Full description
Welsh Poem Oak Bowl: 'The Upholding Druid Oak'
Size: 5.25" x 4.5" x 2.25" (13.5cm x12cm x 6.5cm)
A hand-carved bowl of powerful oak wood.
A weighty, large piece, retaining natural shapes.
A lovely, tactile object that has a lovely rich feel and a lovely shape to sit in the hands.
A great tool for meditation and work with subtle realms.
The focus of this piece is on the manifesting, sustaining and nourishing qualities of the Oak.
Held in the highest regard by the Celts, the Oak was a symbol for all manifest and unmanifest realities.
The designs here reflect the weaving of elements and the holding of polarities that allows Oak to sustain and stabilise creation.
The inner bowl has a triple symbol of the Oak Tree Spirit.
The base has the same symbol with its mantra, or sound-spell in runes beside it.
The sides are decorated with panels that alternate manifesting spirals, representing different aspects of the many levels of reality, with panels of text.
The text is an extract of an englyn verse found within The Fourth Branch of the Mabinogi.
It is chanted by the magician Gwyddion as he stands before the oak upon which the wounded solar deity Lleu Llaw Gyffes is suffering in the form of an eagle. The chant brings the bird down from the top branches (manifestation), so that he is enabled to be reborn as a human being and healed.
