MERRY MEET!:

            Merry Meet!  We are Glen and Willow Goldentree, owners and creators of Goldentreewands.com.  We are practicing Wiccans in a small town in Southern California.  Our goal through this website is to give the world a better understanding of Wicca and Witchcraft.  We love when people write and ask for suggestions on books to read or how to consecrate their ritual items.  It makes us feel that we are doing our part to create an understanding that not too many people in our community have.  Wicca is a beautiful religion that is widely misunderstood; we’re trying to change that in our own small way. 

            When you order an item from our website we usually quote a 2-4 week wait.  Some may wonder how it could possibly take so long.  That’s because everything we sell on this site is handmade by the two of us.  Nothing is mass-produced which is why certain items may have small inconsistencies, but that’s the beauty of our work, these aren’t just ritual tools they are works of art.

Everything is created under the watchful eye of our familiar, Pandora, a cat who truly lives up to her name.  Pandora has taken on the title of boss and shipping box inspector.  She can be very strict at times but it keeps us on our toes.

We’ve just acquired another familiar, a cat whom we’ve dubbed Bandit.  Bandit came to us around Samhain.  He didn’t have a home and was very sick from intestinal worms.  We took him in, kept him separated from Pandora and the next day had a visit with the doc.  We are pleased to announce that he is very healthy and doing quite well!

CONGRATULATIONS:

            Our “Win a Free Athame” contest is over and we have a winner!  Brian, from Ireland won.  He guessed 1618, which was our version of 1.618…the most divine number in all of history, biology, and everything, even the pentacle.  Just a quick note, through our research of this number, the very basic structure of a person’s face is 1.618…when you connect the five starting points on anyone’s face, it creates a pentagram.  Pretty interesting huh?  Starting today, Nov. 10 we have begun our next contest to “Win a Scrying Mirror” which will end on December 21, 2004, Yule.  Visit our website for a chance to win. 

SAMHAIN (Halloween):

            How did you celebrate Samhain?  As Samhain is our most important holiday we spent it having the most wonderful ritual.  We said goodbye to our good friends, family members and pets who have passed.  What a very spiritual evening.  If you’re interested in reading more about our night, click here for our Sabbat journal.

THANK YOU:

            Thank you for your interest in Goldentree Wands and for your support of the Pagan Community.  It is our goal to make you, our friends, feel comfortable, safe and happy while you are visiting our site or getting emails from us.  Please feel free to contact us at anytime for any reason.  We do apologize if some emails don’t get a quick response.  We still have to work full time jobs in order to pay the rent and can’t be monitoring our email box all the time.  We are working on a solution to teach Pandora how to check and respond to emails but that’s slow and tedious work.  Until next time… 

                                                                        Bright Blessings, Happy Tidings and

May the Goddess Bless you all,

Glen, Willow, Pandora and Bandit Goldentree
