A top down view of a pair of earrings made of coyote atlas bones that sit on a black and white spotted fur background. The silver chain of the earrings loop through small holes on the bottom of the bone, holding it upside down. The earrings are surrounded by dried carnations and roses, a mink skull, a piece of orange citrine, and a faux human skull planter. On the bottom of the image in black text, it reads “Dead Hearts” above a black line and diamond.

Dead Hearts

Dead Hearts is a small jewelry business focusing on bone and crystal jewelry. All of our bones are sourced ethically, either found and processed by myself, or from trusted sources who gather the bones rather than hunt the animal. We also create and sell vintage and victorian inspired jewelry, taking inspiration from memento mori pieces.

DragonOak Workshops

DragonOak magical workshops (in person in Wales, UK) provide opportunities to enjoy weekend workshops with like minded people. These are informal sessions where you can learn at your own pace about subjects that are challenging as well as interesting. DragonOak also has speakers who can come and do workshops or talks about Craft topics. If you want to book Siany DragonOak or one of our other speakers please contact us. The Wales Occult Conference is also a chance to connect, in person. During this year’s conference, one of the hard questions is being asked; as pagans, what are our beliefs and practises around Death, Dying and working with Deities or spirits associated with the Underworld? Come along and join us in this exploration of one of the last great Mysteries.

Echo Zines

Echo Zines is a creative project by Nina Zina (she/they) that is based in Belgium. As Echo Zines, Nina produces zines, postcards, stickers, buttons, and spell bags (and she plays in the feminist witch punk band Lavender Witch!). The witch zines that Nina makes talk about herbal magic, amulets, self-love potions, mundane witchcraft, and personal reflections about skeptical witchery. Echo Zines’ stickers and buttons feature sigils for self-empowerment and for queer, anti-racist, and accessibility activism, and the postcards depict witches in various settings. Nina also sews and assembles spell bags with natural and repurposed ingredients to promote self-care and community care.

Kenning Creations and Divinations

Previous trauma therapist-turned tarot and rune reader, my readings tend to focus on our relationship with our selves. For me the cards or the runes are not used to tell you what will happen or who we are, but a mirror to see ourselves clearer, or to become curious about aspects of ourselves we haven't yet explored. Readings can be done "live" online or sent as sound files for you to listen to as many times as you wish, and I am happy to help shape whatever question or query you want to explore.

Suncat Trinkets

Trained as a scientist and journalist, I recently began my spiritual journey and an incredible outlet for that has been beadwork. SunCat Trinkets was created as a way to help myself and others connect with themselves and with their practice. Alongside a growing line of pre-made deity themed bracelets and prayer-bead style jewelry, I create Pride and decorative work. My real bread and butter though, is custom work. I've made bracelets for gods and goddesses, for elements and tarot cards, constellations, animals and loved ones. They can be subtle, for individuals still in the "broom closet," or as flamboyant as your heart desires, and if bracelets aren't for you, I am working on branching out into keychains, suncatchers, and altar decorations!
