This is so silly sorry but I was so happy to see that you were attending that one market in SD. I wasn't able to attend that one but I hope that you'll have another pop up soon!!

Oh, this is so sweet—not silly at all!!! Messages like this make me so happy!

I hope to be back in SD soon for another Market! If you’re interested in seeing us in person, you can follow our shop Instagram @shopjewitches!

Use Code 'birthday'

Jewitches began in 2020 as an Instagram account, but the very next year, we opened up the Shop. It was the culmination of something we had always wished existed: a space where you could find things catered specifically to Jewish magic because it felt like such a place didn’t exist in the way we, and so many others, were seeking it.

And now we're going into yet another incredible year as a space for people of all traditions and communities!

You can shop the birthday sale until the 28th using coupon code 'birthday'!

do you not ever get tired of pessimism? of hating hope? of being miserable? like yeah life is full of horrors and terrors. but it’s also full of strangers who hold the door open for for you. the color green. stained glass windows. bluegrass music. cats who butt their heads against your leg. dancing and laughing and crying.

none of that cures the agonies, but they are small acts of resistance to it. things may be shit, but life can still be good. and i know that because good things still exist. simple and small and full of hope.

Love that 4 of these are ours!

The “generation gap” is an important social tool for any repressive society. If the younger members of a community view the older members as contemptible or suspect or excess, they will never be able to join hands and examine the living memories of the community, nor ask the all-important question, “Why?” This gives rise to a historical amnesia that keeps us working to reinvent the wheel every time we have to go to the store for bread.

I was looking around on the site a second ago, and perhaps I'm just blind, but I couldn't see anywhere on the herbs/resins/etc. pages that tells you how much of each you get. Am I just not seeing it or do the pages not say?

We address it in our FAQ, as the new website format doesn’t allow for specification in the purchase button. But not to worry, all bulk herbs are sold per ounce!

The photos on the listings are approximately one ounce, as a guide for how much to expect from each!
