Midnight Black RAVEN Witch's Altar Ladder / Silk Sari Handfasting Cord

א' בטבת תשע"א
Grael 4

When Goddess calls your name ...



Shrouded in mystery like the Mists of Avalon itself, pan-Celtic Welsh RAVEN Warrior Goddess Morgan Le Fay (Morgan the Faery), the great Sorceress-Witch Queen of the magical Isle, is known by many names including Morgaine le Fee, Modron, the Morrigan, Fata Morgana, Argante and Faery Morgana. She also has many titles including Great Queen, Queen of the Fairies, High Priestess, Queen of the Otherworld, Priestess Queen of Avalon and the Lady of the Lake.

In Celtic shamanism, RAVEN is associated with deep magic, profound intelligence, wisdom, prophecy, divination, winter, night, the hidden mysteries of death and transformation, creation, healing, the birth giving light at the center of our galaxy and the black hole at the center of the Universe, endurance, protection and the warrior arts.

Welsh witches are known to shapeshift into the form of RAVEN.



Handcrafted during the sacred midnight time of this mysterious creature, black RAVEN is made with witchy black ice yarn touched with threads of the silvery moon, handmade black silk sari ribbon touched with deep dark hues of blue like RAVEN's feathers, black satiny ribbon, nine handmade jet black round glass beads, 25 knots, a silver lead safe pewter Raven Skull charm and and silver metal Pentacle charm.

Nine is the diameter of the witch's sacred circle and the nine witches or Morgens of Avalon.

Twenty-five is the number of Ogham letters in the magical Celtic alphabet (including the fifth acime, added for use in manuscripts).

This amazing cord measures 56 inches, where 56 is the gematria-numerology of the magical Hebrew word בדים (altar staves).

Comes beautifully packaged.

COEL COETH - Yuletide Witch's Altar Ladder / Silk Sari Handfasting Cord

ז' בחשון תשע"א
Phasma Priscus 9

On Yule and its connection to the sacred circle of the witch, Mike Nichols [The Witches' Sabbats] writes:

"Ultimately, of course, the holiday is rooted deeply in the cycle of the year. It is the Winter Solstice that is being celebrated, seed-time of the year, the longest night and shortest day. It is the birthday of the new Sun King ... On this darkest of nights, the Goddess becomes the Great Mother and once again gives birth. And it makes perfect poetic sense that on the longest night of the winter, 'the dark night of our souls', there springs the new spark of hope, the Sacred Fire, the Light of the World, the COEL COETH.' At the Winter Solstice, the Circle is not yet a Circle; it is a Point. Specifically, it is the point at which spiritual energy manifests itself into the physical world. It is the divine spark, the sacred seed, the single cell, the incarnation, the universe in a mustard seed. In some ways, the Point is more inclusive than the Circle, since the Circle always implies a boundary, and a separation of that which is outside from that which is inside. The Point, however, can symbolize the All. At the Winter Solstice, we bless and purify this tiny dust-mote of Being, this Birth of the Circle, which is also All That Is. The Circle Is A Point."

We can see then that Yule is the perfect Sabbat in which to ground a sacred circle POWER POINT for the year in and with SACRED TIME.



Interestingly in parallel magic, the Hebrew word for the redemption of humankind's collective consciousness is called Geulah (גאולה). The Germanic and Northern European words for YULE - Geul and Giuli - would be spelled in Hebrew גאול and גאולי. The Hebrew shoresh (three letter root) of all these words is גול (gule, yule, jul) meaning rejoice! and express joy!



This joy filled Yuletide COEL COETH witch's altar ladder and handfasting cord is handcrafted with two types of burgundy satiny ribbon, handmade emerald green silk sari ribbon, 9 burgundy glass point-beads (where 9 is the diameter of a witch's sacred circle and represents the expansion and evolution of the Winter Solstice Point into a sacred line and into a sacred circle), a silver pewter Holly charm, a silver pewter pentacle and 24 knots (where 24 is the number of mystical forces represented in the Futhark Runic alphabet).

The cord measures 56 inches, where 56 is the gematria-numerology of the magical Hebrew word כול meaning "All" (see above) and "whole."

Blessed be our circles this Yuletide, every one, with the amazing sacred power and joy of Yule.

Comes beautifully packaged.

