There are a lot of projects being rolled out in September.
Some are way too secret! However, at this years Doomsday Francis from Aquarius Magic premièred some of the carved and burnt boxes I have been working on. There are no 'tricks' these are just for storage. However, those of you that are interested in exclusivity will be pleased to hear that each on of these boxes are hand made and totally unique. This also means that they will not be the cheapest thing that we will be putting out. However, the idea is that each box or chest will be completely personalised. Now some of the Cuss Card Boxes were personalised to suit the performance context of their owners. An idea that I am working on is to take this far further. I would like to produce boxes that are co-created. This means that Alchemy Moon and the future owner discuss and develop ideas for the boxes - both for the design and for it's use. Pretty cool huh? but there is more - I am currently working with one of the truly great minds in bizarre magic that will really kick these ideas into a new paradigm. This will be a box that will be created on a metaphysical level. The customer in this case will take part in a series of exercises to realise his own individual and personal symbolism. This will then be engraved into the design on the box. I see some very interesting paths developing from this. What about past life regression boxes? Dream boxes? Boxes inscribed with sigils that are the result of real magickal path working. Stay with us guys, we are really aiming to break the mould in October! Why am I posting this here. Well, first of all, it would be very intersting to get some feedback - would you like one of these boxes? (ok, silly question...but) What would you like to see on your own co-created box? I am sure you lot will come up with many ideas that I have not even thought of - and these may well be incorporated into the work. Also, I am looking for four people to work with on co-creating one of these boxes *now*. This is to fully explore the ideas prior to the launch in October. As these are prototypes - I will try to keep the prices as realistic as I can, they will certainly be less expensive than they will be in October. These are going out to the first four serious enquiries. As each box takes around 2 weeks to make, I will make them in order of who signs up first.... I think this is the fairest way. If you miss the boat, remember these will be available (but in very limited numbers, for obvious reasons) in October. PM me if you are interested. Anyway, here are some photos of the boxes made for Aquarius Magic.I believe the Cthulhu chest has been sold already, I am not sure about the Alchemists Chest. If you are interested in this, you may want to contact Francis from Aquarius Magic. hope you like!

Always loved the Flammarion (i.e. Alchemist's) print. Makes a beautiful box.

Two slots gone and four people dithering! I will probably keep one back, just to make sure my regular customers get a first bite at this.
Also, quite a few enquiries for the Cuss card boxes. I am happy to make these anyway as each of the ECC boxes are a restricted run of one! - just pm me - the four slots are for people who want to try out the new ideas outlined above. Get weird people - that's why you are here isn't it?

Ladies and Gentlemen, I have been somewhat overwhelmed by the response to this - far too many have contacted me with really interesting ideas. My intention was to make 4 - then take stock and get ready for the release in October. However, to make it fair for everyone, I may just do a strict queuing system. This will easily take me up to October - if not into the next centenary (will I be there?).
I need a couple of days to organise things, read through all of your posts and suggestions and sip my Irish Cream. So If I have not got back to in the next few days, don't worry - I will. Can I ask you all to do this for me? Drop me an email to lunalchemy@googlemail.com Answering as many of these questions as you can (don't worry if you cannot answer any, it won't effect your 'eligibility'. Just give it a go! 1. Brief statement of what you would like to see on the box - or simple outline of your idea. 2. What the box is going to be used for. 3. Rough idea of size. (just big, medium, small would be enough - I will then contact you with more details on this). 3b. Type of box - i.e flat top, domed top, etc. 4. Anything else you want on/in the box - I have some wild ideas - remember I am more of an artist than a carpenter/metalworker. 5. other points. I am sorry if you have already put this info in your emails to me. But I have had so many replies now with such a range of request that I am a bit overwhelmed. This would help me so much. I will keep all of you pms and letters. - And if you want to contact me by email and pm as we, please do. But if you could keep to a very simple description of just the bare facts and call your email 'Moon-Box' - this would be perfect. When I have this information I can - > start the designing process > give you an idea of price. There is no charge for the initial consultation (god, I sound like a doctor there), so you can pull out at any point - no obligation. Also, no one is billed until there order is ready to ship - This is Alchemy Moon policy. thanks in advance Chris

All slots are closed - until I get the first batch done.
PM me if you want to be on the waiting list for the next batch - or keep your eye on the Moon.

One final message here. This project has become fascinating, but also hellishly complicated.
I do need to make regular contact with everyone who has shown interest. But I do not want it to look like I am pimping my wares and looking for ways of 'bumping my thread' (which sounds somewhat like an ill-conceived dance craze anyhow) - so this my last post on this. If you are interested - please pm me and I will give you access to a group I have set up, where I can keep you all regularly up to date. If you have already been in discussion with me, I will have sent you an invite anyway - however, a couple of these were bounced back, so if you feel left out and do not receive an invite - pm me anyway. over and out!

Dammitt - said I was not going to post on this thread again, but......
Due to the sheer amount of requests, questions and nice comments I have been receiving, pms, emails, forum posts and what have you, my brain has melted. In all of the confusion I must have missed someone out. So I have set a group up called 'boxmen' from here I can keep in touch with you all without constantly booting the backside of this thread. If you have shown an interest, you should have by now received an invite to this group. If you have not - It does not mean that I no longer love you, what it does mean is that you were in the bit of brain that squigged out of my ear earlier today. So if you feel left out, or are experiencing problems (not generally, you understand, but with accessing the boxmen group)drop me an email titled 'boxmen' to lunalchemy@googlemail.com. NOW I am outahere!

This is some of the most beautiful craftsmanship I have seen in decades.
Every one of these would have a place in my study, truly an heirloom quality piece. Kudos, good sir, you are bringing out the good stuff in a day and age of disposability. |
