• Moon Magic Art Card
• When readying yourself for lunar work, contemplate this card to grow your connection with other women engaged in the same practice.
• Illustrated by Alexandra Dvornikova, this card pictures a wise woman practicing her craft surrounded by moths, mushrooms, and candles. Approximately 4x6 inches.
• Crescent Moon Mark
• Apply this mark during any moon phase to amplify the messages you send out to the universe.   You can place it on your upper arm, spine, or any other energetic point.

  4.  Gently peel away paper backing.
  
• White-Tipped Matches
• You choose how to use flame in your work.  It can be used to erase, to destroy, to cleanse, or to grow.  Smoke can create pathways through the veil.
• So much more beautiful and effective than a plastic lighter or cardboard matchbook, these lovely wooden matches burn with a clean, bright flame. Ignite them easily with the discreet strike paper on the bottom of the glass jar. You'll receive a dozen matches in a glass vial. 
• Goddess Stone
• When you are guided to this stone in the Forest, you feel its powerful feminine energy and connection to the Goddess.  It is a stone for wise women, and you are one of them.  Your stone's influence buffers away feelings of guilt and inadequacy, unmuffling your tacit knowledge and intuition.
• These AA-grade chrysocolla stones are ethically sourced in Peru and measure about 1-1.5 inches.  Each stone has been hand-polished to create a smooth surface and rounded shape.  Some stones feature inclusions of malachite or azurite.
• Crystal Grid
• Your stones and crystals, working together, are greater than the sum of their parts.  This mandala crystal grid, created from wood given by the Forest,  provides you with a platform to experiment with and organize their energies.  Visualize pathways in the grid illuminating as you discover sympathetic corridors.  Try different arrangements in various lunar phases.
• This 4 inch crystal grid is made of birch wood, which has a rippling sheen like a pale tigerseye.
• Ritual Scissors
• The Crows have sent you a tool.  Just as you choose how to use flame in your work, you can decide how to direct the power of these scissors.  You can use them for ribbon or cord work, or to chiffonade herbs.  Or, snip a tiny lock of hair from the nape of your neck and use it to magnify lunar rebirth rituals.
• Made of antiqued brass-plated 3CR13 stainless steel, these scissors are about 3.5 inches in length.
• Moth Spell
• In Birdmoss, a visiting moth indicates the watchful protection of ancestors.  Quicken your moth by passing it through a flame in the moonlight.  Pin it inside your coat, your bag, or elsewhere upon your person.  Any negative energy directed towards you will be funneled to your moth; and it will slip easily through its sieve-like structure.  Jealousies and hexes lose their sticking power.  The moth symbol connects you to ancestors, and the stitch marker pin connects you to other women doing wise work with tools like needle, thread, and yarn.
• Made of STL-1066 stainless steel, your moth is about 1.5 inches across.
• Moon Water Vial
• This delicate vial has been chosen for you.  Use it to prepare a small amount of highly charged moon water.  Fill the vial with spring water, quicken it with your positive intentions, and expose it to the light of the Moon.  Dab your moon water on your pulse points or use it to cleanse your ritual tools.  It is up to you to choose the lunar phase which is right for this task.  
• Your artisan-made blown glass vial is unique.  Vials vary in shape, size, and color.  They are about 1.5-2.5 inches tall.  The handcrafted top can be used as an applicator, but is not water-tight.