OONAGH - CELTIC SPIRIT Witch's Altar Ladder / Silk Sari UNITY Handfasting Cord

כ״ז בתשרי תשע"א
Blodlessing 28

"From the shadows emerges the chosen One ... Three Stones, three young girls. One will discover the Gift ... Of three Stones only One fate will remain." [The Prophecy of the Stones, Flavia Bujor]

"I have to discuss how important the element of Understanding is. It is fine to begin the ascent into internal transformation, but without Understanding, none of this [the foundational techniques of trance work] is useful. All of the trance techniques in the world, and all of the capabilities in the world will mean nothing without Understanding ... You have to Understand that reality is One, whole, and undivided. Human minds chop it into a billion pieces, abstract parts of it away from the wholeness of Nature, and label those various 'parts' as different 'things' - but it is still One." [Robin Artisson, The Witching Way of the Hollow Hill]

"Shema (hear)... the Divine is One." [Deutereonomy 6:4]





OONAGH is a feminine name and expression used in Gaelic and Irish Gaelic meaning "One." An equivalent expression in English is "Unity" and in Hebrew is "Achdut." OONAGH, Unity and Achdut all pertain to the idea of mystical harmony, peace and the magical communion shared among members of a collective Folk Soul (or Folk Spirit) which permeates time and eternity. It is time-bound with Reality, yet timeless and unbound by time in timeless Being. It is the collective Divine Ancestor of which all Kindred partake whether Ancient of Days, of the Present or of the Future. Past, present and future are One in OONAGH.



Handcrafted under the crescent Moon of Might, OONAGH is made with 4 strands - handmade Blue Fire silk sari ribbon, dark multicolored Mystery boucle yarn handspun on a Kromski Sonata spinning wheel, pale blue sparkle ribbon, black satiny ribbon, 9 handmade jet black glass round beads, 25 knots, a sterling silver OONAGH symbol Celtic Knot leaf charm, a pewter and black scrying mirror connector bead and a pewter pentacle key charm. Each end of the cord is adorned with a removable pale blue ribbon bow.

The 4 strands correspond to the past, the present, the future and to Understanding (and in parallel, there is one strand for each of the 4 Greater Sabbats of Witchcraft - for in them is the mystical secret of the fusion of the stones).

The key to the quest for Understanding is Clarity (Witch Sight); where the quest is protected by the pentacle of Goddess.

Nine is the diameter of the witch's sacred circle.

Twenty-five is the number of Ogham letters in the magical Celtic alphabet.

This amazing cord measures 61 inches, where 61 is the gematria-numerology of the magical Hebrew words: אני (I Am), אין (unified No-Thing state of Divine Being), בטן (womb), and הבדים (the staves - as are the Ogham letters written on staves).

Comes beautifully packaged with a small surprise gift included.

HEAVENLY PROTECTION Witch's Altar Ladder

א' באלול תש"ע
Belz 3

Invite the bright protection of the heavens into your sacred circle with this mystically enchanting HEAVENLY PROTECTION Witch's Altar Ladder and/or Handfasting Cord. Handcrafted under the waxing crescent Moon 5% full, as the heavens wax toward the peak of the 2010 Perseids meteor shower and light show of falling stars August 12-13, during the planetary hour of the Moon, HEAVENLY PROTECTION is made with turquoise-light blue sapphire metallic ribbon, dark Blue Rainbow yarn, handmade Spruce Silk Sari ribbon, a silver Celtic Shield Knot charm, a silver Celtic Spiral charm, 5 dark wood beads and 14 knots.



Five is the number of the pentagram, known by mystics as the pentalpha, a symbol of Goddess. Interlaced five times, pentalpha is considered to be the birth-letter of the entire cosmos and womb of the earth.

The Celtic Shield Knot symbolizes endlessness and eternity, the inner temple and journey of the soul, the four corners of the earth, the four seasons, and the four guardian archangels of the heavens (Michael, Gabriel, Raphael and Uriel).

The Celtic Spiral represents radiant ethereal energy, birth, wholistic growth and evolution, expansion of consciousness, initiation, direction and development, balance, centering, connection and union with cosmic and divine energy.



Blue is the color of the heavenly throne.

At sundown this upcoming Thursday (August 12), the 2010 Perseids meteor shower peaks with Saturn (ר), Venus (כ), Mars (ג) and the setting crescent Moon (ב) coming together in the western twilight in tight conjunction, fitting within a circle about 10 degrees in diameter. The magical Hebrew letters of the heavenly bodies coming into conjunction come together to create the two by two magical roots רך גב meaning, "gentle support and protection."

