Jacques (or Jack) Coutela, astrologer and prolific author, met Diane Lucifera in 1970 and together they founded the International Wicca in France in 1978. Father of six children, he wrote under various pseudonyms such as Maïk Vegor and R. P. Johannès, and published numerous works on occult sciences, magic, and UFOs, as well as detective novels and erotic books. Notably, he is the author of the Practical Manual of Berry Witchcraft and Practical Manual of Occitan Witchcraft. Coutela also contributed to various magazines, including those rated X.
Here, we don’t judge.
No matter where you come from, what you believe in, or what you’re looking for: you belong here. You can be a beginner, curious, a casual practitioner, or a daily witch. What matters is sincere intention.
We believe in all forms of magic.
High magic and its rigorous rituals deserve as much respect as spells passed down in the countryside. We read grimoires, respect rites, listen to old stories. Everything practiced with faith deserves serious and curious attention.
We welcome all traditions.
We don’t put one path above another. We talk hoodoo, kabbalah, Christian prayers, elemental magic, folk rituals, Celtic symbols. What matters is respect. Not the label.
We work cleanly.
Each package is carefully prepared by us, here in France. Before shipping, it is purified so it arrives at your home cleansed and positively charged. We strive to use recyclable packaging and reduce our impact as much as possible.
We stay available.
Customer service is us. Not an AI, not a robot, not a call center. If you have a question, a doubt, a problem, you reach us—the same people who select the products, write the descriptions, and prepare the packages.
We stay human-sized.
We are a small passionate team with big ambitions, hands in the herbs, books, and boxes. And we want to keep it that way.
