A time-honored method of communicating with the spirits of the dead and a powerful tool of divination; the talking board has been reinvented within this set with the potent imagery of the Tree of Life. The board is a solid piece; sculpted from cold cast resin so as to rise 1 1/2 from where you set it; with embossed letters; yes or no answers; and more; all arranged to help the other worlds clearly answer the questions you pose. All of this surrounds a the Celtic Tree of Life; whose tall branches and deep roots are viewed as a symbol and bridge of the connection between heaven and earth. Extending from its branches; tangled vines run out to form an elaborate border of interwoven Celtic knots. Set within this design; four pillars rise up 3/4 to support a circular glass plate upon which your pointer can slide; with the pointer itself taking the form of an elaborately drawn pentagram; overlapping the tree of life. Rich in spiritual symbolism and tradition; this piece is a must have for occultists; collectors; and anyone who would use its powers for divination and magick. The whole thing measures approximately 13 1/4 in diameter.,New,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,http://imagehost.vendio.com/a/35123588/amzn/RO077.jpg,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,Talking Boards,,,,,,,,,, RP018P,Silver-Plated Pentagram Charging Plate,,,,1000,,,20.95,This silver plated plate is traditionally a surface used to empower crystals and other ritual tools upon your altar.
