What is your business, and what do you do?
Greetings! Our business is called Witch Pirate & we are a husband-wife team offering a large variety of Spiritual, Metaphysical & Adventure-themed products & Services for everyone! For the last 3.5 years we have been traveling all around New England to sell our wares at Renaissance Faires, Food Festivals, Community Events, Special Markets & County Fairs. We provide everything from ethically sourced Crystals, Minerals, Meteorites & Fossils to Pendulums, Spell Kits, Cauldrons, Divination Cards, Handmade Jewelry, Botanical Items, Leather Goods & more! We are also certified in a myriad of Healing Arts & offer personal appointments for Readings, Reiki, Sound Healing, Crystal Balancing & Herbal Consultations.
Tell us about the “AHA! Moment!” that led you to start your business.
Our “AHA!” moment happened early one evening, after we had already begun to frame out a small trailer for a custom vardo build. It was about a month into the project when Ash turned to her husband & said, “what if it’s also a pirate ship?”. We tried to be clever about naming the company that would combine both of our passions, but in the end decided to keep it simple. “I’m a witch & you’re a pirate… Witch Pirate”.
What do you love about your job
There are many aspects to this job that we both absolutely adore! But what stands out most for us is to be able to share knowledge & resources with people from all different backgrounds, perspectives & lifestyles. Our small business has grown into more than a shopping experience, becoming a creative safe space where people can enjoy themselves, often finding supportive moments of self-reflection. What may start off as a conversation about a crystal could end with an enlightening epiphany or much needed moment of validation. We never know what someone may need, but we are honored to hold space for them should we ever cross paths at Witch Pirate.
What makes you different from others in your industry?
We do not believe there is one single way to do anything & through that philosophy we have forged our own unique path to travel. Because of this, we are committed to living & serving as our authentic selves, whether at work, at home or otherwise. Since integrating our lifestyle into our business, everything feels more like part of a holistic system instead of some type of work-life separation; admittedly, our shops look and feel similarly to our home and how we live day to day. It is through this living of our of work & vice versa, that we feel confident in being able to support others to be their most authentic selves, in whatever way that means for them!
What’s your Service Area?
Our Service area is rather wide! While we have opened a brick & mortar store in Standish, ME, our traveling ship-shop will continue to travel around New England visiting select events (Visit Our Events Page at www.witchpirate.com). Our website also caters to everyone outside of the New England area & we can ship most things to wherever they need to get to! Zoom Calls are also available for certain Services.
