Rhiannon Hair-Dagger
Inspired by the Welsh figure Rhiannon. A Celtic deity, best known from the Mabinogion, who parallels the Gaulish Goddess Epona and the Irish Goddess Macha
A walk through the art:
The hilt of the hair sword features a galloping horse under a crescent moon, a nod to Rhiannon's iconic image riding a white steed through the countryside. Horses symbolize her connection to the land, fertility, and the endless cycle of life and death.
Twin crescent moon embellished horseshoes on the handles honor her majestic bond with these creatures and add an extra layer of magic to the design. Hanging horseshoes above doorframes is a Celtic tradition, reinforced by the tale of St. Dunstan tricking the devil, as a ward to keep bad luck out and good fortune in.
Down the curved blade, a murmuration of starlings takes flight, representing collective consciousness, synchronicity, and communication. In Rhiannon's story, these mystical birds play a crucial role in her redemption, symbolizing her connection to the magical and spiritual elements of the natural world.
Materials: Steel and zinc alloy, nickel and lead-free
Dimensions: Approx. 6.5 inches long
Uses: while it is designed to be a hair-stick, hair-sword, or hair-dagger, it can also be used as an athame, altar decor, letter opener, bookmark, decor for a potted plant, a prop for an art doll, or tucked into a belt, thigh garter, or hat band. I'm sure there are even more ways to slay.
