Starting a Pagan Crafts Business

I have had this idea on my mind for a long time and I do not know where to begin. I have always wanted to own and operate my own Craft and Ritual supply shop or business featuring my own handmade and handcrafted oils, powders, spells, and supplies. I have spent 16 years learning my craft and how to create my own supplies, tools, and other necessities. and I feel I should make them available to the magical communities. Many of you have seen some of my personal spell work and recipes on here and these are hand made no artificial ingredients or synthetic anything unless specified. I realize starting a business like this takes a lot of money and effort but I am willing to put forward what I have and see what happens. I am going to start small and maybe list some things on Amazon and on Google and other social sites I am associated with to see what kind of response I get. I intend to make everything affordable and reasonably priced. How many times have I seen things listed for prices that are ridiculously expensive and sometimes these products are fake, synthetic, or cheaply made!  If you are going to pay a price for something then it should be from a serious crafter and made with quality and attention to their work and I am one of few that really does put effort , time, and intention into my work and everything I do!  I have done work for individual people in the past and someone mentioned to me I should make it a business or a profitable venture.   


So let me give you all a rundown of everything I know how to create and do and see what ya'll think..suggestions and ideas for other things are most welcomed!!




1: Ritual Oils, made from pure 100% herbal and oil ingredients and the herbs, roots and other ingredients are left in the bottle. Individually made 1oz and 2oz bottles and generous portions so you have plenty to do awhile! Price $5.00 per bottle    




2: Hand sewn and beaded or plain spell and mojo bags, made with cotton fabric, occasionally hand dyed, and leather cording, all colors, sizes tiny to large. Individual beading of runes, names, or wording or designs upon specified request Small is $1.50 medium and larger sizes are $3.00 for plain and unadorned. Beaded and designed bags are all $5.00 each.  




3: Herbal supplies, incenses, powders and coarse mixtures, from my own personal recipes. Many types of Love, Money, Luck Banishment, Reversal, Protection, even the dark sides of magic. Again, made in large sized individual batches intended for a good while of use! I have had many compliments on these about how great they smell and the generous sized portions. $5.00 per individual batch made.  




4: Personally and ritually crafted spell jars and bags for nearly every purpose and need, love, money, psychic, banishment, protection, reversal, even darker themed magic. All work is done during the specific moon times and during specific days or observances of specific Gods,Goddess, and deities, of your choice. These are made with specific ritual herbal and powder ingredients, oils, stones, charms, and a personally written spell paper for the customer in Theban script, Either the jar is sealed with a ritual candle or the bag is charged in a candle ritual dedicated to charging the bag. you will not see anything fake or unnatural in these! personal instructions on care and use are also included. Mojo bags will be $10.00 each and jars will be $13.00 each.




5: Hand poured and ritually charged candles, these are usually medium to large candles, made with woven cotton linen wicks and strongly colored wax, they are easier to pour and inscribe with spells, and come in all colors and are either plain or inscribed with your requested intention and your personal information upon request. I can add infusions of oil and herbs to the candles upon request. All candles are $5.00 each.




6: I am undecided yet on spell kits, these require a lot of ingredients and supplies and are occasionally expensive to make and ship out, I may offer these at a later time if potential customers display a interest or if someone requests one. we are talking up to $30.00 worth of supplies and  materials and then there is the cost of shipping. if anyone would like to have one made we can discuss the price and etc privately.




7: Fabric dolls and poppets made for specific spell work. Money, Love, Reversal, Banishment, Protection, any need and usage requested, all colors, and male or female or plain. Including personal spell cast on them, they are stuffed with ritual ingredients and materials, and provided with a bottle of ritual oil or powder and written instructions for further use. Spells and rituals for these are done per customer specification as these require a bit of personal information in order to be done properly. Dolls will be $10.00 each.   




8: More products and services will be added depending on customer desires and requests!!   





Now as of yet this is a dream and idea of mine..I am looking into options of how to set this up and get it running (amazon vendor site?) and most likely I will be running this business from my home and through my email and doing personal phone, email, and priority service mail orders and shipping the orders from my home address until I can afford a shop space and etc. I also need a bit of funding to get this off the ground as some of these supplies for the handmade products and materials gets a bit pricey. occasionally I will have to order ingredients and supplies from other vendors and suppliers and sometimes this can get a bit steep financially. I only know of a few personal favorite places of mine that let me have my wares for a decent price!





I have a lot of pictures of the work I have done located here on my other google site page.. Some of the work I have done.  this is a old page and I am currently working on improving it but the pictures are from several of the things I have worked on in the past and continue to work on now.
