Seeing Through Illusions
This design is an interesting one, I made it with a particular friend in mind who is incredible at seeing through the BS. As I was designing it, I felt very empowered by its symbols. In the center we have the Moon and Necklaces from Beersheba. Which I absolutely love because I feel it implies that you can wear the moon. On the sides there are motifs of my own making, the Coffee Star. Of course we have to have the four eyes staring deep into your soul and past your BS. Finally at the top and bottom is the Heart motif found in all regions of Palestine. These motifs come together to form a powerful image of energy, passion, heart, and an ability to look deeper.
As with all of my patterns, they can be used for whatever you'd like. If you are a crafter and not a witch, that's completely fine! You can stitch this without any spiritual meaning behind it, just an appreciation for both Western cross stitch and Palestinian Tatreez.
If you are witchy and want to do witchy stuff with this, I feel that this is a potent image/sigil for manifesting confidence and power. You can stitch it onto a spell bag, or onto a piece of clothing that makes you feel powerful and beautiful. There are no wrong answers!
As always, all I ask is that you make this piece with some knowledge and solidarity with Palestine. I don't believe that Tatreez is a closed practice, but it is one that demands intention. Every moon, star, tree, and flower motif, reflect an occupied land. Many of these motifs were created by Palestinians finding solace in nature, and envisioning a free land. Palestinian culture is also enduring erasure. I make these patterns to combat that erasure and to spread the knowledge and beauty of Palestine. In addition to this, $4 from every pattern sold will go to UNRWA, a UN organization that supports Palestinians under occupation and those that have become refugees. I hope to be able to donate more in the future, but in order to make this business sustainable, I need to start small.
Thank you for supporting Palestine and a small Palestinian owned business.
