Merry Meet Steve and Heather,

I had to write and say today she arrived, i am so amazed with it, i can not believe all the age detail this book has! It is without a doubt my best and most treasured tool. It was so worth the wait. I never thought i would be able to afford a custom bos but with your help it was doable. thank you so much for all you did for me, i am a customer for life.

Ok I have to say OH MY GOSH................ Or rather OH MY GODDESS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It came and i can not believe i own such an amazing book. I always dreamed of this old book that I would find in some old Antique store, well i got the book but I did not need to go to some old Antique shop to find it! I am so amazed by your work and time involved in the book, it was so worth the wait. This book has taught me patience and that quality takes time, I am most impressed with the color and detail of the book, i know i was on the edge about color and leaving it up to you was the right thing to do as it came out wonderful. I will cherish it as will my children for ages. Many Blessings to you and yours.

I got my book!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! All I can say is I am in love... My  BOS arrived in time for Samhain ( thank you) I just feel the magic coming from it. It smells so good and feels so right! It is what I dreamt of and more.
It seems so old and i am more than pleased with the closure. I do not know how you do it but this book beats anything i have found, and believe me i have seen them all! Others just do not have the same feeling, nice as they may be.  I feel like i have come home to Witches Moon!!

Love and Light
Mary

Greetings!

I just wanted to write you and tell you how marvelous my book is. I received it a couple of days ago and it was like welcoming an old friend. It's so beautiful I can't stop holding it and simply enjoying the rich colors, textures and the sweet smell of it. Even my cat , Nikodemus, who partakes in all of my rituals seemed unusually fond of it. The first night I fell asleep with it next to me on my bed and awoke to my cat laying curled up on top of it. He has sense stayed near it when I have it out. I can both see and feel the wonderful energy you used to create such a wonderful piece that I will cherish forever. I really feel as though it has a spirit of it's own that has pulled me to it and become a wonderful friend. Thank you so much for getting it to me before my move came up. I've attached two pictures of my cat with my book.

 Blessed Be! ~Katrina

Ok so i am in love. The book arrived today and oh my Goddess!!!!!!!!!! It was so worth the wait. I LOVE the ageing you do to the leather, marbled papers and everything. Thing is I am so impatient and I hate to think of waiting for my book to look old. I bought from you because i wanted an old book. Steve was so helpful and I love my gift!! it means a lot that you think of your customers as you do.

 

Blessed Be

Hello,

 

I am emailing you about the custom Book of Shadows that I purchased from you as a gift for my wife.  I ordered it for her in August and it arrived just after her birthday a few weeks ago, which fell exactly into the estimated delivery time.  I just wanted to extend how happy she (and I) is with the book a quality of the product.  I am a sword and knifesmith and have an appreciation for the effort it takes when working with organic materials (leather, etc) and was impress with the consistency of the covering and binding.  Im sure my wife will enjoy this piece for many years.

 

Ive included a pic of the Athame I made for her as gift last year, so the book is a fitting companion.

 

Thank you again for a wonderful product.

 

Sincerely,

Jason Dingledine

Dear Witchesmoon,

  I am stunned by the looks of the book of shadows. When I opened the book, the smell was so sweet! i got my book last Thursday which would be Sept. 28, 2006. The Witchesmoon family is a very talented family. But the book does not leave the house because I don't want to lose it or anybody stealing it. And again, thank you very much!

 

                                                    Blessed be,

                                                              Jonathan

 

-- Our greatest Compliments to Heather Stephen and Arrianna Raven,

 

From all of us at Merlin's Magic

 

I just want to add to this comment section to say that how happy we are to have the experience of adding many of the beautifully crafted products of Witches Moon to the shelves of Merlin's Magic. In our years of experience with the rare craft of esteemed binders of BOSs (in all the remote corners of the globe) Heather and Stephen you are so amazingly talented that we consider you to be on the top of the list.

 

 The Books we have on display right now are so popular that we had to devote an entire large glass antiqued case just for them to protect them from potential damage due to the fact that nearly all persons that enter our space want to gaze over them and touch them! They are mesmerizing with all the beautiful art that you have adorned them with. The symbolic art, leather and binding quality, size ability and thick amount of perfect parchments should be a lesson in view, to all considering an artisan crafted BOS or Grimiore. We truly appreciate the blend of your abilities with our Old World Celt inspirational goals. I could write much more appreciative thoughts about the books but I would like to spare some bandwidth for your beautiful besoms and Arrianna's fabulous Spell Oils that are just perfect (their scent, the moon phase blend including the herbs and gems and added to the beautiful potion bottles). I can't imagine a Witch wanting or needing more! The energy given to Arrianna's products is also matched artistically and lovingly created.

 

 For the fact that these items are only gracing Merlin's Magic for a temporary time until they find their rightful owners, I have to say that we even turned a bit of a pout while getting only a glance at Arrianna's beautiful spirit-board creation due to the fact that it's rightful owner was only a few minutes away!

