The air will crackle with magic as all the shops at The Duck Pond stay open late for an evening of mystical fun, pop-up magic, and fall festivity.

At Luna Grace, step into a spellbinding evening of:
🔮 Magic Bar Alchemy
🕯️ Witchy Crystal Sets
🍂 Oils, Simmer Pot Magic, and more fall treats

Bonus Witch Lore:
Did you know that in ancient Europe, the term "witch" came from the Old English wicce, meaning "wise woman"?
Witches were once honored as midwives of both birth and transformation, keepers of plant medicine, and spiritual guides.
During the fall months, many would gather for moonlit rites of release and renewal — a tradition we continue to echo in our modern rituals today.
Come gather, shop, and spellcast with us under the waxing moon. 🎃

🧙‍♀️ Costumes & cauldrons welcome.
