Shyrztikalā

Creation / Art / Craft / Work

Shyrztikalā is shown as a many-armed artisan, each hand holding a different tool—brush, chisel, hammer, loom, pen, and more. Their form is androgynous, with features that subtly shift to reflect the viewer’s own craft or art. Their skin is the color of fresh clay, and their hair flows like molten gold.  Shyṛzṭikalā  is patient, inventive, and nurturing, delighting in all acts of creation. They encourage mortals to build, shape, and innovate, teaching that work is sacred and that beauty can be found in every craft. Shyṛzṭikalā is also a protector of laborers and a foe of those who destroy or defile works of art.  Shyṛzṭikalā encourages the sharing of knowledge and skill, they are is fond of teachers and mentors that pass on their craft.

• Worship: Artisans, builders, smiths, and anyone who creates or works with their hands honor Shyṛzṭikalā . Workshops and studios often have small shrines, and communities may dedicate public works to the god.

• Offerings: The first finished piece of any new work, or a small token crafted by the worshiper, is offered at the shrine. Broken tools are ritually buried or melted down and recast in Shyṛzṭikalā’s name.

• Celebrations: The Festival of Hands is held at the start of the winter season. Communities come together to admire and share the works of art and construction that were created during the brighter months. Partially it is an attempt to step into the harsh winter on a positive footing.
