Description

Divination mats bearing the 13 symbols of the Witch runes are created using finished cow or buffalo leather with the following attributes:

• Leather ranges in weight from 2.5 to 5 ounces per square foot, or roughly, per mat. Pictures show a rolled or curled mat to try to convey how the weight of the leather translates to its pliability; the heavier the weight the stiffer the leather, with the exception of the platinum finish, which is the most stiff, or least pliable due to the finishing process.

• Mats come in 6 colors/finish types; black pebble finish , red , shiny bright yellow crocodile print , mustard yellow, grey, and platinum, which is a metallic silvery-grey finish.

  The platinum finished leather is shiny but not glossy, and is stiffer and less pliable than the other 5 types.

  The shiny yellow crocodile print leather is very bright, thin and super pliable, and has visible scales resembling those on a croc hide.

  The mustard, red and grey mats are more or less smooth with some lines and variations as found in “traditional” leather hides

• Each mat is a rough hand cut circle that is 11 to 15 inches in diameter, containing a hand painted rune circle that is 12 inches in diameter and contains the 13 Witch rune symbols.

• Oil enamel paint is used and it is permanent. The circular rune design does not vary from mat to mat, however the placement of the runes in the circle is entirely random from mat to mat, as are the colors of oil enamel used to create the patterns and the inspired artwork that embellishes each mat. Every mat is a unique creation, no two will ever be exactly the same.

Inspiration for each design can show up in a variety of ways, some planned and some unexpected! it can come from the materials used, nature, sounds, colors, thoughts and memories, for example;

• Through focused meditation, scrying, and candle flame work, the images presented are incorporated into the mat design of focus

• From colors evoked by the happy sound of children laughing at play

• From the flash of a memory from long ago pulled back to the present just by hearing an old song playing on someone’s phone

• From the translation of the song of birds singing with abandon at dawn into a colorful pattern

• From the template provided by the trace made by a gust of wind swirling the first fallen flakes on a sidewalk not yet covered

These are some inspirations captured in the artwork of leather divination mats; let your intuition guide you to the one meant for you.
