Nine Daughters

I am the song of the Sea

The scream of gulls

And the silent brooding depths.

I am life

And I am death,

Unformed and forever changing

Raging fury

And serene tranquility.

I am the song of the sea,

The wind over the waves.

 

 

Mythology tells us that the Sea Goddess,the Mother of the Waves, has nine daughters,and her daughters take the forms of waves.Both benevolent and malicous,gentle and violent,capable of  drawing men from their homes with their lulling songs or their wild singing.They say that once a man succumbs to their lapping voices he is lost to the sea,and will never settle on dry land again.

And mythology tells us that the most notorious of these daughters is the ninth..to meet the ninth daughter,the Ninth Wave  can be a dangerous encounter..and also a very enlightening encounter.for beyond her lies the unknown..the Other world.Tir Na Nog,the Islands of the Dead..the Apple Isles..Annwn.Seafarers would once tell the ninth wave is the most dangerous of all,capable of sinking any boat and taking all lives down into their watery embrace.

On these wild shores,when the wind rises and the sea rages,when the gulls scream and the seals seek refuge in deep water,you would do well to remember their tales.

This is a range of items crafted from the things the sea leaves behind... trinkets left to tempt us,sea jewels to enchant us...things we can only ever wonder about.

And dream of.

Gifts from the Sea Goddess..and her nine daughters.Consequently we have named the following items in honour of them.

Each piece in the Nine Daughters range is totally unique,a work of art,you might say,and each is painstakingly decorated by hand by a practising hel-runner.

Nine Daughters Welsh Sea Stone Runes.

Beautiful sets of the 24  elder futhark rune staves,hand scribed onto natural sea stones collected on the rugged shores of Ynys Mon.

Smoothed by the countless tides and the shifting of the sea.Pebbles that were once mountains that were once beneath the sea..it seems they have come full circle..a fitting testament to the phenomenal powers of the sea..and the land.And the strange magical stretch of sand that lies between both.A beach,it seems,is never just a stretch of sand..it's a gateway between the land and the sea.On this strange strip of land,when the sea mists roll and the eldritch,magical light that is found nowhere else suddenly shines,we've collected these stones and crafted them into a powerful force for divination and magic.

Sometimes serene and placid,sometimes stormy and restless,always unpredicatble,these sea stone runes may well take you beyond the Ninth Wave..and return you safely to shore,possessed of a knowledge many dream of...but few ever find.

Solid and heavy,and strangely comforting,these runes vary in colour depending on the stones themselves.Each set is very plain,boldy scribed with the rune staves..clear and easy to read.But when you cast them,make no mistake,you are drawing on the untamed power of the sea..and the vast store of unformed magic within it.

They are available in three sizes as follows:

 

Small,each stone  measuring approx 2-2.5 cms in diameter

Nine Daughters small   £14.99 UK shipping

Nine Daughters small  £14.99  International shipping

 

Medium,each stone measuring approx 2.5-2.75 cms in diameter

Large,each stone measuring 2.75-3cms in diameter.

.

But remember..they are naturally occuring stones,differences in shap and colouring is to be expected.

 

 

Nine Daughters Black mirrors....

Beautiful magical black mirrors for scrying.

Handcrafted using recycled frames and a wonderful assortment of sea treasures hand collected on the wild Welsh beaches.

Each one of these mirrors is unique..there are no two the same..but each one is beautiful.Black enamelled glass provides the means for scrying..and the mirror surrounds let the imagination run riot.But these are not mirrors that might show you Atlantis and pretty coloured mermaids.These are formed by the cold,harsh Atlantic ocean,and the precarious Celtic Sea.What they show is something else...something other..some other world.

Nine Daughters Black Mirror

Beautiful black mirror for scrying.

Black enamelled glass mirror and a distressed green wooden frame with gold inlay set with sea shells,seaweed,crab claw and sea glass..and tiny black pearls..a gorgeous thing.

                                          

But this is no pretty idealised vision of the sea,no mirror from a tropical warm shore..this is the raw edge of the Atlantic..a mirror full of screaming gulls,white horses,roaring waves,stinging sharp salt winds and the swirling sea mists.A mirror full of the song of the selkies.

And a mirror full of desires..to be gone,to be done with the land..to swim in deep water.

So be careful..the song of the sea is sometimes irrisistable.

What might you see in it?What might it show you?

What might you hear?

Another world perhaps,another song,the world of the children of the sea and the song they sing..a world perhaps beyond your wildest imaginings...

Come fly with us

Beyond the waves

Come dance with us

In deep sea caves

Will you wait for me

Where the land meets sea?

When the sea mists roll

Will you look for me?

Perhaps you will....perhaps you will find what you look for.Perhaps the mirror will show you.

Nine Daughters Black Mirror :Weaveworld

 

Stunning runic charm mirror.

