Custom Enchanted Art: Refuge
One of the best part of being a magician is the chance to help people realize their dreams. I recently completed the piece above, called “Refuge.” The client initially wrote to me: My husband and I are looking for a home to buy. We live outside of the DC area, and as you can imagine [...]
The Evolution of Spell Cards
My early spell cards were plain. Quick brush strokes on manila paper. I included them as free presents along with orders of magic scrolls. While the artistry was simple, the enchantments were strong. It felt good to give them away. These were all for protection. I loved making them. They just feel right in the hand. [...]
How To Make Spell Cards
It feels good, putting so much power in such a little item. Cards are special. It’s no coincidence that tarot became the predominant system of Western fortunetelling (or that Pokémon took off). I only make something if it can be high quality. The original plan was to get some card stock and cut it to shape. [...]
The Escape Spell
Have you ever just wanted a way out? This is a spell I always knew I would make. I have a feeling there’s s someone out there who’s just waiting for it… maybe a woman in an unhappy relationship. Maybe someone trapped in a dead end career. They’d like to jump to a better situation, [...]
Sacred Land Scroll Unveiled
I finally got a chance to use the distressed paper that I recently added to my collection. A client requested a custom scroll. She and her husband are seeking a piece of land that will be just right for them. They want it to be a place they can spend time with their family, connect to [...]
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 [...]
Lookin’ Dapper
There are four scrolls left from the first batch, and I decided they needed a makeover. Or at least new photos. All the original scroll images are now replaced with photos taken in better light, and now they show the scrolls mounted on their handmade wooden scroll rods. Not too shabby, scrolls. Check out the new [...]
Finding a Carpenter in Mexico City
For years I wanted to create magic scrolls. They speak to something deep within the soul. To unfurl a parchment and feel the magic radiating out: an image straight from our dreams. There were many reasons why I didn’t start. I didn’t have the time, it’d been so long since I studied art, what if [...]

Within the next few days, Lot 1 of my magic scrolls will be complete and ready to ship. There are a total of eight scrolls in the first lot. Two of them have been sold already, and six will be available for purchase shortly. Those available for purchase are: + True Love × 2 + [...]
Pictures from the Atelier – Magic Scrolls
Tonight, a sneak preview of the magic scrolls: I had projected that the first lot of scrolls would be ready by February 14. It’s going to be a little longer – getting all the materials here in Mexico has been tough! But we’re on track now… lots of late nights with red wine and potions lie [...]
