Come down out to Witchcraft District Bazaar for a day of fun, sales, seasonal featured items, treats, a raffle, and to meet the Yule Father and La Befana! Saturday, December 13, from 11am-6pm. Long before Santa Claus or St. Nicholas, there was Yule Father — Jólfąðr (literally translating to “Yule Father”), an ancient Norse name for Odin in his winter guise. He traveled during the Solstice accompanied by the Yule Goat, bringing gifts, blessings, and protection through the darkest nights. Alongside him arrives La Befana, the Italian Christmas Witch. Traditionally appearing on Epiphany Eve, she brings gifts to the good, […]

Come out to Priestess Renée’s Witchcraft District Bazaar for “MARCHOWEEN”! She wasn’t dubbed “The Queen of Halloween” for nothing! It goes far beyond it being her favorite holiday.

So, to help get her to Halloween 2025, she’s dedicating an entire day to it in March! Priestess Renée will be featuring: Limited Edition Halloween items, Halloween posters and Prints, Halloween decor, Halloween books, hand-poured Halloween soy candles—including a Ritual Candle, plus SO MUCH MORE […]
Stepping into the unknown can be scary and uncertain; it’s natural for us to seek safety and security, but real growth often happens when we challenge ourselves and take risks. Stepping outside of our comfort zones and embracing uncertainty can lead to personal development and a deeper sense of accomplishment. However, our brains hate risk! When faced with situations that involve risk or uncertainty, the brain often triggers feelings of anxiety or fear as a way to protect us from potential harm; we are more likely to avoid taking that risk. Sometimes the thought around risk does not involve, “What […]

In ancient Norse, he was Jólfaðr literally translating to “Yule Father”, which is actually another name for Odin. He would visit during the Winter Solstice along with the Yule Goat bringing […]
