Ritual Arts Atelier, your favorite witchcraft shop, is reopened! I’m back, with all of your favorites, and a few new offerings. The shop is fully stocked with Hekate and Lilith witch bottles, ritual bath products, Witch Protection products, Demonolatry oils, jewelry, Empath Protection products, and my new Freya Strength bottles. Over the next few weeks, I’ll be adding new Samhain/Halloween inspired goodies for you, as well as bringing back Hekate and Lilith candles.
I’ve received quite a few questions recently; so, I thought I’d answer them all in this post.
Why was Ritual Arts Atelier closed for so long?
Well, at the end of 2023, I decided to move my business into a larger, more warehouse like location. The plan was to close the shop from November 2023 to the end of January 2024. Then, I planned to reopen, after completing the move to my new location. During that time, big changes started to occur in my personal life, not bad changes, just BIG ones. Also, the new spot, just wasn’t quite working out as I had hoped. Although I tried to make it into a beautiful, magically charged office, there was simply too much toxic energy surrounding it. Finally, I decided I would have to leave, and find a new office space to move into.
In mid-July, I found the exact office space I was searching for. I quickly signed a new lease, and moved right in. Not only is it perfect for the needs of my business; but, it’s surrounded by the positive energy of the other like-minded tenants. I knew I was in the right place when the cleansing aroma of burning Sage met me as I walked through the door, on moving day.
Will you be reopening your other shop, Ritual Arts Coven?
Yes and no. I will be renaming my other shop, before reopening it, some time next year. Also, the merchandise will be completely different from what is in my Etsy witchcraft shop. This store will be linked to the new ventures I will be announcing very soon.
Will there be changes to your Ritual Arts Atelier Etsy witchcraft shop?
Yes. Some changes have already been implemented:
I no longer ship internationally. Due to rising civil unrest in many countries, I no longer feel safe shipping my creations internationally. Many countries are also changing their customs and shipping regulations and fees, to make it impossible for a small business to comply with their demands.
I have reduced the prices of all my merchandise by $1 or more. I understand that during this time, when every company and business is increasing their prices, this is probably not a wise business decision. However, when I started my shop, I wanted to make it easier for everyone to bring magick into their life. It would be impossible for me to fully recoup the cost of my supplies, time and work, from each product I sold. So now, in this horrid economy, when most people are stretched financially, I can’t, with a good conscious, raise my prices to meet inflationary costs. Basically, I’m taking the hit, so you don’t have to.
I’ve moved inventory from my other shops into Ritual Arts Atelier witchcraft shop. If you see labeling from one of my other shops on your product, that’s why. My other Etsy shop and Ritual Arts Coven have both been closed. All of the merchandise is now here.
Other changes are on the way as well. Many of products will not be restocked, once they have sold out. As inventory gets low, on these products, I will update everyone. I will be doing a complete changeover of merchandise next year. New versions of some favorites will be introduced. Some products will be completely discontinued. I will continue to update customers on all upcoming changes.
Change can be difficult, I understand. But, as a small witchcraft business, I must keep up with current trends and opportunities.
Over the next couple of months, I’ll be unveiling some very exciting opportunities for you to interact with me on a more personal level. I have a ton of new, informative content coming your way, including witchcraft tutorials, interactive media platforms, and Book of Shadows downloads.
I hope you enjoy my new website and blog. Please leave me comments on topics you’d like me to discuss, or any suggestions or questions you may have. I’d love to hear from you!
Blessed Be!
