Our Story
“A painter should begin every canvas with a wash of black, because all things in nature are dark except where exposed by the light.”
― Leonardo da Vinci
Welcome fellow traveller of folk magic, witchcraft and wild nature.
Hello, I'm Rae, the founder and creative director of Reliquary & Curios, a UK-based brand that specialises in witchy products, quirky gifts, Book of Shadows pages, divination tools & gothic home decor. With over 25 years of experience as a commercial designer and illustrator, I've crafted a reputation for creating engaging art that is perfect for decorating your home, gifting to a loved one, all available as an instant download for you to print for personal use.
I'm deeply passionate about Folk Witchcraft, wild nature, and the folklore of the British Isles, all of which have been pivotal in my life in the north of England and south of Ireland. Magical intention permeates all of my work, and I take great care to ensure that each illustration is imbued with authenticity, and created with reverence and respect.
All of the products in my store are created by me, in my studio on the edge of Sherwood Forest in Nottinghamshire, UK. I work primarily with graphite on paper or digitally, with a nod to vintage references on occasion, to create pieces that blend both darkness and light. Whether you're looking for something to decorate your home, build your Book of Shadows or Grimoire, or are looking for an unusual and quirky gift for a friend, you'll hopefully find it here. All of our products are available for instant download to print and frame, or add to your magical journal.
