Is it a gift?

I write a blessing card to go with each piece. So if it's a gift and you let me know the name of the person i can address the blessing to them making it more personal.

All of these pieces are made in my Temple Studio, with a focus on creating potent objects that can be given as special gifts, used as magical tools, or worn as touch stone connectors to your wisdom keepers, inner guides, ancestral memories or land spirits.

I create in the hope that these pieces will serve as physical ode poems to your own wild wisdom, maps to the song lines of your being, ritual tools that help to give your

intention direction.

Product Details

This sculpture is born from my bodies yearning to express the process of menopause that I edge ever closer to. She does not express the potential of night sweats, mind fog, dietary problems, libido shifts, instead she is a reminder to lean into and rest as easefully as I can into the change.

She reminds us all that, although initiation is hard, it is death after all, it can be handled with grace, and gratitude that we are women and that our mode is to change to constantly be reinitiated by our bodies yearning. She is a representation of acceptance and even, at times, when it can be managed, glee at the new becoming.

She features a river like coursing gorge down her front expressing the opening of our bodies to the change and her head is encrusted with a barnacle, or rock like texture connecting her to the land and the sea, the stabiilty of this body we inhabit, like the constancy of the earth and also the constant change like the sea.

This part of my process is now completed in making her and I offer her out to one of you, to sit upon your altar, or somewhere else meaningful in your home, to serve as a guide for you.

Spirits of Place

Spirit of Place pieces are created by using reusable moulds to take textures of rocks, tree or plants at special places. I think of these textures like the grooves in a record, tracing your finger tip over them recalls the essence of the place.

To commission your own Spirit of Place piece, you can contact me and i will send you a piece of re-mouldable material.

Prices for these pieces vary dependent on size, material and style of hanging so we can discuss those details once you have contacted me.

Animist Apothecary Spirit Bundles

These little pouches contain symbolic pieces chosen as medicine for the wearer. They are sown shut, each stitch binding the elements closely together, closing the spell and sealing it into the bag. These bundles are seed spells woven simply with the elements and the consciousness with which they are chosen and given. Under the receivers attention a relationship can develop with the Spirit Bundles enlivening the elements and kindling the fire of the spell. Like the doll in Vasilisa of the fairytales pocket the piece will require focus and attention until it's work is done.

Commissioned Spirit Bundles can be made one of two ways, either through your request i will choose the elements for its contents, or its creation can include a Bone Reading to help define the direction that this Spirit Bundle will take. These pieces are £85, each one is totally hand made, one of a kind piece made especially for you.
