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.

All the cords above are REHOMED )0(

The Shamanic Wand

I'm quite fascinated at the moment with Shamanism and Shamanic practices. I wanted to create something that was primitive and yet unique so I used a negative style of pyrography to create this design on Hornbeam. The design holds representations of shamanic animals, wolf, Native American Thunder Bird, the arrow of power and on the other side the eye in the sun, the snake etc. I love this effect. The wand itself is spirited yet melancholy, like taking a walk on a grey day. This wand now has a new home )0(
