Celtic Goddess Altar
piece
Crafted from 2,300
year old bog oak
This altar piece is
crafted from ancient bog oak and carved into a
beautifully primitive Celtic Goddess which is a copy of
an Iron Age piece found in the Norfolk Fens.
The bog oak used is
also from the
Norfolk Fens, home of the historic Iceni tribe and their
infamous queen, Boudicca. This beautifully dark wood
is dated to the British Iron Age, around 2,300 years ago
and feels full of positive energies.
The Goddess is
free-standing on a flat surface and is wonderfully
tactile - perfect for holding during meditation.
The Goddess is filled with
hand-gathered, organically grown
mugwort which is permanently sealed
inside with a protective plug of
blackthorn wood. Mugwort has been
used for millennia to aid
clairvoyance, lucid dreaming and
astral projection. Our ancestors
drank tea made from the leaves and
it has also been used in incenses or
smoked to induce visions.
This piece is infused with the
energies of this potent ancient herb
from inside and will make an
excellent addition to your altar or
sacred space.

Film: Wild Horses
of Newbury
A beautiful and very moving short
film dating from the Newbury bypass protests of 1996/7. This footage
was filmed by Mark Carroll during a very cold February morning at a
protest to prevent two Oak trees being
destroyed. As the chainsaws are started, two horses roaming free run
towards the felling. It's a very thought-provoking piece of footage
and gives us a glimpse of how animals haven't lost their sense of
the land and spirits of the trees as we humans have.
