| Aradia | |
 |
Strong, lovely and charismatic, Aradia (her name is derived from Herodias, queen of witches) was the daughter of moon goddess Diana. She is a timeless spiritual entity, embodying Kore in her power, Aphrodite in her beauty, and Diana in her courage and love of wild places. She was sent to Earth as prophetess of the religion of witchcraft, with the mission of protecting women from the oppressions of feudalism. With her broomstave of power, her cloak of mystery, and her knowledge of every plant, she gave fright to the Inquisition. Aradia taught women how to invoke the full moon at midnight, sprinkling salt from a red bag while asking favors of the Goddess. With quiet authority she proclaims 'Never Again the Burning!' Note the small pentacle on reverse of Aradia's cloak-hem. (image copyright 1999, Abby Willowroot) Antique stone colored Gypsumstone statue, 8 1/2 in. |

| Artemis | |
 |
The goddess of forests, virginity and the hunt, Artemis was one of the most widely revered goddesses of ancient Greece, and was often regarded as the beautiful daughter of Zeus and Leto, and the twin sister to the famed god Apollo. Indeed, she was even said to have been born first, before immediately aiding her mother in the birth of Apollo, and for this reason she is often viewed as a goddess of fertility and childbirth. Often depicted with a bow and arrows, she is also viewed as a fearsome woman, who was said to have often punished or slain those who offended her or forgot to make offerings to her at the proper times. This is how she is shown in this wonderful statue; a lithe young woman, with bow drawn back and arrow knocked, she is a goddess of the hunt with a wolf representing this ferocity, howling by her feet. From her head sprouts a mantle of stag horns, representative of the animal which was sacred to her, while her feet seem to rest upon the surface of the moon; a symbol that was sacred to the virginal goddess. Made of cold cast resin, the statue stands approximately 11 1/2 in tall and 7 in wide, and is made fantastically painted so as to appear to be sculpted of bronze. |

| Baba Yaga - Wood Finish | |
 |
A figure from Russian folklore, Baba Yaga embodies the Wild Woman. If encountered, this scary crazy old lady will either eat you, put you to work or give you advice. If she gives you advice, the outcome will be better than you could imagine. If she puts you to work, the work will be hard but you will do better than you ever dreamed possible. If she eats you, well, better luck in the next life! In story and song, she is a Russian witch, best known for her dealings with Vasalisa. Around the mortar are images from one of these tales. She rides her mortar, using her pestle as a rudder and sweeps away her tracks with a broom as she travels the night sky. Polyresin cast with wood finish, 7 1/2 in x 8 in x 3 1/2 in. Original was carved from mahogany. |

| Bastet in Cat Form | |
 |
The powerful protector goddess of lower Egypt, Bastet `s, or Bast`s, very name means 'the devourer,' indicating the ferocity for which she was known in defending her own. This small statue offers a representation of her not unlike that which was found in ancient Egypt. Standing 5 3/4 in tall and 3 3/4 in deep, it is the image of a cat sitting on her haunches and decorated in the jewels of Egyptian royalty, and marked with the Eye of Horus. The whole of the cold-cast resin sculpture is also black, with the exception of gold accents that clearly illustrate Bastet`s features. |

| Brass Laxmi on Lotus Statuette | |
 |
This delightfully detailed brass statue portrays the Hindu Goddess much as she is portrayed within the famous painting by Raja Ravi Varma. Two hands are raised up, holding sacred lotus flowers aloft while the other two are extended open, palm up and palm down, forming mudras. Indeed, she is even posed standing atop the open petals of the lotus flower, a powerful symbol of enlightenment and blossoming wisdom.
