The Antlered Goddess, Elen of the Ways - Citrine Crystal Mug

Elen of the Ways Mug with Citrine

Handcrafted Ceramic for Guidance, Abundance & Earth Connection

This radiant mug honours Elen of the Ways – the elusive antlered goddess of ancient Celtic lore, guardian of pathways, leylines, and the wild places in between. With her antlers woven into branches, a crescent moon above her brow, and leafy forest textures encircling her gaze, Elen watches over those who walk the path less travelled.

Set into the handle is a warm, golden piece of citrine, a crystal known as the stone of abundance and vitality. Citrine is said to spark creativity, confidence, and joy – helping you follow your own true way with clarity and courage.

Glazed in vibrant woodland greens, mossy golds, and gentle earth tones, this mug is a guiding companion for seekers, dreamers, and wanderers alike.

The Path of the Antlered One...

In Celtic tradition, Elen of the Ways is the mysterious horned goddess of the trackways – said to guide deer, pilgrims, and spirit-travellers across unseen paths. She is the keeper of the wild woods and the guardian of soul journeys. Often appearing at the edge of vision, Elen invites us to walk with purpose and connection, trusting the land beneath our feet. This mug channels her quiet power. With citrine in hand – a crystal of warmth, will, and abundance – it becomes a vessel for finding your way and walking it boldly.

These items are handmade at every stage in the making process and so each is unique. From creating the form, to hand making each batch of glaze, to hand carving and hand painting the designs, many variances are found at each stage of the process. Each piece is mindfully created in my studio over a number of weeks, with each finished piece having its own subtle differences. That is the beauty of handmade. These photos are a representation of the piece from this collection you will receive.
