Spyrit Dancers' Musings On All Things Wiccan

I watched a video yesterday that talked about social networking.  It was very eye opening.  For instance, there are so many people on facebook, that if it were a country, it would be the 4th largest.

I know I twitter about items in my shop, posts I make here, random bits of stuff, and occassionally I search for fellow wiccans and witches.  Well in my search, I stumbled across a woman called Witches Britches, who was twittering about some cabochons she had just listed up on her store, The Witches Britches on Bonanzle.

Multiple tweets later, during which she was being dumped on by a huge rain storm, I ended up buying a collection of small quartz crystal points that were the perfect size to put on the ends of my wands I’m making, at a price I offered to pay.  What a great deal! She got to sell something she had an excess of, and unlike going shopping at a traditional store, I was able to specifiy the exact width I needed max, so I got what I needed.

Well today, she is featured in one of the giveaway’s on Mrs. B’s blog.  She is giving away a really cool tarot bag, covered with bats, and two hand crafted spell candles, and a bag of The Witches Britches all natural herbal divination incense.  How cool!  It made it even better that I had formed a relationship with her the day before, just by searching keywords in twitter.

The youtube video I said that people are paying less and less attention to advertising, and more attention to peer reviews.  I know in this case, it is true.  I wouldn’t hesitate to shop in her store again, and also ask her for something specific that I don’t see listed.  Yes, the joys of social networking, they really are a great thing.
