Made a holder for my plague mask by staying up far too late last night building lmao. Used a stormtrooper head as a base and went from there.

TW; Spider Pendant

TW; Spiders. Pagany stuff/stories incoming below the cut.

“If I become someone else after this, trust me, it wasn’t by accident.”

Concept/Initiation piece made based on the song Apotheosis by Kai Straw.

Gold, Glass, Garnet, Brass, Obsidian, Snowflake Obsidian, Pyrite, and Onyx.

Alright, story time!

So, was given an initiation ritual by Konpè Anansi to see if I was ready to begin studying(?) to become a Griot/Jeli/Storyteller (note later*) and that was. Exhausting. Basically, he had me memorize a story (in this case, a song) while crafting a piece of jewelry for him, while also folding the spiritual essence of the story into the song to prove I could work with Story Magic as well.

After finishing the piece, which took 2.5h, he had me recite it back to him without messing up (minus a couple flubs due to physical lisp with certain words) to finish the enchantment and Appraised it and the story to see how I did. I haven’t expended my energy over that long of a time while also doing a physical task without stopping before and BOY was that a time. It was so hard to make. That’s essentially 4 separate necklaces in one that I had to make while memorizing something AND keeping spellwork going.

Konpè Anansi told me to find out where to learn more about becoming a Jeli/Griot and to ask around about it, because it’s usually a hereditary role but all records of my family pre-great great grandmother were burned during the civil war, and all my living family is Very Christian. After he had me go through this test he told me “you have my blessing to seek instruction on this now” but I just.. don’t know where? And knowing Anansi it might just Happen but I still feel like I should ask around, but pandemic Extremely Complicates things.

Pagany shit incoming below.

Leather, Adventurine, Wood, and Brass. I bought this pendant, I didn’t make it.

Made this piece for Ancestor work! I had originally made it with a different pendant, but it wasn’t working as well as I hoped with the rest of the piece.
