Aztecs wore hummingbird fetishes as emblems of strength, and for the image of their sharp beaks, symbolic of bloodletting and piercing. The image was carved onto the shoulders of priests and hummingbirds were also considered to be reincarnated warriors. This idea is often found in other cultures, and thus the hummingbird is often associated with containing the spirits of those who have crossed over.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePersonally, I saw my first hummingbird in person at Lily Dale, a Victorian town filled with spiritualist mediums.

In the 'Nigredo' process, everything is blackened, putrefied, 'killed' in a sense, to allow for new growth. It is during this phase in 'inner alchemy' that we are confronted with the knowledge our darker aspects, a phase in which we must accept our shadow selves. In relation to the bat, I was thinking of how they are 'blind' but are able to navigate the night by using other senses such as their hearing and echo location. When we descend into the shadowy aspects of ourselves, we are often faced with aspects of our personality that seem dangerous, uncomfortable and unwanted. The bat is a talisman that represents the way we are able to find new ways of being by integrating this darkness, by learning how to navigate ourselves with these other ways, much like a bat relies not its eyes, but its ears. When we accept and acknowledge our more shadowy aspects, the parts of ourselves we have been conditioned to suppress, the parts of ourselves we hide from others as well as oursevles, we are on the path to wholeness. We become more accepting of our flaws. Having struggled with my shadow self for many years, this talisman represents not only that struggle, but our ability to become whole.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Vampire bat is paired with my signature 'rosary bone' chain and hand oxidized to achieve my particular shade of gloomy gray.

Much like other members of the solanaceae family, it is highly toxic in high doses. This includes all parts of it, from its gorgeous trumpet like flowers, to its toothy leaves, its roots and its infamous inky black seeds which are incased in spiky seed pods. In smaller doses, it has been used in the past as healing salves for inflammation and pain while also being utilized in folk magic to induce visionary and hallucinogenic states. Among tribes with shamanic practices, Datura was considered sacred and can be found in cave paintings and on pre-historic ceramics, suggesting its use during these times.\u003cspan class=\"Apple-converted-space\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne of the attributes of this plant that drew me to it aside from its beauty and folklore, is its ability to grow alongside the edges of places, even here in the city. Its seeds disperse when its pods dry and crack open and I’ve witnessed it grow from cracks in the sidewalk, through holes in chain link fences, abundantly in between buildings and in other abandoned empty spaces in the city where such beauty seems out of place.

Like its winged kin, its body and head are freckled throughout with tear shaped scales while its belly has subtle, smooth stripped detailing. Unlike the endless, repetitious cycle that the Ouroboros represents, the head of our snake rests gently on its tail rather than devouring it, suggesting a definitive end\/beginning to things\/feelings\/emotional seasons, acting, if one wishes, as a kind of bookmark in time. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eIt was designed with being a symbolic balm to grief in mind: a personal grief carrier to help \"carry the burden\" of intense emotions you may have accrued during this strange, horrifying and transformative year. Or perhaps it can be your anchor, something to literally hold on to and that literally holds on to you, as you navigate the rough seas of past memories that may appear suddenly like a lightning storm. It may also symbolically help assist you unravel the unwanted emotions \/ thought patterns needing to be shed- much like the snake brings with it the symbol of transformation- as it regularly sheds its old skin in its entirety as it grows, expanding after each shed, becoming, in a sense, fresh with potential and possibility. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThe bangle can also be used as a piece of 'sentimental' jewelry to mark the passing of a loved one as a piece of modern mourning jewelry \u003cspan\u003e(Snakes were sometimes included in Victorian Mourning motifs.)\u003c\/span\u003e- as it was designed with this intention in mind as well-the tears symbolizing the snake sharing your sorrow in an eternal way, cast forever in metal-even as you may be able to move on to other emotions during the complex and long dance with grief, this jewel will remain a touchstone. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eAdditionally, remarkably detailed and tactile, the body of each snake was designed to be touched, spun and rubbed during moments of reverie or intense emotion for a calming experience if you’re  so inclined to somatic soothing techniques.

