Central New Jersey Pagan Pride, Part IV

I meant to have this up yesterday, but school clothes shopping too a bit (and by a bit, I mean hours!) longer than I expected.  So instead of doing one long post today about all the vendors, I'm going to do a post here and there about some of the shops that I visited. Don't worry, they won't all be in a row (we'd all be broke checking out all their goodies, lol!), but I will sprinkle them into the next couple of weeks.

The first shop I want to tell you about is Wyked Wyks!  Run by the super-friendly, gregarious Marcela.  She had an amazing collection of candles displayed, from "Fiery wall of protection" to candles for Mabon, to the one that I got: "Writer's BlockBUSTER: Burn when you have just run out of ideas, need to cram for an exam or need to tap into your mental abilities!".  Seriously, who doesn't need that?  I need like a case of them, lol!  Very reasonably priced, these are the handmade spell candles to stock up on - I'm so going to grab a ton of these for Samhain gifts and stocking stuffers!

Also at her table were these great liquid smudges.  Several people in my group bought these, and good gosh, did they smell amazing!  Perfect for spraying if you can't deal with incense smoke, or are in a place where you can't use it (you share a house, wanna smudge your office at work - you get the idea).  We were actually spraying it on ourselves - totally refreshing on a sweaty warm summer day!

And there were other great things, like ritual bath salts, goat's milk soaps, and tiny, decorated besoms, that would be great on your altar, in your car or hanging on the wall.  Marcela is currently revamping the Wyked Wyks' Etsy shop, and it should be up and running soon.  Meanwhile, you can contact her via the FB fan page if you'd like to order or ask about products. This shop is very much worth a look (or two) at!

I can't wait til the shop opens up. I definitely need a bunch of those candles. I was just thinking I need to smudge my office, but wasn't sure how to do it without burning sage. Perfect!!
