🕯️ Who am I
I'm Lili, creator of Scriptara Studio , a place where the adorable, the dark, and the magical come together. I've always been drawn to the alternative, the mysterious, and everything that doesn't quite fit into what's usually considered "normal."
Even as a child, strange things happened to me, and being the talkative person I was, I'd tell my friends about them. But when I did, I'd get one of two responses: either they looked at me skeptically, or they told me even more exaggerated stories that seemed straight out of a movie. That made me feel like they weren't taking me seriously, and I struggled to understand how something that scared me so much was almost a game to them. Even so, everything related to clairvoyance fascinated me, but I've always had enormous respect for it, I won't deny it.
Today I read tarot for my family and myself, guided primarily by intuition. I don't follow dogmas or fixed structures: I simply listen to what I feel, even if it can't always be explained logically. For me, magic and reason don't exclude each other, but rather complement one another.
That same sensitivity connects me to nature. In it I find calm, clarity, and a kind of inspiration that doesn't appear anywhere else.
For a long time, I tried not to stand out on this more intuitive and "witchy" side of me. I know that for many, the topic of "witchcraft" or "psychic sensitivity" sounds completely absurd and like a charade (crackpot nonsense, right?), and I understand. I myself have tried to give rational explanations to everything, but there are things that simply don't fit into a logical framework, no matter how hard we try to find the answer. We don't know absolutely everything about life.
Even today, I find it hard not to feel ashamed when I think I might be judged for talking about it, even if it's just by a glance. I suppose that's why I've been a bit of a closet witch: keeping this part of myself hidden, trying to make it go unnoticed, and covering it up (metaphorically). And I'm sure there are many of us who have felt or still feel this way.
Scriptara Studio is, in part, that window I've opened to let out something I've been keeping for years, and I must admit that it still overwhelms me, but this project is proving to be the most honest way I have to start showing it.
This is my little universe, a place where I let my intuition out and where I want to invite anyone who comes to connect with theirs.
🕸️ What you'll find here
At Scriptara Studio, my own creations coexist with selected pieces from other artisans, designers, and suppliers who share this universe I've created. Here you'll find:
🕯️ Objects of spirituality and witchcraft (minerals, incense, candles, etc.)
👻 Witchcore, Celtic, spooky or fantasy jewelry, stationery and accessories.
🧵 Alternative fashion with touches of humor and sarcasm.
🌲 Decoration inspired by nature and the esoteric.
More than a shop, it's a little universe where Autumn and Halloween never end. Those of you who love Autumn will understand.
🌙 The name "Scriptara" and the Snake
Scriptara sounds like magic and writing.
Its symbol, the pastel-colored snake (or as I call it, " the Serpent "), represents transformation, wisdom, and mischief. It reminds me that change is part of growing up and that the unusual can also be beautiful.
My Chinese zodiac sign is the Snake, and this store also opened its magical doors in the Year of the Snake.
🐶 My magic helper
I'm not alone in this crypt. I'm accompanied by Lucky , my little adopted chihuahua mix, guardian of packages, supervisor of wrapping paper, and expert at napping in the most absurd places in the house (and when I say absurd, believe me, they're truly absurd).
His presence reminds me that even on the darkest days there is light (or, sometimes, an unexpected sharp bark).
And well, I also have human help: my boyfriend, who takes care of lifting boxes when needed and the technical side of the store (having a programmer at home has its advantages).
You see, I put my partner in the dog section... I don't even give him an exclusive.
💌 Why does Scriptara Studio exist?
This project was born during a difficult time, when my health forced me to stop and reinvent myself. Creating this space was my way of regaining my enthusiasm and doing what I love at my own pace.
Each piece that arrives at the store (designed by me or by other creators) is chosen with care and coherence with the Scriptara universe (which runs on coffee, weird playlists and stubbornness).
Scriptara Studio is made with love, patience, and an indecent amount of paperwork.
The bureaucracy should include an exorcism manual; the way they complicate things is appalling!
If you've made it this far, all I can say is this: if you're drawn to the mystical, the adorable, or simply the different, this is the place for you. It doesn't matter if you consider yourself a witch or wizard or not; this is a space open to anyone who feels an affinity for the magical.
And remember, here, weirdness isn't hidden: IT'S CELEBRATED.
