{"product_id":"wrath-of-medusa-talisman","title":"Wrath of Medusa Talisman","description":"\u003cp class=\"cc-materials\"\u003eLabradorite Skull • Birch Wood • Black Obsidian • Glass • Blackened Copper\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"716\" data-end=\"761\"\u003eLabradorite rests at the center of this work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"763\" data-end=\"972\"\u003eA one of one ritual talisman formed slowly by hand in my Seattle studio in collaboration with Aura Merkabah. An original Crystal Coven talisman created for meditation, spellwork, and communion with the unseen.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"974\" data-end=\"1260\"\u003eThe Medusa Talisman draws upon the powerful mythology of Medusa, a figure whose story has long been interpreted through themes of transformation, protection, and righteous defense. Her image has historically been used as a protective symbol, turning harmful forces away from the bearer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1262\" data-end=\"1495\"\u003eFor some practitioners Medusa also represents survival, reclamation, and the strength that can emerge from injustice. This talisman was created as a piece that honors those themes and the fierce protective energy associated with her.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1497\" data-end=\"1666\"\u003eA carved Labradorite skull forms the centerpiece of the talisman, set around a birch wood core that has been slowly encased through the process of copper electroforming.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1668\" data-end=\"1879\"\u003eBlackened copper forms the body of the talisman. Copper is a metal I return to often in my work, valued for its grounding qualities and its ability to conduct and amplify the energies of the stones it surrounds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1881\" data-end=\"2015\"\u003eThe talisman rests upon an 18 inch hand beaded chain of Black Obsidian, glass, and copper beads, secured with a handmade copper clasp.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2017\" data-end=\"2122\"\u003eNatural stones may contain inclusions or surface variation that do not affect the stability of the piece.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2124\" data-end=\"2199\"\u003eRemove before sleeping, bathing, or swimming. Treat the talisman with care.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2201\" data-end=\"2255\"\u003eIf you feel called to this piece, trust that instinct.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2257\" data-end=\"2338\"\u003eArrives ready to wear or gift onward.
