    A favorite weapon of assassins, The Dagger is a double-edged blade with a sharp point designed for stabbing.It is used in witchcraft as a magical instrument of invocation and the focusing of will, as well as for the cutting of ties and the piercing of enemies at a distance.

    The design for this piece comes from “The Seer’s Amulets” series of drawings by Poison Apple Printshop. This dagger was hand forged out of sterling silver, etched on both sides, and hand finished with an antiquing patina.

     The Siege Pendant amplifies your own defenses with two intersecting longswords. In the Tarot, the Two of Swords can represent making peace and seeking justice. The two swords also represent the crossroads, and because of this symbolize protection from negative influences coming from the four directions.

    Arming yourself with the  talisman of the crossing longswords, you will cut through all of the challenges which come your way. Handmade in solid sterling silver with a 24″ sterling silver chain,this pendant is etched on both sides and hand-finished with an antiquing patina, to bring out the beauty of this highly-detailed etch.

    The Longsword design is from the “The Tarot Suits” illustration by Poison Apple Printshop.

    The Three of Swords Cuff is inspired by a controversial card in the Tarot pack.

    The 3 of Swords can be a grim omen of pain, sorrow, and interference; yet it can also appear as a warning of an upcoming challenge. With the knowledge of these possibilities, one may avert the misfortune through foreknowledge, or at very least mitigate its potential effects.

    This symbol used as a mystical weapon can make its wielder deadly to their enemies. By donning this cuff, one may become empowered to mercilessly conquer adversity.

    The design for this piece comes from “The Seer’s Amulets” series of drawings by Poison Apple Printshop. With hand etched daggers fabricated from solid gold-tone brass, this cuff is adjustable within a range.

Everything is hand made by Adrienne in her workshop, one piece at a time.

    Kayla Garland knew from a young age that she wanted to be a fashion designer. She started SOVRIN in 2012 as a way to make the clothes which she wanted to wear but could not find anywhere else. Her work is known for soft black fabrics and darkly lovely prints inspired by sacred geometry and the anatomy of flora and fauna, all ethically and
    sustainably made.

    A primary inspiration for Kayla is anatomy. She has long held an interest in skulls and bones, and is gradually accumulating a collection over time. Additionally,  the shadow side of life and nature mysticism also are sources of inspiration for Sovrin. The creative process is unpredictable, however, and spontaneity is also an important element.

    The sorcerous trident is a mythical tool of the rulers of the seas. Used by King Neptune to direct the elemental forces of water, the trident is also wielded by the hindu god Shiva, lord of witches, yogis and goblins. Interestingly, we sometimes find infernal spirits depicted carrying the triple-pronged pitchfork as well. The Mariana Cuff can be used to harness powerful emotions, thoughts, and desires, channeling them toward the target of your choice. It confers to its bearer the steadfast strength of water, bringing balance and harmony to your life.

     

    Hand fabricated in solid gold-tone bronze, this adjustable brass cuff was finished with an antiquing patina and polished to shine.
