If you were lucky enough to join us for our sold out “Intro. to Traditional Witchcraft” lecture last autumn we have some exciting news! Join us this coming May for its follow-up sibling class, “Hallowing the Witch’s Compass.”

“In this fun lecture/practicals class, Shop Witch Adrian will walk you through the history, theory, and practicalities of the traditional witch’s compass and the Wiccan ritual circle. We’ll discuss quarters and directions as well as the various panoply of a fully dressed witch’s circle. We’ll also discuss when and where its appropriate, and when it isn’t needed.

Then, together as a group, we will practice casting and breaking various circles and compasses so that everyone gets to “crack the ice” and playfully enjoy learning and becoming comfortable with one of witchcraft’s most profound acts. This helps make it seem less daunting for first-timers and helps solidify energetic processes for future use.”

Tickets are now available in-store and online!

Welcome to this week’s installment of “Ingredient of the Week”, witches! This week we’ll introduce you all to one of our most pungent ingredients, Sulphur Powder.

Also known as Brimstone, sulphur is a masculine ingredient. His element is fire and his planetary rulers are Mars and Saturn. Sulphur correlates with the astrological signs of Aires, Scorpio and Capricorn.

Sulphur is a strong exorcism ingredient and is used for banishing evil and negativity. It can be used for jinx removal and hex breaking spell work, for preventing curses and also for psychic protection. In witchcraft and voodoo, it is used to dispel or prevent hexing. Sulphur also helps to destroy an enemy’s power over you. Conversely, as its nickname may suggest due to its association with hellfire, sulphur can be used as a cursing component or to summon dark spirits.

Available in store and online.

Welcome to this week’s “Ingredient of the Week” spotlight, witches. This week we will feature a Curio Bar classic, the rusty horseshoe!

The horseshoe is a timeless talisman that has been cherished for its spiritual properties for centuries. This simple yet powerful charm is believed to bring good luck and protection to its wearer, making it a popular choice for those seeking to attract positive energy into their lives. It is said that the energy transfer from the horse to the horseshoe is what gives this amulet its powers.

In traditional folklore, a horseshoe is said to have the power to repel evil spirits and negative energies. Hanging a horseshoe in the home is said to bring good fortune and protect against ill will and harm. Carrying a horseshoe with you is believed to provide spiritual protection and bring good luck to your endeavors.

A horseshoe is often made from iron, a metal that is thought to have powerful spiritual properties. The shape of the horseshoe, with its curves and open ends, is said to symbolize the continuous flow of good luck and positive energy.

Available in-store and online.

We may be experiencing a warm, wet start to spring, but the name given to today’s featured haus plant suggests otherwise. We’d like to take a moment to introduce you all to a new superstar in the storefront, Philodendron Snowdrift!

Named for its pale green to white foliage, Philodendron Snowdrift will be a striking addition to your haus plant collection. Like all philodendron, these beauties love bright, indirect light. Since many members of this plant family are found naturally in Latin America, they like warm temperatures with higher levels of humidity. Water your Snowdrift when the top inch of soil is dry. Mist them two or three times a week to maintain humidity. Remember to always use a high-draining potting mix, when repotting, so it will not become waterlogged.

We have a limited quantity available, witches! Stop by this weekend and adopt yours.

It’s back, witches! Join us on Friday May 15th for the Spring edition of our “Grimoire Share!”

“The very first of its kind, HOOF + HORN is excited for the return of the Community Grimoire Project, a seasonal party where all are welcome to hang out, socialize, and add a spell or ritual they’ve personally worked into the Community Grimoire. 

We ask all witches to bring a typed and printed spell, ritual, or working you have performed, including a supply list, lunar and astrological timing, and results, to the party. A note about anything tradition-specific will also help community members add context to the entry (at H+H we are blessed with a community that draws on magical traditions from all across the world). Don’t forget to add your name, magical or legal, to your submission! 

All entries will be collated and preserved, with contributed calligraphy, illumination, and illustratration by Shop Witch Adrian. The Community Grimoire will be on display in the storefront for all to peruse and learn from between the seasonal Grimoire Shares.”

This is a free event, with refreshments and our haus teas available. We look forward to seeing all of you there!”

Welcome to this week’s “Ingredient of the Week” spotlight witches! This week’s feature is one of the Shop Witches’ favorites, Dragon’s Blood!

Some other folk names for this resin are Blood, Blume, Calamus Draco, Draconis Resina, Sanguis Draconis, and Dragon’s Blood Palm. Dragon’s Blood is a masculine herb. His planetary ruler is Mars and his element is Fire.

It is said that this resin can be burned to entice errant lovers to return. A stick of the incense placed under the mattress will cure impotency. When carried, the resin is a powerful protector. When sprinkled around the home, or burned, it helps to guard the home from negative energies and evil. Adding a pinch of Dragon’s Blood to any incense mixture increases its potency. To bring peace to a noisy, chaotic house mix the powdered resin with sugar and salt. Add the mixture to a glass bottle and cover tightly. Leave it in a place where it will not be disturbed.

Available by the ounce and as an infused oil, in-store and online.
