Please see Projects for greater detail about the talismans. These work are available for adoption.
Sacred talismans such as Motanky, Pysanky, and Rushnyky are traditionally “given” rather than sold. It is thought that the act of gifting increases their “powers” as a talisman and selling them “devalues” these powers. Likewise, when performing rites, ceremony, sacred healing, and prayer work, these are not done for a fee… Visiting a Mol’farka, Baba, Babka, Sheptukha, Znakharka, Vorozhka, and any other number of wyse/ cunning/ magical women came with the understanding that one would leave a donation in exchange for their services and time.
Most folks these days do not carry that cultural understanding and practice. For that reason, I have chosen to suggest my ceremonial work & creations are available for adoption by donation. This approach requires, on my part, trust that the time, resources, and accumulated skill and knowledge will be received with care and understanding, and reciprocated in a way that will allow me to continue (and thrive) in this work. Ceremonial crafting is not about “picking and choosing” what is comfortable or easy. It is a genuine adherence to and integrity within a lifestyle that requires commitment to the practice, skills, spirits, and land.
To adopt a sacred talisman comes with responsibility to care for the talisman with respect, and if ever there comes a time to release the talisman, it is done ceremonially (proper instructions are given when the talisman is purchased/ shipped).
A booklet accompanies the talisman:
the prayers and intentions the talisman carries;
the land the talisman is connected to and stories related to its making;
what the talisman will bring to your home or place it resides;
instructions for assembling and hanging the talisman;
care instructions;
release instructions.
Please email me directly with the following information:
the talisman you are interested in adopting;
what interests you in stewarding the talisman;
any questions you have;
what donation you would like to offer in exchange.
Please be aware that, due to the size of the talismans, I will ask you to cover the cost of shipping.
My gratitude for your sincere and serious consideration of this responsibility…
