Weather Vanes Fly Out

noreply@blogger.com (The Occult Art Company) — Fri, 13 Feb 2009 16:39:00 +0000

Who would have thought the witch weather vanes would be so popular!! We've recently had another batch delivered and have only one left. same is true of the witch wall plaques. And the museum isn't even open yet - all these sales have been online, some as far afield as the US and Switzerland. We are trying to get our manufacturer Ron to devise a flat pack version which will make shipping easier. He's still working on it & we'll let you know when he has cracked it. The Wheel of the Year posters are back in stock - they are also another popular item. The Horned God poster will be changed to match the Wheel versions we have sold out of the current style. We've had some suggestions for new prints which we will be doing in the next couple of weeks so keep an eye out for the new pics.

Back in Town

noreply@blogger.com (The Occult Art Company) — Fri, 16 Jan 2009 18:57:00 +0000

Well I'm back at the helm after a month away over the Yule & New Year holiday season. Thanks to Carole for looking after the show for me while I was away. The good news is that the witch weather vanes & metal wall plaques are back in stock, as are the glass knitting needles. I'll be sourcing new products for the site & the museum so keep an eye out for new items appearing soon.

Out of Stock Update

noreply@blogger.com (The Occult Art Company) — Thu, 11 Dec 2008 09:48:00 +0000

As we deal in mainly Museum of Witchcraft retail items, we are often out of stock of some products at this time of year. The museum is closed over winter so stock levels are lower now. Many of the products, like the weather vanes, are hand made so take some some time to get in. We have spoken to our supplier & he hopes to have some weather vanes & wall plaques to us in January. So apologies if your product is currently out of stock - we are hoping to have most levels back up to normal early in the New Year.

Happy Yule

noreply@blogger.com (The Occult Art Company) — Wed, 10 Dec 2008 10:49:00 +0000

The Occult Art Company would like to wish you all a happy Yulefest. As I will be taking a break, Carole from the museum will kindly be taking the helm & processing orders while I am away.

New Items

noreply@blogger.com (The Occult Art Company) — Tue, 28 Oct 2008 15:27:00 +0000

We've popped a few new products on the website for your purchasing pleasure. Some cute stocking filler type items like witch key rings & witch pencils have been a favourite in the museum this year.

It's sometimes difficult to find candles in the right colours for your spellcasting needs so we've added some packs of 12 small candles in either mixed or single colours.

And for the adventurous among you we have just introduced some beautiful quartz phallic altar pieces. We have been trying to find these for some time & have just managed to get hold of some (so to speak). Can be used for virility or fertilty magic.

New silver pentacle

noreply@blogger.com (The Occult Art Company) — Sun, 19 Oct 2008 15:30:00 +0000

We have added the fabulous new silver hazel pentacle to our store recently. It is based on the design from the Dutch Richel Collection which has become something of a logo for the museum. It has proved extremely popular so far & is exclusive to the museum & our web site. A pewter version is also available.

Some changes on postal charges

noreply@blogger.com (The Occult Art Company) — Sun, 19 Oct 2008 15:24:00 +0000

You may notice a slight change with some of the postage charges on some items. It is mainly where multiple identical items are being ordered. Single purchases will not be affected. We are looking into a better shipping calculation method particularly as we are now experiencing a much greater number of international orders.

Continuous Trading Over Winter

noreply@blogger.com (The Occult Art Company) — Thu, 16 Oct 2008 09:09:00 +0000

We've had several queries regarding whether we'll be trading over winter while the museum is closed. The answer is Yes. The musuem closes November 3rd this year & will reopen at Easter next year. Online orders will continue so feel free to use the site for Yule gifts for yourself & others.

New Products

noreply@blogger.com (The Occult Art Company) — Wed, 01 Oct 2008 15:17:00 +0000

We've had a few new additions to our product line recently. The silver hazel pentacle (£30.00) based on the Richel Collection twig style drawing is the most recent. It is being made for us in West Penwith, Cornwall by St Just Silver - a well established Cornish business. A pewter version is also available for £10.00. Our jute bags have been a hit as have the black cotton bags. The price of Doreen Valiente's Charge of the Goddess book has been increased to £10.00 as our supplier's price has increased. The Credit Crunch hits the witchy world too unfortunately.

