Thistle & Crow

Thistle & Crow Spells, jewelry, poetry, embroidery, and more creations, handmade in Rhode Island by Loren Walker. Thistle & Crow: where Namaste meets Necronomicon! Why Thistle?

While I've been mostly focused on my poetry and novels for the past ten years, on the side, I started doing more work with my hands and away from my computer keyboard: embroidery, painting, making jewelry, candles, and more, inspired to work with materials and aesthetics that I tend to have a hard time finding elsewhere. For example, I love copper, but quickly realized that finding jewelry that us

es it (and that I think is appealing) is pretty hard! So I started to make my own. Over the past year, I've accumulated such a volume of things that I realized I wanted to develop a separate entity from my poet/author life, and thus launched Thistle & Crow in 2023! Beloved by Scottish and Celtic people, and one of my all-favorites, the Scottish thistle has some amazing significance. Despite the soft flowers, the bulk of this plant is covered in extremely sharp thorns, and it stopped a surprise invasion in the mid-13th century by the soldiers of the Norse king, Haakon. The story has it that after coming ashore, this Viking force planned to creep up on the Scottish Clansmen and Highlanders and overcome them while they slept. This amount of stealth required that they go barefoot, but one soldier cried out in pain when he stepped on a Scottish thistle, enough to wake the Scots. Today, thistles symbolize endurance, grit, courage, and fierce loyalty. Why Crow? I've been drawn to crows for years, only recently learning about their vast historical and spiritual presence. In modern Western culture, crows symbolize death, the afterlife, wisdom, intelligence, adaptability, prescience, fortune, destiny, transformation, and the future.

Sometimes new living spaces come with bad vibes, negative energy, or just a strange feeling you can't quite place. Clear out the old and welcome the good in your new home with this custom-created kit from Thistle & Crow - also makes for a great housewarming gift!

The New Home Cleansing Kit comes in a 6x6x2 midnight blue gift box. Inside, you'll find natural shredded paper alongside springs of dried lavender and the kit contents themselves:

Pink Himalayan Salt: Known to absorb negative energy, sprinkle in corners (you can sweep up later when things feel settled!)

Selenite Crystals: Place on all available windowsills to absorb negative energy and raise positive vibrations.

Cleansing Candle: Infused with orange oil, hyssop, passionflower, milk thistle, lavender, and elderberries. Light in the center of the space and let it burn for at least 5 minutes to encourage both cleansing and blessings.

Brass Bell: Walk the perimeter of the room and ring in each corner. The vibrations from the candle and the bell will send any residual negative energy into the selenite and salt.

Thurisaz Runes: Inscribed with the ancient defensive symbol of Thurisaz, place the runes in the corners along with the salt.

Yellow Jade is one of the popular healing stones. The brilliant yellow hue of jade is a sight to behold, and its healing energies are equally awe-inspiring. Known for its metaphysical properties that can bring positive energy into your life, the power of yellow should not be underestimated. This stone has long been utilized in chakra-balancing practices to promote feelings of stability, clarity, and relaxation.

Measuring 1.5 inches, the bronze charm of Guanyin, Bodhisattva of Compassion, will not rust or tarnish easily. Call on her by uttering her mantra to feel her compassionate spirit: Om Mane Padme Hum.
