| Gold-tone Baphomet Statue | |
 |
Few images are so at the core of philosophical and theological debate as the figure of Baphomet. Baphomet did not appear in manuscripts or writing until the 12th century, and thereafter the name and image has been a subject of debate and controversy almost wherever it appears. Here Baphomet is depicted as the Sabbatic Goat, as first illustrated by Eliphas Levi in 1854 within his work 'Dogmas and Rituals of High Magic.' As such, Baphomet appears as a winged humanoid goat with a pair of breasts and a torch burning between its horns, behind a pentagram marking his brow. The whole of the symbolism is described by Eliphas as: The goat on the frontispiece carries the sing of the pentagram on the forehead, with one point at the top, a symbol of light, his two hands forming the sign of hermetism, the one pointing up to the white moon of Chesed, the other pointing down to the black one of Geburah. This sign expresses the perfect harmony of mercy with justice. His one arm is female, the other male like the ones of the adrogyn of Khunrath, the attributes of which we had to unite with those of our goat because he is one and the same symbol. The flame of intelligence shining between his horns is the magic light of the universal balance, the image of the soul solely responsible part has to bear the punishment exclusively; because the soul is insensitive according to its nature and can only suffer when it materializes. The rod standing instead of genitals symbolizes eternal life, the body covered with scales the water, the semi-circle above it the atmosphere, the feathers flowing above the volatile. Humanity is represented by the two breasts and the androgyn arms of this sphinx of the occult sciences. in As a figure of great occult symbolism, Baphomet was embraced by Aleister Crowley in Thelema, as a representation of arcane perfection. Similarly, many modern Satanists also took up the symbol as a portrayal of Satan, or a demon. Whatever you choose to believe in its representation, this gold-tone statue of Baphomet is a fantastic piece for the magical altar. Sculpted from plaster with impressive attention to detail, it stands approximately 12 in tall and 7 1/2 in wide at its widest point. |

| Hermes Statue | |
 |
Hermes, the great messenger of Greek mythology, is a god who is spoken of in a great many legends and myths. Known for the winged sandals that helped him fly, and swiftly carry the messenges of the Gods, Hermes is the god of travelers, those who cross boundaries, as well as shepherds and herdsmen. His cunning and wit also left him viewed as a patron of those who made a living with their charisma and words, even as his trickery left him a patron of thieves and liars. Here he is depicted in a cold-cast resin statue, sculpted with exquisite attention to every detail and hand painted so as to appear to be crafted of bronze. With his winged sandals leaving up a cloud of dust as he flies, and his short robe billowing about his waist, he appears intent upon his travels as he gazes down upon the mortals below; perhaps on some mission of urgency to the Gods of Olympus. Measuring in at approximately 9 1/4 in high, 7 1/2 in wide, and 4 1/2 in deep, this statue will easily fit upon most altars for your veneration and can be set upon your shelf or desk to decorate your home. |

| Horus Statue | |
 |
Often viewed as the patron god of Egypt, Horus is widely recognized as one of the eldest and most revered of the Egyptian gods. Indeed, in the days of Ancient Egypt the Pharaoh was believed to be Horus in life much as he was believed to be Osiris in death, with each new Pharaoh merely being a new incarnation of Horus; a concept that had overtaken the earlier belief that the Pharaoh was the son of Ra. As the conqueror of Seth, the god of war and hunting, and the protector of Egypt, his symbol, the Eye of Horus, became a symbol of protection and power, helping to ward off evil. Taking the form of the traditional image of Horus, this statue celebrates the patron deity as he was known to the Ancient Egyptians. With the head of a falcon crowned in rulership of all of Egypt, he is posed as one might see him portrayed in ancient hieroglyphs: one foot slightly forward with his forward hand holding the carrying the traditional staff and his relaxed arm carrying the ankh. The whole piece stands approximately 12 in tall, 2 3/4 in wide, and 4 in deep and has been painted in rich tones of gold and black. |

| Large Crescent Raven Pentacle Wall Plaque | |
 |
The raven swoops silently in the night sky. If you stop breathing and hold perfectly still you might hear its feathers rustle in the wind as it passes just above the tree tops. Raven’s dark ominous presence, guttural croaks and unearthly sounds are synonymous with power, fate and transformation within the occult. Few animals carry the magical history or summon the instinctive visceral response of this feather emissary. Bring the power home. Polyresin cast with wood finish, 13 in x 12 in. |

| Odin bust | |
 |
The chief Norse god and ruler of Asgard, Odin is depicted here in this fantastic bust. Known as a patron of wisdom, war, poetry, magic and the hunt, he is displayed here as he is often portrayed; a one-eyed god of aged wisdom and valor. Head and shoulders are shown here, with his cloak swept back over the shoulders and concealing the plates of his armor. From beneath his horned helm, his beard and hair flow out, braided in the Norse fashion to rest upon his chest, but not concealing the firm set of his jaw and the stern line of his eyes, one of which is covered with a patch. All of this is displayed with fantastic detail, with wonderful attention paid to the ornamentation displayed upon his helm and patch. Great for the altar or home, this bust stands approximately 11 1/2 in tall and 9 in wide and is sculpted of cold-cast resin, providing a vivid presence for the Norse chief of Gods where ever you wish to put it. |

| Orisha Chango | |
 |
One of the most celebrated of the Orisha, Chango (or Shango), is revered as the Sky Father; a spirit and god of thunder and lightning. As such, he is often viewed as the chief spirit and power within Santeria, and many other faiths with a Yoruba background. Having culture and ceremony that is perhaps the most intact from the middle passage, Chango is also viewed as a symbol of African resistance against an enslaving European culture. Before he was deified, he was actually the third king of Oyo, in Yorubaland, land and is celebrated for bringing prosperity to his lands, during his life. His worship is said to bring power and self control to his followers, as well the prosperity and protection that he can confer. /br>Here he is portrayed as a powerfully muscular African man, wearing the crown that marks him as King. Wearing the colors that are his symbol, he is dressed in deep red robes, cinched together with a white belt, and is armored in numerous cowrie shells. Viewed as a powerful protector, the mask of Elegua, the Orisha of trickery, is also left by his feet, along with five cowrie shells. A powerful representation of the Sky Father, this statue of Chango is perfect for your altar, or in decorated your home. It measures approximately 15 in high, not including the axe that can be removed from his hand, and 7 in wide, and is sculpted in cold-cast resin and natural cowrie shells. |
