Sacred Wood Wands
The wands are handmade in rural Wales, by the Talog Witch, a woman who has been studying and teaching sacred Celtic traditions for decades. Her work is exquisite. All of the wands are made from "gifted" wood. She never cuts a living branch, only using fallen ones. Some of the wands have copper spirals wound around them, some are plain with simple carvings, and some are wound with crystal lithics. All are one of a kind. All of the wands have handwritten descriptions with traditional meanings of the wood as well as energies specific to the particular wand. You can stop in to see what we have, or if you are too far away, we can take some individual photos to help you select the wand that is yours.

Dictynna, goddess of the labyrinth
Labrys Goddess of Crete, Dictynna, dances into our universe. Dressed in nets, She is neither naked nor clad, and lines of force surround Her. Double axes, or labryses, exclaim her active Feminine Energy. Worshippers, in the original palace fresco, throw their arms up in amazement at her appearance.
The labrys is also a symbol of the female community of Lesbos who worshipped only the Goddess in nature and in each other.
The original "She who must be obeyed," Dictynna lived on top of Mount Dicta. Her powerful name lives on in our words "dictate" and "edict."
[From Knossos mural, 2000 BCE] Handpainted Resin.

Willendorf goddess statue
Willendorf Goddess represents Gaia, Mother Earth in all her raw and fertile splendor. The proud stance of this great-breasted nurturer, one of the earliest religious images of the Mother Goddess, is a powerful reminder that there is a standard for feminine beauty other than the one set by Madison Avenue.

Dreaming Goddess of Malta
Dreaming Goddess of Malta is Goddess of the Shamanic Journey. Following the influence of dream imagery is one of the most ancient techniques of spiritual growth. Native American "vision quests" and Tibetan "dream yoga" are but two traditional examples of a practice whose modern champions include Karl Jung and Joseph Campbell. On the Mediterranean island of Malta, underground temple chambers shaped like the body of the goddess facilitated this practice. Invite this inspirer and fulfiller of dreams to your altar or bedside. [National Museum, Valetta, Malta; c. 3200 BCE

Hecate with torches statue
Hearing from the utmost depths, the dread Goddess approached, all entwined with fearsome serpents and leaves of oak, amidst a shimmering blaze of torchlight; while all around her chthonic hounds bayed shrilly, all the meadows trembled at her footfall, and the nymphs of marshland and river cried aloud.
So enters Hecate moving through the night. The only Goddess powerful enough to travel the three worlds: heaven, earth and underworld.
This image comes from the site of the famous Eleusian Mystery School. The rites concerned Hecate leading Persephone back from the underworld with her torches to embrace her mother, Demeter, and bring spring back to the world. A caring and personal guide, Hecate show us the way to and from her Mysteries. She is a key-holder and light-bringer, protector and transitioner. Gatekeeper and guide. Images of Hecate often guarded the doorway to the inner sanctuary of the Mysteries. Here she hurries through the night looking back to ensure we follow and do not loose our way at the crossroads.
