Willow Wood Pentacle Silver Spiral Moon Sun Catcher

 

Looks a bit askew in the video, 

it's the way I'm holding it to make it spin so you can see the way round x

Just made this lovely Silver Spiral Moon and set it on a Pentagram made from the Willow that grows happily in my garden.  It's woven under and over in the traditional way rather than just placed one branch on top of the other. 

I've attached the moon just to the top point of the pentagram to give movement.  

The moon naturally wraps itself around the pentagram, but if you wanted to it could easily be adjusted to hang in front of the pentagram.

The Sun catcher crystal in the middle of the pentagram will cast lovely rainbows around you home when the sun hits it and is half covered with an aura borealis coating to look good for when the sun isn't shining.

The Waxing Crescent Moon, signifying new beginnings and growth, is made from silver plated wire.  I have spiralled the wire not only to look decorative but also because the spiral is one of the oldest symbols  and has several different spiritual meanings.

The pentagram measures approx 10" across.

Willow Pentacle Silver Spiral Moon

Willow Tree of Life, Elements Pentacle/Pentagram

This Pentagram is made from Willow out of my garden where it is growing very happily.  The struts of the Pentagram have been woven in and out, up and over of each other not just placed flat on the top of each other.  In the center I have wire worked a Tree of Life with copper wire and leaf shaped beads of various shades.  On each point is an elemental correspondence and a small bell - fire is a sun charm, earth a small stone, air a feather, water a shell and a Goddess charm for Spirit. It's for sale in my shop, take a look if you'd like it hanging in your home or as a gift.

I'm planning on doing some more pentacles similar to this one and the one in the post below which had lots of beads wired on to it.

I think of Pentacles as having the circle around the Pentagram shape to give order to chaos, and contain elements/thoughts for more focus, though some people think of them in different ways so never quite sure which way to label Pentagrams/Pentacles (labeling can cause conflict!)  Which way do you think of Pentacles and Pentagrams?
