šŸ«¶ Weekly Witchy CHALLENGE - HandCrafting

Thank you @BryWisteria for the lovely compliments. I plan on using the pentacles as a centerpiece on my altar. I just wanted more colors to coordinate with my spells and to have my decor match :wink: I will use them one at a time on the altar or anywhere I feel needs some protection.

I finished up the little shelf and added some moss to the bench. Hereā€™s a look at them finishedā€¦


and Iā€™m almost finished with my flower of life project. I canā€™t remember who had this idea but I read about it in the forum. I think it was a great idea!

I used a flat clear glass plate and traced it with a paint pen. I canā€™t wait to consecrate it so I can put it to use!
Thank you who had that idea :rose: :rose:
I think I better do laundry today :weary: Iā€™ve been too distracted at my craft table lately :yum: Its been a blast!

@Sarafeena_Sage I love the little shelf & bench! They are awesome!

Iā€™m figuring out a second altar space :thinking: where I can layout my crystal grid cloths to use them. Right now I donā€™t have anywhere to set one up & leave it for some time. So I think half of my nightstand is becoming a smaller altar. I love inspiration! :heart:

@Susurrus Your love and care for the space shows- itā€™s not only lovely visually, it has a really warm and cozy atmosphere too :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:

@Rowan Itā€™s my pleasure, Rown- the badge suits you very well! :blush: Iā€™m so sorry to hear that your cute pup was sick but it sounds like you took very good care of him and that Hekate gave Her blessing too- Iā€™m thrilled heā€™s doing much better now! :heart::dog:

@Sarafeena_Sage Ahhhh!!! :heart_eyes: Oh my goodness, they were cute before and now they are divine- the moss and natural touches really bring them to life, Sarall! And ohhhh at your Flower of Life grid, thatā€™s a lovely treasure too! Good luck with the consecration, may all your beautiful things serve you well! :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:

@BryWisteria - I donā€™t know if it really shows in the picture of my altar, but I now have 2 Labradorite Palm Stones. I was in the basement with my son looking for something else & walked by an open box. So I peeked in the top to see what was in itā€¦ some of my motherā€™s things from her purse & nightstand. I saw a glimmer & opened the box. There it was a pretty good sized polished Labrodorite palm stoneā€¦ itā€™s bigger than the one I already have! I had no idea, she never said anything about owning such things or that she had any kind of interest in them. Even if it was a gift, she never said anything to me. So took that baby upstairs with me along with a coming that says, May Good Luck Always Accompany the Bearerā€¦ that I found under the stone. Then there is a pendant that just, I donā€™t know, I need to do some research about it because there is just something about itā€¦ I have a picture of it, but havenā€™t searched for anything yet. Today may be the dayā€¦

It looks cool, but I feel like there is something I am supposed to know about it, so figured I would start with the basics first. :laughing:

@Susurrus You have so many fun treasures :smiling_face_with_three_hearts: The pendant with the cat is very interesting- is it some type of clockwork cat, in a clock? Very curious indeed- I hope you have fun exploring it! There must be some reason it is calling to you :cat: :sparkles:

@Jeannie1 Itā€™s a beautiful candle and it sounds like it has been serving you well in your practice, Jeannie :blush: May it continue to burn brightly and beautifully! :candle::infinite_roots: :heart:

It looks like an older type of image of a cat, Iā€™m very drawn to the eyes, but donā€™t understand the clockwork inside the cat? I have no idea where my mother got this, when, from whoā€¦ It was in the box with the mystery Labradorite palm stone.

As a matter of fact, Iā€™ll be back with what I find out in a few minutesā€¦ :hugs:

Edit: So I poked around really quickā€¦ I found it on a ā€œwitchyā€ site for Cats: Gothic, Egyptian, & Witch & it was on Etsy listed as a pocket watch or pendant for a necklace or even a locket. This is definitely a pendantā€¦ but I have found that it is just described as a Gothic Steampunk Cat Clock Pendantā€¦

Iā€™m no expert here, but my mother either was witchy or was close to someone that was at least somewhat witchy. I have no idea who it was though or why she was given this pendant. Itā€™s not something she would buy or get for herself. I donā€™t think it was her, she was very much a reborn Christian/Baptistā€¦somewhere in there. I remember being likeā€¦ donā€™t talk to me about the bible or religion or needing Jesusā€¦ I was confirmed in the Catholic Church becauseā€¦ parentsā€¦ then I never went back to church unless it was my momā€™s funeral service in 2003ā€¦ whichā€¦ I almost got tossed from that day, but thatā€™s a story for another timeā€¦

So for now, it will hang out on my altarā€¦ maybe some dowsing with my mat should be done if I can put the pendant in the center? Iā€™ll come up with something because right now itā€™s listed everywhere as vintage & such but only for like $3? Itā€™s the image thought that I keep needing to look atā€¦ thereā€™s something with this pendantā€¦

For those confused my ā€œMomā€ died in 2003, my biological mother died in 2021 & here we are

Maybe she had a thing for cats?

@Sarafeena_Sage, when I first looked at it the first word that came to mind was Steampunkā€¦ Still, not something she would get for herself & she wasnā€™t necessarily a cat person. Iā€™m getting this feeling someone around her gave it to her for some reason & at another time gave her the Labradorite palm stone. Itā€™s kind of picking at me when I see the pendant or the palm stone. Itā€™s definitely in an intriguing kind of way which is always funā€¦ itā€™s a something I need to know kind of feeling. Iā€™m going to pull out my altar dowsing mat & cleanse my favorite pendulum & see what happens this weekend. :thinking:
