Ceremonial Badam Sculpture

This piece examines ceremonial regalia and ritual tools, specifically a ritual dagger. The Sikhs have the kirpa, Wiccans, Thelemites and Satanists have the athame, The Javanese have the kris and Tibetans the Phurba. The symbolism of the dagger varies in the context of various religions, some for sacrifice, some for protection and some for male principle representation. My piece embodies a few aspects of traditional associations plus a bit more. Ceremonial Badam represents both male and female principles, the badam pod, a womb-like structure containing a quartz crystal, a crystal used for purification and protection in pagan belief systems. The wooden blade is the male aspect also representing the botanical, a symbol of abundance. The jute is a symbol of tying it all together while the beeswax represents the animal kingdom. All together, the piece is a ritual symbol of earth and all of its wonders.
