Wares

Silver libation bowl - 250gp

Moulded from silver, this small bowl offers any ritualist a vessel for their use. Cast with high sides, the lip curls over creating a smooth rim around the circumference. Etched inside the basin, swirling runic markings seamlessly curl from one to the other.

Candles - 60gp

The candles are made from wax gathered in the beehives kept by the Druids of the Ithmian Forests. A small wick extends from the top of the candle and inscribed upon the black wax are runes symbolic of the shamanic arts. They come in the following colours: black, red, silver, grey, blue, pink, green, white, orange, purple, yellow, brown, and gold.

Ritual chalice - 500gp

Passive and receptive, the Chalice is a true symbol of the Neshamah, the intuition and understanding which is ever open awaiting the supernal dew which daily descends from the highest regions for the pure of soul. In ceremonial magick, the Chalice is used but rarely, and then only in the highest invocations, to bear the libations; in evocations it plays no part at all.

Bundle of incense - 75gp

Often used in religious ceremonies, incense produces a fragrant odour when burned. Bundled tightly to avoid moisture, you are unable to determine what scent this incense produces.

Water (crystal goblet) - 20gp

This goblet is made entirely of clear, facetted crystal that scatters the light. Though intricately conceived, it is light in the hand to make for easy drinking.

Bronze ritual knife - 500gp

Slightly tarnished with age, this heavy knife is made entirely of bronze. The straight razor-edge juts out of the hilt, ending in a sharp, upturned point where the blunt edge joins with it. The hilt, merely an extension of the blade, has several perforations along its length to slide the fingers into, providing adequate grip. Since it is a cutting instrument, one used for analysis and dissection, banishing in ceremonial magick is its prime function, and it should never be employed at all in works having as their climax the invocation of the highest.

Small stick of chalk - 250 gp

This slender stick of white chalk is roughly six inches long, and about half an inch in diameter. It rests within a small wooden barrel, which can be adjusted to extend the chalk out of the barrel's mouth to any length desired. Tiny, basic runes trace along the rough surface of the dark wood, carved into the material with some fine-tipped instrument. The chalk has a vaguely musty smell, and has the occasionally unwelcome tendency of transmitting milky chalk dust to any surface with which it comes in contact.

Gleaming brass thurible - 750gp

Gleaming with muted light, the rounded brass surface of this small thurible reflects a distorted image of its surroundings. An ornate sphere fixed atop a small brass stand, its upper half is punctuated by a series of small holes that open to release the fumes of the sweet incense that burns within. A long, slender chain of the same metal attaches to tiny rings on either side of the object, with a heavy brass handle halfway down its length that allows the thurible to be lifted and swung in ritual procession.

Ritualistic pentacle - 60gp

Cast from bronze, this small pentacle can easily be held in the palm, its cool outer ring bare of any markings and polished to a rounded shine. The simple five pointed star is marked with curling runes that lace across its surface in a never-ending pattern.

Obsidian-tipped wand - 2000gp

A carved wooden handle is smooth to the touch, and creates the main shaft of this wand. At twelve inches in length, its surface remains bare of decoration. Tipping the end and encased in rich silver, a simple obsidian point gleams from its multifaceted surface. The glassy stone, having been cut, reflects the light around it and centres it within, causing the glossy black to glow with an inner, subdued light.

Spiritual Hashani drum of twilit hues - 500gp

Shadows live through illusions in this uniquely crafted hand drum, its hourglass shape housing an eventide spectrum of ebon, midnight-kissed indigo, sombre ash, and deepest violet that bleed together much like the hues of a twilit sky. A leather cord of equally dark tones lashes around the narrow wooden neck betwixt the two sides, its length strung with beads of polished bone that glint strikingly against the tenebrosity surrounding them. The handle is a smooth affair that descends gracefully from the centre of neck above it, flat on both sides and chiselled with grooves to aide a firm grip to the one wielding it, and impressed upon the surface, the image of Hashan resides proudly, lightly embossed with antiqued gold.
