Due to various factors, we have decided to close Sapphire Moon in Thame, and re-locate back to our sister shop in High Wycombe. website here We own the freehold on the shop, so we hope to rent it out shortly.

With much love, 

Claire, Matt and Kim..

We have a FACEBOOK page..oh yea!!

 

click on the link below, and join our group!!


We now have a new page of 'Our Friends'. It includes a number of the very talented people we are lucky enough to be associated with, here in Thame, and in our sister shop 'Ruby Moon' in High Wycombe. They are all wonderful, and come with our highest recommendation!

 We are a small company of two businesses. One here online, and the other (Ruby Moon) in High Wycombe, Bucks. As members of BAFTS we are committed to stock Fair trade products whenever possible, and therefore source our products from suppliers who can show us that they are doing their best to work in an ethical manner. In order to do this we work with a core of suppliers who are registered with BAFTs (British Association for Fair Trade Shops), and also with a number of unregistered suppliers who we feel comfortable working with on an ethical level, who have shared their working practices with us.  We are happy with the provenance of our stock, and will continue to seek out new ethically motivated suppliers.

 

 

We stock a variety of wiccan/pagan items, from Cauldrons to Wands.. Please call for details.

We have cauldrons. Cast Iron ones.. you could even cook in them!  Perfect for holding charcoal discs to burn resin incense on, or to mix up your favourite potion.  They are cast iron, heat proof, ( so you can put them over a flame) and really rather wonderful in a cauldrony sort of way!

Ruby Moon is our sister shop in High Wycombe. A more student orientated version of Sapphire. All your cosmic creature comforts! 01494 513005.

www.rubymoon.co.uk is now online, so feel free to have a look. The site is in progress..please bear with me as it is being built.. Ruby is a bit different to Sapphire, in that we stock a lot more of the alternative stuff, that you would usually have to go to Camden High Street for. We have a fantastic range of body piercing jewellery, and are always ready to help you.. Its an oasis of calm in the madness that is High Wycombe these days..

Tibetan Schools Fund Postcards

We are very pleased to also being able to be involved with the Tibetan Schools Fund. The Shuxiong Schools Fund was set up in 2001, when Carol Turner was asked to help a monk running a little school for 16 children in the Retreat of an old monastery on the side of the Mt Baima, which forms the watershed between the upper Yangtze and Mekong rivers in northern Yunnan. There was a desperate desire for Tibetan schooling in this region and within a few months, even with assistance from other monks, there were so many pupils the situation became unmanageable and the school split into two.

Baimaxueshan School
With running costs provided by this Fund, half the pupils moved into an old village hall at Ringye Gongka, further down the mountain. By funding a water system from a mountain stream 12 km away to a barren site, this Fund facilitated a school building project by the World Wildlife Fund (China), which now manages the area as a Nature Reserve, to protect its extraordinary flora and fauna.

Tondashun School
Meanwhile the original monk and over 40 pupils were helped by the people of Tondashun village further up the mountain, who built temporary school accommodation. With prompting and support from this Fund, application was made for a site for proper school buildings. The school was then moved further up the mountain where weather conditions proved very severe and the children survived a further three years, sleeping under canvas and studying in appalling conditions.

Thanks to the wonderful generosity of its supporters, the Fund has been able to provide new buildings for this school.

We are selling the postcards that help to fund these projects in the shop, and they will shortly be available via mail order from this website.  The whole £2.50 per pack goes to the fund, and Sapphire Moon does not take any percentage for selling the cards.  However, if they are to be sent via mail order, we will have to charge a post and packing fee of £1.50 per pack. Discount for larger quantities.
