The Devil of the Fallow Plot Sorcerous Oil serves to call upon the Witches Devil in his aspect of the Lord of the Fallow Plot. In this guise, he rules over the decrease of fertility, and man’s dominance over nature.
This oil can be used for workings to wither one’s power of fertility. In this case fertility does not limit itself to the ability to conceive, or one’s reproductive power, but also to abundance, prosperity, and all momentum towards growth and expansion. It may be used to curse a target so that their enterprise will not grow, or that the metaphorical seeds they plant will not bear fruit. It can also be used to weaken and to wither the blessings or protections a target has built around them. It can also be used in rites of influence an domination, especially when working against targets with spiritual inclinations. It can be used to lead others into temptation and into vice.
For the witch wielding it, this oil can also serve as a means of gaining power over spirits, of congregating the spirits of witches past for the purposes of magic or of learning, as well as to gain the protection of the Devil against spiritual attack. It is also an oil which can be used in all kinds of bestial magics, especially when it pertains to Fox, Coyote, Snake, Hawk, Crow, Buzzard, and Hare.

The Devil of the Hedge-Thorn Sorcerous Oil serves to call upon the Witches Devil in his aspect of the Hoary Lord of the Woods. In this guise, he rules over fertility, plant magics, and nature’s ability to endure and persist.
This oil is one of benefic character, and serves to increase the power of fertility in one’s life. Although this can apply to the literal ability to conceive and reproduce, it also applies to the ability to grow and to expand one’s affairs. It lends itself well to workings of prosperity and abundance, as well as workings of multiplication. It can also serve to increase one’s sexual nature, virility, and attraction. The oil of the Devil of the Thorn-Hedge can also be used as a means to acquire teachings of the Green Art, that is the use of plants and their parts in sorcery. It will also grant protection against spirits of nature, and their favour in turn.
This oil may also be used in rites of skin-turning, to shift and twist and turn the skin so that we may gain the ability to shift our spirit into the form of beasts, and explore the world of spirits in their form. Used in ecstatic practices, it serves to connect with plant and animal spirits so that they may teach and impart wisdom.

The 2nd Pentacle of Jupiter is “[…] proper for acquiring glory, honours, dignities, RICHES, and all kinds of good, together with great tranquility of mind; […]”.
These talismanic money bowls are spun, carved, and fired in the day and hour of Jupiter before being consecrated and fumigated in accordance to Solomonic tradition.
Each bowl is turned from speckled stoneware mixed with dirt from multiple banks and places of commerce (hence the small metallic bumps on their surface), and finished in a glassy copper-based glaze.
Set this money bowl near the door, upon the altar, or at your desk to draw wealth, abundance, and riches your way. Anoint coins, bills, and charms placed within with money-drawing oil, and sprinkle a pinch of wealthy way or money-drawing powders into it regularly to continue building your blessings.

Clarté Clarity Oil is a powerful, albeit simple formula designed to elucidate mysteries, expose truths, rat out liars, and bring clarity to the result of divination. As part of our House Line of sorcerous oils, Clarté aims to be direct and straightforward, so that it may be applied to any situation with ease. There are no tricks to using Clarté; no planets to invoke, no spirits to make offerings to, no procedures to follow — only clear intent and desire are necessary for its magic to work on your behalf.
Clarté can be applied to the body, or to the eyelids, to bring clarity during divination, or to enhance one’s ability to discern truth, especially when dealing with tricky spirits. It can be used on a poppet of a known liar to expose their falsehoods and make others see them as they truly are. Clarté can also be used within the frame of ritual to bring clarity to a situation, to expose a liar, to discover the truth of matters concealed, to enhance spiritual sight, and to better see spirits when they manifest. It can also be used during meditation or contemplation, to receive divine inspiration and increase personal awareness of any subject.
Within this oil, Amanita and Sage bring wisdom and knowledge; Storax brings clarity and banishes distraction, whilst Calendula and Snake bring light to whatever it is applied to.
Clarté Clarity Oil is sold in 1oz dropper bottles. Sold as curio only.
This is a powder of abundance in times of need — of prosperity in times of strife. This powder is that of the Winter Mother’s Basket, granting protection against the dangers and the strife of Winter. It is used to bless the home, to build wealth, and to ensure that the spirits of Winter are kept at bay.
This powder was compounded from the teachings of the Winter Mother in her aspect of the Aspen Maiden. For more info on the Aspen Maiden, see our article concerning the Winter Mother.
Sprinkle this powder at the four corners of the home, and at major thresholds to protect the home against evil spirits, against Winter-borne illness, and against maleficia. Sprinkle upon candles burnt to honour the Winter Mother, and in spellwork to get out of a tight financial situation. Sprinkled onto beeswax tapers and burned weekly, this powder ensures the prosperity and peace of the household, as well as the health of its inhabitants. Use also as the basis of charms and talismans for protection during Winter travels. It may also be sprinkled under the bed to improve fertility, and beneath the cradle to lend protection to a child.

