Witch Mentors, Vulva Cream, and Pagan Jewelry
Monday is funday when you look inside.
Dear Witches,
December tends to be show and tell time around these parts. While I don’t love consumerism, I DO love getting people presents, and I adore the idea of supporting the small businesses of witchy folks in our community. Lately I’ve been coming to realize that we, as a collective, will only liberate ourselves from the Necrostate (capitalist colonialism) when we believe that we can support ourselves without it. Today we’ll begin that support with moisturizing our vulvas (or if not yours, someone you love), attending to our occult reading needs, and celebrating our pets. High priorities all!
Before we begin, don’t forget to join us on the Substack APP for our Live Chat tomorrow at 11:30am. We’ll be discussing how to listen to our intuition even when we’re feeling stressed, tired, or overwhelmed (which is exactly when we most need it and when it’s hardest to hear it!). Hope you can join us!
Love, Amanda

She provides rituals, and lessons in how to foster a relationship with crystals, herbs, living creatures, and elemental spirits, as well as our own stories, and write your own spells.

GLAMOUR PUSS HYDRATING VULVA BALM
Our beloved Mystery Cult-er Dana has a sexy shop called The Booty Parlour - it’s got all sorts of yummy things in it like pheromone perfumes to call in a lover and lip glosses infused with aphrodisiacs!
I recently tried their Glamour Puss vulva balm and loved it. The texture is perfect, not messy, doesn't dry too fast, smells good, no taste. Perfect for intimate moments… or making ALL moments intimate! Makes a great *silk* stocking stuffer. Wink.
Glamour Puss is a daily-use, all-natural balm designed to hydrate, condition, and revitalize your most intimate skin, leaving you feeling supple, luscious, and irresistibly glamorous. It’s organic, and safe to use before, during, and after intimacy! Be sure to apply generously, and enjoy the most pleasurable, silky glide. AND it comes with RITUALS.

Arte Arcana Painted Jewelry by Aria Ferraro
I was first turned on to Arte Arcana when Aria Ferraro sent me a beautiful pendant of my beloved familiar, Pagan. I TREASURE it. I wanted to share her work with all of you because I know that many of you have pets you’d like to keep close to your heart, or a friend who would love a pet portrait as a gift.
Arte Arcana is a tiny Italian Bottega (Italian workshop) founded by Aria Ferraro and influenced by the need to honor the old tradition of Italian craftmanship that has survived for centuries.
Arte Arcana has lots more besides pet pix though. For example, I also really love these candle earrings (above).
Aria’s got great stuff, and it’s fun to support artists making things by hand.

Send a Mystery Cult Member to Mayo for Medical Testing
One of our dear Mystery Cult members, Megan, was recently diagnosed with a rare form of cancer. She’s traveled back and forth to Mayo for lots of testing; now she needs to spend an extended amount of time up there for MORE testing in addition to having the surgery she needs. All this travel means that her partner will have to take time off work, they will need a pet sitter, lodging, gas, food, as well as the additional medical costs. If you can afford to help out a sister witch in need of our care, please click here to donate. Even a little bit helps! https://www.gofundme.com/f/37gpta9ry0
