Happy (very belated) Ostara!

[the_vulture]

Sorry this comes a bit late, but I wanted to share with you a couple images of both the egg I created for our Ostara ceremony and an arrangement I created for my seasonal altar.



And, yes, that silhouette IS a cut-out. It's my first go at this kind of sculpture. Mistakes were made along the way, but it turned out not too bad, no?



So I like rocks...

Speaking of rocks, I picked up a piece of unfinished fire agate:



It has an EYE!

Thank you! The light stand is actually one of those LED candle replacements you can pick up at a dollar store. As the bottom of the egg was open, I was able to sit it over the little plastic 'flame'.

As for the fire agate, as it, according to my HPS, has properties of protection against negative energy, I'm going to empower it as a ward. It's already got the 'watchful eye' thing down. :)

First of all, the egg cutout is really neat. What is the design on it of?
Second: That fire agate looks really cool with that "eye". Where did you find it? Take care of yourself! :D

Thank you! I used an image suggesting a prehistoric Goddess image, as befitting my pagan nature. I added a sun pattern overhead to symbolize the turning of spring (we celebrate Ostara on the Spring Equinox).

As for the fire agate, I picked that up at my local pagan supply shop.
