Inspired by one of the first collections I released, my Lily Dale series, this third iteration of 'The Medium' features a disembodied, elegant hand emerging from a ruffled sleeve and holding a Labradorite tear.
Lily Dale is the largest community of spiritualist mediums, located in Upstate NY on the edge of Lake Cassadaga. I first visited there in the summer of 2010 as a seeker, a trip that would cement my interest in Victorian Spiritualism, and how it has thrived in the shadows of modern society. Séances were popularized during the Victorian era, however spirit communication has existed for many hundreds of years prior, perhaps since the first humans. One method of spirit communication ( & perhaps the most visibly recognizable ) consisted of a group of people who encircled a table with a Medium present, in candle lit darkness, to communicate with the spirit world. Our need to be close to our beloved dead has never waned, with the role of the Medium always needing to be filled.

Labradorite:
Labradorite is known for its healing properties, in particular for its ability to relieve anxiety & melancholy. It is also said to be used to dispel negativity & fear, acting as a kind of psychic armor to protect against more troubling & turbulent emotions. As a 'sister' to moonstone, Labradorite is often associated with the more "darker" aspects of the Goddess, in her Crone form, full of the experience & wisdom of life and death, associated with the darker moon: waning through new moon phases.
It is also a stone of transformation, and is said to help those with intuitive gifts to awaken and realize their full potential as well as helping enhance creative talents. It also ranks as one of the most protective stones, shielding its wearer from negativity. Much like its 'sister' Moonstone, Labradorite has been used and worn in many cultures and tribes for both its incredible natural beauty, and for its potent magical properties.
This jewel is hand cut and therefore may have small signs of the carver's hands along the edges. It has not been fabricated by a machine rather it hand cut and therefore might not be uniformly perfect. The photographs accurately portray the quality of the stone and the cut.
