Carnelian hammer

Here is a photograph of my pretty orange coloured crystal Thor's Hammer. It's made of carnelian and feels very smooth, gentle, warm and magical to the touch. The powerful shape of the Mjollnir (Thor's Hammer), full of vibrant strength and force is combined with the healing aspects of the canelian rock that it's carved from. Carnelian crystals themselves bring courage and passion forth from those who feel little or no confidence. The colour itself represent feminine fire (love, menstrual blood, the solar energies of the sun goddess, spices, magic and imagination). Carnelians in the form of a Thor's Hammer can help increase the wearer's stamina. I certainly feel extremely energetic and bright wearing this lovely carnelian Mjollnir.

The Solar Eclipse

Yesterday morning was the full partial solar eclipse. I managed to take several photographs of it using my digital camera despite clouds. Most of the pictures I made were either too over exposed or showed a light but the one using non-flash was the best photo I captured of the sun eclipse. After the eclipse, I refreshed myself by having a gentle soak in a bath with warm lavender water.

My disk wheel

A few years ago I made a disk wheel. I had to do this very carefully using protractor, rular, compass, mirror card, paper scissors and a red felt pen. I made a circle and cut it out using craft scissors. With the disk showing a metallic mirror on one side and paper on the other, I made measurements and added some runes around the edge of the circle. I used a H pencil at first and then filled it in with ink. Then I cut out a symbol of my birth sign Aries from a magazine and placed it in the centre of the disk.I keep the disk wheel in a small box and I took a couple of photos of it.
