Switch witch condiments

Cellar Door’s update: maybe Black No 1, or Once Bitten   Sock Dreams, no thank you.    Dammann Freres looks utterly delightful. Jardin Bleu, and Paul and Virginie are seriously tempting.    Paintbox sorbettos are always wonderful. And Dead Leaves on the Dirty Ground is calling me hard.    Haus of Gloi - some bubbling scrub could be lovely. Maybe in Persephone’s Descent or Spider Silk.    I have no clue about pastel Halloween things, but pastels really aren’t my thing, so probably not.    BPAL Dragon Con/Weenies. So far, I think the one that really piques my interest is Caput Mortuum Dragon.    Lawardrop - if you were to turn out to be my witch, some slippers sound utterly decadent. As would some arm warmers. I’m not sure about baskets, they sound lovely, but I just worry about having space to use them the way they would deserve.    Also I do have an Amazon wish list so I will dig it out and link it, along with my Etsy list that’s asked about further down.    I do not have a Halloween tree. Much as the idea appeals, I don’t really have space for one, sadly. I do love the idea of ornaments that I can hang other places though.    I love the idea of a hair fall, but I don’t honestly know if I would wear one.    Witchy supplies, no thank you.    I love the idea of a custom artwork, but living in a rental makes hanging things a little problematic, so I need to say no thank you.    1. I'm in Japan, anything specific you would want from here? Nothing specific, but a Japanese surprise could be fun.    2. I just got back from Mongolia and brought a bunch of small souvenirs, how do you feel about small things from random countries?  Small things from random countries sound fun too!   3. I make custom ita rosettes/cases (pics here to explain what I mean.  Is that something you might be interested in? If so, what type/colors/size/ etcetc No thank you   Snorg tees - Existing Solely out of spite, Ok I won’t be doing any of that but thank you, and The Horrors Persist But So Do I are awesome. I’m a black tee for everything wearer, and a women’s 3XL    Bloom Chic - there’s some really cute stuff there, but I struggle wearing things that aren’t natural fibre, so I will need to pass on them.      I like making little flower arrangements with fake flowers; would you be interested in a mini bouquet (think, something that would fit in a bud vase)? If so, any seasonal/color scheme requests? That would be lovely but I fear my cats would find anything like entirely too tempting.    * Feelings on candles/wax melts?  I have more candles than I have space for right now.    * Feelings on crocheted wall art/mandalas? Color scheme requests? It sounds lovely, but I’m living in a rental right now, so hanging things is not really possible. 
My Amazon Wishlist https://www.amazon.com.au/hz/wishlist/ls/234E0RFHVVYYQ?ref_=wl_share   My Etsy list https://www.etsy.com/au/people/maikastar?ref=hp_recently_favorited_sm&tab=items     I have a wonderful coffee roaster near me, wood-roasted, small batch, regular and decaf, all roast types. It's so good, I won't buy coffee anywhere else, and I only drink dark roast decaf. IF this sounds good, whats your coffee desire, and beans or grind size?  They are also a FULLY geeked out space with every video and arcade game known. so I would also send a sticker from them, so also include your favorite old 70's-80's cartoons or fandoms.   That sounds amazing! I don’t really drink decaf, but a good medium roast sounds blissful, as does something flavoured perhaps. Whole bean please!  And for a 70s-80s fandom, Dr Who all the way.

SW 2025 Answers

1.    Interested in anything from Cellar Door's Halloween update? Michigan Moonglow, Sanderson Spice, Spooky Season, and Zombie Repellant all sound like they could be nice!   2.    Anything from Sock Dreams catch your eye? (https://sockdreams.com) The asexual crew socks, under the stars crew, hitchhiker’s guide crew, dragons and wizards crew, spooky shit crew, year of the dragon crew, venus fly trap crew, plant killer crew, whale shark bamboo crew and capybara orange are all kind of my aesthetic   3.    I live in France, and we have some great tea here! Most folks know about Mariage Freres but may I suggest Damman Freres? Here's the link- they're still in summer mode, but I assure you, autumnal teas will grace their pages soon! (https://www.dammann.fr/en/)  I have quite a bit of tea >.> it’s a bit of a problem   4.    Do you see anything you need from Paintbox Soapworks Weenie Update?  New & Limited Edition - 2025 Weenie Collection - Page 1 - Paintbox Soapworks  Bit curious about Jack-of-the-Woods. Maybe the bath streusel or sugar scrub.   6.    Speaking of updates, anything from Haus of Gloi's Fall offerings speak to you? (https://www.hausofgloi.com/collections/fall-1)
Most of those are pretty foody, but maybe Violet Moon?   7.    Also, I know we have barely scratched the surface in knowing what the Lab will release for Weenies, but a wishlist couldn't hurt, so what'll it be?
My wishlist is VERY out of date and I apologize immensely. I’m a simple child really, though. Leather, amber, incense, saffron, dragonsblood, resins, paper, maybe some smoke. Anything that’s mostly in that range I will probably try as long as it doesn’t have apple or chocolate. Specifically for the weenies, probably In Night When Colors, Dark Macademia, Skeleton Flash and MAYBE Headless Hearseman attracted my attention.   8.    How do you feel about the pastel Halloween offerings that are out?
I’m not usually much into pastel, usually more jewel tones or cool colors   9.    I'm  one of those crafty sorts that make things.  I make things by up cycling sweaters, for example - mittens, slippers, armwarmers (both solid or striped from multiple fabrics ).  Could also make a tea cosy with a mat.  I make bowls, mats & vessels from rope that I wrap with pretty cloth.  So essentially, functional, useful fiberart.  What might you like?  Long striped armwarmers? A pair of slippers, decadently lined in cashmere?
I’m allergic to wool so I avoid fiberart in general so I’m not super aware of the options tbh…   10.  Do you have an amazon wishlist to be sure I don't  duplicate a book? Not currently, but I’ve been working on my StoryGraph! https://app.thestorygraph.com/profile/coltostallion   11.  Do you have a Halloween Tree?  Do you need ornaments?
I do not   12.  Do you have an Etsy wishlist?
Not currently, I used to be on there a lot but it’s gotten so full of dropship things that I stopped T_T   13.  As of this writing, Dragon Con Peach Pit scents have been revealed! Anything on your wishlist?
The peach scents didn’t interest me, but the Caput Mortuum Dragon, Melichrous Dragon, Puce Dragon, Glaucous Dragon, and Gamboge Dragon interested me.

