It has been a whirlwind Spring with so much activity not only on our land but also here at home where i have been creating endless products with the goal of settling on just a few of them which i will focus on as items i can advertise, mass produce and sell with relative ease. The main mission has been to find two or three products which are not only effective but also small and solid, making the packaging and posting easier. And i do believe i have now settled on my final products.
Before i get to that i would like to show you some of the things i have been working on recently.
Pottery
I mentioned a few posts ago that i found a reserve of clay in our garden while digging in a tree and after removing one bucket's worth i cleaned and dried it with the goal of making two eggs at Easter for my children. The eggs came out pretty good and it left me wanting more.
So i sat down again with the clay and crafted a bowl for Sabrina and an ashtray for our courtyard.
A little ridge on the underside of the bowl lid helps it stay on.
I put the date on the bottom and also my initials, using the style of M.C.Escher.
A little nod to this great artist whose work adorns the walls around my 'office' zone.
Have had these images on my walls since i was a teenager.
The ashtray was a lot of fun to make because it really got me thinking about how i might be able to improve on the functionality of this item which generally only serves one purpose.
I enjoyed decorating the sides with little markings.
But it was the base which no one sees that holds the key to being a more advanced kind of ashtray.
I researched which gods & goddesses have been associated with cannabis over the years and found there to be many, settling in the end on the goddess Kali, due to her destructive powers (these are needed at this time in human history) and also her dilated pupil which reminds me of Luna.
Smoking really is a sacred act and i think perhaps we forget this too easily, so the ashtray will remind us and keep us grounded.
Sabrina has requested a bonsai tree pot next. With a tray to sit in. Shouldn't be too hard...
Obviously all these items still need to be painted and glazed so until i build a kiln in the garden to reach temperatures of over 1000Β°C none of them are finished.
Antenna
One of the first things i made at the beginning of the year was a combination of two ideas, an Ighina spiral with pyramid attached.
The pyramid is made of iron & resin, the two components necessary to make this a functional orgonite, channeling its energy down the clockwise spiral into the soil.
You just stick it in the soil next to your plant like this and watch how it explodes into life.
I also made this one which was rather less planned. It was actually a full moon sleepless night which led to its creation and the pyramid has a rose quartz base. Because plants love crystals too!
It is sitting now in this pot.
Seen a month later here, looking a lot happier.
Another design i tried out was this.
And it sits now in our raised bed in the courtyard with a baby orange tree in the middle.
I made this one for our home.
Setting it in a resin/iron base.
Then i made an antenna for wider spaces, this one for an 80 year old lady, our garden neighbour who has taught us so much over the years and deserves a present.
It consists of four half lost cubit Ighina spirals with a full sized lost cubit spiral at the centre. And twelves 'spikes', four of them steel, six of them copper.
Unlike previous antenna in this style i am using a resin/iron mix to attach all the pieces to the bamboo stick. A system which i will stick to in the future as it seems very effective.
This is where i left it at the entrance to her garden, so that it would be a surprise for her.
She was very grateful (though perhaps still a bit skeptical) and has since then erected it in the centre of her raspberry bed.
Next i made this one with a flat base and three fibonacci spirals.
The base is the same conductive mix of iron & resin, but this time with two connecting cables which make contact with the iron.
I designed it to sit here, on top of a solar powered hydroponic tower in the garden.
I call this electroponics. Another combination of two ideas.
Since installing the system in the garden i have germinated three lettuce and three rocket plants.
The pump has a battery which keeps the water running on cloudy days.
Am just experimenting for now, seeing what can be done with minimal nutrition and maximum electroculture, but overall I am quite impressed by the progress of the plants so far.
Charging plates & Obelisk
I made this charging plate for my brother before we went to America in Feb but it didn't dry in time so has ended up here on my desk.
This one is much smaller but has a powerful iron/resin base and single tensor ring in the centre.
As the iron base is magnetic all one has to do is attach a neodymium magnet to the back and it will stick to anything metal, making it an excellent fridge magnet which will bring life to the things in our fridge.
