This is another small sample of some of the concrete ornaments we make. A lot of these statues still needed to be finished, seems cleaned up and ...

I think that my garden statues move at night when I'm sleeping. I have a frog, a chicken, a gnome, and a birdbath. This morning I woke up to the sight of the gnome chocking the chicken. In the past, the frog has been swimming in the birdbath. And about 3 nights ago a new statue showed up- a little fairy. She was watching the gnome choke the chicken! What should I do?? I am afraid they will hurt me.

I first heard this theory as it relates to childrens toys, when I was a small child. My evil sister told me that my stuffed animals were alive and would dance and sing at night but resume their former positions as soon as I woke up. It was a nice story, until she began beating my toys and cackling about their pain.
In regards to your question, it is entirely possible that your garden statuary do move at night when you're sleeping. It would be ignorant to entirely rule out this possibility. If your statuary have not made any threats or movements against you, ignore them, be polite but bar your doors thoroughly at night. If at any time they threaten you, tie them up in the middle of the afternoon, put them in a box and send them to the white house, or to any other far distant location with a high concentration of your enemies. If you do not wish harm on others, ship them to a remote and distant unpopulated island. Never visit there. Do not put a return address on the box, and wear rubber gloves when you do it.

I'm looking for the garden supply shop/statuary just off Highway 44 in Stanton, MO. It's either on the road (Hwy. W/Y ?) leading to Meramec Caverns or it's on the outer service road near the Toy Museum. I tried an on-line search and found other garden supply places in the area but the one near I-44 and Stanton exit is what I'm specifically looking for.

Thanks for any help.

I am looking for representations of Gods/Goddesses to include around my home. I do not want to spend loads on these, as buying from metaphysical shops would cause me to do. I have looked into plaster crafts, but haven't found one that provides their wares to the general public. Also I've considered garden ornaments, however I haven't found anything. I appreciate any and all feedback. Thanks.

This is a tough question, I'm afraid. It's pretty easy to find decent pagan altar statuary these days, but you can probably expect to pay at least $60 to $100 for a good pair of god and goddess statues. If you can afford it, it's well worth it, as they will enrich your spiritual life for many years.

If you can't afford it, then you might try the following:

1. Ebay sometimes has people selling pagan statues, but you would need to check regularly to find the ones you want or like.

2. Do you really need statues? How about printing out some images from your computer, and then either mounting them on wood with decoupage, or else get them sealed in clear plastic coating at a copy store.

3. You might find other statues fairly cheap, and modify them. It's pretty easy to find various Greek and Roman goddess statues at thrift stores or antique swap meets. You could add a moon crown with Fimo or Sculpey clay, which dries in your oven. It's harder to find statues of the Horned God, but you could get a statue that you like -- maybe Apollo or Michelangelo's David, and add horns to it by making them yourself and gluing them on. (Better to have small blunt horns, so they don't break off. Same with a crescent moon crown for the Goddess. These suggestions are for Wiccans, obviously; but I don't know which particular pagan religion you follow, if any.)

4. If you have some artistic talent, make your own. You can buy some cheap fabric and paint on it with permanent markers or fabric pens, and then attach it to narrow wooden dowels so you can use it as a wall hanging. Or draw your own pictures, and put them in some kind of free-standing photo frame. Or even sculpt your own altar statues with Fimo or Sculpey clay, but to dry correctly they would need to be pretty small, so they fit in the palm of your hand.

What you might decide, after realizing the time and effort that you could put into making your own, is that you'll want to save up some money and buy some locally or online. The only reason they're not cheaper is the market economics of suppy and demand. If there were millions of pagans looking to buy altar statues of the Gods, then the prices would drop a lot, from market competition. Maybe in the future, that will happen; I sure hope so.

Anyway, good luck!

Add: After seeing the Kwan Yin suggestion, I should also add that you can find small statues of the Virgin Mary pretty cheap, so if you don't have any Christian mental associations that might work. The iconographic image of the Virgin Mary was totally copied from pagan goddesses, anyway; especially the Goddess Isis as she was worshipped in Rome.(I was never catholic, so I don't have any problem using a Virgin Mary statue as my Goddess image sometimes. But I renamed her Isis Urania, one of the variants on "The Queen of Heaven." I think the imagery is quite lovely and feminine. I have lots of different Goddess statues, and I would probably never use a statue of Mary for coven rituals, but for solitary rites it's just fine. Also I might use an angel statue; they are not Christian angels in my mind, but the ancient Bird Goddess archetype. Also the Sea Queen was one of the oldest Goddess archetypes, and a mermaid statue can work for that. Personally, I am not fond of all the fairy statuary that is so popular these days. I prefer my goddesses without bug wings, myself.)