  14.  I am a bit known for my extremely light-weight hand crafted hair falls (I typically make them out of a combination of yarns, batting, and bits of up cycled silks and lace). Would you like one (for a pony tail effect) or two (for a pigtail effect)? If so, name two or three colors and any allergies to fibers I should know about.
No thank you   15.  Do you have use for witchy supplies? Herbs, oils, crystals, etc. If so, what types and for what purpose(s)?
Not really, I’ve always kind of wanted to sage smudge things but idk why   16.  Would you be interested in custom artwork, such as a painting? If so, what mood, theme, colors, style, etc. would you be excited to see? If there's a dream, a dnd character, a favorite fairy tale, deity, etc. you'd love it to capture, spill those deets - including anything you wouldn't want (nudity, size restrictions, whatnot).
Physical maybe not, not a lot of space, digital my current boys are Dante and Yakumo from Nucarnival, Zack from FFVII, and Wen Ning from MDZS   17.  Snorg tees (http://snorgtees.com) has some hilarious and awesome new shirts. They are also reasonably priced. Please give me 3 of your fav designs and tee size/color if available for a color option. I’m a simple child who still loves snarky tees so… quite a few… top 3… hmmm. Maybe Don’t Panic, It’s not Hoarding if its Books and The Horrors Persist But So Do I? I assume I’m M or L   18.  BloomChic (http://bloomchic.com)has some pretty fun plus and smaller size halloween fashions. If you so desire, give me your top 3 favs with sizes!  Maybe the Laser Cut Halloween Halloween Contrast Lined Blouse, Pumpkin Embroidered Hem Solid T-Shirt, or Rayon Halloween Print Neck Tie-Up Blouse. They all seem stretchy so 10/M should be good? I’m right on the line for that size   19.  I like making little flower arrangements with fake flowers; would you be interested in a mini bouquet (think, something that would fit in a bud vase)? If so, any seasonal/color scheme requests?
No thank you   20.  Feelings on candles/wax melts?
Don’t really use them   21.  Feelings on crocheted wall art/mandalas? Color scheme requests?
I don’t have room on my walls   22. Australian Things
Timtams always welcome

