"Viper's nest" is how she wants to be called.
And it is almost ridiculous how much I craved to create her.
Enough to go to the bench and wobble around in today's humid heat (then I finished and ran inside and plopped on the bed for hours, but oh well! 😂).
.
The last few weeks have been deep work for me on the ancestral wounds and on the feminine and the sexuality - the three also kinda interconnect for me.
I think it's partially the energy that was going on between the full and new moon, and partially simply something I need to acknowledge and heal.
So hello spindle and hello again Snake.
.
Spinning thread for me is a prayer and something that magically connects me to the ancestors, I can't even explain why or how, but I always need long spinning session when facing ancestral issues.
.
The Snake has been a teacher of shedding and graceful change in the past years, and now it also has the role of sexuality and feminine power - nothing new here, since Snake was always sacred to the Goddess, eh?
.
And this ring...really really needed to come and challenge me. Challenge me to make it happen despite the fact I could have used a stronger flame than the one I own, for instance. Challenge me to find something to set when the river stone I chose broke - oh well, this copper nugget looks much better than it anyway - accept surprises, accept you can't control everything. Surrender.
.
Two sterling silver snakes entwined and curled around a magical copper nugget that was created by water casting - so I decided it is perfect because it's born in the female element, water, after being made liquid by the fire. It all makes sense on a magical level, yes?
.
The ring is heavy, textured, with points of high polish and rough patches.
It makes me feel electric and with wild creative power.
It turned out much more than I envisioned it to be, and for this I am grateful.
