Introduce yourself!

Hey friends! Tell us a bit about yourself and what items you make. I'll start it off!

I am a single mom to a lovely daughter, blind dog and gimpy cat. I have always been interested in divination and started making woodburned talking boards (Ouija boards) many years ago. Then I began making pendulum boards (and now pendulums!!). This lead to developing my own divination tools - The Pocket Prognosticator, The Mistik Answer Bag and The Bowl of Destiny. None of these are listed in my shop just yet, but are big sellers at events!

OK, your turn!

Re: Introduce yourself!

Well it looks like I should have been here sooner
I'm a 3D computer artist turned wood worker I've always had a creative side but was never able to find an outlet. I started Lord Mock's Designs 4 years ago after my wife convinced me to get a laser engraver so she could etch the glass containers for her candles. I started playing with the machine and realized I could use my existing knowledge of art and computer design to create real world items. Through in my flair for fantasy and dark elements and ta-da Lord Mock's Designs

Re: Introduce yourself!

Born an artist inspired by nature, a former Dungeons & Dragons role player, big fan of fantasy works, I'm also a competent musician. Some 15 years ago I began making rune sets for gift items then word got around and with some persuasion from friends I began making more rune sets, wands, rune casting cloths, and other rune inspired works. Another recommendation from a good friend to these pages of Etsy and here I am, at home with sssooOOO many talented artisans.

Re: Introduce yourself!

I have been exploring and interested in all kinds of approaches to divination most of my life... Having had numerous pendulums over the years I finally had the idea of combining my passions for gemstones, color and texture to enhance pendulums for others. Although I sell some at shows, my primary focus for sharing pendulums is here in my Etsy store. I love the community of artists with similar interests in divination and all things "new age"...

Re: Introduce yourself!

Hello everyone. I'm new to selling (I hope) on etsy, though I've been coming here for years. I finally decided to start selling my spirit boards. I've been admiring some of the work of the other divination artist on Etsy and hope to someday do as well as they have been. I have other items I make and will be posting them soon. Hope to get to know some of the people here. Thank you for letting me join your group.

Re: Introduce yourself!

Hello, I'm Splendor Solis.
I'm an Italian tarot reader, pendulum reader and radionic-lover.
I've been drawn to the card readings when I was teen.
I use a deck given by my mother, who knows my passion for astrology and occultism.
This is an ancient Italian Oracle, the "Sibilla di Nostradamus" with 32 cards. I love this deck, it's positive and friendly and his energy is very powerful.
For passion I study psychology and this is very useful to put at ease the client (Jung is the best psycologist for me and for all who want to know symbols and magic).
My interests are not only concerned on tarots but also on feng- Shui, meditation, palm reading, crystal therapy and color therapy.
I'm not a witch, but only a person who love to communicate with the astral world and want to see outside the normal way. I continuing my education to understand more of myself and helping others to find the right way.

Blessings!!

Re: Introduce yourself!

Hi Guys,

My name is Jason, I am from Doncaster in the UK. I have been interested in divination for many years, particularly Talking Boards, and have recently started making them by hand along with my long-time business partner Mark.

We only have one product on Etsy currently as we are still perfecting some of our techniques, but we have a few other talking board designs in the pipeline, as well as a pendulum board and some more obscure divination boards such as compass and astrological boards for casting crystals which we're very excited about.

I am new to Etsy, so thanks for welcoming me into your group.

Re: Introduce yourself!

Hello, I'm new to selling on Etsy also. I have been collecting crystals for years and found a new passion for creating pendulums and pendulum boards. I haven't had much luck on selling them locally & on Etsy.

Re: Introduce yourself!

Hello! I'm new to actually using and making divination tools myself, though I have been familiar with many types over the years... just recently I've started using, making and selling rune sets:

https://www.etsy.com/listing/248943895/carved-and-painted-coyote-bone-rune-set

My day job is cooking and menu planning for an adult day program for people with disabilities, and it's an amazing place to work.

I'm a Lokean pagan and have been a practicing witch for nearly a decade, and my shop's wares reflect my own path.

Thanks for letting me join! Hi everyone! :D

Re: Introduce yourself!

Hi !!! I am Sarah.... By day I am a design engineer for an audio visual integration company, designing speaker layouts and projection systems etc... By night I am a musician and an artist. I play in two bands, a doom metal band and a dirty garage rock band.

I make many different types of original artwork but have found on ETSY my art geared towards Norse Mythology has really taken off. My ancestry, being a German/Norwegian, has led me to study Norse Mythology in depth and has led me to more Pagan beliefs. I tend to feel things that allow me to know what is going to happen before it does.. I've always kept that to myself, it's a little weird to say out loud. To be honest, i never really had an audience of people who may not think i am crazy for saying that. Any way - In my store I have been creating hand carved rune sets, rune casting boards, spirit boards, pendulum boards, an alter pieces. My store is a little wiped now, but I do currently have hand carved runes sets in shop and spirit boards in the making!

i am relatively new to ETSY, just reached my 90 day mark! Thank you for letting me in your group!!!

Thanks!

Sarah