The Winter Mother is the muffled thud of footsteps in freshly fallen snow — she is the cracking of skin in the cold air.

An oil to call upon Her in all of her ways, to conjure her spirits and aidants forth. For abundance and prosperity in times of scarcity. For protection against the dangers of Winter. To journey forth in dream. To convoke the Silvered Dead.

Within a turtle’s shell, sinew strung tight;
An instrument of kind delight.
Hermes, within Appollo’s hand
Rests the humble lyre,
With which to charm one’s desire.
Orpheus, heart split in half,
By his song steps foot upon the raft
Of humble Charon, ferryman of the Dead.
With pluck and hum he tricks
The mighty hound of the River Styx.
King Hades, moved by his song,
Does not tarry long
Before telling Orpheus:
“Open the gates, go forth and release,
From the gardens of Hell, fair Eurydice.”
Fixed Star Vega is the Swooping Vulture, the oft-vampiric Witchmother of the Behenian Fixed Stars rivaling the Necromantic Wing of Corvus in her knowledge of the arts magical. Even so, she is benefic, and willing to aid those who call upon her with a stern but patient temperament. She if of Venus and of Mercury, after all. Vega is a star of plenty, like many of the Behenii, but she is also a fierce protector against enchantment and maleficia, as well as a teacher in those arts. She grants the gifts of greatness, of protection against wicked spirits, of power over beasts, of artistic and magical inspiration, and of dominion over spirits and people alike. Hermes says of Vega that "Savory juice with an equal amount of the herb called fumitory and with a little of the stone called turonso, etc. grants favor with beasts, protects from scabies, that is, against demons, nocturnal phantoms, and fears." This star makes a great ally to the witch, and especially to the one who works with spirits of a fickle nature; it makes one powerful in life and in spirit, and increases one's influence through their word and through their art. It endows the tongue with the ability to charm and to appeal to gods, demons, and spirits, while granting protection against the same. As such, it enhances one's ability for magic and spirit communion. Nigel Jackson, in his Celestial Magic interprets Vega's effect as "[...]promoting self-esteem, magnanimity and pride[...]".
The Talisman of the Vulture's Lyre is a talisman for protection against maleficia and witchcraft, as well as a means by which to dominate various gods, spirits, and demons within the frame of ritual. Worn about the neck, it can be carried into any conjuring circle to gain the upper hand against fickle spirits, and hung upon the door it will fiercely protect the home and all of its inhabitants against evil spirits, curses, bindings, and all other ill-intentions. This is the most powerful protection talisman Kitchen Toad has offered to date. It is fashioned of iron-rich clay harvested from a local riverbed known for the quality of its clay, to which was added a portion of powdered Chrysolite, stone of Vega. These talismans were fired to a firm biscuit in the Kitchen Toad household wood stove, a fire kindled from Fumitory and Succory. As such, these talismans will absorb washes, oils, tinctures, and smoke by which they are graced, and continue to build upon their power.
The Talisman of the Vulture's Lyre evokes the star Vega's vulture which picked the turtle's shell clean of meat, so that its sinews could dry in the Sun and thus form the first lyre known to the Gods. This instrument Hermes gave to Apollo, who quickly transformed it into an instrument of power to charm and enchant those around him. Orpheus is perhaps the most renowned of Goetes having used the lyre as his tool of choice, to first charm Charon at the crossing of the river Styx, and Cerberus at the gate of Hades. It is by his song that he managed to move Hades himself and obtain his permission to retrieve his beloved Eurydice from the Underworld.
Our talisman seeks to evoke this tale by baring the traditional image of Vega, being of a Vulture, or a traveler. Our symbol is flanked by the Geomantic sigils of Puella and Albus, figures of Venus and Mercury with which Vega resonates. This image is set on the background of the lyre, above the sigil of Vega as given by Hermes.
Apart from serving as a font of Vega's power, carrying with it the virtues and attributes of the star described above, this talisman can be carried to charm others, to bolster one's influence upon others and upon spirits, to be made magnanimous, and to prosper in one's spiritual and artistic career. It can be hung upon the door for protection, but also above the bed to be rid of the Night-Mare. It can be carried into ritual to summon the shades of the Dead. It can be used as an object of devotion and contemplation when working with the star Vega as a star of one's nativity, or as a teacher of stellar magics.
To keep it fed, anoint with its sister oil, or imbibe it with Fixed Star Vega Attuning Tincture; fumigate it with smokes of Vega, and bathe it in water into which its powder was infused. This is to be done when the Moon joins Vega each month, or as it applies a positive aspect to this star.

