The words they only say where you're from, the jokes you grew up with, the stories from before bedtime. Small doses of magic that disappear if nobody looks after them.
We Magikitos keep them safe.
Everything sounds like whoever tells it, voice and craft and all, and that is where the magic is.
Everything people bring gets voted with mushrooms, and that vote makes it more or less visible around the site.
Record straight from your browser, nothing to install. It is your chance to let your inner Magikito shine.
To fly with your imagination and your little eyes closed

A random handful of what people love most. Hit “More” for another round, never repeating what you have already heard.

"Fire means cool or wicked. It can be said to describe something's popularity or relevance in pop culture. For example, yo those sneakers are nice man, I also like the earrings too, they are fire."

"Locked in, it basically means, like, focus on something, like, be, like, seriously focused on it. It could be, you know, for exams or for anything, literally, mainly used for, like, studying and exams. But it could be maybe, like, for an event or for, like, the gym as well, you know, to lock in to get, like, a better body or something. An example would be, oh my god, summer's in literally three months, I need to lock in if I want to go out to the beach and stuff."

No molds. No hurry.
Carmen shapes every figure by hand in her Taramundi workshop. Several days of work per piece, with little touches from the forest: twigs, moss and leaves.
Perfect to brighten up your place or give as a proper gift
These are some of the people who have shared their good vibes here
What you ask the Magikitos most often on WhatsApp and by email.
It is a collection of good vibes told out loud. People do not come here to post weekend selfies, they come to leave something far more powerful: their own voice telling a joke, a story or that expression only their town says. You can grab a handmade Magikito if the idea grabs you, sure, but almost everything here is free and made by all of us together.
Not at all. Listening, reading, playing the Shroometer or nosing around the Slangtionary does not cost a penny. The shop is there in case you fancy taking a little creature home. It is simply a way for me to make a couple of quid, pay my taxes and fill the fridge now and then.
Of course. You record it straight from your browser, nothing to install: you put your voice in, add effects if you like and hit publish. We clean up the sound and, for stories, lay a little music underneath. It keeps your name on it so other people can enjoy it.
Easier than opening a yoghurt. You write the expression and tell us what it means in your own voice. A guardian Magikito checks it over and publishes it with your name on it. And if you spot a mistake on an entry somebody else made, you can ask the guardian Magikito to take another look.
Well, being the proper Magikitos we are, we measure everything in setines, which work both for measuring the absolutely relative magnitude of things and for reputation around here: you earn them by bringing stuff in and they show up on your profile. They are the sign that you have brought good vibes to the community.
They are made of cold porcelain and a lot of love. Inside there is a wire frame, recycled paper and wadding. Then they get dressed in scraps of fabric I collect as I go along, and I add all sorts of little bits and pieces I pick up here and there.
Each Magikito takes several days in the workshop, decent materials and human hands that get it wrong, do it again and put everything they have into making something lovely. It is not a factory figurine. The price is what makes it possible to pay for the materials, the taxes, the shipping and to keep the whole thing going.
Between 3 and 10 days. The little parcel gets packed with care once you order it and goes off to the courier as soon as possible. Sometimes it moves faster and sometimes slower, but you can always track it to see how it is doing.
