A Witches Blog

We are Pat and Paul Barbary. We have, believe it or not (often we don't believe it ourselves), have some 90 years combined witchcraft and occult experience and shenanigans to share!

She is Latina, a Bruja, a wiccan witch queen who has hived MANY times through her Alexandrian lineage since her initiation back in the early 80s heyday of wicca!!

He is British, a ceremonial magician with a deep affection and infinity for the pre-wicca Traditional Witchcraft of Devon and Cornwall from whence his family originate, a pagan blacksmith, wandsmith, herbalist and ritual incense blender!

Together they have ran storied covens, OTO bodies, traveled the world, had successful corporate careers, spawned, and since 2016.... Created one of the most popular, iconic and specialized witchcraft and pagan stores in the Midwest!

This is our witches blog! We will share adventures in Witchcraft Shop ownership! Coven leadership, practical magick, anecdotes, fevered rantings, strange esoteric ramblings and more!

We don't claim to be know-it-alls! We will try not to gatekeep! We are though successful, opinionated and sometimes spicy! As a very infamous witch once said "Let success be thy proof"!!!! ,,, And we have demonstrably been successful in love, life and magick (which after all is all the same thing at the end of the day).

So pull up a chair, grab a cup of tea or a glass of wine, load a bowl of weed... And enjoy, or not, our ramblings and insights. We intend to publish an article a week!
