It is Esteban's 10th birthday today and i wanted to create something special for him but really had no idea what to do until i was reminded of the power of egg shapes by this section of a book i am re-reading about structuring water.
Highly recommend checking the book out for yourself here.
Looking online i was able to find some amazing eggs but the price never seemed right.
So i let it go and continued with my garden orientated life...
The following day i planted a tree in an area of the garden i had never before dug into and was surprised to find a huge quantity of clay down there!
Feeling the Universe guiding me i dug out a bucket of clay and looked up how to clean it.
After adding water i was able to clean it using a swimming pool net and then left the slurry to dry a few days in the sun.
After drying a further few days at home the clay was ready to work with and despite having had no experience making these i was able to craft two eggs without much trouble.
Esteban's egg has a Heddeka symbol on it to help charge the water, while Luna's egg features a Tesla coil.
Also worth noting that i added a little powdered basalt into the clay, just to give it that extra kick. Clay is already a paramagnetic material but basalt even more so.
Esteban's egg feels great in my hands.
I put his name and date of creation on the base.
The idea is for them to fill up their eggs with water before bed and drink them in the morning, though it is said that only 2-3h is needed to fully 'charge' the water.
In their current form they will absorb water and would actually make fantastic oyas to bury in the garden (feeding the energised water slowly to the plants, thereby assisting growth), but as my end goal for these is to store water without absorption i must glaze them in a kiln at a temperature of over 1000掳C.
I have been watching a man called Primitive Technology on YT for years and remembered seeing him build a mud kiln here.
So this is what i will do.
Just need to find the right spot in the garden which continues to expand and delight.
I learned this morning that one can make pottery glaze from wood ash, so this entire project will be achieved with zero budget.
Next mission is to make a family sized egg, big enough to charge our daily water.
Something like this one.
As long as i make the kiln big enough this should be easily achievable.
So there you have it!
I have a zillion other things to tell you about but will have to leave it for now as Esteban will wake soon and our day of fun will begin.
Love & Light everyone 馃尡
