Looooook....!
Natural Magick Co-op's ritually harvested Agave thorns are back in stock. (some are up to 4 inches long!)

Offered are New Moon (harvested on Wednesday right after the New Moon) and Dark Moon thorns (harvested on Wednesday right before the New Moon).

Agave thorns are a perfect magickal tool for inscribing candles.
We ritually harvest these from the native Texas “Century Plant Agave Americana". You may request Dark Moon or New Moon harvested Agave thorns, depending on your intention.
We use our Dark Moon thorn for inscribing candles with Widdershins releasing, banishing or binding spells, (try some Banishing oil with that if you like) and our New Moon thorn for inscribing candles with Deosil spells of love, invocation, increase and making.

You only have to look at the plant to understand its powers. It's shaped like a classic camp fire, and each sword-shaped leaf ends in a sharp point. It's used as a barrier and defensive, protective hedge in many situations, so we definitely see these thorns used for protection and defensive magick. You could also use Agave thorns for any spell work that calls for a pin or needle. They could also be used for Voodoo dolls, to “pin down or bind a particularly nasty criminal or perpetrator.

The below correspondences are via Cunningham, Encyclopedia of Magical Herbs in plain text, C.L. Zalewski, Herbs in Magic and Alchemy in brackets, or my own interpretations in parenthesis. The Agave is in the Lily family and is related to the Aloe plant. Cunningham’s watery correspondences given for Aloe don’t apply to the fierce Agave plant, however. C. L. Zalewski’s Aloe correspondences are more accurate for Agave, unfortunately, she confuses Aloe Vera with the rare Lignum Aloes (Aquilaria agallocha)!

The Other Side: A Story of Women in Art and the Spirit World
by Jennifer Higgie
The first major work of art history to focus on women artists and their engagement with the spirit world, by the author of The Mirror and the Palette.

It's not so long ago that a woman's expressed interest in other realms would have ruined her reputation, or even killed her. And yet spiritualism, in various incarnations, has influenced numerous men—including lauded modernist artists such as Wassily Kandinsky, Piet Mondrian, Kazimir Malevich and Paul Klee—without repercussion. The fact that so many radical female artists of their generation—and earlier—also drank deeply from the same spiritual well has been sorely neglected for too long.

In The Other Side, we explore the lives and work of a group of extraordinary women, from the twelfth-century mystic, composer, and artist Hildegard of Bingen to the nineteenth-century English spiritualist Georgiana Houghton, whose paintings swirl like a cosmic Jackson Po***ck; the early twentieth-century Swedish artist, Hilma af Klint, who painted with the help of her spirit guides and whose recent exhibition at New York's Guggenheim broke all attendance records to the 'Desert Transcendentalist', Agnes Pelton, who painted her visions beneath the vast skies of California. We also learn about the Swiss healer, Emma Kunz, who used geometric drawings to treat her patients and the British surrealist and occultist, Ithell Colquhoun, whose estate of more than 5,000 works recently entered the Tate gallery collection. While the individual work of these artists is unique, the women loosely shared the same goal: to communicate with, and learn from, other dimensions.
Weaving in and out of these myriad lives while sharing her own memories of otherworldly experiences, Jennifer Higgie discusses the solace of ritual, the gender exclusions of art history, the contemporary relevance of myth, the boom in alternative ways of understanding the world and the impact of spiritualism on feminism and contemporary art. A radical reappraisal of a marginalized group of artists, The Other Side is an intoxicating blend of memoir, biography, and art history. ~ Bookshop

Here comes The Sun 🌞
Sun oil is made on Sundays in the hour of Sun in the daytime. Sun's number is six, and so Sun oil is made of six essential oils corresponding to the child king planet.
Focus mineral: Citrine
Sun is both the Solar King and the Eternal Child-King. Sun takes one year to complete its circuit from the perspective of Earth. Sun is also known as Helios in the Greek mythologies. Sun therefore rules matters of leadership, government, employment, protection, purification, success, pride, healing, divinity, wise counsel, prophesy, and power.
You can use Sun oil to work magick of these sorts, and to attune to the Sephiroth Tiphareth of the Tree of Life.
