Mere moments after I've posted a gift list dedicated to The VVitch, something verging on the line of perfection comes into view on Etsy. Eventhough I don't touch whisky (don't ask why, I don't want to remember...) I feel compelled to snatch one of these vinyl wrapped stainless steel hip flasks honouring Black Phillip. Not… Continue reading Live Deliciously
The other day I was over at my hangout These Unquiet Things, when up crept a new post featuring Mlle Ghoul's Hexmas List. It reminded me that I'd yet to put one together... But I wanted to do something a bit different from what I usually created. So, I decided to turn my attention towards… Continue reading Yuletide At Wyrd Words & Effigies : THE VVITCH GIFT LIST

I know nothing about Lena Bryksenkova, but if you do, please link me to her website! I am absolutely in love with her style.
Ages after I first encountered the hand crafted rings from Secret Wood, I'm still asking myself 'How are these even real?' Made in Vancouver using jewellery resin and fine wood, no one ring is the same. Each tiny, enchanted world that you will see is utterly unique. Now, I was wondering what these rings looked… Continue reading Secret Wood
Sweden is all snow, which means I've spent most of my weekend out in the forest with my camera. But I'm all revved up to share with you three artists I've discovered over the past few days, thanks to Sarah Elizabeth's superbly spooky Pinterest page. Drew McSherry Adam Burke Jel Ena
I've long been a listener to the eclectic sounds of Inuk musician Tanya Tagaq, and got myself into something of a delighted frenzy when I discovered her fourth album Retribution on Spotify. It's a phenomenal record which has already earned a place deep in my heart. It will, without a shadow of a doubt, be… Continue reading Sound Of The Day : Tanya Tagaq
