Symbolism and Craftsmanship:
Oak Wood: Crafted from ancient oak, a wood revered in Celtic spirituality for its strength and endurance. The oak represents protection and steadfastness, making this decoration a meaningful guardian for your home during the festive season. Algiz Rune: Carved into the oak, the Algiz rune is a powerful symbol of protection, connection to the divine, and a shield against harm. This rune embodies the spirit of Yule, offering a safeguard as the year turns anew. Mussel Shell: The shimmering mussel shell inlay adds a layer of spiritual depth. Mussel shells, known for their connection to water and the moon, symbolize intuition, emotional healing, and the flow of life. The iridescence of the shell reflects the rune’s protective energy. Sustainable Craftsmanship:
This decoration is not just a symbol of ancient traditions, but also a testament to sustainable craftsmanship:
Linseed Oil Finish: Each piece is finished with a delicate touch of linseed oil, which enhances the wood's natural beauty and forms a protective layer. Brays Bees Cream Polish: We finish the decoration with a coating of Brays Bees cream polish, a locally sourced product from nearby beekeepers. This polish enriches the wood's natural allure while supporting local businesses. Perfect for Your Festive Home:
