Faerie riders on noble steeds gallop in wild pursuit.
Answering the call of the clarion trumpets, the hounds have caught the scent.
Two courts divided by Light & Dark, united by The Huntsman’s Bow.
Riding through the Tangled Wood, chasing a Solstice Moon.
Fading into shadowed moor with unsuspecting Quarry.…
The Wild Hunt is a foot!

The Wandering Star
A drift at sea, which way to go? By the light of the sparkling constellations you spot an ancient map secreted behind the ship’s Maiden. X marks the spot to your heart’s desire. The compass rose will be your guide.
All that is required of you is to get a little lost and wander around the wonder.
available here…
I’m now making these beautiful, one of a kind, hand-forged pendulum boxes. A wonderful compliment to your Crowning Elements Pendulum and a great way to keep your pendulum safe, secure, and protected. Hours of craftsmanship go into each unique pendulum box. These will be extremely limited and not available via custom orders.
I make them when the mood strikes…so if you see one you like, better grab it!
I etched the brass with a beautiful world map design and patina-ed the metal. I created one of a kind, digital art for the inside of the box. Along with my favorite quote from J.R.R Tolkien ~ “Not all those who wander are lost.” A sprinkling of gold stars sealed in resin adorns the back of the maiden figurehead on the top of the box. I have layered a treasure map along with some tattered cloth for accent. The box ties with a gorgeous nave blue satin ribbon.
Measurements
Length: 4 inches
Width: 2-1/2 inches
Height: 1 inch
Your Crowning Elements Pendulum nestled in it’s velvet bag will fit comfortably in this box.
More creations available in my shop…

A few notes…
~I’m unable to reserve any of the items in this series before they go live. So be ready to purchase at the starting bell!
~I accept direct payment through etsy with any major credit card or PayPal.
~I ship internationally. It’s $10 via USPS international first class. Domestic shipping is $5.
~I will ship to the address on file with Etsy, so please make sure this is accurate.
~The pendulums in this series are very rare, so if you see something you like…Grab It!!! I might not be able to make another just like it.
~All items purchased ship within 3 days. {I’ll need time to smudge and package these up all pretty.}
~Etsy does NOT have sticky carts. What does this mean? If you put an item in your cart and don’t immediately check out, some one else can still buy it out from under you. I know that stinks and I wish Etsy would update that. 🙁 So check out right away to make sure you get the pendulum you want.
This series has been so fun to create, I’m going to have a hard time parting with some of these beauties!! Thanks for all the likes and shares so far, I really appreciate all the interest in my creations!

SEANCE
October 24, 2014
7:00 pm
{MDT-USA}
The Spirits are gathering for this year’s Samhain Series entitled Séance.
This year I was inspired by all things dark and gothic, tragic romances, and mysterious gatherings. The writings of Edgar Allan Poe and the disturbed characters of Dorian Gray, Jane Eyre, and Wuthering Heights. Imagine all of them gathered for a Séance. Who would they invoke? What questions would they ask?
All of the pendulums in this series are inspired by the tools and objects you would find at a Séance…a crystal ball, a tarot deck, a scrying mirror, a planchette, a lover’s eye.

Once again I had the honor of attending the Albuquerque Pagan Pride Day Celebration which was held on September 29. I always share a booth with my Mom, Sharon of Touch of the Goddess. This year’s theme was Harvest Fae and the organizers encourage vendors to dress in costume and decorate their booths. We decided this year to completely change the look of our booth and I’m so glad that we did. We started shopping and gathering supplies in May! We wanted the booth to look like a faery-gypsy caravan. I’m so pleased with the way every thing came together. Take a look!
 |
| All set up and ready to go! |
I always do a “test run” of my table to make sure that I have everything and also to save time during the day of the event. So these close up shots were taken a few days before the event.
My table cloth started with purple shimmery fabric from JoAnns followed by a velvet throw with fringe that I had purchased several years ago from Hobby Lobby. The picture frames, collector’s box, and chalk board I found at hobby lobby as well. {Thank goodness for sales and coupons!!}
I filled the collector’s box with all the wonderful things I thought a faery would collect during their worldly travels…keys, citrine stones, sea shells, sparkly bits, tobacco {for blessings…this is a pagan event}, feathers, moss, little birds, old photos, and rose quartz. I found the cute little chalkboard signs at an antique store and the fortune teller card I purchased from A Fanciful Twist. And of course I couldn’t forget to add my business cards from moo.com.
I just love the cute door knob card holder I made. I started with a glass door knob from Hobby Lobby and added brass wire and a bit of glitter. The spools of velvet ribbon and the metal crown came from an antique store.
I upholstered 12×12 picture frames to use as my pendulum displays. Just remove the glass and add a little batting and fabric.
Now on to my costume!! I decided that I didn’t want to go as a faery, I wanted to go as a faun.
The oxblood jacket is vintage velvet. {I plan to wear this jacket all fall…I just love it!} The scarf I found at World Market and the vest on ebay. I purchased the faun horns from Voodoo Soap and Beads. Everything else I had in my closet. I made my Pendulum Maker badge with resin paper and other ephemera.
{Couldn’t resist adding a photo of me “mugging” my dog, Logan…}
I had such a wonderful time at this event…talking with friends, meeting new people, and sharing a wonderful autumn day with our pagan community. Can’t wait for next year!
Jessica
