Lady of the Seven Lamps Vessel
The Lady of the Seven Lamps Vessel is a ritual tool designed to call on each of the seven sisters making up the asterism of the Pleiades. This is a tool of summoning and of conjuration, to bring the seven sisters close for the sake of stirring the Dead, performing divination, entering into communion with the stars, or to seek out their teachings.
Greek myth makes of these stars the daughters of Atlas and Pleione, born of the union of He Who Holds the Earth and Daughter of the Ocean. Hermes himself is said to be the son of Maia — nurturer — first of the seven sisters. She is followed by Electra, amber; Taygete, companion of Artemis; Alcyone, kingfisher; Celaeno, the dark one; Sterope, lightning; and Merope, the lost one. Once beautiful nymphs, the sisters eventually took their own lives due to grief, and were immortalized as stars by Zeus.
Each Lady of the Seven Lamps Vessel was spun of blessed red stoneware clay and fired during a Lunar conjunction with the star cluster. Their exterior is left raw and unpolished, with strategic use of glaze to feature the symbol of the Pleiades and to create a surface appropriate for use. Their interior is glazed with a transparent, satin-finished clear glaze with inclusions of milky white, reminiscent of the Milky Way.
Ritual instructions to conjure the spirits of the seven sisters and to enter into communion with them and their sphere are included with each Lady of the Seven Lamps Vessel. Variations are detailed to use the ritual for the sake of divination, of conjuring the Dead, or of receiving dream oracles.
We highly recommend that Fixed Star Alcyone Ritual Oil be added to the bulk of the oil in the burning of this lamp.
