Please allow me to introduce myself. My name is Tina aka in some circles as Moonflower. I am the owner and artist of Moon Twinkles.

I am a 45 year old native Pennsylvanian, I design and make my creations in my studio in the comfort of my Pittsburgh home. Being a self taught artist I have been designing and creating my own pagan crafts for most of my life.

I draw my inspiration from nature. Pagan symbolism is very important to me and I use the appropriate colors and symbols to empower whatever project I am working on. I prefer to use only natural materials. Each of my items are created in a ritually charged circle so as to fully maximize and maintain the magick within each piece, and all of my creations are psychically charged beneath the light of a full moon. As I create each knitted or crocheted piece I focus upon each stitch the magickal intent for which the item is to be used. (i.e. love spell, wealth, etc.)

I am an Ordained New Age Minister, who has studied the Metaphysical Arts for the Majority of my life. Family members have said that I was born with a "veil" (a child born with a "veil" is said to be extremely psychically gifted) which is said to have scared my natural mother, causing her to put me up for adoption. I am the natural descendant of a "Strega" grandmother who is said to have passed along her gifts to me to protect me. ("Stregheria" is an Italian form of witchcraft said to be among the most powerful forms)

From a very early age I have been able to communicate with the spiritual realm, and to date, I pride myself on having shared this gift with others by assisting them in communicating with loved ones who have passed over. I also have been called on to cleanse homes of unwanted spirits. I then help the spirits move on to the light.

I have spent the entire summer traveling throughout Pennsylvania and surrounding states investigating claims of paranormal occurrences, (haunted houses). In my travels I have acquired an eclectic collection of haunted items from these abodes, many of which I will be sharing with other paranormal enthusiasts via my store on EBay.

At Moon Twinkles, I painstakingly hand craft everything myself, on a made to order basis. There is nothing here that is mass produced . All of my items are unique and original creations that you won't find anywhere else on the web.

Brightest Blessings To All,
