eBay was driving me a bit nuts, as it seems to be most people want alot for a little money. So when I saw someone mention etsy, and it was all handmade items, I decided to move my store over there. Today I’m listing up items, which takes awhile, but here are a few examples of my listings.

I’ve got quite a few ritual oils now up on eBay

Hard to believe it was only a little over a week ago that I was posting up about making my first batch of ritual oils, and now I’ve got quite a few listed up in my store on eBay. My most popular so far have been my Air / Earth / Water / Fire set, and My Fast Money Oil.

It really feels good to see people buying them, it validates once again, I’m on the right path. I’ve been meditating and praying every night for guidance from the Goddess, and every sale feels like she is pointing and saying, “see? This is what you were meant to do. ”

Thanks everyone who has shopped at my store, your purchases are greatly appreciated it.

Finished up my first batch of ritual oils last night

I spent all yesterday afternoon and into the evening making up my first batch of ritual oils. It was a slow process, as each had to be individually mixed and charged. I made enough oil for about 3 – 6 .5ml bottles, so I have some on hand when it sells.

As I was mixing each oil, I visualized the essential oils as I added in bringing the properites of the oil to help whomever used it to reach their goal. Then, I infused magickal energy into each one when done.

I plan on infusing them with energy all a 2nd time as I sell them, just to give them a little extra kick.

Today I have to take pictures of all of them, write eBay auctions, and get them online. I also need to start getting items posted up on my website too. That tends to suffer because I always concentrate on my eBay store first.

I’m pretty excited about the oils. All are mixed in a base of Jojoba oil. Why Jojoba oil? According to Scott Cunningham, it was his oil of choice. See Jojoba oil is actually a wax that is liquid at room temps. (and it is solid when I store it in my garage shop in the winter, lol) It is made from the Jojoba plant which produces a bean pod and when heated, the beans cause an oil to be secreted. The desert peoples of Southern California and Mexico had long been using this oil to treat skin conditions and cuts.

Because it is a wax more than an oil, it does not go rancid like other oils will, giving it a very long shelf life. I’ve used Jojoba oil in my shea body butter mixes for years, and also use it when I make lip balms. It has been my oil of choice for many things. It has been a great day.

I finally received the last of what I need to make my ritual oils

One product I’ve been excited to make is ritual oils. I had essential oils on hand to make oils that I had used, but I wanted to expand my line to come out initially with 20 different ritual oils.

Monday, my bottles came in. I ordered .5ml bottles that have a tamper proof cap, that has a small, I don’t know what to call it, plastic tail? that can be used to dip in the oil, and give you a few drops of it.

Then today, my essential oils came in. So tomorrow, I start mixing up my oils.
