Hoopoe Bird charm

R 500.00 ZAR

HOOPOE BIRD charm ● 925 solid sterling silver ●  spiritual  regeneration, spiritual wisdom, knowledge revealed,  good fortune. The Hoopoe bird with its distinctive head crest has a long history as a symbolic spiritual high priest, bringing valuable secret knowledge to mankind.

The 12^th C Persian mystical poem ‘Conference of the Birds’, has Hoopoe the designated ‘messenger of the invisible world’, with the ‘crown of truth upon his head’. Hoopoe is the priest-guide of all the birds on a spiritual pilgrimage to discover God –ultimately  the Hoopoe leads the birds to a reflective pool where they see not God but themselves , thus  the idea that God is reflected in each of us.

The Hoopoe was also a diviner of knowledge to the prophet-king Solomon: able to reveal the presence of ‘secret’ springs and wells. [In fact, the birds’ probing beak is known to be highly sensitive to earth’s electrical currents.] The symbolism of the secret spring is of the pure source of spiritual energy within us. A well, feminine in principle like a womb, contains magical waters with healing powers. [If our metaphoric  well-spring  becomes  blocked or lost , we become blocked and lost in our lives.]

Credo Mutwa, the African spiritualist and poet, speaks of the Hoopoe as a symbol of good fortune: when you hear the resonant “hoop-hoop, hoop-hoop, hoop-hoop”, you can ‘expect an important visitor’ who will bring good fortune.

 Hoopoe charm is an invitation of openness to messages of the spirit. The ‘Hoopoe’ is the book you open by chance to a passage you need; a dream that reveals an underlying truth; the synchronous events that focus your attention; the quiet meditation that allows you to hear your own inner voice. JL.

Spring Leaf charm

R 850.00 ZAR

SPRING LEAF charm  ●  925 solid sterling silver ● transparent chatreuse Spring-green glass enamel  ●  growth, renewal, life force, fertility, youth, hope, health, new beginnings.  The first bright green leaves of spring that burst from the buds of stark winter branches are the eternal symbol of hope and rebirth.

One of the great central themes of spirituality and religion is the mystery cycle of death, resurrection and life. Springtime is the time of resurrection and hope – new opportunities, fresh beginnings,  a wellspring of energy like the rising sap of a plant, forcing its way through barriers, bursting out into new leaf.

Winter is also a metaphor for a time of difficulty. The dependable benevolence of Spring is a reassurance of our ability to survive through difficulty, that we can emerge with fresh enthusiasm for life.

The radiant energy and fragile transparent beauty of youth is a transient quality to be celebrated. Easter was originally a Spring-fertility rite: celebrating life’s annual resurrection and abundance. Eggs and flowers are commonly used, but the new leaf is traditionally part of the ancient symbolism.

‘Green’ is an emblem of ecology today, a symbol of ‘Green’ thinking, policies and politics: protecting and nurturing the natural world. Talisgirl Charms’ Spring Leaf associates itself with these concepts of honouring and nurturing the natural world.

Spring Leaf charm is a celebration of a young person’s effervescent youth and beauty. It is also for a person of any age who is in a ‘winter’ stage of life, needing to know that there is hope in the next cycle of growth.JL.

‘If I keep a green bough in my heart, then the singing birds will come.’  Chinese Proverb.

size: 18,5 x 13,6 (LxB) see photos for body scale.(Chain not supplied,recommend Med. chain) Hangs beautifully, chain/cord passes behind leaf stem. Enamels are traditional handcrafted ,high fired glass and vary slightly on each charm.

White-Eye Bird charm

R 290.00 ZAR

WHITE-EYE BIRD charm  ● 925 solid sterling silver ●  joyous life energy , balancing public and private self, integrity, inner peace,  social confidence, relationship, community purpose.
● The White Eye is a small wild bird, with an exuberant joyous energy. Alternating life between a large flock and a tiny transient family, the bird suggests a model for the happy integration of public and personal life.
● White Eyes are constantly in motion, jostling and following from plant to plant, constantly in communication with their joyous tweeting. However in mating season some of these sociable birds separate out of the group into monogamous pairs: together they build a tiny woven cup-nest, bound and lined with spider web silk, where they incubate and rear their young. Afterward they re-join their flock.
●  White Eye bird charm reminds us that stepping away from the group to do our own work is as important as finding joy, companionship and support within the group. A perfect gift for both introverts extroverts, and young people going out into the world.   JL. ote: this symbolic interpretation is my own, but as with all symbols it is based on the inherent nature of the subject.

10 x 13,4 mm (LXB).See photos for body scale.(Chain not supplied,recommend -M-L chain) Colours do vary due to handmade qualities, see pics.

Winged Seed charm

R 650.00 ZAR

WINGED SEED charm ● 925 solid sterling silver ●  latent potential, new beginnings, pilgrimage, integrity of self, abundance, hope.  A seed is a central symbol of growth and rebirth; it represents the mysterious potentialities that justify hope in our lives.

A seed is a symbol for the mystic origin from which radiates everything that ever is and ever was. Science calls it a black hole, religion calls it the godhead, symbolism uses the metaphor of a seed. In  Hinduism the seed represents life and consciousness itself.

A seed represents the potential for complete fulfilment of individual expression.

With a single seed placed on the alter, Eleusinian mystics would meditate on the mystery of the single grain that ripens in the dark, reappearing transformed in the light of spring , a new life born which in turn will give birth to multiple new seeds ,new lives, new potentials.

A winged seed represents a seed in spiritual journey – a symbol for a pilgrimage. A pilgrimage is a journey to wake one’s latent spirit, to discover meaning, to grow one’s sense of self in the universe. The seed journey may be an ‘official’ pilgrimage, but a pilgrimage can also be your life journey if you choose it to be a journey of spiritual growth.

Winged Seed charm is a protector both in safe travel, and of mindful travel on one’s life journey. Its presence calls up the synchronicities which make our life into a map of meaningful events and a centre for spiritual expansion.

Be mindful of the journey that is your life, watching for and nurturing the ‘seeds’ that offer potential for growth and abundance. JL.