23. Coffee
I don't drink coffee

24. Knits
Always open to socks

2025 My Answers to Switch Witch Questions!

Interested in anything from Cellar Door's Halloween update? Candles or Soap:  Black #1, Once Bitten, Spooky Season, Sanderson Spice, Lavender Pumpkin Also/Or (not Halloween):  Sex Machine, Hunter's Moon, Midnight Rider, Lavender Fields   Anything from Sock Dreams catch your eye? (https://sockdreams.com) I have huge feet (12 US women) and plus size calves (ice skating + horseback riding) so most socks really aren't my thing.  That being said, in the Plus Size section I like: Moon Phases crew and Just a Phase crew   I live in France, and we have some great tea here! Most folks know about Mariage Freres but may I suggest Damman Freres? Here's the link- they're still in summer mode, but I assure you, autumnal teas will grace their pages soon! (https://www.dammann.fr/en/)  Now we're talking!!!   I love loose leaf tea, mostly black but I do like a few tissanes (mostly ones with licorice root or perhaps hibiscus.)   I love rose, lavender, anise/fennel/licorice, vanilla, butterscotch, peach, honey, jasmine...    I do not like coffee in my tea, nor do I like rooibos, honeybush, mate, or puer eh.  Or chamomile.   If you could find me a tea that is black with apples and fennel, I would be so happy!   There was one from August tea called Dots and Loops with that mix and it was soooo good.  Now discontinued of course.     From Damman what catches my eye so far (and I also have a ton on my Amazon Beverage list from way back when we could use the universal wishlist tool to add things from other pages):   Black flavored: Pink (black tea & rose) Bourbon (black tea, vanilla, caramel) Nosy Bey (black tea, vanilla, peach) Licorice!!! (black tea, licorice) Caramel (black tea, caramel, chocolate) Vineyard Peach (black tea, peach) Violet (black tea, violet) Spice Flakes (black tea, orange, gingerbread) Christmas in Provence (black tea, honey, fig, strawberry)   Smokey Black: Smokey Lapsang Smokey Tarry Smokey Crocodile Fujisan Souchong Sakura Souchong Souchong Malt   Oolong: Milk Oolong Original (oolong, cream)   Herbal: Fennel Mint Mint Licorice   Cocoa: Cocoa Spices Cocoa Orange   Do you see anything you need from Paintbox Soapworks Weenie Update?   Fairytale Bath Struesel, The Grey Hound wax melts.   From "Season of the Witch":  Black Sun bath streusel   Speaking of updates, anything from Haus of Gloi's Fall offerings speak to you? scents:  Blood Orange Marshmallow, Ghost Puffs  mediums:  fall soy wax tarts, candles, refresher spray, sugar exfoliants
Also, I know we have barely scratched the surface in knowing what the Lab will release for Weenies, but a wishlist couldn't hurt, so what'll it be? Not weenies per se, but I would be interested in trying Snake Bouquet and Snake in the Grass.  Maybe Pumpkin Funnel Cake depending on how cakey and delicious it is.  For weenies, In Night when Colors all to Black are Cast!   I'm quite curious about Black Eyeliner, Plastic Rats, Gummi Fangs, Vintage Kitty Blow Molds, Devil Flash...   How do you feel about the pastel Halloween offerings that are out? I like black and jewel tones and dark colors.  No pastels please.   I'm  one of those crafty sorts that make things.  I make things by up cycling sweaters, for example - mittens, slippers, armwarmers (both solid or striped from multiple fabrics ).  Could also make a tea cosy with a mat.  I make bowls, mats & vessels from rope that I wrap with pretty cloth.  So essentially, functional, useful fiberart.  What might you like?  Long striped armwarmers? A pair of slippers, decadently lined in cashmere? I would love things like the tea cosy with mat, bowls, vessels, etc.   I am too warm 99.999999% of the time and wearables would be wasted on me.   do you have an amazon wishlist to be sure I don't  duplicate a book? Yes, it's in my signature in the circular swap help.   Do you have a Halloween Tree?  Do you need ornaments? Yes and yes and yes and yes and ... yes   Do you have an Etsy wishlist? Yes, also linked in circular swap help.   As of this writing, Dragon Con Peach Pit scents have been revealed! Anything on your wishlist? The Gamboge Dragon atmosphere spray sounds interesting as does the Cerise Dragon hair gloss.  Maybe Bastard-Amber dragon perfume oil.
I am a bit known for my extremely light-weight hand crafted hair falls (I typically make them out of a combination of yarns, batting, and bits of up cycled silks and lace). Would you like one (for a pony tail effect) or two (for a pigtail effect)? If so, name two or three colors and any allergies to fibers I should know about. I never go anywhere and I have a mostly shaved head so probably not.   Do you have use for witchy supplies? Herbs, oils, crystals, etc. If so, what types and for what purpose(s)? I love all kinds of witchy supplies but I don't have anything in mind right now.   Would you be interested in custom artwork, such as a painting? If so, what mood, theme, colors, style, etc. would you be excited to see? If there's a dream, a dnd character, a favorite fairy tale, deity, etc. you'd love it to capture, spill those deets - including anything you wouldn't want (nudity, size restrictions, whatnot). Yassss!   A painting or maybe a tattoo design?!?   I now have four bats on my left arm along with with a moon.   I would love more tattoos -- these ones are just flash from Friday the 13th specials.  I'd love a huge bat on my back whose wings wrap around me (there is some armor in Diablo IV that is similar to what I'd like, lol), an ankh, celtic or nordic inspired horses, hippocampus (fairy tale creature), dogs (blue pit bulls especially), ravens, bats.... I'm partial to black and white monochrome, blues/purples/blacks/greys, gothic, celtic, nordic, etc.     I'm in Japan, anything specific you would want from here? Delicious kit kats of course!   I don't know what else is available though.     I just got back from Mongolia and brought a bunch of small souvenirs, how do you feel about small things from random countries?  It really depends ..  I have so much clutter that I don't especially want knick knacks or things that sit on flat surfaces with no purpose.   I make custom ita rosettes/cases (pics here to explain what I mean https://tinyurl.com/mwtwmvfm. Is that something you might be interested in? If so, what type/colors/size/etc. etc. I'm sorry, these are not my style.  Gorgeous though!   Snorg tees (http://snorgtees.com) has some hilarious and awesome new shirts. They are also reasonably priced. Please give me 3 of your fav designs and tee size/color if available for a color option. Pretty much any of the Monty Python, Princess Bride, Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, Lydia Deetz, Don't Blink (Doctor Who), Firefly, Don't Torture Yourself (that's my job), Nightmare before Coffee, Haters Gonna Hate Pit, Krampus ones, some of the Stranger Things, etc.  Women's Signature, always black or grey, probably a 3xl.   BloomChic (http://bloomchic.com) has some pretty fun plus and smaller size halloween fashions. If you so desire, give me your top 3 favs with sizes!  I'm an 18/20 from Lane Bryant, so maybe from here too?   I like the skeletal rib invisible zipper romper (black) but maybe in a larger size - 3x?  The color block bats button down shirt, probably in the 2x.  Bat print stretchy textured zipper hoodie maybe in the 4x?  I like over size zip up hoodies.   I like making little flower arrangements with fake flowers; would you be interested in a mini bouquet (think, something that would fit in a bud vase)? If so, any seasonal/color scheme requests?   Feelings on candles/wax melts?   Feelings on crocheted wall art/mandalas? Color scheme requests?

Switch Witch 2025!