Sold as curio only. Approximately 100g. Each talisman is unique and may differ from product shown.
These bowls were fashioned to suit the work of the Winter Mother. Crafted from red stoneware, partially sourced from ancestral clay beds, they feature a glossy snow-white interior and a matte, textured exterior.
Each bowl has been blessed and prayed over, and therefore is in tune with all Winter spirits.
Admittedly, these bowls went through quite the trauma going through the kiln, and a majority did not come out to the full height of Kitchen Toad’s standards. As such, most are offered as seconds or thirds.
Firsts are pieces living up to our standards.
Seconds are pieces with slight defects, but which are still functional.
Thirds are pieces which were compromised, but still carry the charge of their enchantments and can therefore be used to the same result as their more polished counterparts.
Bowls range from 5 to 9 inches in diameter, and are selected intuitively for each client.
These altar vessels dedicated to the Cut-Wife were fashioned from white clay upon which her glyph was marked with scarlet pigment. Their interior is glazed with Ox-blood, giving them a gory finish suitable to the works of the Cut-Wife. Each was washed in a mixture of herbs, tree barks, and animal materia under the guiding hands of the Winter Mother.
The Winter Mother dons her mourning cloak as the Cut-Wife; she is the patron of mothers and mothers to be, as well as of the infertile. She is the midwife, the surgeon, the butcher, and the vulture. In this aspect, the Winter Mother is a patroness of the Witching Arts, of necromancy, and of retribution. She is fiercely protective, but loyal to a fault. She is severe and somber, having known the pains of hunger and of infertility. She takes the Witch and the Dead as her children, for whom she prepares feasts and lessons. She dominates and subdues the spirits of the Winds, and wields them as agents of vengeance. She feasts upon the remains of the Dead, and her domain is that of the Potter's Field. She is a Saint to those gone too soon, to those having passed from hunger and cold, and to those having never seen their first meal.
Each vessel is accompanied by a set of instructions detailing the work of the Cut-Wife and how to welcome her into the home. However, specific details as to what must be done with the vessel are not included, as has now become tradition with all things pertaining to the Winter Mother. Each vessel may be used for a myriad of purposes, which will be revealed by dream, intuition, or cunning as one’s relationship with the Cut-Wife develops.
Sold as curio only.
These stoneware sconces, fashioned from red clay partially sourced from ancestral clay beds, were crafted to serve as altar to the Winter Mother and her avatars of the Cut-Wife and Aspen Maiden. Each provides ample space upon which to set lights so that she may be illuminated and drawn forth.
Her image, that of the vulture-headed woman in tattered clothes, walking barefoot upon snow and carrying both basket and sickle in hand, is painted in blood-red pigment that has been prayed and breathed upon to carry her virtues.
Each sconce measures approximately 7-8 inches.
The Winter Mother’s Cauldron is a whirl of hags, sleet, and silence. Within its bowels bird-women, yet-walking splayed creatures, silvered Dead, and tree-wives are found. It is a home to this Titan which we call Winter, and whose avatars emerge when she is invited into the home, guiding us in rites for good or ill in equal measure. This toothless, beaked hag who roams the space between the Aspen trees, dangles from the branches of Pine, and consumes little more than the bletted, frozen berries which not even birds will eat.
These cauldrons are a place of rest and of comfort to she who walks upon frostbitten toes, so that she may live as the seasons turn, beyond the cold of Winter. They are intended for those who would bring the mysteries of Winter into their home, and welcome its teachings beyond the season of Death. Each is sure to bring an array of experiences which will involve its owner in the witchery of night-hags, yearning mothers, suckling babes, Winter trees, and frozen landscapes.
Each Cauldron has been spun from red stoneware, partially taken from ancestral clay deposits proper to my family’s history. Each has been prayed, blessed, and prophesied over. Each has been adorned with a talisman of the star Vega, for its ability in controlling beasts and witches, and its association with the Winter Mother herself.
Each Winter Mother’s Cauldron has been fed a hen, and loaded with a charge which will only be shared with those who would welcome them into their home. Each comes with a vial of our Winter Mother, Cut-Wife, and Aspen Maiden sorcerous oils, as well as access to a live session with me to discuss the Winter Mother, who she is, what she does, why she exists, and how she may be called upon for our purposes.
The pictures posted here are pre-consecration. For pictures of the cauldrons post-consecration, please reach out.

