Handcrafted Aramaic Incantation Bowl, feat Lilith
Aramaic Incantations Bowls were an ancient magical technology for warding off the power of demons, especially Lilith, and malevolent sorcery. Numberings in the thousands, these bowls represent a now lost anti-demonic magical tradition. Esoterica has resurrected this practice in the form of a beautiful objet d'art: a hand-made, contemporary bowl featuring a traditional Lilith image and Aramaic inscription composed by Justin Sledge all based on historical examples.
Each bowl is hand-made, approximately 6 to 9 inches in width and 3 to 5 in height, unique and thus will vary slightly from the photos. Every bowl will include a copy of the Aramaic Incantation with English translation.
You can find the Aramaic Incantation here along with an English translation with this link.
From the Artist: The clay used is locally sourced buff stoneware and thrown on a kick wheel and allowed to dry two weeks before initial kiln firing to 1969°F. Surface design is hand scripted incantation in Aramaic square text utilizing traditional brush and nib techniques with an ink mixture of red and black iron oxides. A second open pit firing to 1800 allows for each piece to to be pulled for fuming and placed placed in masses of combustible material (e.g., straw, sawdust) to provide a atmosphere for the flames to mark the exposed body surface with carbon.
Each piece is unique, with natural variations in surface such as dark spots or coloring which are a signature of the gas and wood kiln process. The finished vessel is slightly porous and not intended for liquids or food.
Care: Ceramics is fragile, but with proper handling will last millennia. For extra protection, a cork mat or similar pad is recommend between the vessel and display surface.
