Venus
Venus was inspired by neolithic stone carvings of Goddess images that have been found all over Europe. She represents the voluptuous beauty and fertility of both the land and her people. The snake coiling at her base is called an "Uroboros," and symbolizes the never-ending cycle of life, death, and regeneration.

Artist's Note:
I carved this statue out of a little piece of clear alabaster after studying the old Paleolithic goddess statues
and wanted to make one for myself. This may sound strange but what I most wanted was to have a Venus statue I could touch.
To me, there is something about rubbing my thumbs over her belly and along her hips that feels like a kind of worship.
Over the years I've heard that this statue has been used in all kinds of abundance spells.
Iåve also heard several stories about women becoming pregnant even after doctors told them it was unlikely.
I've also heard stories and I confess participated in a few that involved giving the Venus to women who were not trying to get pregnant
and then they did conceive soon after receiving the statue. Perhaps the statue should come with a warning label on it: ñWarning!
May cause extreme fertility and sudden pregnancy, especially in women!î --PB
