✨ A weekend woven with love and magick ✨
What a weekend of magick, love, and community.
I’ve sat here this morning with my coffee, the soft hum of the house around me, still smiling at all that unfolded. My heart is full. My feet are tired. And yet there is a quiet glow inside me that will not fade.
The weekend began with Noah and Percy’s wedding, a day so filled with love that the air itself seemed to shimmer. It was one of the most meaningful ceremonies I’ve ever had the honor to officiate. To stand before my son and the one who makes his heart shine, surrounded by family and friends, was something words can hardly contain.
A special thank you to Kaitlyn Sciciliano, the artist behind the most perfect wedding cake imaginable. She wove our favorite things into one breathtaking creation. Bats for our family’s love of the mysterious, a wand for Noah’s Harry Potter heart, and a lightsaber for Percy’s Star Wars spirit.
The red velvet and cream cheese icing were divine. Somehow she brought the entire vision to life in what felt like a blink, and every bite tasted like celebration.
Before the candlelight of that evening had even cooled, we found ourselves whisked into the next chapter of the story, the Halloween party.
A night that felt pulled straight from a dream. Laughter echoed through the room. Costumes shimmered in the glow of colored lights. Music and magick swirled together until time itself seemed to stand still.
Our Craft team and Koven family showed up in full force.
Veronica, our joyful shenaniganator, stirred the energy and kept the fun alive.
Morgan worked a full day at the shop and still arrived with smiles and Caden to decorate and bring the vision to life. Caden tended the bar with charm and grace all night long.
Christina and Marty came with decorations, treats, and hearts wide open. Christina’s handmade tumblers became beloved prizes, and she’s already gifted us more for our upcoming Crow Party.
Cayla and Andrew rolled up their sleeves to help us transform the venue into something straight out of storybook pages.
And of course, Allison and Alex, who opened the shop for us on Saturday so we could prepare for the evening’s enchantment. I hope everyone had a chance to chat with Allison, especially over tea. Her knowledge of herbs and the old ways is a gift in itself.
Then, like a vision returned from legend, Jamala appeared. It had been nearly two years since her last appearance, and to see her again was pure magick. She was radiant, every movement a dance between mystery and delight, reminding us all how beautiful it is when we let our inner spirits step into the light.
Board In Aiken created a feast that looked as though it had been conjured by witches and fae alike. A charcuterie spread of delicious abundance crowned by a full skeleton centerpiece that stole the show.
Every bite vanished almost as quickly as it appeared. Their kindness, professionalism, and artistry made the night effortless for us. Truly, if you ever need catering, these ladies are the ones to call.
And then there is Jon. My husband. My anchor. The quiet force behind every dream I chase. You rarely see him in photos or posts, yet he is the one making sure every detail falls into place. He is the one hauling, fixing, lifting, encouraging, and keeping me grounded when I start to drift into the clouds.
My real-life hero, and the keeper of my calm.
We ended it all with a sunrise journey to the Renaissance Fair, weary but grinning from ear to ear. It felt like stepping into another world again, full of laughter and adventure. I even came home with the most beautiful fox pelt, sustainably sourced of course, a gift from my ever-thoughtful husband who somehow always knows what my spirit needs.
As I look back, I am overcome with gratitude for this life, this community, and every soul who brings their light to The Craft. Each of you is part of the story, part of the spell, part of what makes all of this possible.
You’ve made this season unforgettable, and my heart overflows with thanks.
May your days be filled with the same kind of magick we shared this weekend. ✨
I didn’t get many photos as we were busy orchestrating everything, so if you have any pictures from the wedding or the party, please share them with us. I’d love to see the magick through your eyes.
Facebook was being a little tricky with tags, so if you’d like to be tagged, just leave a comment below and I’ll add you.