Fourteen is the gematria (numerology) of the magical Hebrew word ובו meaning "and be in it" (the protection of the heavens).

Let heaven's protection shower down upon the earth and upon us, and let us be safe within it. So mote it be! אמן

Measures 36 (לו) inches and comes beautifully packaged.

ALL HALLOW'S EVE Ancestor Altar Witch's Ladder

ל׳ באב תש"ע
Belz 2

Conjure the ancestors this Samhain (also known as Halloween or Nos Galan Gaeaf), invite them to your Sabbat handfasting, or take your magic to the crossroads using this ALL HALLOW'S EVE Ancestor Altar Witch's Ladder and/or Handfasting cord, handcrafted at the witching hour on the night of the Dark Moon.



Made with Diorite bulky black cameo yarn, black Homespun yarn, orange satiny ribbon, a silver skull and crossbones charm, a silver pentacle charm, 9 orange glass beads and 22 knots.

Meanings of the traditional colors of Samhain:

Orange - deep delight and ecstasy, harmony, beauty, artfulness, creativity, sexuality, trust, insight, individuation, wisdom, perseverance, attaining balance, improving memory, increasing wealth, promoting career, having fun

Black - mystery, deep mind, hidden knowledge and worlds, power, all potentiality, restfulness, night, new beginnings

The skull and crossbones guards the crossroads and leads us into the mysteries of Otherworlds.

The silver pentacle is a powerful protective symbol of the Old Ways, of Witch Craft.

In Celtic Witchcraft, nine is the diameter of the witch's sacred circle.

Like the number of knots in ALL HALLOW'S EVE, there are 22 letters in the magical Hebrew alphabet.

Measuring 60 inches (= 5 feet = five elemental corners of the encircled Pentacle), this magnificent cord corresponds to the "SECRET WITHIN THE SECRET" of the witch's sacred circle through the magical Hebrew letter Samech (having both a gematria-numerology value of 60 and written in the form of a closed circle).

Comes beautifully packaged.

OLD WAYS Witch's Altar Ladder / Handfasting Cord

כ"ד באב תש"ע
Lughnasadh 25

Created in sacred space under the waning crescent Moon 34% full, during the planetary hours of Mars and the Sun, mystically magical OLD WAYS is an extraordinarily beautiful witch's altar ladder and/or handfasting cord.



Handcrafted with richly Mysterious Silk Sari ribbon (made from strips of cut silk sari fabric exquisitely laced throughout with deep burgundy, royal blues and other dark colors), handspun Midnight Twig Racka yarn (featuring the colors of Nature ranging from dark browns through rusty tones to true black, even having some strands of white), black satiny ribbon, 3 genuine Amber gemstone beads (7-11 mm), 1 genuine deep black Jet bead (10 mm round), 9 jet black opaque glass crow beads, 22 knots and a large Tibetan silver pentacle charm (1 inch diameter).



A fossilized resin of coniferous trees, projective Amber is possibly the oldest substance used for human adornment. Associated with the Divine Great Mother, fire, Akasha, the Sun, time, longevity, love, healing, strength, protection and beauty, beads and pendants of Amber have been found in European gravesites dating back to at least 8000 BCE. Warm to the touch and often containing insect inclusions, Amber possesses the power of the Life and Death. Rubbed Amber becomes electrically charged. Witches, wise women and shamans use Amber to strengthen spells.

A gemstone which is actually fossilized wood millions of years old, Jet (also known as Witches' Amber) is receptive. Associated with Earth (due to its black color), Akasha (due to its organic origins), Saturn, protection, luck, divination and health, Jet, like Amber, may become electrically charged. Lore teaches that when worn continually, Jet absorbs part of the wearer's "soul" and becomes a powerfully magical tool, and maintains the proper flow of energy throughout the body.

Amber and Jet have both been found in prehistoric graves, testifying to the antiquity of their use as spiritual stones.

The silver pentacle is a powerful protective symbol of the Old Ways, of Witch Craft.

Nine is the diameter of the witch's sacred circle.

Like the number of knots in OLD WAYS, there are 22 letters in the magical Hebrew alphabet.

Measuring 60 inches (= 5 feet = five elemental corners of the encircled Pentacle), this magnificent cord corresponds to the "SECRET WITHIN THE SECRET" of the witch's sacred circle through the magical Hebrew letter Samech (having both a gematria-numerology value of 60 and written in the form of a closed circle).
