Celtic Attic new product lines announced

Posted on

Celtic attic has been proudly creating, importing and selling Celtic gifts and jewelry for 20 years. We are so honored to be a part of sharing our Celtic and viking heritage with all our customers, family & friends. Now it is our turn to give back. We have introduced 3 new product lines made by the Celtic Attic family. Each line donates a 5% portion of proceeds to charity. Just our way of saying Thank You for sharing our journey these past years.

The Collections are:

Celtic Angel Wings in honor of my mother, Shirley Olsen who was my best friend and my inspiration to live my Magical Life. She always told me all things are possible and there is always a bright side, you just have to uncover your eyes and hope. We lost my mom to Alzheimer’s in 2003, so she gets to see this chapter of our business from the heaven’s above.

We have all heard the saying when bells ring another angel gets her wings. This product line is dedicated to my dear mum. She left this earth many years ago and watches over us each and every day. I created the chimes lines to honor her memory as she was truly my best friend and my angel. She gave the darkness light and made the light sparkle. Each time your chime touches the air listen closely as it may be a dear one wishing you grace or sending love to this place.

Celtic Seaside Escape Jewelry because I am drawn to the ocean and all sea creatures and just love the fusion of Celtic and Sea Life It is calming and so simply basic. We have a variety of Jewelry and each piece has a story of inspiration. I have noted the path to create these pieces for you to read and hopefully enjoy.

CeltaPhysical Art is dedicated to my grandchildren for blessing my life and showing me things through those innocent eyes that we seem to close to world as we grow up. In particular this line is inspired by my eldest grandson, Sammy who at this writing is 4 years old. He had a tough beginning and still struggles but makes progress each day. One sunny day shortly after he came to live with me, we were outside and I just was overwhelmed and thought what the hell am I doing.

Just give me a break crossed my mind and all of a sudden we were swarmed by Lady Bugs. They were everywhere, hundreds of them. Sammy was scared and then started to giggle. I thought wow, life is funny and amazing and I want to share this feeling with everyone I encounter. So I began taking photographs and turning them into my version of Art.

Magickal Garden – Shop some amazing jewelry to find your inner magic.
Create your own Magickal garden.  Nothing fancy, you just have to know what to plant that will help you in your daily life.  Even works in small spaces.  Remember to check your local nursery for the best time to plant and what grows best in your area of the world:

  • To improve psychic powers – plant a bay tree, honeysuckle, marigolds, roses or thyme.
  • A loving household – plant gardenia, primrose, spearmint, tomato, pansy, jasmine or catnip.  If you have room for trees, try:  cherry, apple, orange, maple or willow.
  • To ensure happiness in the home – fill a window box with hyacinth, lavender, Marjoram, catnip or morning glory.
  • If money is a problem – plant mint, onion, snapdragon, camellia, chamomile, clover, dill, basil or wheat.  If you have room for trees, try:  pine, oak, ash, apple or banana trees.
  • To ward off theft – plant garlic, cumin, thistles, aspen, cactus or junipers around the perimeter of your house.
  • General luck – bamboo, hydrangea and sunflower near the house helps..
  • Try to always put a GUARDIAN in your garden.  I have an Angel, but whatever you like will work.   Another great idea is a gazing globe (you know those big glass spheres), this is a larger kind of witch ball and will protect your garden.

Healthy Living Tips

Light Grey Celtic Sea Salt
  • Relieve tension fast
    • Apply increasing pressure to the tendon under the ankle.  Hold for 2 minutes.  This acupressure point affects high tension areas all over the body.
  • Ease hand cramps
    • To restore circulation after spending hours as a keyboard, try this:  Separate and stretch fingers until you feel tension; hold for 10 seconds.  Then bend at the knuckles and hold; repeat, breathing deeply as you stretch.
  • Great Morning boost
    • If you’re groggy in the morning, try taking 12 long exhalations, adding an “eh” sound to each breath.  Keep your jaw relaxed and allow the sound to be natural.  This deep-breathing exercise re-energizes the body.  Repeat whenever you need a boost.
  • Itchy scalp relief
    • Rinse scalp with apple cider vinegar.  It will relieve the itch and remove the buildup from hair.
  • Sore Muscles
    • Cayenne Pepper is an instant healer of sore muscles and a natural anti-inflammatory.
  • Speed Healing
    • Pressing the reflex point between the ankle bones and the Achilles tendon will help relieve back pain temporarily.  Hold for two minutes while breathing deeply.
  • Curing a Headache:
    • Concentrate all your thought on where the pain is and chant three times: “Tame this  flesh and blood, as our lady tames the lion.”  This is a good spell because it can be done anytime, anywhere.
  • Drink a cup of Ginger Tea
    • to get you going at work mid-morning or mid-day.  submitted by Shirley.
  • End hunger pains:
    • enjoy a cup of calorie free fennel tea.  It is a muscle relaxant.
  • Cancer Risk Assessment
    • (most accurate results for people over 40)

  • Stop a nosebleed
    • Place thumb and forefinger on either side of the bridge of the nose and pinch.  Hold.
  • Yeast Infections
    • Evening Primrose and Flaxseed Oil both contain fatty acids that help control the growth of yeast.  If you use the Evening Primrose Oil (old wives tale is it helps induce labor – been there done that – THIS STUFF TASTES NASTY), take it with food or a strong  smelling liquid to mask the smell and taste.
  • Sleep Sappers:
    • Caffeine:  Coffee, Tea, Cola, Chocolate are stimulants that can interfere with sleep.
    • Alcohol:  Might make you drowsy, but it will be a restless sleep and you might wake up drowsy.

