Virgo Full Moon Lantern Cup – Illuminating the Inner Light
Inspired by the Hermit card in tarot, this double-walled lantern cup embodies the essence of Virgo energy—introspection, wisdom, and the quiet strength found in solitude. Holding just over 8 oz, this piece is designed to symbolize the light within that guides us forward.
The inner vessel, crafted from a lighter clay body, represents this inner illumination, while the outer layer serves as the protective shell, much like the Hermit’s cloak. A reactive glaze interacts uniquely with both light and dark clay, mimicking the soft glow of a lantern flickering in the night. Some variations include an additional layer of light glaze on the inner vessel, further amplifying the contrast and deepening the visual metaphor of light shining through darkness.
As the Virgo full moon invites us to turn inward, this cup serves as a reminder to trust our wisdom, embrace solitude when needed, and recognize that the answers we seek are already within us. The double-walled construction protects your hands from heat, making it perfect for moments of quiet reflection over a warm drink.
Microwave and dishwasher safe, though hand washing is recommended to preserve the glaze’s unique reaction. Let this lantern cup be your companion in seeking clarity, embracing self-discovery, and honoring the steady glow of your own inner knowing.
