Magikal Inks...
*
I'm sure we all wish that we could make the magikal inks that you see in Pagan-themed stores.
Now you can!
The magikal inks are exceptional to use for spells, incantations, or other charms.
They are designed so that when used, after the alcohol in the ink dries, the scent of the oils and other herbal ingredients is noticeable on the paper.
Because these magikal inks are made from only natural ingredients, separation may occur.
This is normal.
Please make sure to shake well before use.
