I remember Halloween.

My favourite cover to date... )

Just in time for your webmistress' favourite day of the year, the Sacred Well is pleased to now be carrying candles for the dead. No, really!

Day of the Dead candles!
November second is the traditional Day of the Dead, celebrated along with All Saints Day on the first and All Souls Day on the second. No matter what your religious affiliation, it's an excellent time to honour those who have passed over.

There's even a candle for Papa Gede....

Papa Gede, aka/associated also with Barom Samedi  or Baron Cimitière, is the Voudoun loa of death, sex, and resurrection. He and those of his family embody the creation and the conclusion of life. The Guédé are known for being crass party animals with a fondness for rum and tobacco. Death is, it seems, a horny prankster.

Not so bad, really.

Naturally, we've got the store all dressed up for the holiday...


If you dare come inside there's chocolate for those with a sweet tooth, and other treats for those with more expensive tastes. For example, along with our new candles we've also got in the full selection of Witches Brew oils!

The oils come in all the same scents as the Witches Brew candle: Witches Purse, Dragon's Blood, Evil Eye, Eye of Newt, Spellcaster, Amber Moon, and the original Witches Brew. (Your webmistress prefers this last one most of all.)

The holiday is almost upon us, so come on down and trick or treat.