Ever Greener

noreply@blogger.com (The Occult Art Company) — Mon, 11 Aug 2008 17:42:00 +0000

The museum has recently launched a new line of jute bags for the eco conscious green witch. They come in 4 gorge colours with the popular museum logo on the front. Here I am sporting the bags in front of the museum shrine. There is also a black cotton bag with white logo for the traditionalist.

New Article

noreply@blogger.com (The Occult Art Company) — Mon, 11 Aug 2008 12:01:00 +0000

A new article has been posted on the website. If you're interested in the magic of knitting with glass knitting needles log on to our article page & have a read. If anyone has an article they would like to submit for publication on the website please send them through to kg@theoccultartcompany.co.uk .

New Stuff

noreply@blogger.com (The Occult Art Company) — Mon, 23 Jun 2008 11:55:00 +0000

You'll notice we are putting more stock into the Museum of Witchcraft shop on the website. We've added horse shoes, ouija boards, museum incense, witch wall plaques and besoms. Also new to the site is a section for articles and events. If you have a piece you'd like to appear on the site or an event you'd like us to mention please email us at kg@theoccultartcompany.co.uk. Our first article comes from Joyce Froome who many of you may have met as you purchase tickets for entry to the museum. Joyce has a keen interest in the history of witchcraft & is forever researching unusual historical topics. Her 'Mother Goose' article originally appeared in the Friends of the Museum of Witchcraft newsletter. The image shown is on show in the museum. (Views expressed in the articles are the views of the author & do not necessarily reflect those of the site owners.)

Changes

noreply@blogger.com (The Occult Art Company) — Thu, 19 Jun 2008 17:14:00 +0000

You may notice the price has increased on the rowan crosses and witch bottles from £6.00 to £7.00. This is due to an increase in our supplier's price to us. I have decided to absorb the cost by reducing the shipping on these items so as you are not paying the extra. Aren't I nice?! Keep an eye on the site as we are adding new items in the next few days - the museum sells recycled glass chalices which will be appearing here by the weekend and the Richel hazel pentacle has been made as a pewter necklace exclusively for the museum. This will be appearing in the next few days as well.

Esoteric Conference & Occult Book Fair

noreply@blogger.com (The Occult Art Company) — Thu, 19 Jun 2008 16:21:00 +0000

This is a reminder for those interested that The Esoteric Conference & Occult Book Fair is on on Saturday 28 June 2008 in Ludlow Shropshire. This is always a popular event & has attracted many fabulous speakers in the past. This year is no exception: Ken Rees will speak on The Regency; Julia Philips on Madeline Montalban; Tracy Thursfield on Eliphas Levy & the French Occult revival; Robin Cousins on The Travels of John Dee; and Alan Richards on W.G.Gray. I believe there are just a few tickets remaining (£15.00 each).

New T shirts a Winner

noreply@blogger.com (The Occult Art Company) — Thu, 12 Jun 2008 14:17:00 +0000

We're selling the new t shirt colours in the museum & online now & the lime green with purple pentacles have been the biggest hit so far. We are out of stock on these at the moment as they have been selling fast. We've ordered more so hope to have them back on the shelves ready for the high summer season. We'll let you know.

New T Shirt colours

noreply@blogger.com (The Occult Art Company) — Tue, 03 Jun 2008 11:10:00 +0000

The ever popular Museum of Witchcraft t shirt continues to be a big seller so we have tiptoed into the world of fashion and have introduced a couple of new colors. The black with white pentangle remains the most popular but we now have a rather gorge round neck charcoal with white or black pentagram and a v neck in lime green with white or purple pentagram. They are currently available in medium or large but if they prove popular we will extend the sizes. We have a few small red with black pentagram v neck left but once they are gone they are GONE.

Happy Easter

noreply@blogger.com (The Occult Art Company) — Sun, 23 Mar 2008 07:16:00 +0000

It's been a bit of a frantic start to the year so far. We had a great weekend at the Devon & Cornwall Pagan Federation meeting in Kilkhampton a couple of weekends ago, doing a roaring trade in t shirts & Museum of Witchcraft paraphernalia. Unfortunately I have been called to Australia due to a family illness &, as I make the glass knitting needle cases myself, we have run out due to high demand at the beginning of the season. I am hoping to call in a seamstress to make some in my absence. Apologies for this but we are trying to get the stock up & running again as soon as we can.

