The concept came about from my need to have practical ritual items.  I couldn't find any store that could provide the proper tools I required for my practice.  My spouse encouraged me to develop a deep rooted passion for creating with wood. I started with furniture, then moved on to creating my own ritual tools.  My goal is to offer other practitioners a full line of products and supplies all in one location.  Our store is based on the need to provide individuals with tools and supplies to enable the practice of any spiritual pursuit, be it Pagan, Wiccan practitioner, Occultist etc...  Our store is meant to be a source of practicality, with full access to herbs, oils, athames, altars, robes, chalices, divination tools, practical items that aid in the creation and the sustaining of a new age lifestyle.

Vision Statement: To be the best New Age/Spiritual/Occult product supplier in Ottawa.

About Raven 

How did I become a twice-initiated Witch?    

       I haven't always been a spiritual person. This journey of mine started in 1999 after the death of my father, when I came to the realization that the person I was - was not who I wanted to be. 

My Christian upbringing was clashing with my instincts as I was going through my grieving period.  I needed to ground myself and the answers I needed from the traditional sources were not filling the void. So I inadvertently began my quest. I started researching and reading books about philosophy and mythology, discussing with others about faith and spirituality. I wanted to know why world history and social conditioning was contradictory to what I felt inside, so I began seeking  the truth, and the facts.

The ancient Greek aphorism "Know Thyself" became my quest. After much research and soul searching, I discovered the obvious...I was meant to be Pagan and practice Witchcraft/Shamanism. My searching brought me to different crossroads where I would question if my decision was the right one. I was looking for any signs that would justify and explain the choice I had made. Being adopted, I started doing extensive research which proved that my biological father was Irish and my maternal Grandfather was Native Indian. This solidified my connections with Celtic and Native traditions. For me, this explained why I was drawn to old world Witchcraft and Shamanism....It was in my blood! It became my chosen lifepath. I defined myself as a traditional Hedge Witch a.k.a...A sole practioner. 

At this point, I was searching for a spirit name. 

One day, just as I was thinking about it, I heard a noise outside my back door.  I noticed a baby raven that had fallen on my doorstep, probably trying to take flight, but did'nt succeed.  I went to it and it came to me trustingly. I brought it inside and called the Wildlife Bird Sanctuary to see what I should do. They told me to place it back outside, and its parents would eventually come.

As soon as I put him outside the parents did come. They watched over him, cawing as if to encourage flight. They were perched in two trees on opposite sides of the baby. One would stay behind to guard, while the other would get him food. 

After 20 minutes or so... the baby raven took flight.

Then it came to me; my spirit name would be Raven.

My spiritual journey from that day forth has taken flight just like the raven did ,and has been soaring ever since.
