Hello all and happy spring!
Just wanted to let you all know about a new product line I just launched over at Lady Rosamonde's Garden,
my Etsy store.
My Tree Spirit Vessel necklaces feature tiny specimens from eight species of tree (one type of tree per necklace) encapsulated in a glass vial with an appropriately-selected charm. All specimens were wildcrafted with the proper offerings, seven of them by me personally and one by another Pacific Northwest witch.
I handknitted the cords for the necklaces from nettle yarn (yes, nettle! it calls to mind fairy tales, but people have been spinning nettle into a durable yarn very similar to hemp for thousands of years) combined with other natural fibers such as silk, hemp, wool, and cotton. These light, easy to wear necklaces have been blessed on my altar and may be worn not only to honor and work with the species of tree spirit represented (and invoke its properties into your life and your magic), but also as a talisman that provides a link to the Great Tree, Yggdrasil, for the purposes of spirit work and hedgecrossing.
Choose from rowan, yew, blackthorn, hawthorn, oak, birch, crabapple, and willow! Here's a peek at the rowan necklace, below:
You can read more about the necklaces on
my blog, or if you'd like to take a look at all eight of them and learn more about the trees featured, come visit me at
my Etsy store. And thanks for looking!
