Samhain Special: Discount on Custom Spells
It’s been a busy month. I just dropped down in New Orleans. The city burns with magic. This is where the enchanted atelier will be at least till spring. Then the road calls again. But for now the chanting will resume. This week is intense. I’m unpacking art supplies from my travels and attending a lot [...]
Incinerated and Dispelled
Midnight came and the fire burned high. One by one the smoke washed over them, the flames leapt up. Paint, paper, hours of chanting and ceremony: it vanished in the light. Yesterday, two lovely people rushed to buy two lovely scrolls, the Conjuration of Lugh and the Scroll of Escape. These pieces are on their [...]
Burning Magic Scrolls
The time has come. Tonight at midnight I’ll spread the coals in the stove. Feed them my magic scrolls one by one. The spirits will be delighted. If you want to rescue a scroll from this fate you have 16 hours to do it. It’s the last day of the 101 sale, so you’ll get [...]
Magic Spell Scrolls and the $101 Sale
I took my magic scrolls off the market. It was when I started to travel. I can’t carry them with me [and have no assistant back at the atelier], so the logistics would have been too much. There were some disappointed folks, but I promised that whenever I got back I’d have a sale to [...]
altmagic rebooted: spell cards, how-to, and telling it like it be
There hasn’t been much activity here since July 1, and that’s no coincidence. July 4 I started extensive travels that will continue for the next two years or more. I’ve been busy. But frankly, that’s not the only reason the atelier was quiet. I knew I wanted to take altmagic in a new direction, but [...]
Burn Sale
This update is overdue, but there are big changes afoot at altmagic—including all new kinds of artwork on the way. Right now I’m announcing a Burn Sale for the existing scrolls. My life is about to change significantly, as I will be traveling nonstop for the next few years. My goal is to meet the [...]
Guess What I Inherited
In this case “inherited” may be the wrong word, but these fine pieces of paper came my way: These were actually handmade by my sister Zangmo. She has a degree in sculpture and back in her university days she took a papermaking class. As a special project she made a variety of distressed papers treated [...]
Conjuration of Brighid – Available at Last
Some time ago I showed an image of a ceremonial conjuration scroll for Brighid. Savvy regulars may have noticed that when the first batch of scrolls went live, Brighid wasn’t among them. So what happened? I held the Brighid scroll for some time. I’ll admit, something bugged me – something was off. She had turned out [...]
More Scrolls to Peep
Sunday I unveiled the gallery of scrolls for sale at long last – and it was a little light. Several scrolls sold due to private requests before they even made it to the website, but I wanted them to be available for people to see anyway. I give you: Success in Business:/ a custom order [...]
Magic Scrolls Now Available
Exciting news:/ Magic scrolls are finally available. After two weeks of grappling with code on some pretty byzantine plugins, the scrolls went live late last night. It took the enthusiasm of readers and friends, many long trips around Mexico City getting ingredients, and a crash course in CSS but I’m proud to present you with [...]
