Spyrit Dancers' Musings On All Things Wiccan

I finished up my candles, put energy into them, then lit them, and they are on my altar now, sending healing energy on cat angel wings to my son and his fiance. Here is a picture of them.

The wand is the wand I made for myself out of mesquite, with an amethyst point, and purple suede.  The table they are on is my working table for spells in progress, and yes, I really do have light purple closet doors. I put their names on the front of the candles.  They are a blend of soy and candillia wax, with blackberry leaves, mesquite leaves, lemon balm, Myrrh and a bit of cat nip (for the cat angles) ground up and embedded in the wax, along with 6 rose quartz chips.  I also added a few drops of rosemary essential oil, and pine essential oil but not enough to make them scented.  The next batch I make will have lavender to make them lavender scented, as I have a lot more of that scent.

I also put a little cat angel on the back, and the rune URUZ for healing.

Then I added some paw prints.   These were a real labor of love, and took quite a while to make.  I will have some additional ones available on my store soon.

This past few weeks has been tough as far as my cats go.  First, Momma Amelia and Two Tone show up after what looked like being tortured, and and Two Tone doesn’t make it and has to be put to sleep.  Meanwhile, her brother, has a genetic defect, and has to be put to sleep.

Then Friday, I went into the garage to feed the cats, and found the cat we trapped and had fixed on Tues, curled up dead.  So I buried her on our property, feeling terribly guilty for taking her in.  I tell myself, she might have had other issues going on, or been sick, as all the rest have survived the surgery no problem.

When Jim and I talked about Two Tone was on the other side of the veil, helping his brother and sister that remain become more domesticated, so we can move them in the house, inspiration was born.  The idea of “Cat Angels” came to me, and although not a new idea, I brewed it in the back of my head.

At the same time, I’ve been trying to come up with a craft item I could use cat food cans for, as we are going through dozens a week feeding the strays and our kitties.  So while burying our last stray on Friday, and praying to the Goddess over her, I came up with the idea of Cat Angel Candles.

I’m currently working on the first batch, which is a labor of love.  We take the labels off, clean them really well, then soak them in bleach water for a few hours to get any lingering traces of food off them.  Then we clean them with acetone to get the label glue off them.  Then the fun begins, as I take a dremel and patiently grind down all the left-over bits of the lids to make them purrrfectly smooth inside.

I had gotten about this far with the first batch, when I found out my Son was in the hospital Friday afternoon, and his Fiance was also having health issues.  So my candles have evolved into Cat Angels helping with healing.  My first candles are for the two of them.  I gathered every healing herb I have on my property (a bit of mesquite for healing, lemon balm,  and blackberry) then added cinnamon and Myrrh and ground it with a mortar and pestal.   I also added rosemary and pine essential oils for healing too.

I’m using a blend of soy and candelilla wax for vegan candles.  Finally as the candles set, I placed rose quartz chips in the top of the wax for further healing energies.

The outside of the can will be personalized with their names, the rune URUZ for healing, and of course, cat paw prints.  I’ll post up pictures later on today when I’m finished.

Once I finish theirs, and set them on my working altar along with their pictures to send them healing energy, I’ll start making some to sell in my online stores.  I plan on donating 25% of the proceeds to Pahrump SNAPS, a wonderful local organization that is helping me get all my stray cats spayed/neutered for me.  They also provide discount shots for pets, which I took advantage of yesterday and dragged my 4 indoor cats down and got all their shots updated.  I helped fill shots for the vet, and will be volunteering once a month to help out doing it for them.

So although we have had a lot of heartache this past week, from our cats to my son (who is doing much better, and hopes to be out of the hospital today…I’m hoping my healing prayers have been helping), sorrow has spawned a craft idea that will help us raise money for a worthy charity, and raise money so we can continue to feed stray cats no one else would love but us.

Handmade Cauldron, Candle Holders, Salt Holder and Altar Tile for a Wiccan Altar – Set2

This listing is for a set of altar tools completely handcrafted and one of a kind!

