Naturally Dyed Cutch & Iron Screen Printed Altar Cloth Tarot Mat Bats

I am so very proud of these naturally dyed and screen printed cloths made as a collaboration between myself and Karli of Jessup's General Store (www.jessupsgeneralstore.ca). I did the dyeing and she did the printing.


These are organic cotton mats dyed with cutch and mordanted with iron and in an iron cauldron. They were dyed on the full "Cold" moon in Dec 2020. These cloths have been screen printed with bats and the earth element symbol.

A lot of magickal intention went into making these cloths. Here are the correspondences and magickal properties we included:

Cutch: (wood)
- air and spirit elements
- sun, psychic powers, protection, divination, Pluto

Iron:
- Horseshoes: luck, protection
- Keys: freedom, secrecy, trust, transition
- fire element, protection, strength, security, health, defense, grounding

Cotton:
- earth element
- simplicity, protection, good luck

Brown:
- earth element
- balance, family, grounding, justice, travel, beginnings, the home, animal magick

Full Moon:
- action, energy, magick, power, transformation, wisdom, divination

Cold Moon:
- dedication/devotion, prosperity, strength, rebirth

Bats:
- Intuition, illusion, rebirth, inner depth, communication, dreaming, viewing past lives. A messenger from the Underworld or your subconscious.

Dimensions: 19 wide X 19" height
