Old Carnelian

Ritual jewelry for Hecate feast day.?

I am going to make some ritual jewelry honoring the Goddess Hecate for her feast day on November 16 which incidently is my Birthday. After some research I found the following a list of stones that I want to use: Obsidian, Jet, Onyx, dark garnet and Dark Red Carnelian. I will also use some Amber. The following symbols are thought of as hers too...crossroads,keys,torches, gate ways, black dogs, black ewe lambs, cauldron, snakes all moon phases,graveyards and the three phases of women (maid, mother & crone). Is there any other symbol that could be used as well? I am in the design phase of my project and working on sketches of what I want to do. My sons are hobby metal workers as my oldest is a sword and knife maker. Any suggestions?
Hey!!!I put this in R & S and it ended up here???? what gives?????

My guess is that the computer saw all your references to gems and stuff, and changed the category to Earth Sciences.

Those computers can be awfully stupid.

Best wishes honoring Hecate, it sounds like you have some great ideas!!! Plenty to work with even if you did something with everything you listed. You could use 3 different colored stones to make a nice Triple Goddess pendant. You could make drop earrings in the shapes of swords if you had nice long pieces of amber, that would be really pretty, esp with a little onyx at the "handle" of the sword. Your could get very whimsical with pins and make pins and brooches out of stones that could be shaped into any of the things you listed as being associated with Hecate, like a garnet snake, garnet and obsidian moon phases, the black animals could be carved from the onyx, and a torch would be great to create out of the amber for the flame, with a different color for the torch part.

What a great way to honor Hecate's energy and presence in your life!!! Good luck!

Bright Blessings,