This plate was very much an experiment, just to see if i could capture forever the essence of these Spring flowers.
It isn't easy to do this as the flowers must be completely dry before going in the resin (otherwise the colours will change) so one is limited by their ability to dry flowers in a pleasing manner.
Have been testing out all manner of flowers with limited success, but i will keep trying until i find 'just the right one' for my plates.
This plate was another of those full moon moments where i was just going with the flow. Four trinity symbols surrounding a sacred cubit tensor ring on an iron/resin base.
After which i added crystals and a central spiral to bring it to life.
The finished charging plate here.
It has ended up on my desk as a spot for my first obelisk which is currently holding my dowsing pendulm.
Obelisks are amazing shapes, a bit more testing to make than your average pyramid.
Time will tell if they also serve as effective antenna.
Pyramids
Still interested in the idea of preserving flowers i made a few pyramids with flowers & resin, plus a copper frame to give the item some kind of electroculture effect.
Looks like four flowers from above but this is just the optical effect of the four sided pyramid.
I also tried out this ivy flower cluster, with twisted wires and copper powder connection at the top.
And was relatively happy with the result.
I've had these copper rods for a while and had intended to weld them into a pyramid.
But i went for the easy route in the end, buying these 3D printed corners which made construction extremely simple.
The pyramid was placed on a courgette in the garden and there is no question about it, this courgette now looks healthier than the others.
Coming back to the idea of twisted copper frame pyramids i made this pyramid with a quartz crystal at the centre and iron/resin around it.
With a trinity tensor ring symbol at its base.
Plus this one.
With a simple tensor ring at the base.
I really like these pyramids and knowing this is a 100% original design i kept pushing myself to make more, always playing and tweaking a little, trying to improve on the design. Some worked better than others.
Am currently running tests with these pyramids to prove their effectiveness on plant growth.
Because that which is good for plants is also good for us, making these decent pyramids to have around our home.
The 52Β° cement/basalt cone
Having seen the effectiveness of Yannick Van Doorne's cement/basalt tower on my plants i have been keen for a long time to make my own version of this. Here you can see Yannick's tower in the middle of my baby kale, keeping them healthy and strong.
So i bought a cement cone mold, larger than the cone on Yannick's tower.
My first finished basalt/cement cone seen here. Even without a base i know this shape is effective.
So I put it amongst some pots on a table in the garden and almost instantly the reaction was clear.
They love it!
Which of these products will i sell?
In truth i will happily make any of them on request but i will primarily focus on the last two, the copper frame iron pyramids and the cone. They are both heavy (which will make postage more expensive) but they are also extremely effective, compact and difficult to damage in a well packed box.
I am however not done personalizing the cone yet and have ordered more basalt in order that i can play now with the overall look. Like the pyramid, i want it black and i want copper tensor rings around it. Ideally a set of three, the Sacred, Lost & Empowerment cubits. Am even thinking to give the cone an outer layer of resin which will permanently seal the tensor rings against the cone and keep them looking shiny forever.
There are many people out there selling orgonite pyramids and basalt cones already so i want mine to stand out as being different to the others and believe a uniform black colour with copper outlines is a great step in this direction.
As a cheaper alternative to these two main products i will also offer the Ighina spirals with the iron/resin pyramids attached. These are easier/faster to produce and are more suited to a single plant, rather than a wider space in your garden or home.
Here is the plant one of these spiras ended up in and i must say i am impressed by the way it has reacted.
Seems a darker shade of green than it was before.
So there you have it!
Three products i believe in which are original, effective and beautiful.
I will keep running tests with them now, getting plenty of photographic evidence for their effectiveness and i will also make films which go with each product, to explain how they work and why i built them the way i did!
Excited to make these available to the public and start getting friendly with my local post office, should there be any demand...
I leave you with a shot of a myself and a recent book written by one of my sisters about the life of our father in the Philippines. I have a little bit of pride attached because one of the chapters was written by me.
Love & Light everyone π±