Harbour pics

noreply@blogger.com (The Occult Art Company) — Sun, 16 Dec 2007 18:32:00 +0000

As promised here are a few photos of the harbour taken yesterday. Note the biggest crane in the world (slight exaggeration) readying itself for the replacement of the bridge. The river is being widened & lowered along the area outside 'Things' store. The Gateway building (aka the new toilet block), which is located at the entrance to the car park, is on track to be finished in mid January apparently.

Some items out of stock

noreply@blogger.com (The Occult Art Company) — Mon, 05 Nov 2007 13:37:00 +0000

As the Museum of Witchcraft is now closed for winter, some of the items for sale are currently out of stock. It is mainly some t-shirt sizes and the witch bottles.

They will be reintroduced early next year. We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause.

Posters available in new format

noreply@blogger.com (The Occult Art Company) — Wed, 17 Oct 2007 15:19:00 +0000

Wheel of the Year posters are now available in the new A3 format. The witch has been changed also. The Horned God and Serpent are still available in the original format until next year.I will upload a photo as soon as blogger.com fixes its piccy upload problem.

Seasonal cards now available

noreply@blogger.com (The Occult Art Company) — Sun, 14 Oct 2007 16:51:00 +0000

We have just added the four popular greetings cards from The Museum of Witchcraft to the website. We thought Samhain would be a great time to launch these on the site as the Samhain witch is the most popular of all the cards (see right). This is the start of a whole new range we are putting together, mainly using images from the Richel Collection, which we are currently supplying as high quality prints. Keep an eye out for the new range which will be coming soon

New Posters

noreply@blogger.com (The Occult Art Company) — Sat, 15 Sep 2007 14:53:00 +0000

We've just had some new posters of The Wheel of the Year & The Witch printed. The prices will be coming down. Unfortunately my webmeister is out of the country until next Thursday so I can't change the pricing on the site. They will be £3.00 each so if you do want one before then go ahead & order & I will refund the difference on Paypal. If you can wait, please check the site again after next Thursday 20 Sept.

Change to Posters

noreply@blogger.com (The Occult Art Company) — Mon, 03 Sep 2007 15:47:00 +0000

You may note we are out of stock of the popular Wheel of the Year Poster. Panic not! We are reprinting the posters but in a slightly different format. They are currently printed on oversize A3 paper & we print them ourselves. They have become extremely popular & we can't keep up with demand with our small scale printing outlet so we are going to outsource the printing & do them in the larger A1 (more posteresque) size. Hopefully this should reduce costs. We're hoping to have the ready in a couple of weeks. Thanks to John Hooper for supplying us with the artwork for The Wheel of the Year. The other images come from the Richel Collection.

Society of Pagan Arts

noreply@blogger.com (The Occult Art Company) — Mon, 03 Sep 2007 15:41:00 +0000

Had a good trip up to Ludlow for the Society of Pagan Arts Fair on Saturday. There were some really top notch exhibitors there but unfortunately there were not a lot of customers coming through the doors on the day. That was a real shame - last year's event was much busier. We did OK though. I shared the stall with woodcarver Steve Patterson again. He did a roaring trade in large iron nails! Interesting!! Ludlow is such a lovely place. There was some rather disturbing post flood damage to some buildings near the bridge though - a bed hanging out of a half demolished house -very upsetting. Anyway, I'm not sure if it will be happening next year. Ian Steele, the organiser, may change the setup a bit. We shall see!

Society of Pagan Arts

noreply@blogger.com (The Occult Art Company) — Sat, 18 Aug 2007 16:50:00 +0000

Steve Patterson (woodcarver/magician) & I will be attending the Society of Pagan Arts exhibition in Ludlow on Sept 1st. We went to the first one last year & it was extremely pleasant. There was a good array of pagan art there - not a lot in the way of unicorns or dolphins (not that there's anything wrong with that - it's just nice to see something different). So if you're in the area do pop in & check it out. You're likely to come away with something fabulous!
