About Us
Hey there, fellow Earthlings! My name is Dulcie, I'm a Taurus, a total Earth sign (and all that entails!), and I’m here to sprinkle a little magick into your self-care routine. You know, the kind of magick that makes you feel like a pampered potato after a long day of adulting. Seriously, who knew being a Taurus meant I’d be a connoisseur of cozy vibes and luxurious bath products? (Spoiler alert: I did, and here's why...!)
About 10 years ago, my Mom and I were founding members of our local Farmer's Market. Every Sunday from Mother's Day to Halloween, I would sell my all-natural bath and body products and she would sell delicious homemade baked goods, dog treats and canned goods like jellies and salsa. When Covid hit and our little market decided not to open for the season, we were devastated. We really enjoyed meeting new customers every week, and seeing old ones come back and visit. It WAS nice to have our Sundays free again (not gonna lie - no more 5am wake-up calls for us!), but we missed it terribly. When the market did reopen, they were only allowing meat and produce vendors. Well, since that's not us, we were forced to give up our little venture. Unfortunately, there were no other Sunday markets in our area, and as a Kitchen Designer I worked every Saturday already.
Fast-forward to July of 2024, when I attended my first ever Gettysburg Battlefield Bash as a guest. I solo-travel quite often, and since I live very close to Gettysburg, it's become a stomping grounds of sorts and a favorite among my destinations. The people were amazing, the entire convention was top-notch and I came home with the gut feeling that something big was brewing for me - I just didn't know what it was yet.
Since I am a subscriber to the tenet that everything happens for a reason, and I do not believe in coincidences, I knew that I was meant to be at that Bash, at that precise time. That Sunday night, while trying to fall asleep, I entered that twitchy stage that isn't quite a dream. I literally jolted up, scared the shit out of my dog, and could see my next steps like a neon sign blinking frantically across my forehead. I knew what I had to do. I had to revamp my old Farmer's Market business, but with a new slant towards all things magickal, astrological and paranormal. Oh, did I mention that I'm also a paranormal investigator??
Within the next 48 hours, I had a business name, a domain, the start of a logo and a solid foundation for how I wanted to present my new product line. I also reached out to Pam Barry, who runs the Gettysburg Battlefield Bash, and asked if she had room for me to be a vendor in 2025. She said yes, and the rest is history! With my first show officially booked, I got down to the nitty gritty of starting up Terra Magicks.
One of my "must-haves" was a signature item that was symbolic of myself and my journey. The Raven you see embedded into my loofah bar soaps even has a story of its own. My friends spoke of spirit animals, but I felt lost and stuck, because nothing seemed to fit ME. I took online tests and quizzes, but they all came back as a bear or turkey. Umm...no offense to bears and turkeys, but you guys just don't float my boat.
During that same twitchy night after the Bash, my epiphany also showed me that my animal was none other than the Raven. In a superficial kind of way, it made sense because I love Poe and I am a Baltimore Ravens fan. But it goes much deeper than that for me. I see them all the time in the rural area where I live, but never connected the dots. Ravens symbolize the unknown, and what is more of an unknown than the scary prospect of starting a new business? In mythology, Ravens are messengers to the Gods, and while I am more spiritual than religious, I felt like I was being sent a message overload. Ravens are also creatures of metamorphosis and change (well, duh - who's making some big-ass changes over here? Heyyy...!). While some view Ravens as harbingers of death, they also embody rebirth, wisdom and intuitive guidance. In my case, the death of the old business and the rebirth of something better.
And this is what I offer to all of you...Terra Magicks, a place where you can enjoy the mystical benefits of embracing YOU, with all-natural bath and self-care products. The more I research the zodiac, the elements and the 7 chakras, the more I realize just how scarily accurate they are in telling the story of who we are. We all know the benefits of aromatherapy, but did you ever stop and wonder why you are drawn to certain scents? Why do you feel grounded when you're breathing in the crisp forest air? Why is it that just the feel of the sand between your toes calms you in a way nothing else can?
If you have a minute, I encourage you to take a gander through the info on my home page. Look up your zodiac sign, and from there, your element sign and your chakra. Our products are meant to enhance you at your core, to help you relax, refresh and balance what you may not realize needs balancing. Life is too short to stay on "stuck".
Enjoy Terra Magicks, and Memento Mori my friends!
Much love, Dulcie
