Romantic Love

In Celebration of Romantic Love

Romantic love is one of the great engines of civilization.

It pushes us to dizzying heights of creativity and kindness. It nurtures empathy and inspires self sacrifice. And, yes, it occasionally makes passionate fools of us all.

The world encourages cynicism when it comes to romantic love. We are told it is a thing for fairy tales and daydreams, not for sensible people.

Luckily, magic shops are not a place for sensible people.

We’re here for love in all its wonderful and absurd glory.

Here you will find sensuous candles and books of romance from the unrequited to the scandalous. Here are instruments for crafting poems and songs, and for writing promises of passion. Here are tools for purifying ablutions and for enchanting the private moments that remind us that the love of self matters at least as much as the love of others.

You’ve still got time for some Valentine’s Day shopping.
