SERPENT & BOW x LA ABEJA HERBS
To ring in this most auspicious New Year we've come together with our friends at Serpent & Bow to dream up something which we hope will be a gift to you in the coming journey around the Sun. Combining our respective traditions of plant wisdom and alchemy, we've dreamt up a collection of talismans to personify the three archetypes which serve as both muse and aspiration -- The Artist, The Traveler, and Venus. Each talisman is unique unto itself, filled with petals, leaves, roots, gemstones, and other ephemera gathered with great care. Plant dyes of Indigo, Marigold, and Cochineal offer the natural fiber fabric its brilliant hue and the careful work of hand-sewing and embellishing the talismans was a meditation unto itself. And so with these treasures in tow, we wish you untold wonder in the New Year to come.

The Traveler
Nothing behind me, everything ahead of me, as is ever so on the road.
- J. Kerouac
One who seeks beyond the Self will find only that which already lies within their own Being, whether dormant or awoken. Kept close at hand, this Talisman will guide both the inner and outer journeys as they unfold in tandem. This charm, worn & treasured, will bring true protection, subtle clarity, and the comfort of guidance to the wanderer who knows that each journey changes its hero irrevocably & that no step taken can ever be taken back--not that you'd venture trade it anyhow.

The Artist
For those who create, and must--feverishly so.
For those who create, and must--feverishly so.
Bringer of dreams to the realm of the Real, it is the artist who is dreaming to life our reality, awake and alive. This talisman is for you, who dances in the world between worlds, the place where all is made of sound and light; light and sound. A charm so carefully hewn to invoke and exalt all of the ephemeral visions, some stalked, captured, woven into worlds, others lost to the breeze in a moment, fleeting; some which themselves, stalk you--in waking and in sleep. For the true Artist knows, that beauty is no one's to possess but that we are only its guests, for as long as it wishes to entertain us. May all the beauty which seeks to find voice through your life, fill you with the grace and the means, necessary to sing of its Spirit to the world.

Deeply seeing, deeply knowing, deeply trusting -- all that is within her.
A talisman to invoke the fecundity of the subconscious, the silvery wordless wisdom of the Moon, the visionary essence of all that is feminine. Worn close over the heart or placed upon the womb, this talisman will draw you ever inward, toward the the timeless feminine wisdom which exists within your body--a holographic world, complete unto itself.