10 Handy Herbs

  • St.John’s-wort
    • Many clinical trials show that St.-John’s-wort — also called hypericin or hypericum — is successful at treating mild depression. American consumers have been slow to appreciate the benefits of St.-John’s-wort; but in Germany, this concentrated extract of flowers and leaves is the most popular
      prescription drug for treating depression (far outselling Prozac, in fact). It’s also being tested as a possible AIDS treatment, and has long been used as a wound ointment.
  • Aloe
    • Most people are familiar with aloe’s burn-soothing qualities, but did you know that aloe gel also fights infection? Keep it on your windowsill in the kitchen; when topically applied, its gel forms a natural cooling bandage over wounds, burns, sunburn and cuts.
  • Goldenseal
    • This herb’s effectiveness in treating sore throats, indigestion, tired eyes and microbial diarrhea is somewhat disputed. Still, anecdotal evidence points to its benefits as a digestive tonic and mild topical anesthetic.
  • Chamomile
    • Chamomile has been called the Swiss Army knife of herbal teas; it handles everything from inflammation and skin irritation to cold symptoms, nervousness and menstrual cramps. You are probably already familiar with its pleasant aroma — thus explaining its presence in many shampoos — but you should also get to know it as a calming tonic.
  • Ginseng
    • The term “ginseng” actually refers to three distinct species of the plant: the Asian, American and Siberian varieties. All three are traditionally used as tonics, and relieve stress, improve stamina, regulate blood pressure and enhance immunity to varying degrees. Buyer’s note: Check your purchase carefully; studies have shown that as many as 25% of all so-called ginseng products contain no ginseng at all!
  • Balm
    • Stomach comforter, blues banisher, herpes fighter, even bug repellent: The reputed uses of balm are so varied that it’s no wonder this lemon-scented herb has been nicknamed “cure-all.”
  • Peppermint
    • There’s a reason why restaurants slip their patrons a mint after a spicy meal. Peppermint, a hybrid of other mint species, eases intestinal gas, relieves indigestion and eases diarrhea. One of its active ingredients -menthol — also helps soothe sore muscles and cool inflammation.
  • Rosemary
    • The oil of this pine-scented herb is a powerful antioxidant (it protects fats from being attacked by oxygen). And because oxygen damage is known to be a factor in cancer onset, it may have the potential for preventing certain cancers. Also soothes menstrual cramps and digestive problems.
  • Saw Palmetto
    • This inscrutable palm seems to counteract the effects of androgens, which are male sex hormones that may cause prostate enlargement. Consequently, saw palmetto has been embraced by the medical community as an accompaniment to prescription drugs and surgery for prostate problems.
  • Tarragon
    • Tarragon contains no fewer than 72 anti-cancer agents. It also has anti-viral properties that fight herpes pain and flu symptoms.
Herbal Remedies

  • Acne: A infusion (boil water and then pour over herbs.  Let herbs steep for 15 minutes) of chamomile, Yarrow or Lavender can be applied to face using a cotton ball.  Use Aloe Vera daily to treat acne.
  • Arthritis:  Aloe Vera gel or the sap from the plant rubbed directly on inflamed joints can relieve pain.  Other anti-inflammatory herbs are:  Chamomile, Feverfew, Aloe Vera, Willow & Primula.
  • Asthma:  A Thyme infusion can help with Asthma.
  • Blood Pressure:  Rosemary can be used as a tea or in the bath.  If you have LOW BLOOD PRESSURE, consult your physician or herbalist.
  • Colds:  Chamomile, Lemon Balm, Elderflower, Peppermint, Catmint, Yarrow & Ginger are all good in the treatment of colds.  If you have a thyroid problem be careful using Lemon Balm as it speeds up your metabolism.
  • Cough Relief – Try Thyme.  Make it into a tea.  It has a natural antibacterial agent and expectorant.
  • Cramps:  Tea made from Cramp Bark can be helpful.
  • Diarrhea:  Meadowsweet, Thyme, Sage, Raspberry or Strawberry Leaf can all be useful in a tea.
  • Dressing for cuts and wounds – use Honey.  It has been used since ancient times and is an established antibacterial and anti-inflammatory.
  • Earache:  Warm Chamomile tea is a traditional wash used in earaches.
  • Eyes:  Eyebright, Marigold or Chickweed can be used as a infusion, cooled and soaked in a cloth and finally placed on the closed eyes for 10 minutes.  Marigold helps a lot with eye strain.
  • Headache:  Migraines- use infusion of Feverfew or Lemon Balm.
  • Indigestion and Gas – try Fennel Seeds.  They relax the smooth muscle lining of the digestive tract.
  • Insect Bites & Stings:  Rub crushed Marigold Flowers, Plantain Leaves or Pennyroyal Leaves on infected area.  Aloe Vera can be used as an insect repellant.
  • Insomnia:  Hops are great under your pillow to help induce sleep.
  • Menopause:  Tea of Sage will help reduce hot flashes.
  • Mosquito repellant – Catnip
  • Pain Relief:  Meadowsweet can be used as a infusion.  Also Meadowsweet or Willow Bark can be used as a compress.
  • Stress:  Valerian, Skullcap, Chamomile, Evening Primrose, Ginseng or Hops can be made into a infusion and taken as a tea.
  • Sunburn Relief or Indigestion – try eating a banana.  Potassium is a natural antacid.
  • Urinary Tract Infection – Drink Cranberry juice.
  • Yeast Infection – Eat yogurt.
