Our Gorgoneion Talisman is a unique statue carved and casted by your local trickster spirits. The original design was hand-carved by us before being casted in genuine natural materials using the same process as most pagan statuary. The design features Medusa in one of her oldest forms, the apotropaic talisman of the Gorgoneion used to protect against ill will and the evil eye. In this form, she has a wide grin displaying tusks and her tongue lolling out above a beard. Her hair and eyebrows curl above her flashing eyes.
She is currently available in the following materials:
Bonded copper carbonate
Bonded charcoal
Bonded alabaster
Ruddy Red This is one of the only statues not made of natural materials. It's made with resin and colored with translucent crimson. Like folk magic practitioners before us, we work with the best materials available for the task at hand: this includes resin. Despite not being a natural material, we work with resin for its alchemical property of transformation. Under its own power, resin transforms itself from a liquid to solid state through heat it produces itself. We view this as an alchemical metamorphosis and prize this material for that purpose.
