Pentagram Chalice 4.5" This delicate chalice provides an elegant solution to those who need such a tool for their altar but simply do not have much space to store it. It stands at a height of only 4 1/2" tall and its base has a footprint of only 1 3/4" in diameter.
This small size does not take away from its elegant craftsmanship however.its silver-plated cup offers the engraved image of an interwoven pentagram on both its front and back, while the 2 1/2" stem offers a gold tone, and flares out at the base of a cup presenting a design that almost resembles the petals of a flower.
With such decorative flourishes, this is certainly a fine piece for any altar. _ _ _ The Element of Water is represented through the use of the Chalice, which is a ceremonial drinking vessel. The Chalice is used to take drinks during rituals and at the culmination of ritual work. In some paths it is also used to toast the Gods. This tool also represents the universal feminine or the womb, especially when combined with the Athamé during the symbolic Great Rite. However, in Asatru the chalice is used as a drinking horn for holding sacred mead. Chalices are used for: * Mixing salt and water * Mixing potions * Invoking the power of the Moon * Conjuring emotions * Presenting offerings and pouring libations * Drinking ritual wine * Create bonds between coven members * Proposing toasts
