“THE other magical requisites are: a sceptre, a sword, a mitre, a cap, a long white robe of linen, and other garments for the purpose; also a girdle of lion’s skin three inches broad, with all the names written about it which he round the outmost part of the Magical Circle. Also, perfumes and a chafing-dish of charcoal kindled to put the fumes on, to smoke or perfume the place appointed for action; also anointing oil to anoint thy temples and thine eyes with; and fair water to wash thyself in.” The Lesser Key of Solomon
This is an example of a lion skin belt. It is still a work in progress and was taken from a Victorian-era lion hide that was being thrown out. Stitching the leather is no easy task and was accomplished using a large leather stitch needle, small hammer and block of wood as the base to assist tapping the needle through the leather.
Off-cuts are available upon request.
Owing to changes in UK law I am no longer able to provide or sell offcuts of lion skin for lion skin belts.
