Nuru Bombwe has come to Taldish Castle all the way from Kenya. Nuru is our sculptor. He's a quiet
fellow and very focused when he is working. When the chips are flying everyone stays out of his way.
He sometimes works for days without food or sleep. When he finishes a new sculpture everyone
comes to see it. Then Nuru takes a rest and wanders the halls telling funny stories until he undertakes
the next project. In Nuru's studio you can find a fine collection of statuary and he is happy to have you
as his guest. Watch out for his coffee, it's VERY strong.
Werewolf
We take werewolves seriously at Taldish Castle. It could
be because Lord Taldish is himself a werewolf.
Werewolves are not really like they are depicted in the
movies and horror stories. Real werewolves are not
affected by the moon. When Lord Taldish is shapeshifting
it is kind of scary but we all know he won't hurt anyone.
When in the werewolf form, Lord T. says he feels very
close to the Goddess. This statue is cast from cold resin
and stands 7 1/2" high. It can hold a tea light in the base
or you can place offerings there.
Upon seeing this statue for the first time Lord Taldish said,
"Wow! This captures exactly how it feels."

Bastet Statue
Bastet Statue
Appearing in many guises but always some form of
cat, this goddess's name probably means "She of the
Ointment Jar". Thus associating her with protective
ointments. But her powers and abilities do not end in
a jar of ointment. For one thing, she was the protector
of all Lower Egypt and the Pharaoh.
Today this goddess has gained renewed popularity
among witches. We all know the psychic and magical
powers of cats (a common familiar). thus Bastet is
given honor as a way to honor all of the helper cats in
our lives.

Greenman Celtic Cross
A solid depiction of the Greenman in all of his
natural, leafy glory. For many the Greenman
represents the wild, male aspect of divinity. The
counter point and balance to the Goddess.
According to the ancients the goddess is embodied
in the earth as a result of a cosmic error. To help
her the gods in the center of our galaxy sent a god
to balance life on earth so it would follow its
correct evolutionary path. The greenman represents
the imprint of this male god's touch on the
biosphere. Honor him and his love for the Goddess
by placing his image in your dwelling.
approximately 17" long and 14" wide.

Thor Statue
A Norse god! This guy sure looks tough. If nothing
else he should inspire us to find our own strengths,
to stand with integrity and firmness for the things we
believe in. To be proud Pagans!! Embrace your
male strength and fight for the Goddess. She needs
all the help we can give her. It is time to bring the
hammer down on all the corporate greed that is
raping and fouling Her body. Be strong, be tough
but always do it for the love of our Goddess.
Made of cold cast resin, this weighty piece is hand
painted so as to appear bronze, and measures one
foot tall.

Gargoyle Statue
The word "gargoyle" comes from the
French word for throat: "gargouille". this
is the same root for the word, "gargle".
And why would these creatures be
linked to "throat"? Because when they
were placed on buildings in the past
they often formed the spouts for gutters
and the water would flow out of their
mouths. Besides function they served
several symbolic uses as well. The most
important of these is guardians against
evil spirits.
Frankly, I would not mind having this
guy watch my back!
Made of cold cast resin and full of detail.
He measures just over 6 inches tall and
6 inches wide.
