Avon Silver Fawn Charisma Cologne Bottle In Orginal Box by SentimentalWhimsy via etsy
Etsy has these cute little perfume bottles of animals. Stylistically they aren’t my thing, something I would buy to display on a shelf because generally speaking they are a bit tacky (in my opinion). I tend to combine ideas into new ones and have been thinking on a spiritual level lately and thought I could use these cute animal bottles in my rituals/meditative work for the sabbats. I’m currently looking at an owl bottle for Candlemas/Imbolc in February. I’d wrap up the ritual supplies I used in the bottle and carry it around with me.
