February Incense and More!

Happy February!  We have some wonderful updates for you.  Here is something from the Incense Guru, Dr. Seth!

The Woodstock Trading Company February Incense is #102, Jah Love.  Jah Love is a beautifully balanced, light, sweet, earthy champa incense.  It makes a wonderful addition for any champa lover.  The unburned stick has a lightly sweet dry fruit note.  There is a subtle hint of marshmallow.  The burned stick is where it all comes together.  That marshmallow note stays around in lovely toasted form.

Jah Love is a great addition for a romantic night…

Jah Love Incense. Available in 15 gram packs.

For the past few weeks, we have been running a promotional for our beads.  Tomorrow is the last day to get 10% off all the beads, with the exception of any hand blown bead or pendant.  This is great for any jewelry maker, especially if they want to make a gift for Valentine's Day!

Ritual Candles

Woodstock Trading Company has been the Rock n’ Roll & Dead-center of South Jersey for over 25 years, supplying the community for all of their classic rock needs. But Woodstock offers more than rock n’ roll items. As many know, Dr. Seth has put together an immense collection of incense from around the world, catering to incense lovers. MOM and Seth have also assembled a wonderful bead selection for the local jewelry makers. However, many do not know that we have also been working hard to make available items for those in spiritual communities. 

Seth, for many years, has supplied spiritual individuals with incense for their prayers and ceremonies. We have Dragon’s Blood resin for those of the Wicca and Pagan faiths, sage for smudging, and Tibetan and Buddhist prayer incense. Local artists have also made rosaries and other prayer beads for the store. After taking suggestions from our community, and some consideration on the best ways to put things in motion, we are happy to announce that we now carry Ritual/Chime Candles. You might be wondering what a ritual/chime candle is.

Woodstock Trading Company Ritual Candle Selections

Standing around 4 inches tall, a ritual/chime candle resembles a standard taper candle. They generally burn for around 2 hours and work well for prayers and ceremonies for faiths like Wicca. Each candle is a different color, having a different use or meaning. 

These candles are $0.50 each. The list of colors and meanings (may vary) are as followed:

Valentine's Ideas 2015

Love is in the air… At least, around the corner… Valentine’s Day is coming up, and people are on the search for that perfect gift for their loved one. Woodstock Trading Company has been supplying sweethearts with gifts and suggestions since 1988, and we aren’t stopping now. 

One of the main points for many Valentine’s shoppers is price.  It is a great day to treat your significant other to something romantic, but many cannot afford lavish gifts and dinners.  Some like to do things on the simple side.  If you tell us what you are looking for and what you like to do, we will try our best to find you the perfect gifts.  We have wonderful incense and candle options, as well as perfumes, jewelry, and drink ware.  

Do you want to do a nice candlelight dinner?  Woodstock Trading Company has a nice selection of lightly scented votive candles.  If you want to go bigger, we have fluorescent and multicolor drip candles.

Multicolor Drip Candle Multi-pack

Finish that bottle of wine and pop a candle into the wine bottle. You can use that bottle over and over again, adding a new candle each time, and creating a beautiful decoration for your table.

Burned Multicolor Drip Candle

If you need some glass to pour the wine in, we have a lovely selection of wine glasses, as well as champagne flutes.  You will find different styles, like Bob Marley, Grateful Dead, and Peace.

For those Rock n’ Roll fans who like to sit back and cuddle, we have warm rock band fleece and throw blankets, like Sublime and Janis Joplin.  If you want some romantic fragrances in the air, we have incense like Satya Romance and, an old favorite, Jah Love.  Jah Love is a beautifully balanced, light, sweet, earthy champa incense...a wonderful addition for any lover.  To save on the mess, we have special incense burner bowls. MOM and Seth make each bowl on the pottery wheel.  They are one of a kind and made with love. To make sure they could be used with different types of incense, the holder is enlarged for types like Tibetan incenses. 

