These incense sticks are handcrafted and not mass produced, and are scented with the Witch blends that I personally feel are 'signature' to my energies and creations.Whilst incense sticks are available worldwide, I wanted to bring that Starry uniqueness to the product; infusing them with essential oils and energy that bring the magick and power to these incense sticks.

Baba Yaga's recipe for relationships
This Full moon we need:
A dash of promiscuous promise
The bare bones of what did not work, cleaned up,
A spicy tongue, not split in two (that's cheap)
A moss bed, straight from the forest
Antlers, proud, and sovereign,
Bird song straight off the vine
Clever fox fur, cunning and wise,
Eight leafed clovers, doubly lucky
Soil, dark and true
Honey, swished in the mouth with liquor,
A willing vessel,
More mud, for good measure,
Strong ivy binds, to resist all weathers
An open heart, communicative,
And all the powers of the Underworld.
Go to work, Spirits.

Baba Yaga ★ Wood Witch has been created to honour the evocative dark Witch Baba Yaga from Slavic Mythology, and to delve deeper than the appearance of her legend.

The legends of Baba Yaga present her as a ferocious figure; a hideous hag of tremendous power, to be found deep in the Russian Forest, in a wooden hut atop chicken legs, surrounded by a fence of human bones.

Baba Yaga could help you or eat you for dinner, depending on her mood and how well you performed her tasks.

As always, Crone energies are fascinating as we unpick the binding that declares older powerful women hideous and dangerous, doubly so in the cases of Witches in the woods, with the ability to speak to and command the spirit realm.

Baba Yaga had unseen forces that would carry out her will, ability to control all of the elements and commanded the three horsemen: My Bright Dawn, my Red Sun and my Dark Midnight' because they control daybreak, sunrise, and nightfall.

As a liminal creature with so much power, perhaps it is inevitable that her nature, like other magical beings that are one with the Earth, is showcased as being fickle. Baba Yaga actually appears to act as a psychopomp not only through communing with spirits, but also by setting out challenges that determine whether or not a person will live.

The idea that consumption moved an individual to the Underworld so that their soul could be reborn is not unusual, and is found in death tales across the world.

Baba also facilitates rebirth, as is particularly evident in her story concerning Vasilisa the beautiful, who certainly would have died at the hands of her cruel step-family (if, perhaps, she had not already.)

It is my belief that these stories may have involved journeying to the Underworld by souls who had either suffered incarnation death, or were close to it, and Baba as an Liminal creature who wielded the power of life and death, tested these souls to determine if they should be reborn, or if their life-tale was not yet told.
 
The consumption of an unworthy soul by a devourer makes sense when cross-examined with other soul judgment tales from history, and Baba certainly seems to have a perchant for mistreated women.
 
The visualisation in meditation of Baba Yaga presented itself within her hut, surrounded by wooden beams, drying wild herbs, a table of hand crafted foods, desserts and spiced beverages.
"All the worlds wisdom, and all of its woes, lay here before you, what remains now, is choice..." - Baba Yaga in meditation.
 
The energy of Baba Yaga connects you to the wildest parts of yourself, beyond life and death, and speaks to you of yourself. It is a perfect companion for shadow work, for working through cosmic ties, karmic issues, and difficult personal choices.
It is to honour the beauty beyond what is seen with the eye, and honour the wild women in our ancestry who have been discredited as hideous because they were powerful.

★ Brandy in Witchcraft - added for the element of "cooking in the forest" as well as a libation to the spirits,  brandy is associated with fire and the sun. 
Brandy is known for its warmth. As a drink related to the sun it can be used to drive out illnesses and unwanted psychic attacks. Brandy is also a drink for lovers. - atthecrossroadsofnight
 
★ Sugar in Witchcraft - most frequently used in spells to sweeten or improve circumstances or peoples' moods, it can also be used for abundance, love rites, intuition and emotional comfort.
 
★ Tobacco in Witchcraft - Originally a sacred herb used for purification and in rituals to both see the spirits of the dead as well as honouring the ancestors.
 
★ Ginger in Witchcraft - can assist you in feeling more alive, connecting you to life force and courage, it also soothes stress and anxiety helping a space and aura to feel calmer and easier to relax in so that stress vibrations aren’t adding to a lack of protection.
