MOLD 011

Symbol: 1) bogovnik (the upper symbol on the mold) - from Russian word bog, god, this symbol represents the protection by Light Gods to the man or woman on his or her way to spiritual perfection. When pressed on a cookie, this symbol (rather, its mirror reflection) becomes another powerful symbol - rodovik (from the Russian rod - kin; Rod is also the god of kin, it was represented with erect statues - thence the word "rod" in English!), signifying the force of God the Creator and his support to people working for the benefit of their kins and their descendants. 2) odolen' trava (the second symbol on the mold) protects from diseases, while its imprint, tsvetok paporotnika possesses exceptional curative powers.

Wood: sassafras (Sassafras albidum). Sassafras, a tree in the Laurel family, has extremely fragrant wood. This mold has a lasting exquisite smell of wintergreen and natural beeswax. The mold is traditionally treated: held over live fire (to slightly tan & burn the surface of the mold to highlight the beautiful symbolic pattern and natural beauty of sassafras wood), permeated with 100% natural beeswax (to seal wood's pores and make it waterproof and durable), and covered with 100% organic food grade linseed oil (to add a glossy shiny look).

Dimensions: 5 x 1 8 3/8 x in (12,3 x 21,3 x 2,4 cm).
