More ritual cords ...

Had a really busy couple of months during which time I created some lovelies. I'll put a few of them below so you can see what I've been doing. Some were commissions, some where straight from my imagination )0(

Brighids Cord was from my imagination. A lovely cord which is now rehomed :)

Our Lady of Avalon was a commission. The symbol is the chalice well. 

Another commission but this one had a little wolf athame crafted from yew.

Lilith's Pendulum

Liliths Pendulm. This pendulum is crafted from willow. Lets talk about Lilith and move our way through the symbolism of this piece. It is believed that the goddess Lilith is a more recent representation of the Sumerian Goddess Belili the Sumerian White Goddess of the willow, wells and springs, goddess of trees, a moon goddess, love goddess, and underworld goddess. This treasure is now REHOMED )0(

Hecate's Key Pendulum

This is Hecate's Key Pendulum in yew. Yew is one of Hecate's five sacred trees and perhaps the most apt. Hecate is the crone aspect of the triple goddess although she encompasses all three phases. Hecate stands at the Triple crossroads and guards the gateway to the otherworld. Greek in origin her popularity for goddess worship is on the rise. The symbol on the pendulum is Hecate's symbol. Invoke Hecate for knowledge, wisdom, to speak to the ancestors and those on the other side of the veil, but respect her at all costs.

Morrigan's pendulum

This pendulum is created from Blackthorn which is one of Goddess Morrigan's sacred trees but perhaps the one that represents her the best. The tip is onyx, the triskele is pyrographed, this is the symbol that is the gateway to the other worlds   Then the beads in onyx, obsidian and carnelian are added to enhance the intent of the enquirer and  also magnify the energy of the piece. The pendulum is created in the colours of Morrigan, red and black and finally there is a raven charm at the end of the pendulum. Morrigan was said to gather at the edge of a battlefield and then would shape-shift into ravens which would go and retrieve the skulls and souls of the fallen warriors and transport them to the other world. Invoke her with respect.

Breath of Life Wand

Created this one this week. Finally my art work is beginning to flow. This is on Lilac Wood and is topped with a rough quartz point bound with white leather. The image is pyrographed and then painted. The spirals represent the breath flowing through the goddess with the spiral of life on her stomach and the cobweb of the weaver godddess for a face, and up to the tree of life. On the back of the wand is a little butterfly to represent air and transformation. Lilac wood is a lovely creamy dense wood that is quite heavy. It is sacred to Gemini, Mercury and is an Air Element. You can purchase this wand on Etsy
