The wood for all of my pocket amulets has been wild crafted by my friend Leslie of "Blyth House Creations" in South Carolina. She then sent them to the opposite end of the country to my home in California. These pocket amulets have done a lot of traveling! Once they arrived here I decided to burn into them different symbols to correspond with the wood used as closely as I could make it.
This particular piece has been hand burned with the rune Hagalaz. Hagalaz can symbolize a controlled crisis that will soon lead to completion, testing, a trial or trials, inner harmony and more. Each rune means something different to everyone. You decide what it means to YOU.
The Japanese Maple is ruled by the element of Earth. It is connected to the Autumn Equinox (Mabon) and is used in celebrations concerning the cycle of death and rebirth. It is also connected to Samhain and brings with it magic and mystery. This wood is magically used for spells concerning wisdom, the reborn God, the dying God (such as Ymir), creation, revolution, healing, beauty, love, sweetening things your way, abundance, fertility, communication, and binding among other things.
All of my wood burned creations have been lightly sanded by hand and rubbed deep with corresponding oils I have made myself.
It measures approximately one centimeter thick and 1 inch in diameter. Please note that none of the pieces I make are perfect. I don't strive to perfect something natural and wild into something that looks manufactured and just like every other one of its kind. I love the character each piece has. Every "flaw" tells a story.