Amazon wishlist: here (NOTE: I am not sure if this shows you my wishlist of books, or if this also gives you access to a separate wishlist called "Non-books." If this gives you access to "Non-books," please disregard. That list isn't especially prurient or anything but I rarely look at or update it so it certainly contains things I don't need currently.    Cellar Door Fall Collection:  If they still have a Once Bitten candle I'd love that. It's my fave of their Halloween scents but I'd prefer that over the soap since somehow I never used my bar of it from last year. But if they only have the soap I'll take that instead! Other scents that'd work for soap include Lavender Pumpkin, Black No. 1, and Spooky Season.    Sock Dreams:  Not at this time, will update if that changes.    Damman Freres Tea:  This site is a little hard for my poor old/slow computer to understand, so I hope I am looking at it right. Remember that I will not use loose tea, so if I am mentioning something that is only available in loose tea, it is a mistake. Noel, Jardin Bleu, Gout Russe Douchka, Bali, the Green Mint and Minty Teas, Rooibos Carrot Cake, Coquelicot Gourmand, Christmas Tea (green or black) all sound good.    Paintbox Weenies:  Soap or Bath Streusel in Phantasma or The Grey Hound   Haus of Gloi fall? Pumpkin Butter: Blood Orange Marshmallow, Ghost Puffs, Little Hedgehog, or Spider Silk Candles: Little Hedgehog or Violet Moon   Pastel Halloween/traveling during round:  Pastel Halloween things are fine. As for traveling during the round, I am going to be out of town on Halloween itself, but that is just staying in a hotel in one of the nearby large cities for one night.    Functional, useful fiberart:  Gosh, slippers decadently lined in cashmere are hard to pass up!    I do not have a Halloween Tree. However, I could display Halloween ornaments in other ways and have in the past.    I do not have an etsy wishlist as I rarely if ever look at etsy these days. I might look at etsy again if needed in order to spoil my Witchee though!    I would not wear hair falls.    Do you have use for witchy supplies? Herbs, oils, crystals, etc. If so, what types and for what purpose(s)? Eh... I have a very nice witchy store in my town, just went there yesterday and got some black tourmaline and a room spray. I have a LOT of crystals already and currently they are just in a box in the kitchen. So if you see one crystal or trinket you think I'd really like that's fine, but as mentioned in my questionnaire, I don't really want someone else sourcing specific spellwork items for me or something.    Would you be interested in custom artwork, such as a painting? No thank you.    Dragon Con Redux:  Plastic Rats and Dark Macadamia sound worth a try.    I'm in Japan, anything specific you would want from here? For this question, usually I just say that whatever is in line with previously stated preferences would be great. Since in my original questionnaire I mentioned green tea flavored chocolate, that's still a thought, including in the green tea kitkat application. We usually also get a question about seasonal kitkats in general, so again, if it seems like I'd like the flavor, go for it! Japan also has many fun flavors of potato chips, potato sticks, etc. (I have some "Hokkaido Butter" flavored ones right now that I got from Daiso), those also sound good right now. I can update this question if I think of another specific product.    Mongolian souvenirs/small things from random countries:  This sounds great, actually.    Custom ita rosettes/cases:  No thank you.    3 fave snorgtees:  1. Correlation Does Not Imply Causation, Women's Signature Tee 2XL Black 2.TRY 2 MORE TIMES SO THAT YOUR FAILURE IS STATISTICALLY SIGNIFICANT, Women's Signature Tee 2XL Dark Grey Heather 3. Fear is the Mind Killer Cat, Women's Signature Tee 2XL Berry   I am not a fan of bloomchic based on the one order I made from them (which was just last year, but was not a Halloween item).    * I like making little flower arrangements with fake flowers; would you be interested in a mini bouquet (think, something that would fit in a bud vase)? No thank you.      * Feelings on candles/wax melts? I think I've already been fairly effusive about candles here, and I know that in my questionnaire I state that i don't want/use wax melts (though I think I refer to them as "wax tarts").    * Feelings on crocheted wall art/mandalas? Color scheme requests? Sounds intriguing. Plenty of information about color preferences in my questionnaire.    Australian goodies:  If there are Tim Tams you think I might like, or any other treat that seems to be in line with my preferences, that's fine! Just no musk lifesavers, haha! As for the local Australian tea blender mentioned, it seemed like they only do loose tea, which I will not use, so I guess not!    I have a wonderful coffee roaster near me, wood-roasted, small batch, regular and decaf, all roast types. IF this sounds good, whats your coffee desire, and beans or grind size? I would also send a sticker from them, so also include your favorite old 70's-80's cartoons or fandoms: Coffee preferences are also in my questionnaire. As review, medium roast, whole bean, not flavored. Old cartoons... Thundercats? Space Ghost? Jem?

Lynne's answers for Switch Witch 2025

Here's where I'll put answers to questions asked.   Wishlists for perusal - even if something is sold out, it might give you ideas. Amazon https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/1O2KX7VTUZYMU?ref_=wl_share Etsy Lynne Wardrop's favorite items - Etsy eQuilter Wish List - under my email lawardrop@comcast,net   Interested in anything from Cellar Door's Halloween update? These are the ones I like best from their 2025 Halloween offerings. Candle or bar of soap are welcome Lavender Pumpkin  Haunted Woods  Holland Hard Cider  Autumn Apple Fest    Anything from Sock Dreams catch your eye? (https://sockdreams.com) Longer Striped Extraordinary Thigh High Socks – Sock Dreams -plum/black Chevron Sleeves – Sock Dreams grey or black Roll Top Striped Knee High Socks – Sock Dreams plum/black   I live in France, and we have some great tea here! Most folks know about Mariage Freres but may I suggest Damman Freres? Here's the link- they're still in summer mode, but I assure you, autumnal teas will grace their pages soon! (https://www.dammann.fr/en/)  Under black teas, the Assam & tiramisu blend sound lovely. Some sort of autumn black tea with fruit and spice would be nice if that's on the autumn list.   Do you see anything you need from Paintbox Soapworks Weenie Update? New & Limited Edition - 2025 Weenie Collection - Page 1 - Paintbox Soapworks  I adore their bath streusels, especially Fairy Tale or anything with apple.   Speaking of updates, anything from Haus of Gloi's Fall offerings speak to you? (https://www.hausofgloi.com/collections/fall-1) Blood Orange Marshmallow is my fave scent of theirs. Pumpkin seed butter & bubbling scrub are my fave products Little hedgehog & Apple milk also sound nice   Also, I know we have barely scratched the surface in knowing what the Lab will release for Weenies, but a wishlist couldn't hurt, so what'll it be?  I seem to be collecting the Dead Leaves series. I don't have or need them all, but I always find at least 1 new one each year. I'm hoping Beth will resurrect Dead leaves & vanilla incense (or if you have an unloved bottle knocking about)     How do you feel about the pastel Halloween offerings that are out? I'm not much of a pastels person at any time of year, but certainly not at Halloween. I'm a deep dark jewel tones kinda girl.   As of this writing, Dragon Con Peach Pit scents have been revealed! Anything on your wishlist? None of the peachy ones. I'm curious about the room spray Gamboge Dragon. Weenies listed down the page.   I am a bit known for my extremely light-weight hand crafted hair falls (I typically make them out of a combination of yarns, batting, and bits of up cycled silks and lace). Would you like one (for a pony tail effect) or two (for a pigtail effect)? If so, name two or three colors and any allergies to fibers I should know about. A pony tail about 12-13" with purples, teals, black, silver would be fun with my renny garb.   Do you have use for witchy supplies? Herbs, oils, crystals, etc. If so, what types and for what purpose(s)? I love stones, anything promoting harmony, abundance, peace. Or a hagstone. I adore hagstones.   Would you be interested in custom artwork, such as a painting? If so, what mood, theme, colors, style, etc. would you be excited to see? If there's a dream, a dnd character, a favorite fairy tale, deity, etc. you'd love it to capture, spill those deets - including anything you wouldn't want (nudity, size restrictions, whatnot). I'm still thinking on this and will come back to it. Short answer is yes, but I need to ponder direction/ideas   Welp, the list of what will fully be available over the Dragon Con weekend (and a preview of Weenies!) is now available! I already asked the Peach Pit question, but now there's heaps more, so gimme your wishlist!!!    More or less in priority order: DEAD LEAVES AND APPLE PIE Dead LEAVES, MOLTEN LAVA CAKE, AND RAW CACAO Vintage kitty blow molds Dark MACADEMIA   NEW QUESTIONS   1. I'm in Japan, anything specific you would want from here? Fun flavors of kit kats. Iespecially like dk chocolate orange   2.

