Earth-Mother

And around you
I will weave
A cloak of safety,
A textile of Land,
A cloth of the Lichen clad
Hawthorn
Who roams the hills
Where White Horse Hill
Woman
Would once sit and string
her amber beads
Onto the primordial necklace
Of reverence
and light
and soil.

This weaving was made in praise of the wild lichen that hangs and fringes so many moorland trees, rocks, crags.
The precious lichen, who symbolise Union- the sacred merging of algae and fungi.
And of course, the beloved Haw berries, who offer heart tending and stand in contrast with their crimson red, out from within wisps of luminous green.

Thank you, oh Earth, for your consistent and unyielding beauty.

This Shawl was the first to arrive as part of my Becoming Mother Collection. It symbolises the divine essence of the Mother of all of creation, and the luminous colour and radiance that shines through us all.

This wrap merges naturally dyed madder red thread with local sheep locks, uk alpaca fleece, wild harvested penduncle silk and a line of local dartmoor whiteface wool. It was devotionally created in honour to the Mother in the early part of March 2024.

There is the option to buy a hand crafted Shawl pin, shaped by my Partner from Local foraged Devon Oak, finished with Organic Linseed oil. You'll find the listing in the 'products' section of the website.

There is always the option to pay in instalments. Get in contact via email if you would like to discuss a payment plan.

With Gratitude to Lauren of Bare Folk Photography for the beautiful Imagery.
