The Jacobs sheep, stang and skull piece is now finished. The other name I was contemplating for this piece was the crooked key, at the foot of the stang in amongst the candles and chalices is what looks to be an old iron key. It is bent and twisted out of shape to a degree but it will still unlock what is kept in the shadows. The best time to get a sense of the universe is on a clear crisp night when we can see the stars, and galaxies that inhabit our skies. In the shadow of darkness lies such beauty and the pathway to the universe. This piece is also a deep protection aspect to this piece as you explore your shadow. . email me for details [email protected] it is 35 x 95 cm in size [13.5 x 37.5inches] and is $420.00 NZD (including tracked international postage. ) . [Image description. The Jacobs Sheep skull and stang applique tapestry is photographed in front of a juniper bush. Infront of it is a table with red silver and black cloths, and a painted Lester sheep skull. There are two red/pink candles on each side. The tapestry has a Jacobs sheep skull toped stang. With a red silk tunic. A spear is leaning against one side and a sword is hung from a belt. Above is a galaxy sky, with dark hills. At the foot is a collection of gold and red candles, gold and silver chalices, a drinking horn, some mushrooms and the aforementioned crooked key] . #stangandskull #stang #skull #witch #jacobsheep #magic #witchraft #traditionalwitchcraft #hedgewitch #witchery #hedgemagic #pagan #shadowmagic #textileart #sacredart #pollylindartist https://www.instagram.com/p/B9P0MFZnrs_/?igshid=9z6qhnul8wdp

The magical Still life Calendar idea…Well this is a lot more complex than I thought it would be.. its a whole process not dissimilar to creating the stang and skull piece itself. What I am aiming for is a classic still life feel, so that changes up the usual altar set up sort of, and is challenging what I originally thought, and I have had to leg go of all my pre conceived ideas about how it was going to be set up or look. I am currently experimenting inside as it is to bright and hot outside. But this afternoon when the sun is right, I will take the experiment outside. now to set up the tripod, and find some lovely still life artists to be inspired by I am looking at Fiona Paddington, who is a forking amazing photographer. (I am a huge fan). The phrase Lighting from within is what I can hear her saying in my head. and the awesome Jonette Murray who still life paintings are simple but so full of magic. . [Image Description. the Roebuck Hedge stang and skull leaning against a workbench in the garage. Infront is several objects placed randomly, there is a bone vase with feathers, a rose and some bunny tail plants. A replica skull of a roebuck. A glass ball, and a statue of a male figure, the wild god, who is wearing a bowler hat. I am trying to get visual feel for the photo I want to create.] . #stilllife #photography #magic #witchcraft #witch #fionapardington #jonettemurray #stangandskull #hedgewitch #roebuck #pollylindartist https://www.instagram.com/p/B9K-5CuHOvM/?igshid=18313a7d0d9ki

At the foot of the stang is a collection of flowers, mushrooms candles, a key and an offering bowl. Beside the stang is a staff that has some bones dangling off. Only some of the edges has satin stitching. This is a work in progress.

The Horned Lord is coming along super well. I won the game of thread chicken I was playing with the green thread for his tunic and the pocket on his tunic. Hooray. And you can totally put paper with your chosen sigil in his pocket@as shown here. I am so pleased with the pockets. 😁😁 . [Video Description.

The Horned Lord Stang. The one is based on a real witches stang that is found at the witches shrine at Ravens knoll Campgrounds in Ontario Canada. This stang is all about magic, deep, wild, hedgey, messy but not magic. He has a strong link to the spirit roads, and if approached right will guide you though the forest and show you such magical things. But he is still a wild God and as the poem says his voice makes vinegar from wine , and he brings the dead to life. ( Sometimes a Wild God by Tom Hirons ) . [video description: He is shown here in the winter, with lovely winter birch trees as the background at the foot of the stang you can just see glittery white fabric, which looks a bit like snow in the moon light. On the snow is a rock cairn, that has candles, flowers a horn that may belong to the Norse god, Heimdall. Above him you can see a crescent moon on a dark stormy sky peeking through the trees, he is wearing a green tunic with a pocket and blue tartan shawl on one side. In his antlers are feathers, a small wreath, and flowers. He is also sporting a lovely flower crown. The video has one of those oldy world filters. very artsy. ] . #stangandskull #stand #skull #ravensknoll #traditionalwitchcraft #hedgewitch #witch #witchcraft #hornedlord #heimdall #norsegods #magic #sacredart #pagan #pollylindartist (at Raven's Knoll) https://www.instagram.com/p/B9SV8zenFdX/?igshid=12spjpjdnkfpo

Picking out matching threads for the horns for the Jacobs Sheep stang. For me they have to make the right sound when held against the fabric. . [Video Description.