 

To Heather and any helping hands that may help to facilitate your modern day magic shipping process, we want to extend a huge thank you, as I know with us being at a Renaissance Faire that you have performed great shipping magic in the first part of our season. But Heather this recent one was a mountain moving manifestation! I don't know and can't imagine how you did it but it has inspired me to learn in an apprentice shipping magic course! THANK YOU!!!!!!

 
Brightest Success and Good Health Blessings from,
 
Vivian ~ The Lady Of The Lake ~ aka Lisa

Recommendation

 
Loose paper, disks and documents, plastic folders, I have them all. Twenty years worth of study, thought, passion, and spirituality. However; time has taught me this, loose papers get lost, disks and computers go out of date and crash, and plastic folders fall to ruin.
 
My book is the custom circler Dragon (see above), I picked the design and they made it reality. They even answered all my nagging e-mails with calmness. My book weighs 15 pounds, and by the Gods it will last through the test of time. It was made to fit my ideal and that, my friends, isn’t something one can ever get from a mass-produced item. That is a gift that can only be given by those with a talent and love for their work. You can’t buy talent and love, you can only be blessed when you find it, and as you can see from my book above, I was so blessed.   
 
My book literally hums with energy, during it’s blessing it became a part of me, and I know it will be my friend for a lifetime.
 
I haven’t received a ‘book’- I have received my herald to future generations.  
 
Thank you Heather and Stephen.
Many blessings upon you both and your craft.
Atricia

ability and craftsmanship. Thank you again.

Well, on May 25th my mother passed from cancer and June 2nd was my 49th birthday. My books were here right around that time and I couldn't believe the beauty and craftsmanship. When my custom book showed up it brought me to tears. My mother was the reason I started on this path at 30 because she shared a story with me about her mother being full blood Irish and reading tarot when she was alive. I started reading about the Celtic beliefs and here I am 19 yrs later. The day I got my custom book I dedicated it to my mother and her family line. I couldn't have found a better way to honor her memory and with the beauty of this book I am proud of where I come from and what I can leave behind for anyone who wishes to know who Shasta Rose and her daughter Paula Rose were in this life. My book is a sacred part of my journey and I will it cherish always! Thank you so much for the hard work and love that is obvious you put into your art of bookmaking. I shared my books with one of my friends and he couldn't believe how beautiful they were. He didn't have to tell me that....
I ALREADY KNEW!!!!
Love and Blessings to you,
Lady D (Paula Rose)

 

 

Dear Witches Moon,
 
I wanted to send you this note to let you know how very happy i was with you and how you handled my order. Even though i needed to send the book back to be changed a bit you never said a word, you took care of my crazy requests and in such a professional way. I never dreamed it would be as lovely and masterful as it is. The fact that you took such good care of me even though i wanted some things changed amazed me as most would be like whatever oh well. Thank you so much for the work or art i will hand down to my children and hopefully they will hand it down as well. Your attitude is far better than most anyone i have ever met and i thanky ou for your kindness. Please send my deepest thanks to all in yor company. i look foward to ordering my Sisters book.
 
Many Blessings to you and yours,
Samantha Rayson
 
 
Heather and Stephen,
 
What a great day!!  I stopped by my mom's to take her out shopping this morning and upon our return we found the book on her front porch!!
This book is my Christmas present, but my mother insisted I take a look. 
Well, I opened it and I cried.  I cried because it is so beautiful and I just couldn't believe I finally had this treasure.  It was 100 times more beautiful than I expected!!! 
I can't wait to use it and when I am old and gray...I will hand it down and leave this world with my beliefs.  Oh, what joy!!
Now, the unfortunate thing is that my sweet mother made me put it back in the box and I have to wait for Christmas Eve!! 
Oh well...ha ha!
You have made my Yule Season! 
Thank you so very much for your beautiful craftsmanship -- you truly are blessed with a very special talent.  And from speaking with you on the phone...I can tell you are a jewel!!
I noticed from the return address on the book box that we live very close.  We have the same zip.  We live off of Eastfield Road.  Small world, huh?
Again thank you so much!!!
I pray you and yours have a very special Yule Season...happy holidays...merry Christmas....or whatever you choose...we are all in this world together and ain't it great!! 
God/Goddess Bless you and many bright Blessings~

Bright Greetings,

I want to thank you Heather for an absolutely wonderful creation of magick.  The journal is beyond my expectations and your craftsmanship to even small details is superb.  I really liked the added touch of the cover that you had around the journal and the ribbon that was sealed with a wax droplet.  Thank you again for the CD set.  That was very kind of you to purchase this for me as a gift.  Also, I would like to thank Arianna Raven for the kindness that was demonstrated in replying to my email and for shipping this package to me.  Thank you both so much!  I am very pleased!

