It's been really busy for me lately, with events and commissions and keeping the online shops ticking over. I have made some rather nice staffs lately, most of which have new homes. Here are some pics of them )0(

Elder Mother Staff from MoonsCrafts
Elder Mother Staff at 6 foot tall. This one had labradorite and white catseye crystal spheres and a removal cord and crow fetish. Rehomed at Lammas camp.

Unfortunately I can't make staffs for overseas customers as the shipping is extortionate.

Ritual Cords from MoonsCrafts

This past week I have been making Ritual Cords...ritual cords are used for counting chants, meditating, spell casting and for use in ritual. My particular take on the ritual cord is that I have a fully working mini wand on the end of the cord which is tied into the cord's magical associations. Here are some of my latest creations.

The Gateway Pendulum


The Gateway Pendulum in alder. The alder tree is the gateway tree, the doorway to other worlds. Travel to the other side of the veil to speak to the ancestors using this wood as a portal or psychopomp. There are protocol for doing this, always protect yourself, keep your reasons for asking the ancestors clear and concise along with your questioning. Don't expect to like what answers you are given but remember they are sent from the universe and via ancient wisdom and should be respected. Alder is the darkest tree, but lesser known for its funereal uses and darker mythologies. Alder links life and death together via a single breath. This pendulum is pyrographed with a doorway. it has a handmade copper spiral which delves deep into the wood and connects it to the cord. The beads are black glass lampwork, hematite and bone, and the pendulum is finished with a black silk cord and a large bronze doorway charm. REHOMED today )0(
