This listing is for one Irish Red Ochre Ritual Set, from The heART of Ritual.
 
Four faces of red ochre; a study of earth, hearth, healing and belonging through ritual wild colour that connects and protects.
Revered by the Celts, who wore red ochre as ritual colour in battle (protection), prayer (connection) and healing, this gorgeous selection of hand gathered red earth is a potent colour prayer and true feast for the senses.
Each of these sacred earth bodies comes in a textured wild clay vessel made from the ochre it carries, visually revealing the colour inside. An earth gathering of four, representing the square/cube and earth element, the season of winter, the elder, the ancestors, the journey within, conscious healing of bloodlines and timelines, connection with the root of all BEing.
Those working with sacred body adornment, energetic healing, and subtle anatomy will immediately appreciate the potential in each ~ one is a rich blood red, one is a burnt orange red, one is a russet red, and one a beautiful almost pink shade of red. Their potential as ritual tools is infinite, and how you creatively work with them and integrate them into your own unique prayer expression is up to you.
They can be applied to the landscapes of the body, on the body of the earth (all surfaces), you can work with them to adorn sacred tools and ritual objects, they can be made into ritual paint or ink for illuminated art, creative journaling, sigil making, talismanic art, and much more.
 
Please note that these red ochres are sustainably and ritually handdug, cleaned, washed several times, and hand ground into a fine powder, in what is a very lengthy labour intensive process. These cauldrons are very generous in size (50ml each) with a significant amount of ochre contained in each. Once you have finished working with these sacred earths, these textured red ochre vessels can be used as spell jars, for herbs, ointments and more!
 
Each of these gorgeous textured vessels is encrusted with absolutely stunning crystal, mineral, plant pigment and wild clay body developed for this offering, for you to etch your personal and unique symbols, sigils, words and other marks upon. You will also receive a complimentary tool to use for etching your personal symbols and/or words upon these vessels.
 
Please work with these ritual colours sensibly, knowing that they have the potential to stain clothing, textiles and surfaces! Thank you.
