Spyrit Dancers' Musings On All Things Wiccan

If you notice the set we made I posted about earlier, one thing that is missing is a goblet. We wanted to make one, but as far as my husband and I knew, there wasn’t any way to glaze the chalice and make it safe to drink out of without firing it.

We stopped yesterday at a local craft store and told her our dilemna. Both of us have worked with greenware in the past, but it was 20 years ago. We happily found out that times and materials have changed. And we found a glaze we can spray on that will coat the chalice and make it safe to drink out of. Whooo hoo!

So my husband carved a chalice last night, and it has the triple moon on the front of it like our cauldron does. We also have a triple moon tile that we can use to burn our self-igniting incense we will be coming out with in the next week in. This will give us a more complete altar set than we had before.

I’m also going to have him carve a Libations dish, and a bowl for water. Along with our wands that we make, that will give you everything you need for your altar, and it will be a matched set. And the best thing, it is all hand made in the USA by a practicing Wiccan and her helpful husband…not some factory in a 3rd world country.

I told him I want a purple set of everything. Have I mentioned I love purple? I tend to wear a lot of it, and my office walls are painted a light lilac color with dark purple flecks that have glitter in them. So I likes my purple.

Always great to be able to post that more products are coming soon!

My husband, who is a really good sculptor,  created a candle holder for taper candles, a cauldron  for burning incense, and a salt holder out of clay.  We poured the rubber yesterday, to make molds for all three items, and they molds should be cured by this afternoon.  Then the fun begins, we can start pouring them, and making the items.  Then each one will be hand finished and painted.

I plan on having candle holders and candle sets for the four directions, and two for the altar candles.  This first cauldron has the triple moon symbol on the side and is very cool looking.  My husband is an airbrush artist too, so you can be sure each one will be unique, and a work of art.  I can’t wait to get them listed up.  This is his first item that he will be crafting start to finish for me, so I’m hoping they sell well for him.

Most of the candle holders I’ve seen for taper candles for the directions are kinda cool, like stars and stuff, but lets face it, those types of candles drip and since I do rituals indoors, I’d end up with a carpet covered in candle wax.

So he designed a candle holder that has a reservoir that will hold the wax for you.  It wouldn’t hold an entire candle’s worth, but it would definitely hold a few hours worth to get you through any rituals and ceremonies.    Stay tuned for the posting.
