Starry Haul 2 (Part 2)

This is a set which Joey deemed Priestess of the Cosmos which is a title I have fell in love with and will be incorporating into an Orca tattoo I am treating myself to in the Summer. I am reviewing this set on its own because I was completely awed by its energy which, as I work with this totem all the time, surprised me.



Orca Totem Set
Requested set
*Spell Orb*
This is the only spell orb I have purchased from Starry Eyed Supplies; I’m considering more but because I find them to be such an adept product, adeptly balancing of energies, light and magick, choosing an orb that resonates with you profoundly is enough. Colour is an integral part of this orb…. the purple is the magickal element, prevailing strongly through the other botanicals…. next is the blue/yellow flourishes like the crest of waves as the mighty Orca splashes playfully on the surface of the astral oceans. There are other bits of botanical too which I am either failing to identify or choosing to aid Joey in keeping her recipes protected. I do see a small scroll in there though and a midnight blue ribbon which is reminiscent of an Orca tail and perfectly compliments the colours inside. The last thing I want to mention is the charm… .Joey, my lovely new friend whose talent for this level of crafting awes me, found me Orca charms and for that I love, love, love her!!!

*4 Votives*
I adore votives, they burn long enough for a decent length magickal activity and when I work with my Orca totem I can get so engrossed that I’m at it for hours… I had a 4 hour meditation once just swimming around the astral with Orca. One of the votives is ear-marked for a specific purpose - to be burned while I get my Orca tattoo; the others are waiting for inspiration to strike but as there are 3 remaining I may create a ritual for the Maiden, Mother and Crone aspects of my Cosmic Priestess. So, to the aesthetic – black and white obviously for the mirroring or colour for the actual Orca but this is also reflective of the the title Priestess of the Cosmos… she who is of the cosmic energy… the black of the night sky, the white of the starlight. Also, there is a sneaky slush of purple in the adornment of the surface which is that touch of magick which flows through the sub-consious and explodes in the mind. Joey’s ‘patented’ shimmy shimmy shimmer on the top of the votives is a stunning ocean blue which is possibly self-explanatory but that spray of water from a very large splash is what specifically comes to mind. I will lastly mention the sprinkle of tiny black somethings on the top, not sure what they are but set each votive beautifully.

*Spell Oil*

Oh, what can I say: honey, my cup runneth over… I consider oils the life blood of witchcraft, they ease the flow of magick, they create such a wonderful heady scent, and they make every working better. This spell oil is stunning… the botanicals are balanced perfectly and seem to swim through the oil like they’re Orcas in the ocean. I am in awe of your talent, Joey. I have already told you but I’ll mention it here too… the oil is half gone; I use it to anoint myself when I am journeying… this is whether I’m only working with my totem Orca, Opal, or whether I am doing another working because it makes me feel Opal close regardless of where I am in the astral.
