Essential Oils Gift Ideas & Updates


Good afternoon everyone!

It is time for an update concerning our Essential Oil & Carrier oil range!

The new list of oils in stock can be accessed via the link listed below:

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1pvT-HlQWhyGLBw0wfdtJpycZj28G-uS8/view?usp=sharing


There are also a four special offers going on at the moment with regards to oils - that's right! FOUR!


1) Essential Oils Gift Set

Usually, this gorgeous handmade mango wood box is sold empty for €20 - but until stock lasts, it will be available pre-filled with 12 of the most popular Essential oils in stock - namely:

Lavender
Ylang Ylang
Cedarwood
Orange
Citronella
Tea tree
Eucalyptus
Peppermint
Corn mint
Spearmint
White Camphor
Cinnamon

As you will notice from the abovementioned list, all of these 12 Essential oils are typically sold for
€4.50 each. This pre-filled gift box would therefore amount to €74 - however, it will now be available for the special price of €65!
 

2) Essentially Essential Gift Set

This set has proven to be pretty popular - to the extent that we are down to the last 1 such set before even launching it officially! Included are a 50ml bottle of Hempseed Oil, a 10ml bottle of Lavender Essential Oil, a 10ml bottle of Tea Tree Essential Oil, and a Lava stone chakra diffuser bracelet. The gift pack comes neatly packed in a black velvet pouch with red ties.

It is priced at  €18
- get in touch if you want to claim it!

 3) Spiritual Booty

I've always been amused by pirate lingo, and the puns that derive from it - so naming this gift set Spiritual Booty was too strong of a temptation not to give in to it!

Inside these adorable treasure chests [typically priced at €5 empty] , one finds 6 XXL Assorted Tumblestones that typically sell for
€4 each, as well as an Ancient Wisdom Essential Oil 10ml bottle from the  €4.50 range.

This miniature chest has a hook clasp, so once it is closed, you don't run the risk of it accidentally opening.

This Gift Set is customisable! Just let us know who it is for, or which crystals and oil you feel would make the perfect combo for the giftee, and we'll put it together for you.

The Spiritual Booty is priced at €25 and will be available until stock lasts.
 

4) Zodiac Gift Set

This one is something I had been wanting to create for quite some time, but, one of the elements that make it up was quite difficult to source - until now!

Each set comes in a Stellar tin, with the quote "Chase Dreams" on the lid, and "... In a sky that had no limits" on the bottom. Included is a necklace with the Zodiac symbol pendant, and an Essential Oil that embodies the traits of that specific star sign. 

🔥 Aries - Corn mint
🌱 Taurus - Cedar wood
🌬 Gemini - Bergamot
💧 Cancer - Lime
🔥 Leo - Clove Leaf
🌱 Virgo - Thyme
🌬 Libra - Lavender
🔥 Scorpio - Cinnamon
💧 Saggitarius - Mandarin
🌱 Capricorn - Peppermint
🌬 Aquarius - Eucalyptus
💧 Pisces - Ylang ylang

The items would typically sell for €19.50, but these gift sets are available in highly limited quantities for the price of €15.

I will be writing up a much more in depth blog post about the essential oils corresponding to the Zodiac signs up shortly. 

All of the above are readily available for this Sunday's Gozo Delivery Day ! 

Now, back to work! I got a new display cabinet for the shop room, and I'm half way done filling it up and re shuffling stock around. Here's a sneak peek 👇


Until next time!

Yuletide Preparations


Greetings everyone! 

Now that Spooky Season has ended, we are starting with a new countdown - Yuletide! 

Yule, Christmas, Winter Solstice - a time known by many names, and loved by many. It is a time of renewed hope, whereupon after the longest night of the Winter Solstice, the days start be coming longer bit by bit. 

This year we are adopting the same format as we did for Samhain - one photo album for all things explicitly related to this Festive Season. As for gifts, well, anything and everything in stock can be a gift! We do share some items to the Gift Ideas Photo Album and these are mostly gift sets that we create, as well as items which scream "I am a perfect present! Pick me! ". Everything else is categorised in separate photo albums so if you decide you want a specific thing or theme - for example, Tarot or Oracle Cards, Incense and Incense holders , or Rainbow items , all you need to do is to browse the dedicated photo album and there you go! 