This is a unique black scrying mirror that bears a runic charm to invoke knowledge and visions form the Well of Wyd.

a beautiful distressed gold frame set with sea shells,seaweed,barnacles and sea glass..and small sea stones with nine rune staves.

And these rune staves form a charm,and the charm reads:

Wyrda Webb,the weaving of days,reveal things all....

                 

Perhaps then,this is not a mirror for the inexperienced,for who knows what lies at the bottom of the Well?

What is revealed may not be what you expect..perhaps you would be a fool to expect anything..and wise to accept what you are shown.

Be warned then,this is no mirror for parlour games,it's not a mirror you might "just take a look in".This is a mirror whose language is symbols and signs,portents and prophecies.. a mirror where time has no meaning,where past,present and future become one.Somewhat confusing perhaps for the beginner...but something phenomenally powerful for the adept.

This woderful piece measures 7ins by 9 ins with a scrying area of 3 ins by 5.5 ins.This mirror has a hardboard back and is freestanding.

Like all our black mirrors,this piece has been handcrafted and magically made.

Nine Moons Black Mirror

Beautiful larger sized scrying mirror set with sea shells,crab claw,sea glass and sea weed...and nine large rainbow moonstones...three at the top and two on each of the other sides.Gorgeous moonstones in various shapes which flash blue,green and purple in the light.

                                

 

At the bottom right hand corner,set into an oyster shells is a small polished ammonite section,approx 160 million years old.

Perhaps it's not obvious initially but there is more to this mirror than meets the eye.

The nine moonstones are designed as a system of time..begining at the top left of the mirror the stones mark the passage of time before a work might be considered completed.Nine is the most powerful number in traditional crafts and nine moons,nine days..even nine times are set periods of "magical" timing.So in this mirror you might set a working..and count down it's completetion whilst watching it's progression.The ammonite is not simply a decorative addition,it's presence represents time past..that which has become..and that which will influence the present,and the future events you might be creating.

Past,present and future.That  which has become, is becoming and is obliged to be.But what will be could well depend on how you influence the present.This mirror may well give you the insight that will allow you to influence the future in your favour.

This mirror has an antique gold leaf effect wooden frame and measures 11 1/2 ins by 13 1/2 inches with a scrying area of approx 8 ins by 9 3/4 inches.

This mirror can be wall hung,all fittings will be supplied.

Hel-runer

Spectacular handcrafted oblong black mirror,a wonderful piece,aptly named..for this mirror bears the complete set of Elder futhark rune staves scribed onto sea stones set amongst a myriad of sea shells,sea glass,snail shells,driftwood,black obsidian,hematite,quartz crystal,elder and sloe berries,alder cones...and the odd bleached bone,washed up by the tide.

 

   

Welcome to the world of the Hel-runer...shapeless and shifting,where the land and the sea cease to exist as seperate forces,that strange country between the unformed and the manifested,a world where the runic forces are not simply just symbols on stones.

       

This is a wild mirror..untamed you might say,primal even..it bears no bright shining reflective glass..but instead a matt black opaque finish,akin to a deep black hole.It reflects nothing of the world about you,there are no distractions,no shadows of the commonplace world,instead,by candlelight ,you might peer into the darkness of the world beneath..whatever you see comes willingly to the surface,to the edge of the otherworld.After all, a mirror is nothing but a gateway,we look into our mirrors..never knowing we are also being looked at.

 

This is a darker mirror,both in appearance and nature..a dark green distressed wooden frame,perhaps somewhat forebooding if you happen to be looking for an ethereal fairyland.Since the scrying area is surrounded by the full set of rune staves,perhaps we should say here be aware this mirror will show what is,not what you think there is..there's a big difference,you may find your definations and presumptions severley tested...be prepared then,it may well be a good idea to restrict what comes to the mirror's surface by invitation ...unless,of course,you are not of a nervous disposition.  

Just to be on the safe side,we'll send a copy of an old Halsing Song,an invitation which you can use if your nerves get the better of you.

As with all our black mirrors,this piece has been handcrafted by a practising hel-runer,it measures 8.5 inches by 23 inches with a scrying area of 6ins by 19.5ins.It can be wall hung,we'll supply the fittings.

Nine Maidens Black Mirror

A beautiful piece,inspired by a tale in the telling..and named after the nine Daughters of the Sea Godddess.A dark framed mirror heavily laden with sea shells,seaweed and sea glass...and you might see the Nine Maidens amongst the shells..nine tiny rainbow moonstones shimmering in the light.

 

 

When the tide turns,the jagged barnacle laden rocks beneath the cliffs are full of voices..above the boom and roar of the sea you might hear them...soft sighs,giggles,wild promises and secrets told.. and the seaweed swirls in the water like so much dark hair... they might come between you and your wits,those voices,like sirens,they might cause you forget what sense you have and draw you into the water..with nothing but hopes and prayers that the Mother of the Sea will take mercy on you and return you to dry land..one more time.

