“Sephora will start selling entry-level witch kits in October.”
All right witches, listen up.
Sephora is to begin selling a “witch kit” next month featuring a tarot deck, fragrances, a sage bundle, and a rose quartz crystal for $42.
I think it’s wonderful that witchcraft is making a resurgence, but what I don’t think is wonderful, is that a huge corporation like Sephora is trying to tap into this market.
Why don’t I like it?
Because Sephora has their fingers in enough pies and generates over $4 billion in revenue per year.
Because witchcraft produce and supplies should be provided by people with knowledge on the practise(s) and who care enough to make sure their products are ethical, of a high quality, and non-appropriative.
Because Sephora will be stealing business from actual witchcraft and occult centric shops who likely don’t make huge sums of money anyway due to the niche nature of the market.
Because Sephora doesn’t need the fucking money!
So, I urge you to share this post and refrain from purchasing this “entry-level” witch kit (and any future witchcraft related product) from Sephora. Instead, support small, witch-owned businesses. We need you and we’ve got your backs.
Here is a list of shops owned by witches. Check it out!
Go to Sephora for make up if that’s your thing, but for witchcraft?! Nah. Sorry. Support local witches and esoteric shops if you can.
Just to calm everyone’s nerves, I feel that I must point out that this article title is VERY exaggerated. They are selling a perfume set that comes with a few tarot cards, a rose quartz crystal, and a bundle of sage. It’s supposed to be magic themed, not actually a witch starter kit. I doubt they’ll be selling any more similar things after this!
