Woven Story Thread

German hand weaver, Kerstin, collaborated on new spiral designs for the charmed woven details in the script and researched the era and examples of woven croits (belt or sash in Irish) and the magic associated with them from cultures across Europe, that imbued them with protective charms.

Double Spiral Design: A couple starts their journey with a double spiral protection charm in the hem of their clothes.

Triple Spiral Design: As the family expands, so do the spirals in the protection charms.

These symbols follow the character Lúgh through the story. He is linked to his mother's people whom he doesn't know of yet. These bespoke designs will be designed into the characters clothing and feature in the costumes.

As Kerstin adds her own spell about three generations moving apart yet connected by the spell and by blood:

"Three leaves on one tree, three waves in one sea, strive away as you may, bound together you'll stay."
