With the relaunch and revamping of our shop, various different "bundles" have been added to our stock for various workings - and new variants of our house oils have been added to our shop.
While we were revamping, we asked ourself - what is Chaotic Witch Aunt? How can our products better reflect our own practice, our folk magic, and the pillars of folk magic we follow? We began by rooting into a few things - folk magic as practical. Folk magic as accessible. Folk magic as rooted into spirit-relationships, place, and people.
Chaotic Witch Aunt products and oils are more than just tools for your practice - they are living spirits, awakened, cultivated with various herbal ancestors, minerals, animal allies, petitions and prayers. Each individual oil contains the essence of the mother spirit, continuously tended to and cared for since their creation. So we sat with their spirits. We consulted with friends. We leaned into our relationships with the oils itself.
NAVIGATING SIZES & CUSTOMIZATION
Rather than only offering one standard size, we now offer two sizes and an option for customization:
Half Ounce/.5oz - Our smallest size of available oils with a hand-written label. Half ounce sizes are perfect to meet the spirit of the oil and experiment with how it works with you, cultivating a relationship, and trying out a new ally for you within your practice, or for travel sizes if you would like to take your CWA spelled oils on the go. For our budgeting practitioners and those who have less space to carry a full ounce with them.
Full Ounce/1oz - Our standard size of oil with a dedicated, printed label. Wholesale partners of Chaotic Witch Aunt stock these sizes (become a wholesale partner by emailing us at chaoticwitchaunttarot@gmail.com) and they work best for those who know which oils and spirits they like to work with.
Full Ounce + Customization - Our standard size of oil, plus a prayer/petition to the spirit of the oil or the spirits involved in its creation on behalf of the customer. This includes a written paper petition immersed in the oil, which can be a petition for a particular goal, a prayer to the spirits involved in the oil by the hands of the maker on behalf of the customer. This option can also increase efficacy of the oils for you, as the wearer, or cultivate more potency in the spirit of the oil to reach your goal.
Each of these options provides a variety of ways to interact with our house line of oils, including ways in which long-term customers can continue to learn more and connect with the spirit of the oils in their own practice.
WHAT ARE HOUSE BUNDLES?
House bundles are a collection of items put together for those interested in having multiple items and doing workings around a particular goal. They are catered around intention, including a dressed candle, one to two oils that match the intention, and extra items to assist you in furthering the candle magic and intention of the house bundles.
House bundles are rooted into folk practice - waking up the spirit of each item, focusing in on the simple magic, and cultivating a full working that can be done by the customer to help bring in the energy that's needed.
House bundles focus on each of the oils in our house line that assist in protection, spirit communication, reversing/unbinding, and bringing in prosperity and luck. They cater around Frankie's own practice that often involved a dressed candle, one of their oils, and an extra item to help prolong the working. Each candle, oil, and item is prayed over and asked for assistance in the area needed for the bundle, with blessings and prayers poured into not just the spirit of the candle, but each herb in the dressing, the vessel that carries the oil, and the spirit of the working itself.
For those who don't want to commit to a full bundle, we offer the oil customization option to enhance the potency of the oil and the petition of the wearer to help bring your goals and intentions forward.
OUR HOUSE BUNDLES
Protection from Mal'occhio & Reversal
The first of our house bundles we cultivated are rooted into both Italian-American folk practice and our practice of folk witchcraft - focusing in on protection from mal'occhio (evil eye), and reversing harm that is sent our way.
Protection from Mal'occhio Bundles focus in on the spirit of a black candle - dressed with some of our favorite allies for protection from the evil eye and wrapped with a cornicello. This bundle focuses on everyday protection from the evil eye, a half ounce Panacea oil and half ounce Curse Breaker oil, and four iron nails.
Chaotic Witch Aunt recommends:
-
Utilizing the black candle as a daily protection ritual, placing it on your working altar and introducing it to your spirits, as well as customizing with your name, sigils within your practice, and more.
-
Wearing each oil daily, either on pulse points, in lotion, or in the shape of a cross on the back of the neck.
-
Using the iron nails around the black candle, heads facing inwards, and then placing in the four corners of the home to continue the working and protect the space from evil.
These bundles are catered specifically towards protection from the evil eye from the cultural perspective of Italian-American folk magic - but evil eye is present in many cultures, and like all of products, the usage of this bundle is open to all despite the background of the practitioner who created it.
