Holloway Oak Goddess Figurine (AP033)

This wonderful Goddess is newly crafted from the root of a windfallen ancient oak. The tree grew within a beautiful holloway, a lane walked by people dating back into the mists of time (read more here). The piece contains a wonderful range of colours and markings within the wood.

The Goddess is filled with dried fly agaric, betony, mugwort, and the root of enchanter's nightshade.

Fly agaric is a famous fungi known from mythology and fairy tales, and is considered to have strong associations with witchcraft and the Fae.

Betony is traditionally associated with protection, both of the area surrounding it, and of the person carrying or wearing it. If placed beneath the pillow, it's considered to protect the sleeper against nightmares. It's also associated with dispelling negativity and soothing tensions.

Enchanter's nightshade has long associations with witchcraft and sorcery. It's considered to aid inner conflict and has been traditionally used to find balance by bringing opposites together. Binding, hexing and enchantment is also associated with this beautiful herb. It is also connected with the goddess of the moon, and was used in spells and rituals to call upon her power.

Mugwort has been used for millennia to to aid clairvoyance, lucid dreaming and astral projection. Our ancestors drank tea made from the leaves and it has also been used in incenses or smoked to induce visions. In times past it was considered to act as a protective charm, warding off evil.

The herbs are sealed inside with a plug of Samhain-gathered hawthorn.

The base has a bindrune for protection added, and this can be seen in the last photo.

The figurine is free-standing on a flat surface and is wonderfully tactile - perfect for holding during sleep or meditation.

A wonderfully special piece made with real Celtic soul.