Is that something you might be interested in? If so, what type/colors/size/ etcetc No thank you.

It’s almost time for The Hunger Games!

You’re invited to join me in SPACE (Signum Portals for Adult Continuing Education) online via Signum University to talk about all five books in The Hunger Games series! The first module has been confirmed to run in September 2025. What lessons do the Capitol and Districts have to teach us? What warnings should we heed? What road leads from here to Panem? Over the course of five months, participants in these SPACE modules will read and discuss a modern classic of dystopian storytelling, The Hunger Games series by Suzanne Collins. In this hybrid series, each week will include one lecture and one live discussion. The lectures will examine the inspirations behind, allusions in, and questions posed by that month’s novel. In live discussions, participants will share their insights on, interpretations of, and reactions to the story. Together we will consider why this series has spoken to so many readers and explore how its messages remain relevant today. Here is more information.

Switch Witch 2025

Ok, In order to help my witch out, I have stopped being lazy and will keep my answers in my blog from now on     Interested in anything from Cellar Door's Halloween update?  Not this time, thanks. Anything from Sock Dreams catch your eye? (https://sockdreams.com)  Not really, thanks.

I live in France, and we have some great tea here! Most folks know about Mariage Freres but may I suggest Damman Freres? Here's the link- they're still in summer mode, but I assure you, autumnal teas will grace their pages soon! (https://www.dammann.fr/en/) I am pretty stocked up on tea at this point.   Do you see anything you need from Paintbox Soapworks Weenie Update?  New & Limited Edition - 2025 Weenie Collection - Page 1 - Paintbox Soapworks.  I love their sorbettos and Jack of the Woods appeals to me.  I also love the Clean slate facial scrub and the bookkeepers hand salve. Tiger paste hand scrub looks excellent as well (my hands and cuticles are a disaster!)   Speaking of updates, anything from Haus of Gloi's Fall offerings speak to you? (https://www.hausofgloi.com/collections/fall-1)  I do like their pumpkin butters a lot.  The scents that I'd be interested in are Ghost puffs, Olde Cider Haus, Scarecrow, or Pink Bubblegum.

Also, I know we have barely scratched the surface in knowing what the Lab will release for Weenies, but a wishlist couldn't hurt, so what'll it be?  I updated my wishlist in my signature     How do you feel about the pastel Halloween offerings that are out?  I actually like them.  I am going to decorate my kitchen in pastel Halloween, my patio room with my Halloween tree, and the rest of my house with Vintage style Halloween.     I'm  one of those crafty sorts that make things.  I make things by up cycling sweaters, for example - mittens, slippers, armwarmers (both solid or striped from multiple fabrics ).  Could also make a tea cosy with a mat.  I make bowls, mats & vessels from rope that I wrap with pretty cloth.  So essentially, functional, useful fiberart.  What might you like?  Long striped armwarmers? A pair of slippers, decadently lined in cashmere? Slippers would be awesome and cashmere lined?  Wow.  A rope basket sounds lovely too.   do you have an amazon wishlist to be sure I don't  duplicate a book?  I just updated my Amazon wishlist, but I don't have any books on it right now.  I'm definitely up for my witch passing on books they have read and no longer need. I added my Etsy Wishlist as well.   Do you have a Halloween Tree?  Do you need decorations?  I just got a 2 ft black tree this year.  I have decorations but would welcome a special ornament from my witch.  I added some ideas on my Etsy wishlist of my style.   Hair falls?  They sound lovely but I'm afraid I don't have enough hair to pull one off.   Witchy supplies?  No, thanks   Custom artwork?  Sure.  Maybe something abstract?  Not too big.   Dragon Con?  Early Weenie preview?  The most interesting to me are listed below.  Don't need a bottle of any of these but a decant would be fine just to try them.

2025 Switch Witch Questions

Links: Amazon general wishlist Amazon book wishlist Amazon makeup wishlist Etsy wishlist Pinterest (for the vibes)     Interested in anything from Cellar Door's Halloween update? Basic Witch, Black no. 1, and Once Bitten all sound good. And not part of the Halloween selection, but the Tea Tree & Charcoal soap looks v nice too!   Anything from Sock Dreams catch your eye? (https://sockdreams.com) Any of the New Zealand bed socks, the plus size high waisted fleece lined leggings (black or purple), and they're out of stock, but my gosh the Lisbeth printed tights (large) are stunning   Damman Freres? Here's the link- (https://www.dammann.fr/en/)  Rooibos Carrot Cake, Lovely Chai, and Mint Fennel all sound delicious   Do you see anything you need from Paintbox Soapworks Weenie Update? New & Limited Edition - 2025 Weenie Collection - Page 1 - Paintbox Soapworks Bath streusel or scrub in Phantasma would be lovely!   Anything from Haus of Gloi's Fall offerings speak to you? (https://www.hausofgloi.com/collections/fall-1) Bubbling scrub in Kitchen Witch or Spider Silk and/or Refresher Spray in Cozy Apple or Olde Cider Haus