Blessings,
Terry
 
 
 
 
Hello,
 I just received the book, and it is a thing of
beauty...I was very impressed, it is precisely what I
envisioned.  In a word, Awesome.  I will probably look
to buy another in the near future, possibly right
after the new year, the one I'm eyeing is the
Practical Magic replica with the second book
section...

 I'll send you a note when I'm ready.

Thank you!

Hello Heather,
 
The BOS arrived safe and sound yesterday. I was so excited as I opened my package!.
It is beautiful! I truly appreciate the craftmanship and work you put into it. I will cherish it always.  
 
I have waited 7 years before finding the right book to record in. It was well worth the wait.
I am so glad that I found you.
 
Thank you.
 
Have a Blessed Sahmain 
 
Blessed Be,

Words can not express how ecstatic I am with my new BOS.  The Love, Craft & Magick which has gone into creating this treasure is immeasurable.  All of my hopes have been not only satisfied, but completely and irrevocably blown away.  The energies already present within its beautiful handcrafted pages meld in synchronicity with the hand-made letters and symbols on its covers which make this book a custom creation of artists and owner.  If you are a practicing Witch, Wiccan, Priestess, Priest, Druid, Shaman, etc. or wish to be, you simply can not go wrong in purchasing a BOS from Witches Moon.  My truest and deepest heartfelt Thanks to you both for making this amazing spirit come to life!

Blessings of the Goddess to you!

Dear Isilwen/Heather
 
I a so happy I got my book the other day and it was like magick just leaped from the box! It was so powerful feeling I was just taken back with it. I could feel the book vibrating with energy and the fact that a Witch made it for me made me that much happier. I am so in love with it and so thankful to you and Your sole mate Fingolfin/Stephen for the amazing work you do. Tuly there are no words i can say to you to express how happy we are. I honestly did not know what i would get but i was blown away and trust me that is soo hard to do! To have such powerful magick mix with my own is sucha blessing, I look foward to Samhain to bless it further. You have a customer for life!
 
Blessed Be

Thank you!

Hi, Heather! You have no idea how happy you made us today! We sat there forever, looking at the books and paging through them, over and over. There are no words to tell you how we feel! Thank you SO MUCH for my new book! It's beautiful, I absolutely love it! I've decided to use it for all my witchy recipes and keep it in the kitchen so it will be right there when I need it. Anna is so thrilled with her book - she was back in the paper bag and I had to turn the ceiling fan on! She made me unwrap it and I held it so she could see everything when I opened it. She was beside herself. Then I held it out to her and I said, 'Here's your book. Now you're whole.' She took it from me and did the same thing I did - she hugged it! We said everything we could to try to express how we felt, but one thing she said, I have to pass on. She said, 'I hope she realizes how wonderful she is.' Maybe you do, but we know we can't put into words how happy you've made us and how much we appreciate you! Thank you so much, is all I can say. We're taking all our books to the sabbat ritual on Sunday and our stack of cards, but we're reserving some for Salem! It was so good to talk to you today, we both love you to death!

Love, Leslie

elodie@zoominternet.net

I was recommended your site, and what a wonderful place it is. I have never seen such lovely (and large - for a change!) B0S - they are truly works of art, and worthy to be handed down in a place of honor in families and circles. I am getting ready to decide on one for myself - to replace my cyber one. I have always longed for something more substantial to hold in my  hands and decorate artistically. I will be sending an order in soon. Thank you for providing such beauty, and I read  your commonsensical and honest comments on the craft and was glad to see such honesty and truth. That was one of the reasons I decided to order from you.

I wish you much success in your business and craft!

Hi Heather,

Helen here, well what can i say?
Shaun completely surprised me when he gave me a large box on my
birthday, i was totally
blown away when i saw the contents. After i had finished crying, kissing
and hugging him, i finally started to go through the book.
WOW, Shaun then told me all about you and how you make the books, i did
not need to be told how much time and effort you had spent on it, the
book speaks for itself. All i can say is you must have a lot of patience
and be very gifted to be able to do them so brilliantly.
I am looking at it now and it still takes my breath away. My son(12years
old) thinks it is fantastic it is all the talk amongst his friends.
Thankyou so much for making it so real
keep up the good work
take care
Helen x
 
 
 
I received the book today - IT IS BEAUTIFUL!!! It was just what I had invisioned. The paper went so well with the book...even though it took forever to come here since it was backordered. The richness of the colors and the softness of the leathers just make this book a work of art. The parchments isn't too overdone on the aging - nothing is too harsh. You did a wonderful job...it was well worth the wait! I hope I didn't harass you too much with all my emails!  It was a pleasure working with you on this creation! And if you are willing...in the near future I will be needing a smaller book done in black - not sure about the design yet. Thanks again for a job well done!!! I will be telling everyone and showing off your wonderful work!

Blessed Be!
Love and light, Anne-Katrin
