Celtic Tree Calendar and a blog mention!

Above and below: Celtic Tree Calendar staves
The Celtic Tree Calendar begins and ends at the Celtic new year of Samhain (Hallowe'en) at the end of October. Each moon throughout the year corresponds to a different tree, it's energies and teachings. 
*
This unique set contains the thirteen staves of the Celtic Tree Calendar, each one handcrafted from the traditional corresponding wood. As each new moon arrives, the corresponding stave can be used as an aid to meditation or attunement with both the new month and the tree itself. The staves can also be used for divination in the same way as the ogham or runes. 
*
Each set of Celtic Tree Calendar staves has a brief introductory sheet included with information about the tree calendar and the uses of the staves.
*
We work and play in the ancient Celtic heartlands of Britain where the Durotriges and Atrebates tribes ruled in prehistory. These tree calendar staves are handcrafted ritual tools with real Celtic soul, something with real spirit and as each set is individually made, no two are ever the same.

Supplied with a simple muslin bag or a handsewn leather bag can be purchased separately.

On a slightly different note, last autumn I traded a beautiful patchwork skirt made by a wonderful lady called Brenna who has a lovely Etsy shop called Sutara. I sent a set of the Native Corresponding runes and a leather bag in exchange for the skirt. Brenna emailed today, out of the blue, to say that she mentioned the runes in her blog so I took a look and was bowled over! What a wonderful review! I'm truely touched that she's enjoying them so much ... you can read the blog post here and find the rest of Brenna's blog at Way Know How

There are still more items to be added tomorrow at some very special prices for the summer ... next on the list is a rather gorgeous Celtic Tree Calendar wristband :)
