Wands Of Protection - Anytime Access ONLINE Art Class

$119.00

Recently I was commissioned to create a wand of protection for a friend.  I should mention that this person had a physical ailment that traditional medical methods proved futile.  She ended up using byproduct of honey, which almost magically, cured her condition.  As a gesture of thanks to the bees (whom she saw as her saving force) she decided to take up beekeeping to honor her insect friends.  The problem was, however, that she was deathly allergic to these little pollinating pals.  So the wand of protection she asked me to create, was to protect her from bee stings when she when on her apiarian expeditions.  Of course, this creation is strictly metaphoric and was not intended to be a giant EpiPen.  Rather it is a psychological symbol that helped her to overcome her fears, a symbolic shield, that would help her nurture the bees that nurtured her. 

We all have mental monsters to defeat, so it seemed to me that everyone might needs a magical wand of protection now and again; something to give us a little psychological boost when we need it the most.  So in this Art class, using objects and symbols important individual, participants are going to create magical wand to help them make those troubles disappear.  This will be done incorporating a combination of painting, sculpture and assemblage.  

BUT THAT’S NOT ALL…you will also have time to create a case, stand or shrine for Wand of Protection.

And with a wave of your wand your troubles will vanish…fingers crossed.  Abracadabra!
