Let the Strength card keep your keys safe, or set it on your altar and place several items that represent courage and make you feel confident.

The Strength card is as straightforward as the title. It’s time to draw on your inner-strength to find answers and solutions. Once you do this, you’ll realize you had the power within you all along. When meditating on this card you’re likely to be surprised at your own capabilities. If you’ve been looking for external validation lately, this is a sign to instead look inward. Courage doesn’t exist separate from anxiety, bravery means feeling the fear and doing it anyway. It’s time to take the leap where you’ve been afraid of falling and soar with the power of wings you built yourself. Do not take your own fortitude and resilience for granted, everything you’ve overcome so far has made you strong enough to fight your next battle. Your patience and compassion are about to pay off if you simply believe in your own power!

The pots are thrown by hand on the wheel. The bases are trimmed.

Once the pots are bone dry are fired in the kiln to 1000 degrees (the bisque fire) which dries and strengthens them sufficiently for glazing. They are dip glazed before I fire them again to 2233 degrees.