For those who feel like their protection has failed or wish for more of a spicier protection method, our reversal bundles allow the practitioner the ability to reverse and return harm to sender. Reversal bundles come with a fixed dual-color candle, a half ounce Curse Breaker oil and a half ounce Unbinding oil, and a circular mirror. These bundles are cultivated for those who want a bit more oomph in returning negativity, and are inspired by our own workings and writings on return to sender and reversal magic. This bundle incorporates the spirit of reversal prayers as well as two of our favorite oils for removing malediction.
Chaotic Witch Aunt Recommends:
-
Anointing the mirror provided with the oils, and any herbs on hand you associate with reversal, or writing a symbol associated with reversal on the mirror.
-
Customizing the dual-colored candle with your name and any sigils that you associate with reversal, then placing it on top of the mirror.
-
Wearing each oil daily for the duration of the working, and continuing onwards to assist with protection from negativity.
Crepi! and Abundance Bundles
While protection and reversal are always where our heart is, we know the needs of the people don't just include this - we often work with bringing in stability, abundance, and luck especially in times of stress or instability. I was taught to work luck and bringing in luck before any and all money drawing and abundance work, and the Crepi! Bundle does this well -
Inspired by the "Bocca al Lupo" oil, this house bundle is for bringing in luck. Called "Crepi!" as it is the response to the saying bocca al lupo, this bundle contains a dressed green candle, half ounce Apri la Via oil, and half ounce Bocca al Lupo oil, plus a horseshoe.
Chaotic Witch Aunt recommends:
-
Writing your petition for luck or what you wish to be lucky in on your green candle.
-
Anointing the Apri la Via and Bocca al Lupo oils daily while the candle burns down
-
Anointing your horseshoe with the oils, and placing it face up or around the space of the candle, then placing near the front of your home.
After we draw in luck, we want to draw in abundance - which is where our Abbondanza house kit comes in. This is also a fixed green candle, although dressed differently than our Crepi! Bundle, with a 1oz Abbondanza oil and three kings salt. This house bundle and our Crepi! bundle work well together - because we often have to bring in luck before bringing in abundance.
Chaotic Witch Aunt recommends:
-
Burning the Abbondanza candle after the Crepi! candle, and incorporating the horsehoe used in the previous bundle if wanted.
-
Similar to the Crepi! Candle, write what you need abundance in on the candle or place as a petition underneath the candle.
-
Wearing the Abbondanza oil daily
-
Placing Three Kings Salt underneath your doormat to bring in abundance, or in a bag near the front of your door. Alternatively, this salt can be placed in a bag to bring in wealth and carried on you.
Spirit Communing Bundle
The final house bundles before we discuss our improved veiling kits are both around spirit work - the Spirit Communing bundle (which can double as a bundle for Diviner's) and the Ancestral Magic bundle.
Spirit Communing includes a half ounce Commune oil, half ounce Panacea oil, and a fixed white candle to work with spirit conversations. As a bundle made for fellow diviners, this candle is dressed to protect and call in clearer communication with spirits.
Chaotic Witch Aunt recommends:
-
Writing the names of any spirits you wish to talk to (spirit guides, plant spirits, animal spirits) on the candle and adding a small amount of that spirit or something that represents them nearby or on top of the candle.
-
Anointing with Panacea on the back of the neck and Commune on the hands during divination or sitting with your spirits.
Ancestral Magic Bundle
For those who wish to commune with ancestors, this bundle can be used, but our Ancestral Magic bundles are created specifically for working with ancestors. The Ancestral Magic bundle contains not only a signed copy of Ancestral Magic, but both of our ancestral veneration oils in half ounce form, as well as another white candle, dressed differently from our Spirit Communing bundle. These bundles are slightly more expensive than our other house bundles, but perfect for those wanting to dive deeper into ancestral veneration and work.
Chaotic Witch Aunt Recommends:
-
Writing the names of your ancestors, or "to all ancestors, known and unknown", on the candle. Place on your ancestral altar with pictures of ancestors, ancestral plant allies, and more.
-
Wearing Oil of the Queer Ancestors and Oil of the Matriarchs throughout your day, or when you wish to call in ancestors and chat with them.
-
Reading through or utilizing the copy of Ancestral Magic in whatever way you wish!
Veiling Kits
Our original veiling kits were cultivated to assist those beginning their veiling path - and we've revisited these bundles to make them simpler and more accessible financially. A select amount of vintage veils will be included in veiling kits, including our Vittae: Veiling Spray, a charm bundle blessed for protection to be worn under or on the veil, and an herbal mix that is used often in our practice for protection.
Veiling kits are perfect for those who want to enhance their veiling practice, work more deeply with the spirits of the veils in the kits, implementing smoke cleansing, sprays, and more allies of protection into their day to day routine.
