I received a large order of my supplies from a friend of mine and it has taken me a LOT longer than I originally thought it would. The problem is that the hand-made soaps, while FANTASTIC products, take much longer to make than the magical oils. First I have to melt the base, then blend the oils into the base, then pour the base into the molds and let it cool, then the next day I have to pop the soaps out of the molds and bag them up for delivery.
I only have so many molds, so I can make about 6 bars a day. This is far too slow. I need to purchase some more molds so that I can make these faster, or just stop offering them.
I'm also pondering the possibility of offering magical powders for sale. Powders are really traditional in hoodoo, and while many western magicians don't really know how to use them, they usually get very excited when I explain how they can be applied.
You can sprinkle them in someone's tracks to affect them. You can roll candles in them to add their effect to the spell. You can put a pinch of the powders inside of mojo bags for added power. You can use them in bottle spells to affect someone either positively or negatively. You can blow them in the direction of the person you seek to affect.
They are so very versatile and useful, if only more people knew how to use them.

These are essentially items that act as mini-spells housed in an object or a combination of objects, all of which are easily carried around. Much depends on what value, if any, the bearer associates with the object. All get their power from a combination of symbolic value attributed to the item(s), the faith, belief and energy provided by the User and Creator.
Typical components used in Amulets, Charms, Fetishes and Talismans are metals, stones, plants, fabric, candle wax, pins, fruit, coins, and anything else of symbolic value. These can be as simple as merely carrying around a coin, feather or piece of metal to creating something as elaborate as a Dream Catcher or taking more time to handcraft.
Often, depending on the tradition or the source, there are certain requirements or taboos when making such items; such as abstaining from food or sexual activity for a time or it has to be made on a certain day; this was/is done for the sake of purifying one's spirit or to help put them into the proper frame of mind for doing magick.
THE DIFFERENCES BETWEEN AMULETS, CHARMS, FETISHES AND TALISMANS ARE AS FOLLOWS:
* AN AMULET is typically thought of as being worn such as a necklace or ring.
* A CHARM is most often quickly spoken words or a quick gesture. Magical words, phrases, chants, incantations, inscriptions, and actions which can be used separately or in combination to make a charm. However, this does not hold true to the full definition of a charm. According to the dictionary, a charm is: "Something worn to ward off evil or ensure good luck. "Any formula or action supposed to have magical power."
* FETISHES are often thought to be small objects of a magical nature, often worn or displayed.
* A TALISMAN can be nearly anything that is thought to bring good luck or provide protection, but it is most often an object. Often, a talisman is worn on the body or kept in a pocket. Children will sometimes pocket a smooth stone that might serve as a talisman over time.
