Most creations in the Apothecary are prepared in small batches, following the methods and principles preserved within my family tradition and the practices of folk magic, using materials prepared with particular care and attention. Herbs are gathered according to the season, the appropriate time, and the methods of our tradition, while candles and other ritual objects are made during specific days and periods considered favourable for their preparation. Planetary influences, astrological conditions, guidance from the Unseen spiritual forces with which I work, and the particular power carried by certain sacred places in Corfu may all be taken into consideration.

For this reason, restocking is not always immediate. Certain preparations become available again only when the necessary ingredients can be gathered, dried, and prepared according to the appropriate time and conditions. Each creation is therefore the result of patience, care, and devotion to the tradition.
