About
The Pagan Store™
The
Pagan Store web site and shop were originally founded in 2004.
As it happens, life takes us into twist and turns that forever
keep us in a state of flux.
That
said, it has taken until 2017 to actually reacquire this web site
to launch and build this online shop with an all new line of products
that are hand made.
Our
location is in the high desert region of Arizona where we have
chosen to live among the magic Juniper Forest trees and wildlife
in our area. The volcanic rocks and soil have woven a splatter
of unique features to the area and has left behind an exceptionally
heavy environment laden with iron ore in the mesa and valley areas
that make it difficult for even cell phones to work here. Magnetic
compasses tend to not work properly, and the living creatures
around here show signs of intelligence that far exceed the expectations
one would have of these small and local entities.
This
is a land of enchantment of the likes we have never experienced
before.
It's
very easy to understand why the native peoples of these lands
felt the enchantment that is here with their minds and souls.
Even though it can be a hard and cruel physical environment, we
can feel it too.
In times past,
massive forest grew here before the water that nourished them
dried up and receded away. The entire terrain is littered with
petrified wood from pieces the size of a grain of sand to that
of fully grown massive trees.
Here the ant
people live, mining the soil around us and bringing up to the
surface the small particles of life from the past. Just spending
time near the giant ant colonies produces an education on what
the past has to offer in our area. You grow to appreciate the
very life that exudes here despite the hardships that prevent
the faint of heart from trying to live here.
Working
out of a tiny shop and with what surrounds us and keeping in tune
with living in unison with our environment, we are proud to bring
to you what we produce out of our micro living conditions.
Living
close to the earth and working non stop for the last few years
to build our lives back from scratch has been an incredible learning
experience and journey. We have met people from all walks of life
here and enjoy them all. You learn just how precious a simple
material like water can mean the difference between life and death
in a very short time.
We
had to struggle a massive battle just to get electric power and
Internet at our location. Once that was accomplished, we have
steadily worked toward growing our craft again and are happier
for making the efforts to live in this enchanted landscape.