The Aspen Maiden is the one who comes with basket in hand. In it she carries abundance and warmth, and all of the medicines of Winter. As a governess of the home, she brings levity, cheer, and wellbeing, while commanding the spirits of the home to bring harmony and peace.
The Aspen Maiden is the avatar of the Winter Mother as She Who Tends the Fire. She is kindly and good, and rules over the aspects of the hearth which are associated with all things positive. She rules over the Hobs of the home, over the kitchen, and over the boundaries which protect us from the cold.
The Aspen Maiden is the Winter Mother at her most benefic. She is the hero of the hungry and of the sickly, of the poor and of the cast aside. Her domain is that of the home, to which she brings fertility, abundance, wealth, and comfort. She is kind and joyous, spreading joy through music, dance, and the domestic arts. She has known suffering, and wishes for none to suffer the strife of Winter.
This oil blends plants sacred to her in an unguent fashioned to call her influence in whatever way may be appropriate; for protection from illness, for abundance and prosperity, for peace in the home, for dreaming, for success in the kitchen, for joy, and for warmth of heart and of body.
Each bottle of oil grants access to a twelve page document containing various prayers, recipes, and workings to work with the Aspen Maiden.
15ml bottle. Sold as curio only.
The Master of Witches Fixing Dust is a powder composed of dozens of herbal, mineral, and zoological ingredients which serves to call upon the Witches’ Devil as a source of authority and power.
This allows it to be used especially in cases of spiritual warfare, to gain power over the spells, spirits, and familiars of witches both living and disembodied, so that we may send such things back to their origin, dispel them, or seduce them into our control. It is used to confuse protective spirits when working on other spiritualists, and to whittle down stubborn targets of any working. It can also be used to gain control over unruly spirits, and to invoke the authority of the Devil in any ritual in which his authority is required. This can be for matters as simple as conjuring the bones of an animal, all the way to exerting dominance over spirits of place or spirits of the Dead.
It may be deployed by sprinkling it in spaces or upon candles, but it is usually applied directly to the target, or to an effigy which represents them.
