WIZARD TIME & SACRED SPACE — HOW WE SHIP

This is not a fulfillment center. This is a home, a working temple, and a small family doing our best to keep all the lamps lit.

We want to be as transparent as possible about what that means for shipping—especially in a year that has already seen hospitals, floods, and every kind of delay the material world can conjure.

THE SHORT VERSION

• We ship at a sacred, human pace.  
• Handmade items take time.  
• “Wizard Time” is always in effect.  

If handmade timing works for you, we would be honored to craft something for your altar. If you need guaranteed rapid delivery on a tight deadline, we would rather be honest now than disappoint you later.

WHAT “SACRED, HUMAN PACE” ACTUALLY LOOKS LIKE

Most of our work follows this rhythm:

1. Preparation  
   Oils, baths, candles, and talismans are either made in advance in small batches or prepared to order. In both cases, they are prayed over, assembled, and labeled by hand—often with kids doing homework at the next table.  

2. Altar Time  
   Finished items spend time on the working altar for blessing, petition, and alignment with the larger Work we’re doing as a household and community.  

3. Packing  
   Orders are pulled, wrapped, and boxed by one person (occasionally two) who is also juggling cooking, caregiving, and temple work. There are no conveyor belts; there is a lot of tape and paper and care.

4. Drop-Off  
   Packages go out in batches. We aim for weekly post office runs and do our best to keep things moving, but the exact day your box leaves us depends on where it falls in the flow.

WIZARD TIME

We borrow our shipping philosophy from an old wizardly saying:

“A wizard is never late, nor early—he arrives precisely when he means to.”

In practical terms, that means:

• We don’t promise specific arrival dates.  
• We’d rather underpromise and quietly exceed expectations than rush, cut corners, or lie to you.  
• If known disruptions arise (storms, illness, construction, more flooding), we’ll communicate as clearly as we can.

A NOTE ON RESPECT

The same way we respect your money and trust, we ask for respect in return for the reality of this work. There is no warehouse staff to yell at, no customer service floor to escalate to. There is just us.

If that kind of relationship feels good and human to you, welcome. If not, there are many other options—that’s truly okay.

However our paths cross, may the timing of what you need be blessed.
