About Us

Midnight Imperium was created for the Witch community to offer high quality authentic ingredients for spells, rituals and spiritual development. Our journey as a store started at local witch and pagan fares, where we took our ritual salts, herbs, candles and spell kits. COVID brought a pause to events, which gave us the push we needed to open a store on Etsy. We have now been selling online for just over a year and have expanded our range to include our Intention Incense, Luxury wax melts and Soya candles. Our subscription boxes are also a new addition and an online course is in the pipe line. We are a family run business and put focus on trusted quality witchcraft supplies, genuine customer service and luxury handmade gifts tailored to the Witch, Wiccan and Pagan community.

Our family line would be considered as 'hereditary' in modern day terms. Witchcraft had been practiced in the family for several generations. It hasn't been referred to as this in the past however, instead our ancestors were known as the local 'Wise Women' of the area. Our ancestors travelled from town to town offering spells, charms, potions and Tarot readings to local villagers. The wisdom was passed down from mother to daughter and the trade continued until the 1900's, at which time 'day jobs' were taken and the family wisdom was kept for personal use... until 2018 that is!

 

How it's all made

Our family values can be seen through our products and packaging. We aim to offer naturally sourced, ethically made, high quality items. This means when we develop a product we spend time researching where the ingredients come from to determine if they are ethically and sustainably sourced. We do not purchase plastic for our packaging, instead we opt for natural alternatives such as packing paper, wood wool or re-using bubble wrap that our materials arrive in. We take pride in our products and like to package them with thought, so you enjoy unearthing your new magical creations and witchcraft supplies. 

We lean towards animal free for products however do offer some products that are not Vegan friendly. One example of this is our beeswax candles. Although they are made from wax the bees have made, they have been made with the bees welfare in mind. We took time to research the different companies available before choosing our wax source. We settled on a local family run company that offer beeswax from well looked after bees who were able to answer all our questions, and showed a passion and dedication to good beekeeping.
