This listing is for one Lunar Phases Ritual Art Wall Hanging (Handcrafted Wild Clay Talisman for your Prayer Space), from The heART of Ritual.
This an honouring for the lunar cycles, menstrual cycle, womb space, and feminine BEing. Our own cyclical nature...
Before I begin, I have to say that this beauty is large, and as a result, it was pretty hard to photograph it all in one image, hence the closeups in the gallery. It is an absolutely stunning piece of wild ritual art.
Each is created from a beautiful creamy hand gathered wild kaolinitic clay, and accented with an iron and copper rich wild glaze which almost appears metallic in places! The light clay I've worked with represents the full moon, the dark glaze represents the new moon.
Each of the moon phase faces is embossed with our Botanical Wheel of the Year mandala, and strung together with plant fiber cordage of wild mugwort and rose. This ritual art hangs from the looped cordage at the top, and is finished with a large tassel at the bottom. The loop at the top is adorned with a mini posey of wild lunar botanicals, and a hand written plant fiber paper label embossed with our mandala art. These labels are lovingly held in place with a beautiful plant fiber cordage made from mugwort and rose.
By the way, I want to mention the positioning of the cresent phases here as I intentionally have placed them in this way. Reason being, I was born on a Cancerian full moon, and strongly appreciate the symbolism behind this sign. I also appreciate the DEEP need for balance in relationship with Self and others - to give and receive in equal measure, in ALL matters. So, I have placed the cresents accordingly, reflecting the Cancerian symbolism. A reminder to us all.
This ritual art is made to order, and due to the nature of the wild materials used, each is unique in appearance. Please note that it takes a minimum of three weeks for each to be made: each needs to dry for minimum one week before I can do the initial firing, and after the initial firing, it is then glazed and fired a second time. The firing process alone has a two week turnaround and involves two separate round trips to the kiln I use in the city. They only fire at the temperatures I need once a week and two firings are necessary.
