Given a lit cone of incense or smoke medicine of choice, the serpent lovers breathe smoke together!
These lovers are perched upon a base that was crafted on the wheel with a couple balls of rich red, stoneware clay. In seven hours, their bodies were sculpted by hand then given small, intricate details to bring them to life.
After slowly drying over the course of a couple weeks, they were fired at a low temperature in the kiln. The lovers were painted in different glazes to make their details shine. The glazes were brought to a bold maturation in a second firing at a higher temperature.
The serpent symbolizes surrender, release, death and rebirth. In order to survive, serpents must routinely shed what keeps them from growing and no longer serves. Serpents are wise teachers, reminding us to continue letting go in order to welcome new. Serpent energy is an empowering, inspiring and comforting ally to lean on in times of transition and uncertainty.
