Yael Nails and Incense Packs (Hoodoo Moses Collab)
Yael Nails and Incense Packs (Hoodoo Moses Collab)
These spikes are perfect as candle scribes and amulets, just as they are as self defense tools.
Each kit is unique and comes with a custom made nail, a handmade leather scabard, a 2 oz jar of handmade incense from Moses and a mini altar candle. All of which have been blessed for use.
The biblical heroine Yael (often rendered "Jael") is arguably the most badass figure in the book of Judges. When the enemy general Sisera reaches her encampment, weary from battle, she seduces him, feeds him milk, puts him to sleep, and hammers a tent spike through his head, killing him.
In the 2nd century "Antiquities of the Jews", we're given a much more detailed description than in the Book of Judges: In it we are told that as Sisera fell asleep, she uttered the prayer the prayer "Strengthen in me today, YHVH, my hand for the sake of your nation and those who put their faith in you."
The incense that Moses composed in her honor combines feminine florals, alluring resins, strong woody notes, and sanctifying herbals to capture and convey Yael's complexity.
The spikes are iron spikes forged on antique equipment that honed and finished before engraving with the words of Yael's prayer.
Moses consecrated them in Yael's name, with her prayer and incense.
