CANDIED PUMPKIN

A traditional Dia de los Muertos ofrenda: sweet pumpkin cooked with piloncillo, orange juice, brown sugar, cinnamon, fresh ginger, maple syrup, honey, and clove.

 

CRYPT KING

You would know the secret of death.

But how shall you find it unless you seek it in the heart of life?

The owl whose night-bound eyes are blind unto the day cannot unveil the mystery of light.

If you would indeed behold the spirit of death, open your heart wide unto the body of life.

For life and death are one, even as the river and the sea are one.

In the depth of your hopes and desires lies your silent knowledge of the beyond;

And like seeds dreaming beneath the snow your heart dreams of spring.

Trust the dreams, for in them is hidden the gate to eternity.

Your fear of death is but the trembling of the shepherd when he stands before the king whose hand is to be laid upon him in honour.

Is the shepherd not joyful beneath his trembling, that he shall wear the mark of the king?

Yet is he not more mindful of his trembling?

For what is it to die but to stand naked in the wind and to melt into the sun?

And what is to cease breathing, but to free the breath from its restless tides, that it may rise and expand and seek God unencumbered?

Only when you drink from the river of silence shall you indeed sing.

And when you have reached the mountain top, then you shall begin to climb.

And when the earth shall claim your limbs, then shall you truly dance.

 

The Crypt Queen’s dapper consort: pomegranate juice, black pepper, oakmoss, coriander, black ginger, patchouli, dracaena, and a splash of lilac fougere.

 

The Crypt King is limited to 43 sets and is only available from our Etsy site. It will go live around 3pm pacific time today.

Round about the caldron go –

 

Create your own personalized hellbroth every time you bathe! The mad scientists at Black Phoenix Trading Post and Villainess have collaborated to reformat newts eyes, fenny snake fillets, bat’s wool, and other traditional witchin’ implements into a skin-softening, soul-enlivening bath powder format. Add a dash of Howlet’s Wing and a glop of Opium Tar to a newt bath! Or a toss a sprinkle of Lemurian Seaweed and Octopus Spittle into a tub full of Inquisitor’s Bile! And if the mood strikes you, soak in luxurious waters scented by unadulturated angel’s tears.

 

The possibilities are endless! The scents are strange and diabolically divine! Even the weirdest Weird Sister is sure to be pleased!

++ (GC) BPTP: HAIR GLOSS

We have combined Tahitian monoi, camelina oil, argan oil, and karanja oil to give your mane a gleaming finishing shine without leaving it gloopy, weighted-down, or greasy. Camelina oil provides a protective coating for the hair follicles, argan oil nourishes stressed hair, enhances elasticity, and repairs cellular damage to the hair strand itself, and a touch of Monoi oil adds moisture and enhances softness.

 

Your hair will be silkier, shinier, glossier, more vibrant, and frizz-free.

 

Black Phoenix’s Hair Gloss is paraben and sulfate free, and contains on petro-chemicals, no GMOs, and no triclosan.

 

Our hair gloss has a six-month shelf life.
