Self-Mortification Monk Brass Statue

$125.00

A self-mortification monk brass statue represents the ascetic phase of the fasting Buddha (Siddhartha Gautama) or the rigorous spiritual discipline of venerated masters who pursued extreme self-denial to attain enlightenment. Most commonly, these statues depict Siddhartha during his six years of extreme asceticism and self-mortification. The emaciated figure represents his total renunciation of worldly pleasures and his unwavering determination to find the truth. Serving as a sacred reliquary and focal point for worship, a self-mortification monk statue is placed in home shrines or small altars. These statues act as visual mantras, reminding practitioners of persistence, humility, and spiritual resolve. They also testify to a monk's extreme self-discipline and commitment to spiritual perfection, inspiring followers to live with similar intention and mindfulness. Measuring 7cm high, 6.3cm wide, and 3.5cm deep, this small brass statue is portable, offering protection and spiritual presence during travel. Alternatively, it may be placed on an altar to serve as a focal point for worship and spiritual veneration.

Divination Board ‘Goddess Aset’

$29.95

This unique divination board combines a pendulum and talking board in one design, offering the yes/no/true/false of a pendulum board and the full alphabet of a talking board, with Aset as the central figure, her protective wings spread in a warm embrace. Aset, more commonly known as Isis, is one of the most significant and enduring goddesses of Ancient Egypt, often depicted in a sheath dress, with large, protective wings, sometimes in the form of a kite bird. Originally a secondary figure in the Old Kingdom, she eventually rose to become the "Queen of the Universe" and a universal deity. Known as Great of Magick,’ she was believed to possess powers greater than those of all other gods and was frequently invoked to heal the sick and protect children.  In contemporary culture, Aset is viewed as an archetypal mother figure, representing unconditional love, healing, and protection. Modern practitioners of Wicca and other occult traditions frequently invoke her as a supreme source of magickal power and intuition.
