The Earth's Cauldron, the melting pot of the world. A center for us all. A place where you can find many different cultures existing
side by side in relative harmony. We like to explore all areas of ancient culture, and bring to our shop, the most practical (and
still available) items that were used and cherished by people in ancient times.
I started out at fairs and flea markets, and in 1998 I opened my first real shop and started importing handmade goods from all
over the world, and have never looked back. This has not only been a passion, but my life's work.
Today along with my
beloved soaps and essential oils, I also make other body care products, natural wax candles and custom made Mojo bags & oil blends.
I import incense, statues, teas, herbs, oils, henna and many more hard to find exotic items and spiritual supplies.
All of our
imported products are authentic, and not cheap imitations. IE: If it's Indian, it came from India; If it's Egyptian, it
came from Egypt.
In these last few years, with my love of ancient cultures, also came a love for Mehndi ~ henna body art.
I am a natural henna artist, certified through the ICNHA.
The Earth's Cauldron brings together all that we love about
the world, past and present.
The Earth's Cauldron is both a physical shop and an on-line store. Our physical shop is closed only for the moment, as we build
our perfect shop in the setting we have chosen.
Our normal hours of business when our physical shop opens is
10:00 am to
6:00 pm est. Tuesday through Saturday.
When our shop is complete, an address and driving directions will be posted on our "
contact
us" page of our website.
