And now for something completely different!

http://www.mysticwicks.com/mwmarket/

The MW Market is open! That is right. Our online store is finally up and running and we currently have over 1100 products with great prices and new products are being added daily. DAILY! This is not an auction and this is not used or resale stuff. This is not a place where you are buying from other members (use the MW Marketplace/auctions for that). This is an online store with actual stock! We ship via USPS Priority (with delivery confirmation where available) for a low fee of only $7.95 no matter how many products you order...anywhere in the United States! And our international shipping prices are VERY reasonable. So, if you are going to buy any kind of Pagan/Spiritual related products from altar cloths to wands and Tarot cards to athames then shop at the MW Market!! Here is the link:

Thank you all so much for all of your support!

Yay! Stuff to buy! ~goes to look~

[Vesta Dawn]

~wince~ Ack. Sobek. Not Sobeck. And Anubis, not Anibus.

[Vesta Dawn]

I have a question, too. What is the policy on shipping athames to people in states that don't allow double-edged knives? (Like Massachusetts.) Do you still ship them, figuring it's a don't-ask-don't-tell kind of thing, or do you not sell them to people in those states?

[Deranged Hermit]

Oh boy! Shopping! :boing: Must go see...

[Vesta Dawn]

Ooooh, I love the Om bookmark. I think I'm going to get that for someone for Solstice this year.

[Childof_theMorrigan]

OOOoooo drooling over the tree of life box and the chakras calendar...

[Crimson Mage]

If I might answer Vesta's question. It is not illegal to ship them to Mass - (as a store owner herre I can verify that fact. What the law truly states is that you can not carry it down the street unless its in an locked case. Simple as that.

[Shanti]

There should be a disclaimer for the Salvia Divinorium.
It can not be sold to some countries.
Salvia Divinorum is prohibited in Australia, South Korea, Denmark, Italy and Belgium, period!
And 2 states I believe also have laws for it. There is a in an ad on the Market site:
"is unscheduled & legal to possess." Not totally true, depends on location.

Oh and I smoke so was looking at that section, what? No shisha?

All right... but then, what's the reasoning behind closing down those two stores in a mall in Taunton that sell double-edged knives? I only caught it briefly on the news the other day. I'm not trying to be ornery, I'm just confused and seeking clarification because I'd like to buy one, but I don't want to get in trouble, either.

Vesta Dawn,

I have found many things stating it is illegal to carry double bladed knives but I have not been able to find any information stating that it is illegal to purchase them.

Also from the same link:

or similar effect as metallic knuckles, shall be punished....(continued in link)



It doesn't list double bladed knives as illegal to manufacture or sell. Also, I have not found anywhere that it states it is illegal to possess them.



I think we're safe. I'll keep researching it and I will verify with the distributor but for now I'm going to assume we are OK.



Shanti, I'll do some research on that too to make sure we're covered. Thanks!

[GEBS]

I also wanted to mention that new things are being added every day but if you are looking for something that we have not added yet please let either mol or me know (I'd prefer if you contacted me instead of mol in for this). We'll do our best to find it and add it for you. We have received some great feedback so far with great suggestions on what else you guys would like to see in the store. Keep it coming.

Vesta....here's exactly what you can and cannot do......

Lets start with the two stores. they werent shut down because they carried double edged knives .. they were shut down because they carry throwing stars, nunchucks, and other forms of illegal weapons.

There has been a fallacy in our state for many years, and here is how it happened, and what the law actually states is and is not possible.

Back about 15 yrs ago a person bought an athame from a store. This person stabbed and killed someone with it in a fight. The Police traced the athame back through the store to the distributor (hint -- distributor initials are AG). The state atty gave the company a choice-- defend itself in court, or agree to no longer sell athames in MA. The company chose the latter and began to proclaim on its site "not available in Massachusetts" (note this does NOT say "ILLEGAL in Massachusetts", or illegal to SELL in Massachusetts"). Other companies caught wind of what this company did, and followed suit figuring that the company knew what it was doing in its own state. And the company never mentioned WHY they did it (I wouldnt either- why give sales way to competitors?).

Now, here's what the law is:

You may NOT carry a blade longer than 3.5 inches (single or double edged - that doesnt matter) on your person, in your vehicle, or anywhere else you have access to USE it at any time. It is not illegal to purchase one, nor is it illegal to possess it in your home. Its also not illegal to sell one. Here is the way it has to be done (if you wished to take it to a private ritual etc). You MUST carry it in a locked box (briefcase, metal box, anything that preventsd you from having easy access to it). This box MUST be locked, and not on the front seat of your car for example (in the trunk would be appropriate if you were to travel with it). the law is aimed at preventing someone from walking down the street carrying this item, or having it hidden on their person (for obvious reasons).

My source for this info? My business partner, who is a Deputy Sheriff for Bristol County Mass. I hope this helps you out.......

[Midnight Siren]

Very cool....I'll have to make an order in the near future (too many bills this month though :ugh:

[Madame De La Mort]

Whoot, shopping!

[Suzette]

Wanted to purchase some cone incense, but nothings up. Aside from making my own for ritual, I like to have cones to burn in my cauldron for everyday...

Any word on the incense inventory?? :)

[GEBS]

I'll see what I can add for you today. :)

[Suzette]

Yippee skippy :) Thanks GEBS.

Here's a start for you. I'll work tonight on getting more in there. :)

[Suzette]

OOoo, the small Madagascar quartz crystal ball... Is it cloudy? Are there inclusions or is it clear???

Just might have to pop that in my basket as well ;)

[Suzette]

I just bought a bunch of cone incense! WHEE!!!

*wishes it could be delivered now*

:abored:

[Suzette]

And here it is October 1st and I still don't have my order. Hmmm..... Wondering if any other's have had this problem?

Not MW, but flakey vendor perhaps? I've tried contacting to no avail. Hate having to bug MW/GEBS/Mol for info...

[Suzette]

Yup, it's official. I officially got ripped off by the Thrifty Pagan. Didn't take me for more than 30 bux, but still. Very glad I didn't pop for that crystal ball I wanted. Glad mol finally pulled the store off too...

Telephone number that goes to nowhere, loser who doesn't return emails (mine or mols), but that's ok because my bank is going after him and he's been reported to the folks at the National Online Fraud Center, who are going to check him out as well.

Let's not even go to the bad karma this doopwad is going to face... Good times!

I feel horrible about this. I did pull the site offline, but I think one more order went through before I did. I don't know what happened. TP was filling orders for us and then they just stopped. :(

[Suzette]

So not your fault, mol - you and I have been over that... I just wanted to come in and vent.

I like the word doopwad, it goes nicely with f'tard, another favorite for describing ASSHOLES who rip people off.

He'll get his. For sure... Rip off a witch? ;)
