Creative Magical Vessels

Call them boxes.  Chalices.  Cauldrons.  Whatever name you fancy, let them spark your imagination. 

Dictionary.com defines the word "vessel" as "a hollow or concave utensil, as a cup, bowl, pitcher, or vase, used for holding liquids or other contents." This is certainly familiar to most of us. But it goes on to define vessel as: "a person regarded as a holder or receiver of something, esp. something nonmaterial:
a vessel of grace."

The word "magical" has so very many meanings. Here at Indigo Magic, we love the delight in peoples' eyes and the glow in their hearts when they say that word, so much so that we have made it part of our very identity. 

So come, feast your eyes on the wide range of Magical Vessels, and allow the vessel of magic that you are to be reflected in as many unique ways as we have offerings for you ... and then some!

Serpent's Egg Sculpture
price: $285.00

Jennifer Haley has sculpted an amazing piece that exudes energies of bountiful delight and deep reverence at the same time.

The sculpture features a faceted egg fashioned from green volcanic glass from Washington state.  The egg is a symbol of birth, of blossoming creativity, of possibility.  The green of the volcanic glass represents the energy of the heart chakra, and also is a color that speaks of abundance. 

A serpent holds the egg in its embrace.  This serpent is created from seed beads with opal eyes. It intertwines itself around a base studded with amethyst and clear quartz points, shells, pearls, clear topaz.  The sculpted flowers have at their center a unique stone called alexandrite. Alexandrite has the ability to change color tones under different light and historically carries the myth of bringing good luck.

The serpent is a powerful symbol of the Goddess, of feminine energy, of sexuality, of transformation, and clairvoyance—revered throughout time and across cultures spanning the globe. 

What a unique and meaningful gift this radiant piece will be for that person to whom it speaks with its silent voice.  Might that one be you?