This is a mirror full of sound..the wind over water,the lapping waves and gurgling current..and a mirror fulll of light.Muted shimmering light,in shades of blue and green..distorted swirling images as you might see underwater.. and the bright piercing light of the full moon or the sky when you break surface.

And it's a mirror full of secrets,the sort of secrets that belong to the heart of the sea.Through this mirror you might whistle up the wind or sumon the sea mists to descend..or lull the fury with a lullaby.A mirror for all the true sea witches,for the wolkentruden,the nebelhexen,the wetterkatz..or weather witches....and for those that would put on their skins..and return to the water,and the Nine Maidens.

 

This piece measures 7ins by 9ins with a scrying area of 3.5 by 5.5..and can be wall hung.

Wyrdda Web 2

Beautiful charmed runic scrying mirror..set with shells,sea glass,sea weed,crabs claws,quartz crystal,hematite,white and black pearls..and tiny rough emeralds.And in the bottom left hand corner..the trademark polished ammonite section.

This mirror has nine sea stones scribed with nine runic staved,froming a charm..one derived from an ancient Halsing song.

And the charm reads,very simply..Wyrdda Web,the telling of days..reveal things all.

Simple..yet very profound.For this mirror will not reveal what you presume it will..it will reveal what has been,what is..and what is obliged to be.Essential information if you wish to manipulate future events.What it will not reveal is just what you want to hear,or would like to hear..read the charm again..reveal things all.Reveal them as  they are,or were..or might potentially be...not as you imagine they were..or will be.

Complicated?Well,perhaps this is no mirror for the novice..and certainly no mirror for party tricks.What is revealed will be what is..and how it came to be..and what it may well become.

Despite the fancy stones,this is not what you'd call a pretty mirror..it's what you might call a powerful mirror.

This mirror measures 7ins by 9ins with a scrying area of 4x6ins.It has a dark wood frame and is designed to be wall hung.

Perhaps no other shells reprsent the British beach better than cockles and mussels.Often overlooked for their more exotic cousins,and yet sometimes some of the prettiest shells..certainly the most profuse.

I first set my eyes on

Sweet Molly Malone,

She wheeled her wheel barrow

Through streets broad and narow

Crying cockles and mussels

Alive alive -o...

Iron Soul Magical Box

A lovely box and powerful set with a central Hagalaz rune..and a runic charm scribed onto sea stones.

This charm reads I am Hagalaz,

Immovable.

A box for those who take their magic..and their wishes..seriously.

 

Iron Soul Magical box  £16.00

 Nine Worlds Magical Box

A wish box..or perhaps a wish manifestation box is a better term.

A magical box with a central Wunjo rune stave..wish manifestation.reward,accomplishment,material prosperity and contentment,peace and pleasure..magical will.

A wonderful thing you might say..and indeed it is,yet Wunjo is the rune stave of wish manifestation..not the idle dreams and wishes that are nice to have as a dream..but might not be so nice if they were to materialise.

This box is for those wishes you want to see manifested.So it's worth thinking about that...and worth considering the  potential consequences in the here and now should such wishes be manifested.If we know one thing,it's that any change in the staus quo has reprocussions throughout the weave..and what you wish for will have a knock on effect..so it's worth being careful what you wish for,because,in this case,it WILL come true...though maybe in a way you might never have imagined.

So.. just to make sure,the box also bears several other rune staves to each side of the Wunjo rune stave ..and they read as follows:

The Nine Worlds Know My Need....need,you see,as opposed to want.What needs to be manifested might  be successfully wished for...what you want may well be another matter altogether.

 

As you might imagine,this is a very powerful "wish" box indeed.

It's also very pretty and totally unique,oblong in shape,lined with red velvet both top and bottom and measuring 14cms by 6cms by 2.5 cms.

The Tale of the Land Serpent and the Sea Serpent.

 

And the sea shall send us a hero....

Stunning and extremley powerful hazel driftwood wand.

This is a truely gorgeous piece,a strong large wand,beautifully coloured by the sea.

A combining of the powers of the land serpent..and the sea serpent.

 

Bring in the night

Now I go forth into the fire of battle,

A hundred burning ships

Before me,

Yet still I will go.

Tyr's mark to my feet

Aegishjalmer on my head

And Wan in my heart.

May I find honour and triumph

Or find the Halls of Hel...

 

They say a hero always comes home,one way or another.

Like this wand,given back by the sea.

This beautiful piece measure 67 cms in length and a touch under 8cms in circumference.It has been strung on a hand braided cord of blue and green.It isn't perfectly straight..but it is perfectley wonderful.

 

The time for hero's is long gone,so they say.And the world is ruled by tyrants and the people are downtodden.

There are no more hero's anymore.No one to rid us of our monsters,no one to rescue our damsels in distress,no knights errant,no happy endings.

Perhaps not..but then any man can be a hero...all it takes is courage and conviction.

And the sea shall send us a hero....
