THE STROPHOLOS / IYNX WHEEL - Carved in Solid Oak (Hekate Spinning Wheel)

A WHIRLING STROPHOLOS / IYNX WHEEL carved in solid oak, with oak handles.

A new, redesigned version of my whirling Stropholos / Iynx wheel, as used in devotional and meditational rites to Hekate. The design is based upon the examples shown by Jack Grayle in his wonderful The Hekataeon. I redrew the design and he has kindly allowed me to add this to my catalogue of work after making a few private commissions of this design. (Thanks Jack!). I present two version of this theurgist's tool -- one with "Hekate" in traditional Greek text, the other rendered in English. I can also carve a double sided version, should you so wish.

The central disc is solid oak, 10cm in diameter, carved and waxed. The handles are 12cm by 3 and are tactile in use. The disc is spun in one direction to coil the string and then pulled to spin the disc, which then coils in the other direction to create an (almost) perpetual motion and a handy tool in ritual work. This Stropholos is supplied with a macrame cotton which spins fantastically but you can alter accordingly. It's well worth experimenting with to find out what works best for you.
