~*~*~Umbra~*~*~
This is Umbra. She is the Queen of the night and shadow, carrying the light of the moon into the darkest places. She is the goddess of alchemy, transformation, and regeneration. As she glides through the night she illuminates all souls and brings the wisdom of the cosmos to all corners of the shadows. A truly powerful totem. Umbra will bring this power to your sacred space, reminding you of your own strength and grace. 
 
Each element of this piece is hand-collected and pressed/preserved by me. This piece contains a a great Owl Butterfly (Caligo spp.). These butterflies come out at dusk and night, and are truly spectacular. This piece also contains red rose petals, eucalyptus leaves, sunflower petals, angel's breath flower, friendship sage, daisy flower and petals, red fern, and orange wildflowers. 
 
This butterfly was gifted by a friend who works at a butterfly sanctuary. This beautiful creature was lovingly collected after passing away naturally, and is now honored and cherished forever. 
 
-Not for outdoor placement, keep indoors to avoid water damage.-
 
Best to keep away from direct sunlight, as the plants will fade over time if placed in a window! The fading of plants is natural and does not take away from their beauty, but rather reminds us of the constant change in life. If you are okay with this, then a window is fine. But keep in mind--the colors will stay forever if kept away from direct strong light.
 
~Each piece that I make is created in an intentional, devotional space. I sit with the plants and create whatever my inner vision directs me to. This is my sacred practice, and it is suffused with magic and love!~
