Phoenix Statue

The phoenix is a mythological creature sacred within a wide range of cultures throughout the world, including the traditions of the Persians, Greeks, Romans, Egyptians, Chinese, and Indians. The most common tradition of the Phoenix is that it builds a nest for itself and ignites, burning both itself and the nest to ash. From this the Phoenix is reborn young, and places its ashes in an egg made of myrrh.

Here the sacred phoenix has been brilliantly brought to life in the form of a statue from the designs of Tom Wood. Shown rising from its flaming nest, a creature of magic and flame, the piece is hand painted and sculpted of translucent resin so that the light within your home or sacred space gives it an almost luminescent quality. Keep it within your home or upon your altar to celebrate the rebirth and renewal that are part of the immortal cycle of life.

This statue measures 9 1/2" wide and 7 1/2" tall.

 

Bastet Feminine Divine Statue

Shown here in her the form of a woman rather than a Lion or a domestic cat, the Ancient Egyptian goddess Bastet is portrayed as the epitome of the feminine divine. Regarded as a goddess who protected Egypt, its royal family, and its people, Bastet was particularly revered, as were all cats within the land. She was also associated with beauty of movement, agility, strength, caution and other such feline qualities that she was said to embody. In this case, she is imbued with grace and beauty, shown as a lithe woman garbed in the traditional robes and headdress in which she is often portrayed. Standing with her hand on her hip, her skin is jet black in contrast to the gold of her clothing, and the feline eyes that rest beneath two feline ears. Place this 10 1/2", cold cast-resin statue upon your altar and celebrate the goddess to bring the joy and protection she offers into your household.

 

Diana Statue

Diana, the Roman counterpart to the Greek goddess Artemis, is the celebrated deity of the Moon and the Hunt. She is a goddess of light and virginal purity, said to dwell in high mountains and deep within sacred woods. She has sworn to never marry, and instead is a goddess of wild animals and the woodland, who was said to possess the power to control animals and speak with them. She was also said to protect virgins, and women in general.

The sacred goddess Diana is portrayed here as a youthful woman, standing in a loose robe barefoot and wreathed in laurels. With one arm draped over a tall stag, she appears as a nymph or other such spirit of the wood, with a verdant staff in hand and a sword belted to her lithesome waist. The whole of the statue has been sculpted of cold cast resin and hand painted so as to lend the impression that it has been made of copper or bronze, with only the slightest of color accents bringing to life the greens that are part of her attire.

The entire statue measures 10 1/4" high and 6" wide.

 

Thor, the well known Norse god of thunder and lightning, is often renowned for his strength and fierce eyes, and celebrated as a protector of humanity. Wielding the hammer Mjollnir, which was said to be capable of crushing mountains, which he alone could use with the aid of the iron gloves Jarngreipr, he was known to have relentlessly struck down his foes, chief among them the giants, and perhaps most epically for his struggles with the world serpent, Jormungandr.

Fully capturing this fierce aspect of, this cold cast resin bust presents the head and shoulders of Thor, with a single arm rising up to cross his chest, its hand gripping the fabled hammer Mjolnir. With his eyes blazing and his mouth open in a war cry, he is shown with the braids of a Viking, and a wearing a winged helm atop his brow.

The bust stands 11" tall and 9" wide. Place it upon your altar in celebration of Thor’s steadfast devotion to protecting man from the evils that surround us.

 

Ram Horned Gargoyle

Used in medieval architecture to channel rain water, Gargoyles have developed a popular mythology in modern times as symbols of protection and good luck, and figures that can help in protecting against evil spirits and negative influences. This ram-horned gargoyle lends the impression almost of a loyal hound, with a canine-like face and body contrasting with its human-like eyes and bat wings that extend from its shoulders. Place it in your home or upon your altar to bring its protective presence into your life.

Made of cold cast resin, the ram horned gargoyle measures 6" tall and 8" wide at its widest point.
