141BG Brigid
Polyresin cast with stone or wood finish. Measures 10 3/8" x 8 1/2" x 5 1/2"
Original carved from mahogany Brigid, one of the most popular Celtic Goddesses is a vast deity and can assist her devotees with nearly any endeavor. She is depicted here as the three sisters or three of the many aspects of this Goddess: Midwife — healer/nurturer/herbalist, Blacksmith - keeper of fire/craftswoman/transformer and Poetess — bringer of wisdom/guidance/prophecy. The three who-are-one stand on a crescent-shaped base. Symbols of her worship are hidden throughout the piece — BrigidÍs cross; the flaming arrow; Brigid's bed; the bush near her sacred wells, which are tied with prayers and wishes on scraps of cloth, to mention a few. Many of the names she is known by encompass the base, even one written in ogham. An unique piece of art by Paul Borda. Please allow for slight color variations as each piece is unique. |

Wood finish. Measures 10" in height, 7" in width and 4" in thickness.
The Lunar Goddess sits on her throne which is graced with the phases of the moon. She is crowned with the horned crescent. In her lap she cradles a scrying bowl representing receptivity, intuition and the magical womb of transformation.
On her right side a rabbit looks on, her emblem of life, fertility, and new beginnings. On her left the crow cries out as her messenger, symbolic of the waning years of life and the ultimate passing from this life into the next. The back of her throne depicts the Goddess in her three aspects as Maid, Mother and Crone. An original design by Paul Borda. Cast in polyresin.

116GDW Seated God
Wood finish. Measures 3" in width, 8" in height and 3" in thickness.
The Forest God sits noble and strong, upon his dais. Within the crown of his antlered brow burns the spiritual fire of transformation, initiation and creative force. Ram headed snakes interlace themselves within the pentacle below him.
The lord's throne is supported on his right by the bull- representative of power, strength and virility. On his left is the mythic stag- an emblem of wildness, sovereignty, and the bountiful forest. His aspect as "Lord of the Dance" is displayed on the back. This dance was performed to bring fertility to the crops and to his people. An original design by Paul Borda. Cast in polyresin.

125GSCW Goddess Candle Holder
Wood finish. Measures 4 3/8" in width, 8" in height and 4 3/8" in thickness.
The Triple Goddess is beautifully depicted, representing three phases of a woman's life. The Maiden emerges gently, like the Spring, with the waxing crescent on her brow full of promise, youth, and vitality. Graced by the full moon, the Mother stands proud and enraptured. At the height of pregnancy, she is strong, fecund, and as abounding as Summer. The wisened Crone bends below the waning crescent. Her staff serves as an affirmation of her authority as an elder rather than a sign of frailty. Her eyes twinkle with understanding and mischief. She is the brilliance of the Fall leaves before we pass into the dark of the year. An original design by Paul Borda. Cast in polyresin. Please allow for slight color variations as each piece is unique. |

126GDCW God Candle Holder
Wood finish. Measures 4 3/8" in width, 8" in height and 4 3/8" in thickness.
The two faces of the God stand back-to-back representing duality. The Leaf King, or Leaf Man, reigns Spring to Fall as the God of plenty and fruitful harvest. He is boisterous and loud, full of life, song, stories, and jokes. Carefree and thrilled to be alive, life arises wherever his staff touches. The Stag King, or Antlered God, along with his devoted hound, rules in the dark of the year and leads the wild hunt. His horns connect him with the animals who give sustenance in winter. The torc on his arm is a mystical symbol of authority. The Ram's headed serpent represents his seasonal office, possibly, Scorpio to Aries, his astrological reign. An original design by Paul Borda. Cast in polyresin. Please allow for slight color variations as each piece is unique.
