Apple charm

R 500.00 ZAR

APPLE charm ●  925 silver  ●   spiritual knowledge, self- knowledge, inner wisdom, self-awareness, self-empowerment.
Apples are always the mystical ‘forbidden fruit’ in folklore, mythology and religion. They represent a ‘greater knowledge’, access to which represents a position of power because knowledge brings choice through insight and oversight.
The apple as a symbol of sacred knowledge originated from the 5-pointed star-shaped cross section of an apple, a pentagram, sacred symbol of light, of the 'mystic centre', and the discovery of 'hidden' knowledge.
The apple picked by Eve in the Garden of Eden represents symbolically the choice to be conscious, to have self-knowledge and self-awareness. (To live in the mythical paradise one must remain unconscious.The patriarchs would have that it was a sin to become conscious and knowledgeable.)

Wearing an apple charm is a statement for the courage to take the path of self-actualisation over being passive to the ideas of others.
The power lies too in our enormous reservoirs of inner wisdom.    JL

Size: 12mm high with stem and leaf x 8,5mm wide fruit x 5,3mm deep fruit. Solid silver inside.
NB. Two ways of hanging shown in images below: iether feed chain (oval link L chain shown) through built in link behind apple stem, or via traditional extra link always supplied.

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.

Pegasus Spring Water charm

R 850.00 ZAR

PEGASUS SPRING WATER ● 925 silver ● enamel turquoise blue transparent glass  ●  creative inspiration, spiritual regeneration, mastery of instincts
●  Pegasus is the winged [spiritualized] horse [instinct] which symbolises an unblocking of positive creative energy, releasing a spring of fresh flowing energy into our lives. It is the traditional symbol for writers and artists.
●  Pegasus charm represents our innate capacity for inverting negative energy to positive creative energy, bringing clarity and inspiration to our daily lives.
●  Pegasus sprang whole from the slayed body of Medusa, who was an ancient Athena/Wisdom goddess, later ‘cursed’ with subverted negative energy – one ‘turned to stone’ to look on her – a classic metaphor for a blocked/negative state of being. Her trapped negative spirit is transformed to its positive, original (un-cursed) pure essence: and Pegasus is part of that energy. In essence, Pegasus is born of (unfettered) female instinctive wisdom, creativity and inspiration.
●  Pegasus has the magical gift of making springs burst from the earth wherever he strikes his hooves. Hippocrene [Horse’s fountain] is the name of Pegasus mythical fountain: the water came from the purest mother source, the same source as poetic and artistic inspiration. The blue glass enamel represents the spring, JL.

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.
