'The River King'

"The River King" is a majestic and ancient Spirit, whose ethereal guise is inspired by the vibrant and elusive kingfisher. This magical spirit rules over the waterways during the frosty season, his feathers shimmering with the same dazzling array of blues and greens that sparkle upon river surfaces under the soft warming glow of the winter sun. Like the kingfisher, known for its sharp-eyed dives, The River King embodies the deep, flowing magic of rivers; their capacity to sustain life and carry forth the secrets of the ages.

Legend has it that The River King was born from the laughter of rivers mingling with the whisper of winter winds, a spirit forged in the shimmering convergence of water and ice. He glides gracefully along the banks and over the mirrored surfaces, his presence a harbinger of tranquility and renewal.

The River King's magic is as ancient as the river stones and as vital as the currents themselves. He is said to bring blessings of clarity and flow, helping to cleanse old regrets by washing them downstream, rejuvenating the spirit with new possibilities brought by the constant flow of fresh water. Even during the harshest of winters, the rivers will never freeze entirely in his wake; they flow with a life-giving force beneath the ice, whispering of resilience and the enduring power of water.

N.B: Each Spirit is handmade and painted in the ‘Manifestorium’ at The Christmas Imaginarium. Therefore just like the spirits that inhabit the bodies, no two will ever be exactly the same!

The fact they are all handmade also means that, just like us as people, they may bear their own little quirks and imperfections; we think this adds to each Spirit’s individual charm and character and are identifying features of a truly artisan product.