I have been working hard of creating special Gift Sets this year - and tomorrow I'm expecting 7 big boxes of new stock to arrive - half of which are intended to be used in the creation of such gift sets! Tuesday this week will see me drowning in a sea of packaging materials, candles and essential oils - wish me luck! 


Expect more Festive Season posts throughout the coming weeks! 

Until next time,

Hello September!

 

Spooky Season Loading...


Here at Fata Morgana September 1st means we can start the countdown until Halloween! Although there is still one more Sabbat left before Samhain - namely Mabon [a.k.a. Autumn Equinox], it is hard to hold back excitement over our favourite day of the year happens!

This year, all Spooky Season items will be gathered in one single album for ease of browsing. Each category will be divided with images that act as separators, setting expectations of what items will follow. Yesterday I set up the album with what will act as the cover photo - namely:



This morning I have also placed an order for some items which will eventually be added to the abovementioned album, and I just can't wait until I'm able to share with you lovely lot the goodies in store [ha. store. *grin*]


In the meantime, I'm planning on a number of blog posts, and special stock items that will be made by yours truly, so expect a lot more updates around here! I suppose one can consider it to be a good outlet to share the excitement with fellow Halloween Fiends!

 Oh! I almost forgot!


We are finally in a position to restart appointments at our base in Tarxien! Drop us a message either via our Facebook page or Instagram account  if you'd like to come over. The only thing we ask is that you wear a mask and let us know if you will have anyone else joining so we can ensure that we adhere to social distancing measures. 

Now I'm off to continue preparing for our Gozo Escapade taking place on the 13th of September. And by escapade, i mean delivery day, of course! You're still in time to place an order to be delivered on the day - let us know if there is anything you need! Delivery is, as always, at no additional cost.


So, until next time, stay safe!

Good afternoon beautiful souls!

Welcome to Fata Morgana's INKLings! Today we are celebrating 2 years of Fata Morgana, and what better occasion than this to launch our brand new blog? 

There are times when I want to share lengthier, informative posts, but social media is not the right platform for such ramblings. I find myself skimming over long posts if they are on facebook or other social media. However, if I go to a blog, it is because I want to read. That, is why, I decided to take the plunge with this. 


This year, the shop's birthday celebrations have started early! We started them off with a Gozo Delivery Day - it was our 2nd such delivery day, and the plan is to continue delivering in person to our Gozitan friends on a monthly basis. 

Here are some snaps from the day:

We ran into Lucifer Morningstar himself whilst in Qala. No, really!

[Not really, no. This was me offering someone to have his face hidden, should he wish. Given that we share a mutual love [or rather, a mutual love hate relationship] with the actor who plays the part, I said I'd swap his face with Mr Tom Ellis. And so, here we are!]

We finished the day with a little Full Moon Celebration, as can be seen below:

We have also set up a 2nd Birthday Giveaway - which ran for a few days, and 2 winners were randomly selected! The prizes were 2 wire wrapped crystal necklaces made by yours truly.

On Friday the 10th of July, two winners - Enn Gee for #teamjasper and Kirsten for #teamamethyst - were randomly selected, and their prizes will be delivered to them today:

Finally, here is a bit of a background for those of you unfamiliar with Fata Morgana.

My name is Rosalind, and I hail from sunny Malta, Europe. I found my path in Paganism when I was maybe 9 years old? I forgot the exact age to be honest. Growing up in a country which was, at the time, predominantly Roman Catholic, it was a challenge to find books and other paraphernalia to allow me to practice my path as I desired. I yearned for a one stop shop, but there was none such place to be found. At age 18, I decided I would do something about it, and started what was then named Esoteric. That was short lived, as it was not the right time for such a business venture. And so, the concept was put on the back burner, whilst life happened. Fast forward to 8 years ago. 

I started my own little family, and it was quite a ride, to say the least! A couple of years ago, things calmed down enough to allow me to explore setting up shop, properly this time. 

I wanted to give the shop a Maltese flavour, and that, is how Fata Morgana came to be. 

I was still working elsewhere during the day when I set up Fata Morgana - but as of right now, I am now solely focusing on the shop! That opens up my daily schedule wide open - which means appointments and open days will be happening very soon!

Its'a me! Ros
