for sleeping so faint
consider the wisdom
tenderly flying
I only made one of these mugs..and I didn't know if anyone would love the moth as much as I do. But I decided to offer this mug as an order, for another person to whom the moth has spoken or is beginning to speak...
I am the only artist in my studio and so orders should take less than 6 months to create...but each piece needs to be fired twice, ( and I have to fill up the kiln by myself in order to fire it)...So that is the nature of ordering with me...the good news...is that you can follow the progress of your mug on my blog and Facebook...as it goes through the stages..
Also about ordering if you would like to make a deposit on an order and pay the rest when it is finished this is fine with me...just convo me...and let me know what you are thinking :)

Here is the magic of the moth..and may explain why you are drawn to it..:
This is an excerpt from a fuller article found here:
http://www.whats-your-sign.com/animal-symbolism-moth.html
Even in navigation, when we observe the moth to fly into artificial light or flames, the moth demonstrates its faith and determination.
It is still unproven as to why the moth is driven to light – but the best hypothesis is that the moth navigates by lunar light. In the absence of moonlight, the moth moves to the next best thing: man-made light.
Even at the risk of loosing its life, the moth is ever-vigilant in following its path of light. This may also serve as a moral to us to keep our own vigilance, but not fall victim of blind faith.
Here we see a fragile vulnerability in the moth. The moon is her mother, and she will follow her course at all cost. This makes her open to distraction, vulnerable to harm. Here we may find another message to adjust our course as our path indicates rather than drive forward without heeding important signs along the way.
As a creature of the night, and by her navigational devices, we see the moth is highly influenced by the power of the moon. This aspect ties in with animal symbolism of intuition, and psychic awareness.
Indeed, those with the moth totem will find this creature a magnificent assistant in developing higher awareness, and psychic enhancement.
However, with higher perception we sometimes overstep into the realm of confusion. It is important to seat ourselves in grounding foundations when we step in-tune with the lunar aspects of the moth. In other words, fly high with the moth – but always have a clear runway for happy, safe landings.
The moth continues to be under the influence in matters of love. She emits pheromones that are powerfully strong, attracting her male counterpart through the dark nights. These scented trails can be followed for remarkable distances. Here we see animal symbolism of:
Suggestion
Attraction
Allure
The female moth is subtle in her scent, wafting out like a loving tendril pulling in her mate. She has no doubt about her ability to attract her lover (those pheromones are powerfully effective!). Us humans would do well to follow the same cue. We do not have to be overt in our advances to attract our mates. Rather, the art of subtle allure can be learned from the moth.
A master of disguise, the moth can blend in to the point of invisibility. This is a metaphor for us to use our environment to our advantage, blend in when necessary, adjust and adapt when the situation requires it.
I hope you have enjoyed these thoughts on the animal symbolism of the moth
