The Witches Catalogue of Wanderlust Essentials
Fate is written in stone. Destiny is yours to shape—if you're willing to wield the chisel.
When a cursed bloodstone goes missing before an eclipse set to unleash its dark influence, three strangers find their fates suddenly and impossibly intertwined.
Zani, an adventurous, relic-hunting witch, is determined to outrun the future her family designed for her. Her satchel is perpetually packed full of magical cures for common travel disasters. But losing an ancient artifact might be the one catastrophe that her bag of tricks can't fix.
Will, a half-fae porter who can summon doorways between any time and place, has followed the paths of others for so long that he's forgotten how to chart his way. But he seizes the chance to claim his gifts and step into his own timeline when he leads Zani on a journey through history itself.
Ondalune, a reclusive former film star, is haunted by a life that refuses to end naturally. She doesn’t look a day over 70, even though she’s been alive for over a hundred years and everyone she's ever loved is long gone. Yet she remains, plagued by a maddening sense of something forgotten—something she's meant to do—hovering just beyond her memory's reach.
As their quests collide and centuries-old mysteries surface, this magical trio learns that only they possess the power to outplay fate’s cruel hand. But solving the bloodstone's curse will require each of them to face the uncomfortable truths they've been running from.
The Witches Catalogue of Wanderlust Essentials is a cozy fantasy adventure about reclaiming your story, found family forged through magic and mishaps, and the revolutionary act of choosing yourself. Also featured: Enchanted travel gear, lethargic vampires, portal-hopping through time for epic sandwiches and one very cursed piece of jewelry.
Set in the same world as the first book in the Natural Magic series, this is an interconnected story that can be read as a standalone, but may be best enjoyed after reading Book 1, The Mudpuddle Manual of Natural Magic.

Cozy Pairings
Voodoo is a rich and inviting fragrance built around the depth of freshly brewed coffee, softened with the natural sweetness of sugar cane. Warm and slightly indulgent, this scent blends bold, roasted notes with a smooth, lingering sweetness that feels both energizing and comforting. Subtle and atmospheric, it carries a hint of something more, adding a layer of intrigue that makes the fragrance feel warm, familiar, and just a little bit magical.
Why we chose this: A relic-hunting witch, a half-fae who can summon doorways between any time and place, and a century-old former film star who has outlived everyone she ever loved: three strangers whose fates collide over a cursed bloodstone as they portal-hop through history looking for answers. Voodoo carries the warm, slightly mysterious depth of a story where the ordinary and the extraordinary exist side by side, rich coffee and sweet sugar cane and a hint of something that feels like fate operating quietly in the background. Light this candle as the trio sets off through time, and let the warmth fill the room like a night full of things that are more than they appear.
