Behind the Craft: The Materials, Symbols, and Magic in Our Spirit Boards
At La Lumière Verte, every spirit board is intentionally handmade to support your spiritual practice, crafted with love and light, carrying both purpose and power. They’re functional works of art—ritual objects infused with symbolic meaning, intuitive design, and energetic alignment. Today, we invite you behind the scenes to explore how each board is fashioned: from wood and symbolism to energy and enchantment.
This is a journey of intention, of slow craft, and of honoring the unseen. If you’ve ever felt a board resonate beneath your fingertips, what you were sensing is a deeper connection with a tool designed to support transformation, reflection, and respectful communication with the unseen.
At La Lumière Verte, every spirit board begins with grounding—a ritual moment to center the self and step into sacred flow. This isn’t just the start of crafting; it’s the threshold where art, energy, and intention meet. Each board is created in a space of reverence, where presence invites purpose and universe-led artistry unfolds.
🌿 Materials That Matter
Ritual tools should feel like extensions of your own energy—and that begins with what they’re made of. Every spirit board we create is handcrafted using eco-conscious, sustainably sourced materials. The wood is chosen not just for its beauty, but for its energetic grounding properties. We use only sustainably grown and harvested walnut and cedar, chosen for both their energetic properties and their structural beauty. These woods have been long associated with protection, wisdom, and divination. Walnut’s dark richness grounds the spirit; cedar offers purification and clarity.
We use nourishing natural oils to seal and protect the surface—enhancing the natural beauty and preserving the wood’s integrity. This results in a surface that is smooth, responsive, and energetically attuned to the subtle work of divination.
These choices are foundational. Our process honors both form and function—each cut, sanding, and burnishing is done slowly, with presence. A board that’s made with sacred intent supports sacred work. You’ll feel that difference.
Why does this matter? Because slow craft holds spirit. When your tools are made with care, that care becomes part of the tool’s magic. When your board is made in harmony with nature, it becomes a bridge—between you and spirit, between Earth and ether.
Symbolism in the Design
Every spirit board carries a visual language. Our designs are layered with meaning—protective motifs, directional flows, symbolic invitations to intuitive realms. Each element is informed by deep research in occult history, sacred geometry, and folklore, as well as Stormey’s own background in art history, sacred symbolism, and intuitive visual language.
We create from a place of deep knowing. Every curve, glyph, and spatial choice is there to serve your practice.
Across our collections, you’ll find powerful symbols including:
Barn Owls – Silent watchers, keepers of liminal wisdom.
Serpents – Shedders of illusion, guardians of rebirth.
Butterflies and Moths – Carriers of transformation, psychopomps, guides in the dreamspace.
Sacred Geometry – Universal order, cosmic portals.
Sun and Moon – Balance of light and shadow, conscious and subconscious.
Marigolds – Offerings to the ancestors, flowers of remembrance.
Dragonflies – Messengers of self discovery, harbingers of good fortune, guides in times of transition
These symbols are chosen through a deeply intuitive process. Sometimes they emerge in dreams. Other times, they appear during walks in nature or moments of meditative silence. You’ll find solar and lunar references, elemental anchors, and sigils that support boundary-setting or spiritual clarity.
No two boards are exactly alike. Even within the same style, we allow space for variation and intuitive flow, ensuring that each board retains its own spirit of uniqueness. When you sit with your board, these symbols help shape the energetic conversation. They guide your awareness, attune your intuition, and anchor your focus.
Infusing Magic & Intention
Spirit boards are collaborative by nature—not just between you and any entities you might connect with, but between you and the tool itself.
We believe that ritual tools should resonate with the energy of their maker and their eventual guardian. That’s why each board is created slowly, by hand, in ceremony. They carry with them a vibrational signature left by the maker’s devotion. You’ll feel it when your hands hover above the planchette. You’ll sense it when your question is met with clarity. And because these tools are crafted sustainably, they are grounded in Earth-honoring energy. Our process respects the land, the trees, the materials gifted to us. This connection to the natural world deepens the board’s spiritual resonance.
Our spirit boards are more than tools—they are invitations, gateways, handcrafted companions for your intuitive work, conduits for connection, and mirrors for your inner knowing. Whether you’re a seasoned practitioner or just beginning to explore spirit communication, we invite you to meet our boards. Let them speak. Let them serve.
Before a spirit board is offered to the world, it is ritually charged. This begins during creation—while sanding, I hold intentions of clarity and protection. During the final polish, I play sound bowls to attune the board’s frequency. Each board is gently smoke-cleansed with ethically farmed botanicals to clear residual energy and bless the path ahead. Before shipping, we gently cleanse and prepare each board using traditional plant allies chosen for their protective and clarifying energies and sound baths to harmonize intuitive and grounding energies. Once it arrives in your hands, the board is ready to become a part of your practice. You may wish to dedicate it through your own cleansing or grounding ritual, or simply begin with gratitude and intention.
