The Witch's Hand

By Open Sea. Borrowing from Johann Isaac Hollandus' "Die Hand der Philosophen," The Witch's Hand is Open Sea's version, imagining the tools needed to unlock the wisdom of witchcraft: all at the palm of the Witch's Hand. At the very bottom we have a small trace of pomegranate seeds, connecting the underworld to the material world. Leaves and roots ground the hand firmly on the earth, while a coiled snake allows The Witch to journey into the heavens and connect to the moon. A key represents the unlocking on ancient wisdom. The candle is not just representative of elemental fire, but light itself. A single Datura flower connects The Witch to the magic and medicine of plants, often powerful aides when exploring spiritual and psychic realms. And finally, the seashell represents elemental water. 12" x 16" Printed in New Jersey.
