Starry Haul 2 (Part 1)

This was a bit of a splurge order as I get very carried away with Joey’s products, hence why it will be posted in 3 parts. There is a mix of personally requested items and products which are readily available at www.starryeyedsupplies.co.uk


Sorceresses of Avalon Beeswax Candle Set
Requested (previously on store)
*Morgan Le Fay*
The exquisite energy from this delicate beeswax candle is directly transported through the aether from Avalon… I can feel the druidic power desperately enriching this deep character, bright with magick. I get enveloped and engrossed in this energy but I will try to concentrate… the candle itself is a rich purple set with obsidian chips, approximately 9” tall and completely gorgeous with the signature of ‘shimmy shimmy’ of Joey’s Starry products. The energy of magick is the first thing I felt when I held it… she who languishes in magick, bathes in it, breathes it, she who leaves shadows of magick in her wake. This true Avalonian is a gift from the past.

*Morgause*
The sexual element of this candle is stunning and completely undeniable… a bright pink beeswax taper containing the explosive energy of the Avalonian bombshell. The pink speaks of a sorceress who though comsumed and driven by her sexuality, does not partake in sex because of obligation but because she adores it. The obsidian chips therefore lend to her as the diva, the siren, the wanton, the rampant… she is the eternal embodiment of female sexuality, of womanhood and desire. In the meditation I did with this candle – just holding it – I sensed a warrior element too but a warrior who uses sexuality as a weapon… she who seduces and bewitches by form and pheremone.

*Nimue*
I feel a deep connection to the duality within the mythos of Nimue which I don’t get from the other Sorceresses… she is often considered the Lady of the Lake and therefore the protector of ultimate power; I feel the bluey/lilac colour of this candle represents that stunningly; man, unless pure of heart, cannot wield the power of Excalibur without consumption but Nimue, as Lady of the Lake, can. I feel this is the way to see femininity as the more dominant energy than masculinity… this ability is the bright spot of Yin in the Yang. The other side of Nimue’s mythos is the student of Merlin… she who gains power and let’s that need for power consume her… I think the obsidian against the blue represents this dark greed for more and more… I love both energies of this Avalonian powerhouse.

Large Smudge – Breathe
Store regular
I finally have a full tub of this overwhelmingly yummy scented smudge. I fawned over it my last review so I’ll keep this one brief… I adore the overpowering lavender, the lilac hue and the simplicity of the energy – this smudge is aptly named because I can’t stop breathing it in.

Holly and Oak King Pillars
Personal request
This epic, twice annual battle between the Holly and Oak Kings is one of the few things I’ve carried with me from Wicca when I took my first few steps on this wonderful, wild path of nature and magick. These pillars will beautifully enhance my honouring of these arboreal archetypes –
*The Holly Pillar*
I am using this for Summer Solstice in conjunction with the re-awakening of my Holly wand from it’s hibernation. It’s rich red wax and golden shimmering top makes the perfect host for this magnificent energy and I can’t thank Joey enough for her talented crafting.

*The Oak Pillar*

Wow… from the golden crown through the depth of green that embodies the wax… this pillar is the true embodiment of Oak energy… the Oak King is my masculine archetype and I couldn’t be happier with this representation of Him for my altar. It will be the centre of my empowerment ritual at Winter Solstice when I charge my oak wand with the Oak King energy.
