A miniaturized version of the 115MC, this pentacle candle holder, carved with Celtic knotwork as well as traditional Celtic swirl patterns. It is a symbol of Earth and Prosperity as seen in the tarot.
The two faces of the God stand back-to-back representing duality. The Leaf King, or Leaf Man, reigns Spring to Fall as the God of plenty and fruitful harvest. He is boisterous and loud, full of life, song, stories, and jokes. Carefree and thrilled to be alive, life arises wherever his staff touches. The Stag King, or Antlered God, along with his devoted hound, rules in the dark of the year and leads the wild hunt. His horns connect him with the animals who give sustenance in winter. The torc on his arm is a mystical symbol of authority. The Ram-headed serpent represents his seasonal office, possible, Scorpio to Aries, his astrological reign.
The Triple Goddess is beautifully depicted, representing three phases of a woman's life. The Maiden emerges gently, like the Spring with the waxing crescent on her brow, full of promise, youth and vitality. Graced by the full moon, the Mother stands proud and enraptured. At the height of pregnancy, she is strong, fecund, and as abounding as Summer. The wise Crone bends below the waning crescent. Her staff serves as an affirmation of her authority as an elder rather than a sign of frailty. Her eyes twinkle with understanding and mischief. She is the brilliance of the Fall leaves before we pass into the dark of the year.