Weenies wishlist? Will update once the full announcement is out, but as far as the teasers go, The Hag and Hiss & Hearse sound gorgeous.   How do you feel about the pastel Halloween offerings that are out?  I lean more towards nature-inspired decor, but if it's on something like a notepad or t-shirt it'd be cute (especially if purple or mint)   Will you be away for part of the round? I will be away the week after it ends (11/9-11/15), but my partner will be home, so late packages will be safe but my squee'ing will be delayed.   Fiberart - What might you like?  Long striped armwarmers? A pair of slippers, decadently lined in cashmere? Lined slippers sound oh so lovely!    Do you have an amazon wishlist to be sure I don't  duplicate a book? linked at the top   Do you have a Halloween Tree?  Do you need ornaments? No, but I do have some wall hooks I sometimes hang ornaments from, so a flat ornament could make a seasonal home there.   Do you have an Etsy wishlist?   also linked at the top   Dragon Con Peach Pit scents have been revealed! Anything on your wishlist? (Including the Dragons here too) Nothing's catching my eye from these.   Would you like [a hair fall] (for a pony tail effect) or two (for a pigtail effect)? I've never worn one, so I'm not sure if it'd work with short hair? If it would, then a mermaid-themed one would be really cool - sea green mixed with colors to blend into my mix of salt and (mostly) pepper.   Do you have use for witchy supplies? Herbs, oils, crystals, etc. If so, what types and for what purpose(s)? I'm well stocked on herbs and oils (though the new Golden Honeycomb TAL has caught my eye), but incense, chime candles, and crystals are very welcome. Anything for energy, focus, or creative expression/writing would be :chef's kiss:   Would you be interested in custom artwork, such as a painting? If so, what mood, theme, colors, style, etc. would you be excited to see? If there's a dream, a dnd character, a favorite fairy tale, deity, etc. you'd love it to capture, spill those deets - including anything you wouldn't want (nudity, size restrictions, whatnot). Yes - as long as it's not too heavy (I'm in a rental and use command strips instead of nails). I tend to like art that's either very stylized (like art nouveau) or abstract and/or textured (check out my pinterest for examples). As for colors, I like all shades of green and blue-green, but also punchy peaches and deep dark purples, as well metallics and weathered papers. Mixed media is welcome. For the theme, anything inspired by Tarot, fairy tales, fae, goddesses, or the ocean would be cool, as I lean towards the dreamy and fantastical.    I'm in Japan, anything specific you would want from here? I love those guava candies and anything matcha. Aesthetically, I'm always drawn to prints with sakura blossoms over a blue background. There's probably lots of Japanese makeup and skincare I would love - I have pale, cool, olive-leaning skin, so a lot of asian makeup palettes work well for me. Same with hair products/accessories. Incense would be very welcome! I use the Morning Star brand all the time and would enjoy trying others as well.   I just got back from Mongolia and brought a bunch of small souvenirs, how do you feel about small things from random countries?  That sounds fun! I trust your judgement as far as specific types of souvenirs go, but I can usually find a spot for random doodads and whatnots, especially if I can find a tie-in for feng shui purposes.   I make custom ita rosettes/cases (pics here to explain what I mean https://tinyurl.com/mwtwmvfm). Is that something you might be interested in? If so, what type/colors/size/ etcetc These are so cool! Maybe one that could be used as halloween/harvest decor - like to hang from a doorknob perhaps? (colors: orange & browns w/ a touch of green or teal)   Snorg tees has some hilarious and awesome new shirts. They are also reasonably priced. Please give me 3 of your fav designs and tee size/color if available for a color option. https://www.snorgtees.com/products/strange-women-lying-in-ponds-sword-distribution-co-womens-v-neck-tee?variant=44828593651844 - heather slate, XL https://www.snorgtees.com/products/do-it-for-the-plot-womens-v-neck-tee?variant=51003842461828 - heather slate, XL https://www.snorgtees.com/products/chaotic-neutral-womens-v-neck-tee?variant=41882701758596 - dark gray heather, XL   BloomChic has some pretty fun plus and smaller size halloween fashions. If you so desire, give me your top 3 favs with sizes!  Ooh, I've been wanted to try out Bloomchic for a while now. I'm obsessed with this one: https://bloomchic.com/collections/halloween/products/hollow-mesh-back-slim-fit-t-shirt?from_module=JUU1JTk1JTg2JUU1JTkzJTgxJUU5JTlCJTg2JUU1JTkwJTg4JUU5JUExJUI1 - 2X

Switch Witch 2025 Answers

Interested in anything from Cellar Door's Halloween update?  I had not heard of this company until now, but Basic Witch, Graveyard Smash, Once Bitten, and Zombie Repellent all sound really good.   Anything from Sock Dreams catch your eye? (https://sockdreams.com)
The Longer Ringmaster Stripes in Buggy D. Burgundy, the Oops! Gossamer Stripes in Daffodil, and the Longer Extraordinary Thigh Highs in Spice, Teal, Lilac, and Forest all look good.
  I live in France, and we have some great tea here! Most folks know about Mariage Freres but may I suggest Damman Freres? Here's the link- they're still in summer mode, but I assure you, autumnal teas will grace their pages soon! (https://www.dammann.fr/en/)  There are too many teas on here that sound exceptionally good! I'd love to try Bali, poire marron glace, blanc d'oranger, the des trois fleurs,maybe earl grey mandarin   Do you see anything you need from Paintbox Soapworks Weenie Update?  New & Limited Edition - 2025 Weenie Collection - Page 1 - Paintbox Soapworks No, but I would be interested in sniffing Jack-of-the-Woods, Phantasma, and the Grey Hound.   Speaking of updates, anything from Haus of Gloi's Fall offerings speak to you? (https://www.hausofgloi.com/collections/fall-1) Most of those sound amazing.  I'd love to sniff Apple Milk, Autumn Bouquet, Blood Orange Marshmallow, Cozy Apple, and Little Hedgehog.

Also, I know we have barely scratched the surface in knowing what the Lab will release for Weenies, but a wishlist couldn't hurt, so what'll it be? I don't have any idea... I suppose if there are literary vampire scents like they had forever ago, or a favorite gets rezzed/turned into gloss?   How do you feel about the pastel Halloween offerings that are out? The peach, mint, lilac, and light teal I could totally work into my decor.  Also, I've been seeing a couple of things in 90s acid green that I would 100% be incorporating with what I already have-- if that counts as a pastel?   So, while a completely girly pastel Halloween look doesn't really speak to me, the colors could definitely work with a lot of what I already have, since most of those are either dark or the vibrant variations of the pastel colors.  Dark Rainbow Halloween!

