy ginger and a touch of black pepper.
Use to gather up strength and calm and center yourself.

Queen in Exile
And sometimes, when the days are long and dark and dreary, I tell myself a story and it is this:
Once upon a time, queens were often in exile, often due to a rival queen. A rival queen could even be your sister-in-law who would send your husband’s blood stained jacket to her husband to show that she could take care of things at home while he was “busy” “abroad”. She wanted to send his head, but was talked out of it and now there is no body for you to bury and no man to keep you safe. Or some variation of this. Power plays, battles, murder. Sometimes you would have sanctuary in crypts, sometimes you would flee the country. It’s never just once. It is always messy. There is never much time to plan. You can only snatch what you could carry on the run – furs, jewels, letters of safe conduct, documents with incriminating details, mementos, money. Sometimes, not even that.
You are a modern queen in exile now. You’ve lost most of your means that you once had – your power, your titles, your land, your goods. You are on the run, ever plotting, ever scheming ever learning how to be sovereign. One day you’ll be back to court and when you do, it will now belong to you. Your own throne, your own crown, seated in your own power.
Wear to be present in your own power, to know your allies and to recognize the opportunities that the Universe is giving you.

Lavender Essential Oil
(banish sadness and bring calm, in the name of God Herself)
Lemon Essential Oil
(banish negativity and bring clarity, in the name of God Herself)
Cypress Essential Oil
(banish low vibrations and bring grounding, in the name of God Herself)
Salt
(absorb toxins and bring healing, in the name of God Herself)
Grapeseed Oil
(bring the Moon’s blessing, in the name of God Herself)
Nothing else.
Sea Hag
You are a wild creature of the deep that no man can keep. Your hair is a tempestuous tangle of aquatic greenery with sailors’ smashed keepsakes used as your crowning glory. You harness the might of the ocean with your salt sea breath. You are clothed in ozone, stolen jasmine and oakmoss. You answer to no one but your sisters who are equally swathed in fierceness and glamour. You swim together as a savage pack, your voices violent in their beauty.

Use to incite power, self-reliance, boldness, swagger, and/or vengeance. Fit for Hags of every gender.
Sea of Sin
Sea of sin
My second skin
My home from home
When I’m in doubt
My hands reach out
And I’m never alone
It gets wetter and wetter
As it gets better and better
Sea of sin
Know where you’ve been
And I’m prepared. . .
– “Sea of Sin”, Depeche Mode

A most carefully guarded skin, scented with sea salt, ocean mist and sea moss. A forgotten crushed gardenia blossom once used to adorn her loose hair. A reminder of captured bridehood: earthy vetiver and white cedarwood. It can be used to recollect what it is to be free and desired.
Shadowed
Who will you pretend to be under the full of the harvest moon this All Hallow’s Eve? Will you be offering the poisoned candied apple? Slaying evil spirits in dark hay fields? Will you be kissing the masked stranger who offers you armfuls of orchids? Whoever you are under the dark of the shadows, remember daylight comes sooner than you think.
This ritual fragrance oil can be used for stepping into your shadow aspects and drawing down spirits and goddesses.
Snow Queen
A snow laden glen. A rosewood table laden in orchids and jasmine. A pallid tray heaped with glittering, pale marzipan draped petit fours. Her skin, bloodless. Her hair, pale as milk. Her ghostly gown, magnificant. Use to materialize a regal and haughty presence.
The Heart of the Dark
The real heart of the dark in your everyday life faerie story. Witchcraft is meant to be used for those who Want something as much as a fairy tale’s heroine or villain. If you didn’t have a blaze of unfulfilled need within you, why would you go on a journey that will have unknown and terrifying consequences? You won’t be able to map out every step of this path, you won’t know what will be ask of you to feed that fire and you don’t know if you will succeed. What will it bring into your life? What will it take away? No sensible person would travel down murky, unknown corridors unless. . .unless you Wanted something fiercely in the dark of your heart.
