THE ALTAR COMPANIONS COLLECTION.
THE ALTAR COMPANIONS COLLECTION.
CREATION STORY
The creation of this collection has profound significance for me. It was conceived and nurtured in the years 2o2o & 2o21 - a time where we (as a collective) were steeped in much uncertainty, fear, immense loss and grief. And in many ways, still are.
As a result of these experiences and dense emotions, I began to activate my Spiritual cells. I surrendered to what felt like an invitation to break cycles and reclaim my INNATE- and for the VERY FIRST TIME (in this lifetime), I began deeply connecting to my intuition and unblocking the channels of communication with my Spiritual Team, Ancestors and Higher Self.
The making of these divination tools was inspired by the sacredness and curiosity in reactivating & spreading my Spiritual wings amidst a long season of darkness.
Each piece was made in the name of collective reweaving, remembering and reclaiming. Meant to be a companion & bridge through all seasons of life. Intended to hold their own medicine & memories. Passed on through generations of families and communities as heirloom pieces with stories to discover. With healing, joy, pleasure & liberation to rightfully claim.
COMPLETION STORY…
“Be still with us, use us, feel our magic!”.
This was one of the messages I received during a creation mapping session with Taylor from Akashic Light. In this workshop I opened the Akashic Records of the “Spirit Body” of this collection as a tool for how to map out its completion. This was NOT the message I wanted to hear! I was riding high on that FIREY energy from having “finished” the collection and was eager to release it out into the world. So, one can imagine the feeling of getting a directive like this. But nonetheless, I trusted what came through. It took some time to clearly understand what these messages were trying to convey. I was being asked to integrate these tools into my practice and truly FEEL their companionship, but had no idea how much I’d be turning to these pieces for comfort and peace in the coming weeks.
Not long after receiving this guidance, my beloved Mother suddenly died and I was once again swimming deep in the waters of grief. Devastated and pain-struck, I rooted down into all the practices I’d cultivated in the last 2+ years and I welcomed in these Altar Companions to hold me, guide me and carry me though the grief portal of such a profound loss like this. Sitting with their magic and companionship through ritual, practice and devotion to myself has been such a gift.
“We are not only beautiful, we are bridges” they said. And It all made sense now. I finally understood the “assignment”.
Launching this collection in November of 2o22, on the 4- month anniversary of my Mom’s death feels supremely aligned and I’m so honored to share it with all of you.
Each piece intuitively sculpted, carved & textured by hand in jeweler’s wax and cast in recycled bronze.