He is usually depicted with a rod on which a snake is twinned around it; symbolizing the secret knowledge of the healing arts and resurrection (Medical practitioners still use this image as their symbol.) His healing temples were known as  Asclepieia or Asklepieia-to which people seeking to be healed would pilgrimage to. Once there, these pilgrims would stay a night or two to under go 'dream incubation'  in a sacred part of the temple, most likely under the effect of hallucinogens (poisonous plants perhaps?) during which they would be visited by the god Asclepius in the form of a snake, and either told what would cure them (which they could then have prescribed and administered on hand at the temple ) or healed in the dream space. Non-venmous snakes were often known to be free roaming in these temples and would 'whisper' cures and heal those who came to the temples, further aligning the healing nature of the snake, counter balancing its poisonous and deadly attributes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eDETAILS:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e-Available in five sizes, size is measured by interior circumference of bangle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e-Hand cast in sterling silver, and hand oxidized in our favorite shade of gloomy gray before being hand finished to reveal highlights.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e-Each part of the process is handmade, right here in Philadelphia, utilizing a local, family own casting company in the same zip code as our studio.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e-**A note about size** We have found that the most common size ordered is the 8\" version, but please measure before purchasing as these bangles *can not* be resized. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e-Having a friend help you, use a soft tape measure to measure your hand's circumference.

There are two types: Unicursal and Multicursal: the first, akin to the Chartres Labyrinth, with a single, spiral-like path in and out, while the latter, such as the Cretan Labyrinth that housed the Minotaur, are filled with different paths, dead ends, and are difficult, if not impossible to navigate. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eOur newly revamped Labyrinths feature the Cretan Labyrinth, based on an ancient coin, a nod to the idea of healing\/grief\/the processing of trauma or personal inner growth being a spiral, a nonlinear process. This form of Labyrinth, much like the Chartres ‘church’ version has been used for walking meditation, with the idea of the center, or ‘centre’ being where one returns to their hidden self (unconscious), or in some views, the Shadow self, the Minotaur. You will not be the same person walking out as walking in, the trials, challenges and experiences along the path will transform you.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe unconscious is a rich place, present within each of us, that is often inaccessible. Our unconscious can present itself as our Shadow – aspects of ourselves that we have tried to suppress, often since childhood, due to societal norms. We acclimate, sometimes without even realizing it, to the pressures of the world around us and push down these inky parts of ourselves –often hiding them from our conscious selves – making the Shadow feel akin to an Underworld that we travel to in dreams or in traumatic moments, often surprising ourselves. As taught in Jungian theory, if we are able to meet our Shadow, to be more aware of it, we have reached another step on the path towards being whole, to a richer expansion of ourselves. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSince I first released a Labyrinth design I I feel I’ve only been walking deeper into this serpentine path, at times closing in on the Minotaur while also finding myself lost, shouldering against walls that dead end. When I imagine myself walking the path it’s often at night, I’m holding tightly onto my jeweled thread, knowing my beloved has the other end. I know it’s up to me to find the center, to make peace with the darkest parts of myself. I know it’s up to me to find my way out. Sometimes this feels like the most daunting task and I feel alone. Other times I can hear friends and beloveds shouting over the walls, calling me home. I hope that if this piece calls to you, that you feel comforted by it, that you feel less lost, that you find a way out. That you know it’s ok to be changed when you do cross that final threshold. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSeen here in an oversized, shield shaped form, this listing is for one labyrinth pendant on our signature bar link chain in the length of your choosing. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBoth pendant and chain are sterling silver, hand oxidized to achieve our favorite shade of stormy gray and then highlighted to reveal the bright luminous silver beneath.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen not worn, it can function as a small offering bowl due to its domed shape. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDetails:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e- Labyrinth is 48mm in diameter\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e- The center of the Labyrinth rests 10mm off of the chest\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e- Solid sterling silver\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e- Shown on Jess and Miguel at 30\" \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e- Shown on Jess at 16\" \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e- Last image shows all three pendants for scale\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e***IMPORTANT***\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis jewel is handmade to order, just for you, with care and focus.

