Giveaway! Mabon Incense from Old World Witchery


This months giveaway comes to us from Melissa at Old World Witchery. She has graciously donated her Mabon incense in honor of the upcoming Sabbat. I had the chance to speak with Melissa, here's what she had to say:

1. Please tell us a little about your magical business. 
One of my favorite things to do is blending incense from fresh herbs,resins, and essential oils. It is such a magickal and spiritual act for me, and I decided to open an Etsy shop devoted to just that - handblended ritual incense and oils created with intent and only using certified organic ingredients. Most of my blends are created during corresponding lunar phases, depending on the purpose of the blend. Any blend for a specific deity is done in ritual, especially if it is a blend for Hekate.

Every ingredient I use is carefully selected due to it's magickal and/or healing qualities and planetary correspondences, again depending on the purpose of the blend. I don't always select ingredients that "smell pretty"; ritual incense, in my opinion, is used to lend power to your rites and using appropriate ingredients is very important to me.

All work is done in a section of my kitchen reserved just for this ~ the kitchen truly is the heart of the home, and it such a magickal place in my own home because of the time spent in there not only cooking, but working magick. We tend to move every few years due to my husband's job, and the kitchen is always the first room in the new house that is purified and blessed (and, of course, Hekate takes Her place at the threshold, as well!).
 
 2. Do you have a favorite product or products that you make?It's hard to pick one favorite product as I love them all, but I think my "Purification" incense blend is my most favorite to blend and burn. It has so much positive energies imbued in it, and I love the aroma.

3. Please explain the item you are giving away.
The Harvest Resins were created with natural tree resins and blended with a touch of honey and pumpkin pie scent, and colored in autumn colors using natural ingredients. Autumn is my most favorite time of the year; I love the golden colors of the trees and leaves and the scents of pumpkins and spice is very comforting to me. So much so that my home is scented like that pretty much year round! I enjoy making seasonal resins in this manner; it's fun to do and my younger children enjoy helping, too!


Now for the rules to enter. Go to Melissa's shop, find a few products that you like, and come back here to comment on them. Please be sure to leave your email address in your comment so I can contact you if you are the winner. The giveaway will last for one week, at which time I will announce the winner. Also, for extra credit, check out Melissa's Facebook Fan Page and become a fan! Good luck to everyone who enters! Thank you to Melissa for donating her lovely Mabon incense!

  1. One of the things on this site that absolutely like is the NIGHT MAGICK Bewitching Perfume Oil. It's tired off with a lovely pentagram pendant on a ribbon that complements the lovely bottle. With a name like "Night Magick", it would be an automatic eye cater and one would think that it wouldn't smell anything less than heavenly. Another item i liked at the Old World Witchery is the Custom Triple Moon Mini Book of Shadows Journal. The beautiful corner plates and wonderful filigree moons surrounding the gem in the middle of the goddess symbol on the cover complement each on the making this book of shadows ever more lovely. I also like the Amethyst Polished Tumbled Gemstones. My birthstone is Amethyst and seeing any shop have them brings the biggest smile to my face. I like many other things that shop has but if i were to list them all my comment would be very long. :)

  14. I just got my first order from Melissa at Old World Witchery. I love the scents of fall so I had to get the Harvest Blessing wax tarts, Ritual candle, and Ritual Incense and simmering Brew, as well as her Harvest Moon cone incense. They really do bring out that Fall smell of pumpkins, Cinnamon, and that crisp fall scent the air has. She also scent me a free sample of her Crushed Selenite Spell powder and Samhain Incense, so I can wait to try them ALL. I am a fan of hers on FaceBook under Star Storm.
