The chalice has long been a staple of many religious practices. Most of the world's many religions use a chalice of one type or another as a necessary tool to conducting rituals. Different chalices have gone down in history as priceless holy objects, such as the Holy Grail, or the Great Chalice of Antioch.



The Wiccan chalice serves as a representation of the feminine energies, and holds the Element of Water. The chalice serves to remind us of the Goddess during the Great Rite, as the athame represents the God. In rituals that do not involve a Great Rite, the chalice is often passed around the circle, containing wine, water, or some other liquid to be ritualistically sipped, the remainder generally being spilled onto the ground as an offering to the Gods.

As the Wiccan Chalice is a pure representation of the Divine Feminine, the type of chalice that you choose for your rituals should be in accordance with your perception of what would most suit the Goddess as you know Her. For example, if you feel that your Chalice must be made of silver because, to you, the Goddess is best attuned to silver, then by all means, purchase a silver chalice.

Wiccan Chalices come in may variations, are made of many materials, and are embossed or engraved with many different symbols. One who follows an Earth Goddess as one's Matron Deity, you might choose a green or a smoky agate chalice, or even a wooden chalice One who is better attuned to Water, might choose a blue pottery or stoneware chalice. Or, you might choose a chalice based solely on your own favorite color, or what color you are best attuned to.

You can also use different chalices for different workings. For example, for a Dark Moon working, you could use a black chalice. For waxing or full moon, you could use a Triple Moon chalice. For weddings, you could use Triquetra chalice.

You can even get plain chalices. For example, an inexpensive plane brass chalice is versatile and useful for many different rituals and events.

The gamut of Wiccan Chalices goes from a paper cup, if it's meaningful for you, to solid gold jewel encrusted ones. Whichever one appeals to your sense of aesthetics, or what you feel is appropriate for your workings, is the chalice that is right for you.

Patchwork Merchant Mercenaries had its humble beginnings as an idea of a few artisans and craftsmen who enjoy performing with live steel fighting. As well as a patchwork quilt tent canvas. Most had prior military experience hence the name.

 

Patchwork Merchant Mercenaries.

 

Vendertainers that brought many things to a show and are know for helping out where ever they can.

As well as being a place where the older hand made items could be found made by them and enjoyed by all.

We expanded over the years to become well known at what we do. Now we represent over 100 artisans and craftsman that are well known in their venues and some just starting out. Some of their works have been premiered in TV, stage and movies on a regular basis.

Specializing in Medieval, Goth , Stage Film, BDFSM and Practitioner.

Patchwork Merchant Mercenaries a Dept of, Ask For IT was started by artists and former military veterans, and sword fighters, representing over 100 artisans, one who made his living traveling from fair to festival vending medieval wares. The majority of his customers are re-enactors, SCAdians and the like, looking to build their kit with period clothing, feast gear, adornments, etc.

Likewise, it is typical for these history-lovers to peruse the tent (aka mobile store front) and, upon finding something that pleases the eye, ask "Is this period?"

A deceitful query!! This is not a yes or no question. One must have a damn good understanding of European history (at least) from the fall of Rome to the mid-1600's to properly answer. Taking into account, also, the culture in which the querent is dressed is vitally important. You see, though it may be well within medieval period, it would be strange to see a Viking wearing a Caftan...or is it?

After a festival's time of answering weighty questions such as these, I'd sleep like a log! Only a mad man could possibly remember the place and time for each piece of kitchen ware, weaponry, cloth, and chain within a span of 1,000 years!! Surely there must be an easier way, a place where he could post all this knowledge...

Traveling Within The World is meant to be such a place. A place for all of these artists to keep in touch and directly interact with their fellow geeks and re-enactment hobbyists, their clientele.
