Wild Bone Alchemy
Wild Bone Alchemy offers adornments and altar pieces for sacred practice of earth traditions. All are made from foraged bones and forest found materials, integrated with metalwork, stones, and burning of ancestral symbols. To the end of honoring these creatures and inspiring the adorned to call their own magic back through provoking curiosity of the ultimate alchemy- life and death.
Raised by the Musconetcong River Valley and the forests of northwest New Jersey, I have always been bewitched by the sacrality of nature, rituals of relationship and the divinity of the seemingly mundane and often overlooked. Meddling at the seams of transition and integration (death/rebirth) while holding paradox on both sides, is where dark obscurities alchemize into golden light.
​
My practice is just one effort towards seasonal alignment, circular living, and is in response to the perpetual churning to find balance and understanding.
Bright Blessings,
Reb

![I see you, An Cailleach- guiding us through the shadows that obscure the light.
Maintaining the balance by encouraging the process, the work, the sacrifice- the transformations.
Breathing through it.
The rib cage. The cathedral of the body.
The seat of the soul.
"Fingesten compares the interior of cathedrals to the anatomy of the [human] body (in essence, as symbols of Christ and/or the Virgin Mary). He also compares the exterior of cathedrals to mountains, finding a link between Gothic cathedrals, and the sacred mountain imagery that existed in ancient cultures."
Of course. Cathedrals architectured after and in awe of mountain shrines and the temple body.
Mother Nature.
The Cailleach, Mother of Mountains, Death Doula, Divine Creator and Taker.
Caring for the wilds in the depths of winter...
...showing us the alchemy of grief.
In honor of the Winter Solstice and whatever version you may celebrate- she's here.
