The
ritual uses of the Crown are myriad. Worn as a personal emblem of one's faith or tradition
or needed by a Priestess, Priest, or celebrant for a specific rite,
Sabbat or
Esbat,
our Crowns provide the wearer with the prefect image to honor their patron
and fulfill their role within the Circle. When a sincere person attends to
the voice of the Divine Within, there is no wrong way to hear.
In many
traditions, the Lunar Crescent Crown is worn by the Maiden. The Matron
is adorned by either the Full Lunar Crown or the Lunar Phase Crown.
The independent-minded, opinionated Crone wears a veil Crowned with whatever
she pleases--not uncommonly the Lunar Phase Crown or the Dark Lunar Crown,
as the mood takes her.
We invite you
now to peruse our ritual Crowns as they have been imagined by our artisans.
Seek with the eyes--listen with the heart.
Those who
follow the Dark Moon have long bowed to the Goddess as Dark Mother, knowing
that she is Mother in all of her aspects, not the Light alone. To the
enrichment of all, increasing numbers of the Mother's children are
discovering that there can be no Light without Darkness. Moving outward
from the safety of the Light, they have begun to explore and expand the
limits of our world and establish pathways into the Great Dark for us to
follow.
The bronze of
our Dark Lunar Crown is given a golden brown patina that is quite intense.
The disc has the same lunar surface texture as our Full Lunar Crown but is
deeper in this incarnation, to take and hold the unusual hue. The disc is
then hand-buffed with care to preserve the detail. Fairly gleaming with
golden darkness, this Crown is simply like no other in the world.
