Our gathering to bless a 3D printed copy of our Crom stone head. It is hollow and we each put a charge or blessings or positive vibes etc into multiple quartz rocks that were put inside the head. Hot beeswax was added (John and Frank) and we blessed more quartz rocks until it was full. This Crom was made for this time.
The 'fully dressed' version of our 3D printed head. A non-invasive scan was created to print a 100% replica of our real ancient Crom. Then we dressed it after studying the shadows of stone Crom when I identified his eyebrows, third eye and exact number of teeth and complete lack of ears. Two quartz eggs from the Tuath Dé Danann Four Treasures altar were selected and each had a black dot 'pupil' added - these eyes were then attached by warm beeswax to the eye sockets. A suede mushroom cap was crafted and fitted to complete the look.
Before we were gifted with the Crom stone head which is an actual ancient pre catholic era stone head I had spotted a rock with a smile on the Belmullet peninsula while on a day out breathing the fresh sea air from the Atlantis Ocean. The smile was just a thin crack in the pointy end but it inspired me... and it is untouched, ie the same as when I found it. There was a balance / symmetry in this seaside rock and I easily imagined the eyes, eyebrows and the nose too. One hour of bang bang chipping with a hammer and sharpened chisel gave the result you can see now.
We have three Crom Heads now, all kept in the Hemp Hall! The spring equinox for Ireland is called Earrach and we celebrate it on the 17th of March as we honour Crom. At true mid-night 00:33 on the Spring day of equal half's we do not get 12 hours of Sun, we get 11 hours: 58 minutes: 52 seconds of Sun, the previous day we got 11:54:37 and the day after we will get 12:03:07 - this shows when we celebrate Earrach. Think of it, this is what our Ancestors saw - the Dragon from the Realm of Sea, flying in the Realm of Sky while blessing the Realm of Land! Crom Abú
