[b]Midsummer Feather Wreath

(For Litha)

Materials:

* Craft wire
* Red feathers
* Yellow feathers
* Decorative ivy vines
* Glue gun

Directions:

Form a braided wreath with brown craft wire. Then form another braided wreath that fits inside the first one. Glue yellow feathers to one wreath until the craft wire cannot be seen; do the same with the red feathers on the other wreath. Then place one wreath on top of the other and wind them together with the ivy vines.

Ritual use:

You may wish to leave the wreaths separate until the Litha ritual, at which point you bind the yellow wreath and the red wreath together to symbolize the marriage of the God and Goddess. Since yellow and red are so interchangeable in whom they represent, it is up to you if you want to assign one wreath to the God and one to the Goddess. [b]

Many other good Sabbat crafts as well:

Floral wire Sabbat Tree
You can leave it anywhere in the house.
You can add/take away flowers, leaves, fruit (all bought from the craft store, or even made out of paper), to reflect the seasons,
You can write little notes of intent for yourself and hang on the tree....
I may have already posted this picture, but I cant find where it may be....


Pentacle Wreath
This was my first attempt, so its a bit rough, i havent uploaded any other pics of my more recent ones (Some which I have given away)
I did this one for Beltaine, using Beltaine colours. Floral wire, glue gun, flowers/leaves/vines... and little bird.
You can get VERY creative with these and i am REALLY enjoying making them.
