Washer at the Ford ~ Ritual Candle ~ Banshee ~ Bean Sidhe ~ Bean Nighe ~ Faery Woman ~ Morrigan ~ Phantom Queen ~ Dark Goddess ~

Ghostly, wraith like, and keening in mourning, the Washer at the Ford is a harbinger of death. She could be found near rivers, lakes and streams, washing the clothes and armor of those about to die. The more noble the doomed, the louder she would wail, all while the waters ran ruby with blood and gore.The washer woman is often identified as the goddess Badb. She is intimately connected with water, an element the Celts associated with Otherworldly crossings. Her churning cauldron will one day boil over and destroy the world. The cauldron is also the womb and from it comes rebirth and regeneration.Life is a series of deaths and rebirths. The ever constant ebb and flow through the waters of life often bring destruction and so to, growth and renewal.This ritual candle is light and fresh with notes of Cedar, Citrus, Benzoin, Powder and Sandalwood.Use it for rituals pertaining to change, endings and beginnings. To better understand the changes you face and how to grow spiritually from them.*
