🖤 Who am I
Hi! 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 strays a bit from what people consider "normal."
As a child, things happened to me that I didn't quite know how to explain. I had premonitory dreams and, sometimes, I felt presences around the house that, let's be honest, gave me real fear and kept me awake. Since I was a chatterbox and more transparent than a crystal ball, I would run to tell my friends, seeking support and understanding. But some of them would respond by making up horror stories as if it were a game or a screenwriting contest, and I felt quite misunderstood. I didn't understand how something that scared me so much could be fun for others.
Everything changed the day I found a tarot deck my mother had stored at home. It was like discovering a small hidden treasure. I had no idea what the cards meant, but I started playing with them, guided only by my intuition. And that's where it all began.
Today, I read tarot for my loved ones and myself, always intuitively. I don't follow rigid manuals or dogmas: I simply listen to what I feel. For me, magic and reason are not at odds; they complement each other.
That same sensitivity also connects me deeply with nature. In it, I find calm, clarity, and an inspiration I don't find anywhere else.
For a long time, I tried to hide this more intuitive and "witchy" part of me. I know that for many people, anything related to witchcraft or the psychic might sound absurd, and I perfectly understand that. I myself have tried to find rational and scientific explanations for everything, but I believe there are still things that elude our understanding, no matter how much we try to always find a logical explanation for them.
I guess that's why I've been a kind of "closet witch," living this part of me inwardly and covering it up so as not to draw too much attention. And I'm sure I'm not the only person who has ever felt this way.
Scriptara Studio is, in part, the window I've decided to open after years of keeping all this to myself. It still makes me a bit dizzy, but this project is also my most honest way of showing myself as I am.

More than a store, it's a place where Autumn and Halloween never end. Those of you who have the countdown to October 31st set all year round will understand me perfectly.
🌙 The name "Scriptara" and the Serpent
Scriptara sounds like Ostara, magic, mystery, and ancient writing.
Its symbol is a pastel-colored snake (affectionately named "the Serpentine"), representing transformation, wisdom, and a touch of mischief. It reminds me that changing and evolving is part of growing, and that what's strange can also be beautiful.
As a curious fact (or a sign of destiny, call it what you will): my Chinese zodiac sign is the Snake, and this store opened its magical doors precisely in the Year of the Snake. We couldn't have chosen another logo.
🐶 The team (A dog boss and a trusted human)
I'm not alone on this adventure. I'm accompanied by Lucky, my adopted chihuahua mix. He's the real "boss" of the house: guardian of packages, official wrapping paper supervisor, and expert at napping in the most absurd places in the house (and when I say absurd, believe me, they are). His presence reminds me that even on the grayest days there is light... or a sudden sharp bark.
And well, I also have human help: my boyfriend. He's in charge of lifting boxes when it's time for restocking, all the technical aspects of the store, and enduring my creative crises, which is no small feat (having a programmer at home has incredible advantages, really).
Thinking about it, I put my partner in the same section as the dog and didn't even give him a special mention... How shameful!
💌 Why Scriptara Studio exists
This project was born at a very complicated time, when health forced me to stop abruptly and reinvent myself. Creating this space was my way of regaining enthusiasm and doing what I love, but at my own pace.
Each piece that arrives at the store is chosen with great care and consistency with this universe, which, to be honest, runs on a lot of coffee, strange playlists, and tremendous stubbornness.
Scriptara Studio is made with love, patience, and an indecent amount of paperwork. Honestly, Spanish bureaucracy for freelancers should come with an exorcism manual. From here, I want to send a lot of encouragement to my fellow freelancers, because surviving the Tax Agency almost counts as a magical skill.
If you've made it this far, all I can say is that if you're drawn to the mystical, the adorable, or simply the different, this place is for you. It doesn't matter if you consider yourself a witch or not; this is a space open to anyone curious about magic.
And remember that here, strangeness is not hidden: IT IS CELEBRATED.