Included are:
4 candle holders for the four directions
Two candle holders for the Goddess and God
A cauldron for burning incense in
A salt holder
A Blessed Be Altar Tile
A Goblet For Making Blessed Water In
6 Taper Candles (Yellow, Green, Red, Blue, Black White)

More about how this set was crafted
————————————-

This set is 100% handmade from scratch, except for the candles. First, my husband carved clay for all the items. Then we created rubber molds, and then each item was cast using an all natural stone-like product used in the construction industry for repairing walls.

The items were then hand painted with copper color paint. Then we used a green paint to give it a patina look. Finally, we painted the bottoms and added felt feet so they wouldn’t scratch your altar. (not shown)

Dimensions:
Cauldron: 4 1/2″ wide and 2 1/4″ tall
Goblet: 3″ tall and 3 1/2″ in diameter
Salt holder: 2 1/4″ wide by 1 1/2″ tall
Altar tile: 4 3/4″ in diameter and 1/2″ tall
Candle holders: 3 1/4″ in diameter and 1 1/2″ tall to the tallest point.
Candles: 6″ tall tapers

The candle holders are my design and have a “mote” around the candle holder. Most candle holders I’ve found for altars allowed the taper candles to melt over them and onto the floor or your alter, creating a waxy mess. These candle holders will contain the wax that drips during your ritual, to help keep your altar and/or floor clean during rituals. The candles fit tightly, so you might have to pare the ends slightly to get them to fit. Don’t force the candles in.

The Cauldron can be used to burn incense in safely. You can either use self-starting powered incense, or place a charcoal in the bottom, and sprinkle herbs/incense/resins on the charcoal. You can also put a bit of clay or silly putty in the bottom, and stick a piece of stick incense in it to burn. You can also use your Cauldron to mix spells in.

The goblet has been sprayed with a clear sealer to make it waterproof, so it can be used to make blessed water in, or hold wine.

The Triple moon sticks out almost 1/2″ from the side of the cauldron, giving it a unique look. All in all, this set is a wonderful set for a beginning witch, or a treasured set for one who has been practicing the craft for years!

This set took a lot of time for my husband and I to create. We hope that you enjoy something that we really enjoyed working on together for your altar!

Note: although these are cast with a stone-like material, they are not unbreakable, and can be broken if dropped, so care is needed to keep from breaking.

It has an antiqued copper bail, that has a sun symbol on the back. The back has been sealed with a glaze making it water resistant, but not water proof. You should remove the necklace before swimming or bathing.

I’ve been thinking about this for some time, as some of my chunky friends of facebook, and have been posting up articles about how thin is in, despite the fact that a whole lot of us are not size fours. (Or even 14′s).  So I wanted to do something that celebrated not only the Goddess, but curvy women.  After looking around for various mediums, I decided on an altered art type glass pendant.  (which talking with my husband this morning, might evolve into something else eventually.)

So My “Real Goddesses have Curves” necklaces were born.  I have some that feature the Venus of Willendorf  Mother Goddess figure on them.  And some that feature artwork I purchased from the artist with the words added to them.  All of them hand made by me.   Check out my Etsy Store and pick one up. If you follow my blog, follow me on twitter, or join my facebook fan page, you can get 10% off!

This is really nice! It is a blank Witch’s Book of Spells, adorned with trees on the front on the front, and moons around the edges. The words Witches Spell Book are in raised letters. The witch is actually a witch on a broom pen that is tied on the front with a leather thong. When you take her off, she is a pen you can write in your Spell Book with! The book is bound with a gold cord with gold tassels. It has aprox 80 sheets of blank spell casting paper inside you can write spells, a Book of Shadows, messages, a diary, your witches journal or notes.

It is aprox: 8″ high and 6″ wide and 1/2″ thick. The front and back covers are made out of cold cast resin, sculpted in great detail, hand-painted and highlighted in gold leaf. The area where the gold cord threads through to bind it looks like a tree trunk.

The Witch is pretty detailed and she is holding the end of the broom she is riding on, wearing a blue hat with stars. This would be great for any Witch or Harry Potter fan as a great gift!

This is not a handmade item, which is why it is in Supplies, but rather made by Nemesis Now out of the UK. It is a heavy book, and the cord can be removed so you can add more pages should you wish.