2025 Switch Witch Questions

Switch witch 2025 questions   Interested in anything from Cellar Door's Halloween update? Once Bitten or Basic witch soap or candles look yummy, or any of the apple/cider scents.   Anything from Sock Dreams catch your eye? (https://sockdreams.com) I adore sock dreams, any of the knee high stripes, esp the pride flag, marled and harvest lines. I’d also love to try any of the thunder thighs thigh highs because they might actually fit and stay up for once.  I adore the sockwell compression knee highs and can never have enough, esp in colors other than black (m/l). The rainbow snail knee highs are cute, as are the rainbow crochet net tights   I live in France, and we have some great tea here! Most folks know about Mariage Freres but may I suggest Damman Freres? Here's the link- they're still in summer mode, but I assure you, autumnal teas will grace their pages soon! (https://www.dammann.fr/en/)   The oolong Caramel looks fantastic (i love caramel teas but they are hard to find the US. one of my favorite teas is just like a generic lipton caramel black tea from france that I was gifted by a friend and cannot find here at all).  fraise pistache, vanille almande, vanille, highlands breakfast, tea de poetes, 2nd flush assam, sencha tenu, gamnong   New Question   Do you see anything you need from Paintbox Soapworks Weenie Update? New & Limited Edition - 2025 Weenie Collection - Page 1 - Paintbox Soapworks Pumpkin daddy and jack of the woods look intriguing. Scrub or Soap.   New Questions!
Speaking of updates, anything from Haus of Gloi's Fall offerings speak to you? (https://www.hausofgloi.com/collections/fall-1) Apple milk or little hedgehog hair oil, scrub, or refresher spray. Pumpkin eater and spider silk also sound nice but not sure if I'd get much use out of them.  For GC scents coffee House and Satyr would also be lovely. 

Also, I know we have barely scratched the surface in knowing what the Lab will release for Weenies, but a wishlist couldn't hurt, so what'll it be? Punkie night is always a good choice and bobbing for smut is on my list (I have pumpkin smut & regular smut and love both). Any of the weenie versions of classics like snake oil would be good too.    How do you feel about the pastel Halloween offerings that are out? I actually like them. I am going to decorate my kitchen in pastel Halloween, my patio room with my Halloween tree, and the rest of my house with Vintage style Halloween. I love pastels! Cute pastel rainbow and spooky is my vibe, so definitely a yes for me.    I seem to remember that previous questionnaires asked if you will be away for part of the round. I will be visiting my Aunt in New York from October 22-Nov. 2, so my witch may want to time my packages a little early. If not, my husband will be home to safeguard any packages. Nope, I'll be around the whole time.    I'm one of those crafty sorts that make things. I make things by up cycling sweaters, for example - mittens, slippers, armwarmers (both solid or striped from multiple fabrics ). Could also make a tea cosy with a mat.I make bowls, mats & vessels from rope that I wrap with pretty cloth.So essentially, functional, useful fiberart. What might you like? Long striped armwarmers? A pair of slippers, decadently lined in cashmere?  Fingerless mitts are always wanted! I have chronically cold hands and work with them so having a warm pair of mitts to keep my fingers moving is essential. I live in a fairly warmish climate (my first winter here never dipped below 50, but last year we had snow). I also wouldn't mind leg warmers or a bowl/receptacle for knick-knacks.    Oh bonus question- do you have an amazon wishlist to be sure I don't duplicate a book? I do. I'll add a link in my sig but here it is for now:  https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/12DYTM8OTGJXQ?ref_=wl_share   New Questions Do you have a Halloween Tree?  Do you need ornaments?  I do have a Christmas tree that I decorate spookily for Xmas. It's white iridescent tinsel and I have a bunch of bats and regular ornaments I put on. I don't necessarily need anything for the tree but if you found any spooky themed Hanukah items I'd lose my mind.    Do you have an Etsy wishlist?   I do! I'm trying to update it a bit and remove stuff for old projects.so if you see 4 pages of similar craft items that's what that was about 😅 https://www.etsy.com/people/crescentwench?ref=hdr-fav&tab=items   QUESTIONS! As of this writing, Dragon Con Peach Pit scents have been revealed! Anything on your wishlist? Im not fiending for any of the peach scents. Peach chai hair oil, peach milk oil and peach rock candy linen spray sound pretty good. I'm more into the dragon scents - Bastard Amber Dragon and Capuut Mortem dragon are both right up my alley, and griege dragon has potential to be a winner for me if the sandalwood will behave.  Okay updating now the full dcon list is out, in a sort of vague preference rank-  Bastard Amber Dragon  Caput mortem dragon Griege dragon  Sang de beouf dragon Cerise dragon Tarantula flash Devil flash  Vintage kitty blow molds Hiss & hearse Headless hearseman Pumpkin root beer float Lime green hearse Pumpkin latte Samhain Peach rock candy Pink peach strawberry & candied amber  Peach chai Sugared Peach milk   I am a bit known for my extremely light-weight hand crafted hair falls (I typically make them out of a combination of yarns, batting, and bits of up cycled silks and lace). Would you like one (for a pony tail effect) or two (for a pigtail effect)? If so, name two or three colors and any allergies to fibers I should know about. I probably won't wear these much. I have some that haven't come out in years at this point.    New questions: Do you have use for witchy supplies? Herbs, oils, crystals, etc. If so, what types and for what purpose(s)? Not particularly. I wouldn't mind some tarot cards (I've been drooling over fyodor Pavlov's set for years) or some herbs and oils for kitchen witchery purposes (i.e. cooking) but I don't really do any rituals or formal practice.    Would you be interested in custom artwork, such as a painting? If so, what mood, theme, colors, style, etc. would you be excited to see? If there's a dream, a dnd character, a favorite fairy tale, deity, etc. you'd love it to capture, spill those deets - including anything you wouldn't want (nudity, size restrictions, whatnot). I love artwork!  Favorite styles: art nouveau, cartoon/graphic style (like anime or tattoo art, bright colors and lots of line work), soft & colorful (think impressionist, pastels) Favorite artists: Jiji Knight, John William Waterhouse, Mucha, Monet, malina dowling (voidbug), gawki Favorite subjects: gorgeous curvy ladies, plants & animals, spooky things like ghosts, bats, baba yaga, mythical creatures, pokemon, historical fashion esp 18th century.    1. I'm in Japan, anything specific you would want from here? I'm in love with several of the japan exclusive le creuset items, esp the soup spoons. I also adore Japanese stationary (gel pens, corrector tape, stamps, etc)  and j + k beauty products. I've also been pining for Vivienne Westwood (real or inspired by) jewelry which seems much more prevalent there.    2. I just got back from Mongolia and brought a bunch of small souvenirs, how do you feel about small things from random countries? I love random souvenirs and knicknacks from random countries    3. I make custom ita rosettes/cases (pics here to explain what I mean https://tinyurl.com/mwtwmvfm). Is that something you might be interested in? If so, what type/colors/size/ etcetc I like those! I don't have that type of pin so maybe a hair bow? Or a full rosette I could use for historical costumes would be awesome. My colors are pretty prevalently mentioned in above questions but greens, peaches, springy colors and rainbow/pastel rainbow   * I like making little flower arrangements with fake flowers; would you be interested in a mini bouquet? If so, any seasonal/color scheme requests? Probably not, I hate dusting fake flowers so probably not a great fit for me.      * Feelings on candles/wax melts? I don't mind candles but I only ever use them in the bathroom and never use wax melts.      * Feelings on crocheted wall art/mandalas? Color scheme requests? I'd be down with that. Pastel rainbow or green/peach/pink/yellow springy colors   NEW QUESTIONS!   1) Snorg tees has some hilarious and awesome new shirts. They are also reasonably priced. Please give me 3 of your fav designs and tee size/color if available for a color option. website is snorgtees.com I don't particularly need new t-shirts but I do like these designs.   visit Sark Chasm - green 2xl Fluent in fowl language -  navy 2xl cake or death - black 2xl  2) BloomChic has some pretty fun plus and smaller size halloween fashions. If you so desire, give me your top 3 favs with sizes! website is bloomchic.com not for me. I'm not really into fast fashion or non-natural fibers. \   Jumping in as *I think* the only Australian, is there anything specifically Australian you might like? I think Tim Tams are probably the most commonly coveted/procured goodie I could offer. 
I can't think of anything specific. I don't have strong feelings about tim tams having gone gluten free before having access to any. But if you have such a thing as gluten free jaffa cakes I'd be absolutely floored.    I also have a local tea blender just down the street from me if there is anything from there you might like to try https://teahouse-the-tea-specialty-shop.myshopify.com/?shpxid=5b923712-0d5e-474a-8d56-451b0c319c78 black - caramel cream , vanilla or any of the breakfast varieties   I have a wonderful coffee roaster near me, wood-roasted, small batch, regular and decaf, all roast types. It's so good, I won't buy coffee anywhere else, and I only drink dark roast decaf. IF this sounds good, whats your coffee desire, and beans or grind size?  They are also a FULLY geeked out space with every video and arcade game known. so I would also send a sticker from them, so also include your favorite old 70's-80's cartoons or fandoms. I need the caffeine (see above, adhd) but I prefer lighter roasts and I'd rather have whole bean since I don't drink coffee super often and prefer to grind it fresh. I also love flavored coffees like (i'm sure it's not a surprise at this point) vanilla or caramel.   As far as 70/80s cartoons/fandoms mainly the muppets, monty python, labyrinth, princess bride. I mostly watched PBS and wasn't allowed video games as a kid so I'm mostly familiar with newer stuff despite being born in '82.    I’m dying to knit my Witchee something lovely, as long as it would be appreciated. 
I can’t commit to a big project in the time frame, but socks, a hat, a cowl, arm warmers, or a shawlette for your neck and shoulders could definitely be doable if that would be enjoyed. Just let me know colour preferences, or fibre preferences/allergies.  Oh I would adore handmade socks or arm warmers!! I won't repeat colors again but natural fibers please! Cotton or wool/animal fiber.

