The Armory Collection
Poison Apple Printshop is a one-woman operation fueled by artist and printmaker Adrienne Rozzi. At the core of her artwork lies hand drawn original illustrations informed by witchcraft, magick, and the occult.
Mod Evil design balances sharp lines, a reserved color palate, and a dark aesthetic with rich tones to create versatile modern jewelry with a gothic edge. Mod Evil jewelry is designed and hand fabricated in Pittsburgh by Anya Weitzman.
A favorite weapon of assassins, The Dagger is a double-edged blade with a sharp point designed for stabbing.It is used in witchcraft as a magical instrument of invocation and the focusing of will, as well as for the cutting of ties and the piercing of enemies at a distance.
The design for this piece comes from “The Seer’s Amulets” series of drawings by Poison Apple Printshop. This dagger was hand forged out of sterling silver, etched on both sides, and hand finished with an antiquing patina.
The Siege Pendant amplifies your own defenses with two intersecting longswords. In the Tarot, the Two of Swords can represent making peace and seeking justice. The two swords also represent the crossroads, and because of this symbolize protection from negative influences coming from the four directions.
Arming yourself with the talisman of the crossing longswords, you will cut through all of the challenges which come your way. Handmade in solid sterling silver with a 24″ sterling silver chain,this pendant is etched on both sides and hand-finished with an antiquing patina, to bring out the beauty of this highly-detailed etch.

The Three of Swords Cuff is inspired by a controversial card in the Tarot pack.
The 3 of Swords can be a grim omen of pain, sorrow, and interference; yet it can also appear as a warning of an upcoming challenge. With the knowledge of these possibilities, one may avert the misfortune through foreknowledge, or at very least mitigate its potential effects.
This symbol used as a mystical weapon can make its wielder deadly to their enemies. By donning this cuff, one may become empowered to mercilessly conquer adversity.
The design for this piece comes from “The Seer’s Amulets” series of drawings by Poison Apple Printshop. With hand etched daggers fabricated from solid gold-tone brass, this cuff is adjustable within a range.

Aurora Falls Candle, naturally colored and infused with peppermint essential oil
For Real Surreal Club was founded by Masha Fikhman and Michael Koehler. Together they specialize in astral archeology. Ever on the search for elusive relics and mysterious fossils, they travel far and wide across the multiverse on their mystic quest.

Full Moon Lagoon candle, naturally whitened and infused with Lemongrass essential oil
All of the candles are made of pure beeswax and fragrant essential oils. Bees are sacred creatures of the sun, who produce incorruptible honey, the food of the gods. Honey is used for many things including the making of mead, the sacrament of elder deities. Beeswax also contains these mystic properties, and is considered a most pure substance for the creation of candles for this reason. Essential oils are often used for their healing, therapeutic effects as well as for their applications in spellcraft of witches.
Lava Labyrinth candle, naturally reddened and infused with Geranium essential oil
These candles are cast from molds created from genuine crystals, and come in a rainbow spectrum, perfect for late night magical rites. Artisan Gallery has a variety of them available for perusal while you imbibe the deep dark forces of gourmet coffee.
