Brigid's Mantle Ritual Robes + Altar Cloth
After many months of dark nights through autumn, winter, and into the dawn of spring, the Brigid's Mantle is finally complete. This piece was a fully lived experience of sitting close with An Cailleach and the loom as remedial medicine through deep grief and hardship, until at last, just as the seasonal wheel turned toward the growing light of spring, I felt and experienced her annual renewal at the healing well to emerge as the Goddess Saint Brigid. Handwoven in 100% cotton, with ample hood, 3 live edge wooden buttons, double breasted front, 2 conveniently deep pockets, and an altar cloth that can be fastened and worn as a shoulder sash or tossed across as a draping scarf, these ritual robes are imbued with the promise of, and bone level Knowing that renewal will come, no matter how long those nights of the soul might be. The sizing is suitable for a curvy someone about 5'5" tall and could be hemmed shorter if needed. If this piece calls strongly to you, the homing fee is $1,800 Canadian + $20 shipping.

Salish Sea Shrug

With 3/4 sleeves, she perfect for cool evenings or for those who find wraps a little fussy. The first 5 inches from the cuff are hemmed so she can slide off your shoulders and hang about your elbows without worry of falling to the floor. Measurements upon request. |

Divination Shawl
Some of us are drawn to throw bones when seeking wise council. Some of us read the phases of the moon and work closely with cycle teachings, medicine wheels, or sacred archetypes and medicines within the circle. Some of us feel the urge to take our practice deeper. Some are called to finally begin. This homespun, handwoven, indigo dyed, wool Bone Casting Shawl wraps its companion in warmth and style while keeping divination tools close at hand. She comes with 3 pockets (YES! POCKETS!) and a woven pouch of collected bones to cast and read. Seal, Deer, Elk tooth, Bobcat tooth, Chicken, Moonsnail bored Clam shell, and Salmon jaw. Pull the hand carved driftwood brooch and spread this shawl on the forest floor, foreshore, lawn or table to toss bones onto the casting surface for in-the-moment divination needs. Adorned with handmade ceramic moon phase buttons aligned with the 4 directions/airts/winds, and of course the sovereign center within the sacred circle, the diviner is offered layers upon layers of information with every toss. Included with this piece is access to two online wisdom shares: "Divination Techniques ~ a strong foundation in 7 methods" plus "Cycle Teachings & Medicinal Wheels" as practice supports should one wish. Suitable for wear out and about in the town or only during ritual. She will undergo a dedication ceremony before being homed. |

From creation to flying the nest
A sweet reflection on some favourite pieces that have traveled from our hearth along with some images of their birthing processes. While some stay close and live here on the Upper Sunshine Coast, others have traveled to destinations across Canada and into the US. It warms my heart to know each is supporting sacred work, helping to heal, or are being used ritually ~ either in quietly personal ways or by ceremonialists during community ceremonies and private sessions. |
