The Spirit Cove

LOVE • COMPASSION • SELF-LOVE

Rose Quartz is the stone of universal love. It assists in reawakening the heart to its innate love, allowing one to find love for themselves and for others. It also helps to bring about a deep sense of contentment, and fulfillment. 

This stone carries a feminine energy, encouraging compassion, peace, and healing; and also helps to promote trust and harmony in relationships. 

Approx. 6.5cm in diameter. Each crystal is unique and may look slightly different than the sphere pictured.

The highly anticipated Alleyman's Tarot made history as the most funded and backed tarot Kickstarter ever. This truly unique deck contains 137 mismatched cards to create a one-of-a-kind tarot deck. This deck is a one-time print only so now is your best chance to get a copy of this limited edition deck.

With 137 cards, there is certainly some strangeness to the deck. It contains all of the Major Arcarnas, including 9 Deaths, 2 Devils, 2 Suns, a Tower series of 3 cards (the Tower, the House of God, and the Horizon), allowing you to personalise the deck and choose your favourite or use multiple to embrace specific meanings. There are also the Minor Arcana cards (some of which also have more than one card to choose from/use), a Strange Suit, Second Acarna cards, and more non-traditional cards. Each card in this deck was chosen by the Alleyman because they bring in important new angles to your readings. 

With additional variations for select Major and Minor Arcanas, the addition of non-traditional Second Acarnas, and a Strange Suit, you can pick and choose cards to form a truly unique and personalised tarot deck that you connect with. The Alleyman Tarot is a wonderful display deck, certainly, but it's also the most unique deck to use in your divinatory practice as well.

The Alleyman’s Tarot Set includes:

• 137 card deck, standard tarot size 2.75" x 4.75", 330 gsm Black Core German card stock. Cards have their unique, original card-backs, and some have foil or edge gilding, or both.
• Guidebook including the meanings of all the cards in the deck (and those from the Booster Packs), full-colour, spiral-bound 5" x 8" size

A Wooden Cigar Box to hold your Alleyman's Tarot cards and an Alleyman's Tarot Cloth (60x60cm) can be purchased separately.

An artifact from the real world, the Alleyman Tarot was made with the kindness of many other artists. It is made up of cards licensed from other real-world tarot decks; cards originally designed by artists and Seven Dane Asmund of Publishing Goblin for the deck, and standalone cards from older tarot decks, now public domain. This deck comes with a special guide made specifically for this deck, written by the Alleyman himself, explaining the intricacies of the deck and the purpose of its many cards.

Note: Not all cards contained in this deck are shown in the images of this listing.

We are grateful for the journey of cacao to make her way to the hands and hearts of us here in Aotearoa. Shade-grown amongst the flowers and fruits, this cacao is nourishing the local growing community as much as it is you. Let each brew guide you back to yourself, in the delicious, nurturing, and gentle way cacao does. May your heart shine in wholeness!

CACAO KEEPER – PURE CACAO

For us, ceremonial cacao is about intention and devotion. Each component of this cacao has been a refinement over a few years. It is only now that we have a source of cacao that is in full alignment with our beliefs of living in harmony with nature. This cacao is different than what you would pick up from your local shop and that is due to a few things: the source of cacao, the intention behind making the product in the first place, and the intended use of the product. Cacao Keeper intends that you will prepare, and drink your cacao as a time to deepen your connection to self, others and/or nature. This is you creating ceremony for yourself.

This is our 100% Pure Cacao – the real deal when it comes to cacao and her medicine. This is the solid form of certified organic cacao, before it is further refined and separated into cacao powder and cacao butter. It has the perfect (just as nature made it) ratio of all that cacao is. Due to this purity, it creates a rich and creamy cacao, with only water needed (and a little sweetener if you want that).

ORIGIN

This cacao is grown in Tocache Region, Peru. It's 100% organic and shade-grown under a natural agroforestry canopy and of the native strain Criollo. What this means, is that this cacao supports the restoration of native strains and sustainable agricultural practices. 

This source is also known as 'Rescue Cacao' and has rescued farmers and families from turning to illegal crop farming just to make a decent wage. This cacao is cultivated in native jungle, the way it has been done for thousands of years. It's hand-picked, blessed in ceremony, and supported with ancestral knowledge and ancient tools to help you better connect. 

This cacao has been tested for heavy metals.

HOW TO PREPARE

• Take your special cacao cup and measure out the required water (or plant-based milk) per serve (200ml)
• Add to a pot to warm
• Grate off approx. 2 heaped tablespoons of cacao (per 200ml serve)
• Blend together cacao and warm water and add natural sweetener/spice of your choice
• Return to the pot to heat further and infuse with love
• Pour into cup, set an intention if you feel called and enjoy!

This wooden charcoal burner has a grill and lid and is perfect for burning herbs, resins, and loose incense.

Purchase charcoal disks to use with it.

Charcoal disks can be used for burning herbs, resins, and loose incense. Use with a charcoal burner, heatproof dish, or cauldron.

These tablets are quick lighting. They come in a sealed foil roll with 10x charcoal disks 33mm in diameter.

How to use

• Get your burner or heatproof dish ready. If using a heat-proof bowl, add salt or sand to the base to disperse the heat and improve burning efficiency. 
• Hold the charcoal disk with a pair of tongs and hold the flame of a lighter, a match or a candle to it. You will hear a slight crackle sound once the disk is ignited (and you may notice it beginning to go grey around the edges). I recommend doing this part outside or in a well-ventilated area as the charcoal may smoke for about one minute to begin with. 
• Place the charcoal disc on your burner or heatproof dish and sprinkle a small amount of herbs, resin or loose incense on top. 
• It will burn for up to 45 minutes. Add more incense and resins as necessary but be careful not to smother it. 
• Ensure ashes are completely distinguished and cold before disposing of.
