New Gods and Goddesses series

 I have been working very hard to complete the designs for this  new series, Gods and Goddesses, and I have completed the first five pendants. These are large statement pieces for either wearing or hanging in your sacred space. I have included a small amount of info on each deity, just for your reference.

Brighid

In Celtic religion Brighid is the daughter of the Dagda and one of the Tuatha De Danann. She has two sisters, also named Brighid and is considered a Celtic triple Goddess. She is the patroness of poetry, smithing, medicine, arts and crafts, cattle and other live stock. She is also associated with fire in all its forms and is seen as a Goddess of hearth and home. She is celebrated at Imbolc, 2nd February, the Celtic first day of spring. Animal correspondences for Brighid include the swan, ewe, dairy cows, bees and serpents

The Brighid pendant has a carnelian cabochon set in the center. Surrounding this are the feathers of the swan which is nestled at the side of the carnelian. Flames of inspiration lick at the bottom of the stone completing the piece. This one is not quite as large as the others.
Approx 8.6cm long, 5cm at widest point.
£26 plus P&P

 Cerridwen

Cerridwen is a Celtic Goddess belonging to Wales. She is keeper of the cauldron of inspiration, knowledge and transformation.
She is concerned with education, arts, knowledge, intelligence and creativity as well as agriculture and magick. She is considered the patron of poetry, wisdom and grain. Animal correspondences for Cerridwen include the white sow, greyhound, otter, hawk and hen.

The Cerridwen pendant has a large oval ladbradorite cabochon, set so that it looks like the magic brew bubbling away in the cauldron. Finished with metallic black and copper paint this piece has been given a gloss varnish to enhance the beauty of the stone.
Approx 10cm long, 5.5cm at widest point
supplied with a brown adjustable cord
£28 plus P&P

 Hecate

Hecate is a Greek Goddess, most often shown holding two torches and a key and in later times she is often depicted in triple form with her hounds by her side. She is associated with crossroads, entranceways, fire, light, the moon, magick and withcraft among other things. She was one of the main deities worshiped in Athenian households as a protective Goddess and one who bestowed prosperity and daily blessings on the family. In modern times she seems to have gained a reputation as a slightly ‘darker’ Goddess although I am not sure that I agree with that!

The Hecate pendant is set with a teardrop black agate that has a small square area of translucent white with a darker circle on it. Hecate is cloaked and accompanied by a snake and a small Hecate's wheel symbol.
Approx 9cm long, approx 5cm at widest point, supplied with an adjustable brown cord
£28 plus P&P

 Arianrhod

Arianrhod is a Welsh Goddess of the moon, fate and fertility and her name means silver wheel. The circumpolar stars, Caer Arianrhod, never set below the horizon and are allegedly the resting place for souls before reincarnation. Her silver wheel is often depicted as a wheel of stars, the wheel of fate or the divine spinning wheel, weaving the web of destiny.

This Arianrhod pendant has a round, highly pollished Devioian coral fossil from Africa (400 million years old) to represent the moon above her head and surrounding the moon is a wheel of stars.
Approx 9cm long and 5cm wide at the widest point
Supplied with a brown adjustable cord
£28 plus P&P

Gaia

In Greek mythology Gaia was the great Mother of all, the personification of the Earth.It is written that Gaia was born from the Chaos, the great void of emptiness within the universe and with her came Eros. Gaia then created everything: the land, the sky, the other Deities and the human race. ‘All producing and all nourishing’ she had many, many children. She gave birth to the Titans, the first race on the Earth and produced monsters and deities alike as well as populating the earth with countless creatures. She is honoured in modern times as a possible saviour of the Earth during these times of pillage and looting.

This Gaia pendant has a teardrop shaped moss agate cabochon, representing the womb of Mother Earth. The water of life flows freely from her collecting in a sacred spiral pool.
Approx 9cm long, 6cm wide
Supplied with a brown adjustable cord
£28 plus P&P

Witches bottles

 Front view,Mother Earth Witches/spell/wish/potion bottle
Recycled glass,square, approx 12cm
£20.50 plus P&P-one available


 Magical little bottles for your wishes or spells. Also larger bottles for potions, spells or witches bottles.

Witches bottles have been used for centuries. Originally they were designed to protect people against witchcraft and sorcery. Nowadays Witches themselves use them, mainly as a home protection spell.
The bottle is normally made of glass or pottery and contains items such as pins, rusty nails, broken glass and the urine of the person making the charm (this provides a magickal link to the person and although does not sound pleasant, it is thought to be a most powerful ingredient in a witches bottle). The sharp objects are used to deflect bad luck and ill fortune. Salt can be added for purification along with other items of your choice. (I always say, as long as you know why you are using something in a spell, almost anything goes.) I have added Hawthorn thorns from my garden, graveyard dirt, garlic, cactus spikes and egg shells to various protection bottles in the past.
The intention of the witches bottle is protection for you and your family, including family that visit your property and any pets that live with you, protection against any negative forces, protection against damage to your property whether from vandalism or the elements and allowing no ill will to pass beyond your door into your home. The bottle will reflect negativity and harm back to the sender- you are not sending out any ill will or negativity, just asking that what has been sent gets returned to sender. It is important to remember this as you do not want to be sending out negativity yourself.

The bottles can be charged up with chants or during ritual or spell working. They can be buried in the front of your property or hidden by your front door. I suggest either re doing them or charging them back up at least once a year to keep them working effectively.
If you purchase a witches bottle I can supply you with a list of ingredients and a chant to help you put together your own bottle- free of charge, just ask when making your purchase.
