It’s finally spooky season, magical folk!Though, up until a few days ago, it still felt like sweaty season around here. These are strange times, witches. Since my last newsletter, I have seen Practical Magic 2 twice in theaters! More viewings to come soon, I hope. I honestly loved it! It mostly followed the sequel novel by Alice Hoffman, The Book of Magic, with some variation, as is to be expected. It did not disappoint, and I especially loved the bewitching callbacks to the first movie. In other news, I have recently returned from a magical trip to Ireland! I had the good forture to visit bustling Dublin, the enchanting Wicklow Mountains, vibrant Galway, a few castles, and several ancient landmarks in The Burren, including the Cliffs of Moher. I even made a pilgrimage to Sinead O’Connor’s grave. And while I unfortunately got quite sick on this trip, which changed some of my plans, this serendipitous rearrangement actually brought me right to the Hill of Tara on the Equinox! The timing was wonderfully auspicious, as this neolithic site is an ancient ceremonial and burial ground, steeped in lore and mythology, and known for its fairies and other supernaturual beings. It was a privilege to celebrate the Equinox on such holy land. I am including a few photos from my trip below, though I have hundreds more, so perhaps I will post them to the Ravenscraft Jewelry Instagram page soon. Special announcement: all items listed in the Samhain/Halloween section as well as the Witch Wear section of my shop are on sale for the rest of this month! See details below. And it’s never to early to start shopping for the Winter holiday season, so keep your eyes peeled for some new designs coming soon. Meanwhile, get out into the crisp Autumn air and crunch some leaves with your witchy boots! Visit a pumpkin patch, cackle, drink some hot cider, and howl at the moon! Blessed Samhain and Happy Halloween! Stay magical, folks…
