Heretic’s Rosary #7

The Augury - The Soothsayer

Flash of silver, and feathers hewn

Gods of old speak through entrails strewn.

Blood from trees, and drops from earth

Celestial symbols and instinct, worth.

Bones, they conjure, and ancestral oath

Accord is struck neath undergrowth.

Corvid curse and bitter truth,

The purpose is set by witch, forsooth.

This one has been brewing in my head for a bit, but one main component I refused to make this without was Baltic Amber. After a haggle battle with some Russians, I finally got some this past weekend.

Baltic amber and antique three-eyed bone beads on black tourmaline chain. Large rough cut garnet connector with Carrion Crow foot, midnight labradorite and onyx pendant.

Made and charged on the full moon, smoke cleansed in copal and marigold. I’m lucky to know the person who bought this. Familiar with their background, we chatted about Heretic’s Rosary #6 and my plans for this one. So thank you @dylanstarottemple for trusting my vision and the energy put into this piece. I can’t wait to see you use it.

Heretics Rosary #9

The Shapeshifter’s Circlet - The Trickster Crow

For sale here

Crows have been a part of history for eons. They cross cultures and time as omens, harbingers, watchers, shapeshifters, tricksters, symbols of life, luck, wisdom, and as witch familiars.

Midnight labradorite beads connect to transformation, especially from dark to light. Things appear one way, hiding alternative aspects. Mystery lies within the depths.

Pyrite beads in sections of 8, the number of infinity on sterling silver chain. Fools gold, the currency of tricksters offers passage for the witch. Iron and fire hide behind an alluring exterior. Infinite fates, endless paths, and unknown pasts ripple through each person.

Antique three-eyed bone bead grounds the individual; though appearances change, and airs put forward, at their core, the witch stands stalwart, it’s felt in the bones.

The physical tether of the crow hangs down with an antique black glass pearl, the eye of the crow, hanging from an English Carrion Crow foot (ethically collected).The bridge between worlds, the omnivorous crow pulls life from death, heavens to earth. It adapts to its surroundings, changing as needed.

Patience is the trade of the crow, waiting for the perfect moment it balances need and want, care and disregard are weighed with the wisdom of the Corvid. It watches as do we, and waits for the moment to take what is deserved or coveted.

Non-Heretic’s Rosary

But still not the one you’re thinking

Mary, Our Lady Of Sorrows
Nuestra Señora de Guadalupe 
She will always hold a special place in my heart, so I made her rosary for my mother in law for her birthday. 
Unlike the usual rosary, the 7 Sorrows is in dedication to Mary as an archetypal mother, representing the struggles and pain that all mothers have the potential to experience. Going through the “seven sorrowful mysteries” from hearing the prophecy her son would die, to burying him.

Guardian of mothers, children, sacrifice and the downtrodden.

It was the only rosary I resonated with growing up, and one I utilize during curanderismo for certain clients.

The rosary starts at the drop pendant with a rough amethyst, midnight labradorite and garnet. The main rosary consists of labradorite and moonstones on silver chain.

To clarify, it’s an actual catholic rosary, just not as well known as the usual rosary
