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.

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.

Step into the Surreal Clubhouse
Artisan Boutique is home to a mysterious phenomenon from another dimension: Candles simultaneously real and surreal which invigorate the senses with transformative energies.
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.
Black Magic Mountain Candle, naturally colored and infused with Cedarwood essential oil
Through these relics they hope to give others a glimpse into the eye of the cosmos and its myriad manifestations. Join us on a dreamlike expedition into the unknown, the strange, and the surreal.
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.

⊕ SOVRIN ⊕
Kayla Garland knew from a young age that she wanted to be a fashion designer. She started SOVRIN in 2012 as a way to make the clothes which she wanted to wear but could not find anywhere else. Her work is known for soft black fabrics and darkly lovely prints inspired by sacred geometry and the anatomy of flora and fauna, all ethically and
sustainably made.
The Witching Hour runic tunic tank
A primary inspiration for Kayla is anatomy. She has long held an interest in skulls and bones, and is gradually accumulating a collection over time. Additionally, the shadow side of life and nature mysticism also are sources of inspiration for Sovrin. The creative process is unpredictable, however, and spontaneity is also an important element.
