Magical Acacia Wood - Nib Holder for Dip Pen/Calligraphy NibsFrom artisancuriosities

The wood of the acacia tree is used for protection and to stimulate psychic powers. Acacia wood is also used in money and love spells, so this pen would be well suited to spell and script work. The wood is masculine in nature and its associated with the elements of sun and air. It's associated deities are Osiris, Astarte, Ishtar, Diana and Ra. Acacia is helpful in warding off evil, so if you keep a journal keep it and the pen by you while you sleep!

The nib holder itself measures 5 1/4 inches in length. It will take any standard, push in nib. Please note that as these are such a personal preference NO nib is supplied. This listing is for a holder only. You should be able to purchase individual nibs at your local stationer or elsewhere on the web.

I believe that these beautiful woods should be within the reach of anyone who appreciates their beauty and so I try to keep pricing reasonable for an individually handcrafted item. We don't produce hundreds all to the same pattern. Each item in my store is crafted with care and as such no two items can be identical. The photos are of the pen that you will be receiving.

We prefer to know where our wood has come from and that it has not meant the loss of another beautiful tree! Occasionally we do buy rare or exotic woods, but only from managed woodlands and for the most part our woods come in small quantities from friends managing their own gardens (in the case of native woods) and even occasionally from old buildings during the course of renovation and restoration! Because we only make very small items we can often salvage enough timber for our needs using offcuts from our carpentry friends without the involment of timber merchants and the evil that is commercial felling.
