Beacon Occultism! With Amy Wilson, owner of Otherworldly Waxes

Are you into the weird, the magickal and the macabre? You’re going to like this week’s interview with Amy Wilson, owner of the Otherworldly Waxes spellmaking shop as well as the Moon, Serpent and Bone “night markets.” Otherworldly Waxes produces customized spells in the form of candles that are inscribed with the intentions of her clients and burn for seven days. Meanwhile her night markets are haunted events — spooky, sexy, a smidge Satanic — full of makers who offer unique and weird items. These happenings are scheduled throughout the Hudson Valley during October and early November. In our interview, Amy talks about her early introduction to esoteric forms of spirituality (through her father, a medium who read tea leaves), the history of witchcraft in the New York City area and how people can attend her events.
