Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between ink and dye?
Ritual inks are intended for writing names, petitions, prayers, seals, symbols, or characters on a suitable medium. Ritual tinctures, also known as "Spirits", are concentrated extracts of plants, flowers, resins, or aromatic materials that can be used to enrich an ink, prepare a ritual blend, anoint certain objects, or diffuse their fragrance without combustion.
How do I use ritual ink?
Ritual ink is used with a quill, reed pen, or fine brush to write an intention, name, symbol, or formula on parchment, paper, or any other compatible surface. Each ink is traditionally associated with a particular area, such as protection, love, prosperity, purification, or success, to complement the corresponding ritual work.
What are ritual tinctures used for?
Ritual tinctures allow the aromatic and traditional properties of plants or resins to be added to a preparation. They can be incorporated into inks, used to anoint certain ritual objects, or placed in a bowl to diffuse their fragrance without producing smoke. Their use always depends on the intention of the work being performed.
Are the inks and dyes ready to use?
Yes. The ritual inks are ready to use for ritual writing. The dyes can be used directly in small quantities or incorporated into other preparations according to traditional uses. It is recommended to carefully read the directions for use on each product sheet before use.
Why offer inks in an esoteric shop?
Inks and dyes are essential supplies for many practitioners. They naturally complement an offering of parchments, quills, candles, anointing oils, incense resins, and other ritual ingredients. Offering a varied range allows you to meet the needs of customers seeking specialized products, while also driving complementary sales within the shop.
