About

Taxil Hoax is an artisanal alchemist brand rooted in ancient cultures, myth, magic, and the natural world. We create talismans to bring comfort, power, and act as an extension of the wearer. Each piece is meant to tell a story, and bring back the ritual of adornment meant to honor our ancestors and our bodies.

Embedded in magic, the pieces are like unearthed treasures, or artifacts waiting to speak their story. In every piece, we mindfully evoke feelings of beauty, nostalgia, and ancient mysterious realms.

Each piece is handcrafted by Lola Jane in her studio in the mountains of California. She has been making art of various sorts her entire life and lives her imagination, believing in surrounding yourself with beauty and wonder to creating the dreamy world that helps fulfill your happiness.

She began Taxil Hoax in 2011 while finishing up a degree in Environmental Studies in San Francisco. She began her journey pieceing together colleceted antique trinkets in an old factory artist loft.

That passion continued and grew as she learned different techniques to create magical pieces. She has also worked with wildlife for much of her life as well as worked as an archaelogist for the Forest Service. These parts of her can often be seen in her work as they are still a part of who she is. She lives with her two children, immersed in nature and wildlife.

"For the eternal law is that there is no light without shade, no beauty without ugliness, no white without black, for the absolute can only exist as two gods; darkness being necessary for light to serve as its foil as the pedestal is necessary to the statue, and the brake to the locomotive...."
