Tucked somewhere between the ordinary and the enchanting, The Violet Owl is not simply a business—it is a curious little world where creativity flutters freely and spirituality feels as natural as breathing.

The fourth book will be released soon. It has been written as a gentle guide for anyone who feels drawn to explore the wider landscape of healing and self-understanding. Rather than being centred on one fixed viewpoint or personal narrative, it intentionally creates space for reflection, exploration, and individual choice. The aim is to allow readers to move through the material in a way that feels relevant to their own experiences, rather than being directed towards a single conclusion.

Starting a handmade online business is often painted as a dreamy, fulfilling journey—turn your passion into profit, work on your own terms, and share your creativity with the world. While all of that can be true, what people don’t talk about enough is how challenging the process really is.

Running a handmade business alongside a full-time job in accounts or sales can feel overwhelming at times. Between long workdays and everyday responsibilities, finding the time and energy to create resin pyramids, hand-pour soy candles, make wax melts and write spiritual books isn’t always straightforward.

Many people ask me: “How can you connect with someone’s energy through a photograph, or with a loved one in spirit, when I’m not even in the same room as you?”

Many people who seek spiritual guidance or a mediumship reading often ask the same question:

Written readings offer a calm, reflective way to receive spiritual insight. Rather than live appointments or face-to-face sittings, Louise provides carefully prepared written mediumship and Tarot readings, allowing space for clarity, depth, and thoughtful interpretation.

Over the past few weeks, we’ve been busy behind the scenes candle testing, and we’re delighted to share that a new soy candle with a brand-new fragrance will soon be added to our range.

A spiritual journey is deeply personal. It rarely follows a straight path and looks different for everyone. Some days it’s quiet reflection, other days it’s emotional healing, learning, or simply finding a moment of calm in a busy world. The tools we choose along the way matter — not because they do the work for us, but because they support, guide and gently hold space for our growth.

Running a small handcrafted business has been one of the most rewarding—and eye-opening—journeys we’ve ever taken. From creating resin art, candles, and wax melts to writing our own books, every step has taught us lessons that go far beyond the craft itself.
