A beautiful wedding deserves a beautiful keepsake.

Contact me for officiant services!

Each ceremony is individually created with information I glean from conversations with both of you and your loved ones. I ask LOTS of questions! My goal is to make each and every ceremony unique and deeply personal. A ceremony is a reflection of the people and events being celebrated deserving intricacy and intimacy.

Contact me for more information!

****. CLOSING SALE!! 20% OFF ALL STOCK ITEMS ****

After much consideration, Jack Shadow & I decided to close the retail arm of The Power of Aum. I'm 63 and he's about 70 in human years ~ we'd like to have our weekends to play and time to spend with our kids & grandkids. Retail is a harsh mistress!

And so, we say goodbye to our dear community on December 30th.

So many thanks and so much gratitude for a fabulous run. We enjoyed so much success here: we met amazing people and made the best new friends, all of whom have enhanced our lives. I will hold the multitude of intimate and profound conversations I've had with many of you in my heart. I learned so much from so many people! That was my greatest success -- connection with the community. Thank you again for a wonderful run!!

We are offering 20% off all stock items on sales of $10 or more.

* This does NOT include any work produced by our artisans. *

I'm keeping the business name but will change offerings. We will offer Officiant/Celebrant services. I am a minister and perform weddings, vow renewals, commitment ceremonies, land & home blessings, birth and naming blessings & ceremonies. We will retain our busy Polarity & Aesthetic practices.

We look forward to a fun filled and fulfilling future!

Yataze, baby!

🧹🧹💐🍂 FLORAL BESOMS 🍂💐🧹🧹

These beautiful besoms flew in the door yesterday just in time for the Autumnal Equinox!

Made by local Porter artist, The Faery on the Hill, these lovingly crafted Floral Witches Besoms can be used for cleansing & purifying rituals, for magick or simply as decoration.

These beauties average about 24 inches in length, made of birch twigs and sticks collected from the artist’s woods, dried flowers and other natural materials. The dried flowers are from local grower, Good Buddy Farm in Hiram.

I’m really kind of digging them hanging with the witches balls and the wind chimes. But maybe even more with the birch Ravens ~ fabulous energy!

Come on in and see them. There is a limited supply!

We will be closed today, Thursday August 17th, for a day of therapy! This morning we are will be working with a dear one whose land has been subjected to some violence recently. Jack Shadow and I will perform a blessing, clear and align the land and make offerings of peace and love to the Great Earth Mother. (Did I mention that I'm a Minister?)

In the afternoon, we will be working with folks on West Pond offering a Water Polarity Therapy session. After the session, we will have an interactive singing bowls, drumming and bell session where everyone will join together to create sacred music and offer prayers of healing.

If you're interested in arranging a day of healing and soul journeying, private message me! Let's talk!

A beautiful day!

I'll see you in the shop tomorrow!

Shamanic Rattles and Talking Sticks are here!

These artifacts are made by local artist, John Cowburn of Center Ossipee, NH.

These exquisitely detailed Shamanic Rattles feature either a Cured Gourd or Cured Deer Hide rattle atop a Beaver chewed stick affixed with sinew. Each rattle features

~ Unique designs of hand stitched Pe**te beadwork using glass, semi-precious gemstones, hematite, wood & bone beads.

~ Leather

Talking Sticks are used in many Indigenous cultures around the world. It is an ancient and powerful “communication tool” that ensures a code of conduct of respect during meetings is followed. The person holding the stick, and only that person, is designated as having the right to speak and all others must listen quietly and respectfully.

John’s Talking Stick artifacts can be used by many people in a variety of ways.

A couple negotiating a difficult situation;

A raucous family gathering!;

A child in a classroom;

A ceremony or gathering….

The list goes on and on! I think this would make a fantastic wedding gift. What a great way for a young couple to peacefully and meaningfully have deep discussions and know they’re being heard and taken seriously by one another.

Made of beaver chewed sticks, hand-stitched Pe**te beadwork. Most feature a bit of leather. There are some leather free options as well.

Drop in today and pick up your Shamanic Rattle or Talking Stick.

Or both!