Join me in Panem starting in September 2025!

Signum University — Blackberry Join me in SPACE (Signum Portals for Adult Continuing Education) online via Signum University! What lessons do the Capitol and Districts have to teach us? What warnings should we heed? What road leads from here to Panem? Over the course of five months, participants in these SPACE modules will read and discuss a modern classic of dystopian storytelling, The Hunger Games series by Suzanne Collins. In this hybrid series, each week will include one lecture and one live discussion. The lectures will examine the inspirations behind, allusions in, and questions posed by that month’s novel. In live discussions, participants will share their insights on, interpretations of, and reactions to the story. Together we will consider why this series has spoken to so many readers and explore how its messages remain relevant today.

Help launch Hangsaman!

My “Hangsaman by Shirley Jackson: Exploring a Gothic Campus Mystery” one-month module with SPACE (Signum Portals for Adult Continuing Education) online via Signum University is currently “on the launchpad” for potential launch in the autumn of 2025. Here is the official description: “Shirley Jackson is rightly celebrated as a master of Gothic storytelling thanks to her most well-known novels such as The Haunting of Hill House (1959) and We Have Always Lived in the Castle (1962). In recent years, however, her earlier novel Hangsaman (1951) has received new attention and critical appreciation from fans and scholars alike.

"Far ahead of its time when it was published, Jackson’s deeply personal Hangsaman is many things: a psychological study of a young woman’s coming of age; a haunting Gothic mystery; a pointed critique of gender roles, family dynamics, and higher education; a meditation on trauma and mental illness; and an ancestor of today’s dark academia storytelling. Shirley Jackson drew inspiration from a variety of sources to craft this remarkable campus novel, from folk ballads and the Tarot, myth and ritual, to a real college campus and an unsolved New England cold case of a missing sophomore student.

"In this module, we will unpack this gem of a Gothic story, following freshman Natalie Waite as she searches for her “essential self” and discussing why Hangsaman feels freshly relevant and important to many readers today.” Here is more information on the Hangsaman module. To help launch this module, please go here, log in, and put this module on your launchpad short-list. Thanks!