Handmade Incense Burners

Sometimes you want to have a fragrance on the go.  If you are looking for something that is travel-ready, we have our selections of roll-on perfumes.  A February favorite is Auric Blends’ “Love” and “Lover’s Moon” perfume.  “Love” is a touch of Egyptian Goddess (Egyptian Goddess blends musk with soft floral notes) combined with white amber, white musk and woods, while is a heady mix of gardenia, rose and heliotrope to provide sweet floral notes at the top, with sandalwood and musk as the base.  These are two wonderful options, always popular with the ladies, but they are also gain popularity with a male customers. 

If you are looking for that perfect gift, come on in or visit our website.  Some items are not available online, like the wine glasses, drip candles, and incense burner bowls.  If there is something you would like to order, send us an email to wtc@woodstocktradeco.com, visit our contact page, or give us a call at (856) 424-6166.

Olde English Witch Balls

Legend has it; Witch Balls were hung in the windows of English homes during the 18^th century. They were uses to ward off evil spirits and cleanse the area of bad fortune. The usage remains the same in present day life. 

Traditionally when a new glass studio is assembled, the first object that is made is a witch ball. They are usually created in a hot shop (Furnace Work). The spokes inside the glass orb are the home the witch. Once the bad spirits filter through the glass they will get snagged on the spokes and the witch ball, and the witch will zap all the negative spirits away.

Seth and I have been blowing glass and love to share some of the history and lore of the craftsman who make wonderful handmade items. We have introduced these items into our store and have them in three sizes 2 inch, 6 inch and small personal pendant size. They are handmade items and we have a select number of them in the One Of A Kind section of our website.

Since we have had these witch balls in Woodstock Trading Company’s store, there seems to be only positive vibrations at all times in our environment at all times...

October Happenings At Woodstock

September 27^th 2014 was just a wonderful day for me.  Not only was it may birthday bash it was also our annual garlic festival.  Thank you Kris Noyes Trio for all the wonderful music and setting the mood for our next garlic crop.  I would also like to thank our buddy, Andre Gardner, and the 102.9 WMGK team for coming out to celebrate with us as well. 

We will be planting our next crop in about two weeks and I hope to get photos from all of you who have our garlic bulbs as to when you see some growth.  It still gets me so excited when I see the garlic growing in the winter.

We have so much going on this week.  Hope you can join in person for our incense lecture, and if not, you can go to YouTube and Google Hangouts for either the live stream or for the video portion of Dr. Seth’s talk.  Friday, our wire wrap teacher is in from 4:30-6:30 followed by our drum circle.  We like to energize crystals in the full moon and we have put our water out to be in the full moon in time for the drum circle.  This is a very special moon since it is the harvest or blood moon and there will be an eclipse at the time of the full moon. What make this eclipse and full moon unique is the fact that you will be able to see the sun rise and moon at the same time.  Hopefully you can join us.

As if that is not enough, on Saturday, Jugband perform at our Mad Hatter’s Lawn Concert.  This concert is in honor of Monstro.  He resembles the Cheshire cat with his large round eyes and abundant body type.  We recommend adorning oneself with an appropriate hat for this party. 

On October 25^th we will have a Halloween Concert featuring Suburban Sensi and we recommend costumes for this special event, however, dressing as a hippie does not qualify as a costume.

Without you, there are no parties…please join us…MOM

Mom's 4th of July Thoughts

Looking forward to the 4^th of July.  It is another holiday where you do not have to be stressed about purchasing gifts or any obligations.  I love working on these holidays!!  Woodstock has been opened for 26 years and is family friendly in many ways.  Kids who were in our store when it opened are now parents and also grandparents.  We have had the pleasure of seeing these generations in our store over the years.  However, many of you have moved away and it is during the holidays that people return to see family members who still live in the Delaware valley.  Seth has been announcing HAPPY HOURS on different days and he says we will do a HAPPY DAY for the 4^th by giving a 10% discount on any purchases for this day….  I will be in the store on the 4^th from 11-3pm…please if you are in the area come in and say HI MOM!!
