Wednesday, January 31, 2007 Big ol' announcement! So many changes! As some of you may already know, our last storefront was shared with our good friends Rosemary's Billygoat Odditorium. Both parties decided to sell our wares via the Internet instead of having a physical store. All of us had so much fun at the last locale and thank all of you who came out to our art & music shows as well as the old store location in NoHo with the rituals, classes, and various gatherings. We'll definitely miss it! Another change is that on this site, we will presently offer our Black Broom manufactured statuary only. And later as time allows, we'll add other type items. We've been branching out in many directions with different product lines and are very excited about the new projects coming our way. Here are a few links in case you're curious: www.myspace.com/borneobobshrunkenheads www.amybrownsignatureseries.com www.silverstatecollectibles.com - Coming soon, but for now... www.myspace.com/silverstatecollectibles Honestly, it's just really hard for us to keep up. But not to worry, listed below are some excellent sources for all of your occult supply needs: Herb Products I can't tout this one enough! They have herbs, oils, supplies to make your own soaps, bubble baths, lotions, EVERYTHING! My mom has been going there ever since I can remember! They are very reasonably priced, located in North Hollywood, and you can order by phone, fax or online. Indio Products What can I say?! They really do have it all. This place is huge. Also based in L.A, they offer candles, books, talismans, roots, bottles, cauldrons, etc. The candle selection is the best I've seen; aisles and aisles! Great prices as well. To digress... they have an awesome golden Chango 7-day candle which is perfect for prosperity/money-drawing when used with 4 anointed almonds placed in it for each of the directions... and don't forget the Ginger oil to speed it along and give it some major energy! Twilight Alchemy Lab They offer magickal oil blends as well as conjure bags. Each oil is hand-blended, has been ritually consecrated, is alchemically precise, and has been thoroughly tested for accuracy and efficiency. I highly recommend them! Curio Curio has a diverse and constantly evolving stock. Lots of cool items including non-commercialized pagan supplies, natural incenses, hand mixed whole teas, jewelry, and artwork. They are based in Richmond, VA. Panpipes Magickal Marketplace Serving the L.A. area, Panpipes is located in Hollywood and is the nation's oldest occult store. We've had the pleasure of knowing a few of their crew over its many years. Willow's Crystal Cauldron If you're based in the Pomona/Inland Empire area, you might want to check them out. I've heard many good things about them. Lots of classes and a vast product line. These are just a few. Also, we have decided to close our Yahoo forum in the next few days since we are too busy to dedicate enough time to it. However, we are all over Myspace! It just seems to be a better fit for us. So if you'd like, we welcome you to be our Myspace friend. Any news/announcements will be posted in the blog area or by bulletin. All of us thank you so much for your posts, support, friendship, interest, everything! May this new year bring you numerous gifts, happiness, and the best of luck! Thank you!!
