Medusa Gothic

Autumn officially joins us this Sunday, which is Mabon, or the autumnal equinox. How do you prefer to celebrate the changing seasons? If you’re looking for a simple way to honor the sabbat, we offer ritual kits in the garden aimed at just that.

If you’re in need of some scary reads for spooky season, then we have many an option for your consideration. A favorite among our community is the works of Junji Ito, a manga artist specializing in chilling gore and haunting stories. Stop by to browse our full selection of his works, and other spooky stories for the months ahead.

My cousin got married on Friday the 13th. The ceremony was at Lory State Park, hence the gorgeous backdrop to this photo. I had a great time and felt very comfortable and confident in the outfit I put together, which ended up being mostly from Medusa. I always feel better when I'm confident in what I'm wearing, especially at big events like this. I'm glad I was able to put an outfit together that achieved that, and I'll certainly wear these pieces in other contexts. Most of it wasn't bought specifically for this either. I'm glad it came together well, and am super happy for my cousin and his wife. The whole experience was amazing.

Superstitions abound about Fridays such as this one, but how could a black cat ever bring bad luck? If you ask us, these adorable felines bring only joy.

The garden’s selection of wet specimens has thinned quite a bit. If your interested in either of these lovely little guys, I highly recommend you take them home soon.

Looking for something a little more interesting than a hair tie? A hair stick can be a just as effective method of securing one’s hair, while adding a touch of extra elegance.

I’ve shown you many of our necklace options over the last few weeks, but I mustn’t forget to include our choker selection, as what look is truly complete without one. Our collection includes a variety of choker styles. From large collars, elegant lace, and simple ribbon pieces, there’s something for whatever your aesthetic needs.

🍁 Mabon and the Autumnal Equinox will be here before we know it! Take some time for self care and the transition into colder weather and seasonal fun! Snuggle yourself up, do a reading just for you, and remember not to freak if you see the Tower 😖 Trees shed leaves, and we shed the parts of ourselves and our lives that don't serve us anymore 🧡🖤🐍

The garden has seen a nice amount of growth this month. Be sure to stop in soon to see all we have have to offer.

Virgo season is upon us. We at the garden hope you all enjoy the pragmatic energy this time brings, and that those celebrating a Virgo have a lovely time doing so.

Rings are such a small accessory but can really make an impact on one’s attire for the day. Luckily, we have a nice selection of options available in the garden, so do come try some on should you have need.

I recently had a friend reach out and ask if I could do some spellwork for them, that ritual is the one in the photo. I personally love casting for friends, at least when it feels productive to the situation. I like being able to support someone in this way, with the unique piece of mind that casting a spell for a loved one can provide. It's not always the right answer and very rarely does it solve the problem, but it can give someone a boost and push in the right direction to make changes for themself. Not everyone chooses to cast for others, it's a personal decision that isn't right for everyone, but I find that it can be a nice way for me to help my friends when it comes up.

Our collection of enamel pins and similar accessories got a recent refresh. Be sure to drop in to the garden at your earliest convenience to take a look.

Candle magic can be as simple as it is powerful. A few words of power spoken to the flame of an appropriately colored candle can make for a wonderful little ritual. As with all spellcraft, the power comes from your intention. If you’re looking for a little help focusing a candle to an intention, we carry beautiful ritual candles from .forest.and.fae specifically tailored to a variety of intentions to aid your work. Simply light one to invite that magic into your home with the lovely scent, or use them as part of a larger ritual.