Necklace.","description":"\u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBack in September of 2018, Brazil’s oldest natural history museum, caught fire. This fire ripped through most of the buildings, and in photos against a night sky, large swathes of bright flame bloom high above the old buildings. Inside, entire collections of memory were being swallowed up in this blaze, butterflies and other insect collections, shells, taxidermied birds, and perhaps the most devastating - recordings of indigenous languages being spoken were completely lost within hours. Scraps of paper with hand written notes and illustrations rained down over a mile away, blown by the roaring winds generated by the fire. I remember hearing about this happening in real time while driving through the darkness of a lonely midwestern road, the radio on, hearing a woman speaking with devastation in her voice about the loss to our collective memory keeping. I remember thinking : my heart is this pyre too, filled with these butterflies. I could feel her grief from across the sea. I could feel the heat of that fire through her voice. Perhaps our hearts are all connected in this way - through the grief that 'fire' can bring down upon us all - the destructive nature that reduces us all to ashes - the Tower Season it feels were all in privately in the secret chambers of our hearts, and also so vividly and viscerally together, collectively as we reshuffle and try to figure out new ways of being with one another. Are our hearts all a bit the same now that they have been touched by fire ? Edge with flame marks ?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFire has the power to cleanse and renew as well as to destroy. We use it to keep ourselves warm and to light our way in the darkness. It brings comfort and mimics the solar energy of the sun, the greatest star, forever on fire above us. We carry a bit of this inside ourselves, a heart that is also, a house, a book, a chamber with many rooms, a memory storehouse, a grief museum …..when its set on fire, all of these functions are both made more intense, more sacred and can also all be destroyed - with the potential to be made new again. I’ve been thinking a lot lately of the Phoenix - towards the end of its life, it makes a nest of sacred herbs and spices and immolates itself within this space. From these ashes of both self and nest\/home, a new Phoenix rises. I like to think about this sacred fire, this choice, this renewal. What it means to carry a heavy heart, grief, turbulent emotions, and to somehow find the will to make a choice to be ‘new’ - to come out of the ashes of the fallen Tower - a broken heart - a season of grief - a hard time - and feel new feathers forming under your skin, feel the fire in your heart’s blood.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Ancient Egyptians believed the heart to be the seat of everything : knowledge, memory, and emotion. They so firmly believed in the power of the heart they left it in the body during the mummification process, an embedded star, to be weighed and tested for passage into the afterlife. If the heart weighed more than the feather of Maat, it was fed to Ammit - ‘Devourer of Hearts’ and your spirit died a second death. You were not permitted to go on to the afterlife. I think of this often. My heart being devoured, my heart weighing more or less.

II Collection.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThese days, I have come to think of my grief as being made of water. Often times I imagine it living in the cauldron of my heart, or in that seemingly void space between my heart and stomach, maybe you can imagine it - a space that feels as if a black hole exists there, a night sea, a sea of grief where one grief lives and then another is poured into it, and then another, another ...until the grief becomes a kind of elixir I'm cooking over a fire, an elixir that cures no one, least of all me.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eOther days I feel my grief is so large and so shadowy that its made of my body a haunted house; speculative fiction writer Samantha Hunt writers in her NYT interview :\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\" I started to think about the way we get haunted as a process of calcification, 'haunted' is when something accompanies you, when we are not fully aware of a presence. It's something that you carry around inside of you.\" \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eI think on this at night, when mostly everything is quiet, and my thought patterns shift from my day time rhythm to more 'cocoon' thoughts which I equate to the process of 'calcification' that Hunt describes. My cocoon space becomes liquid with my grief, it becomes filled with my griefs which feel like ghosts, like presences I carry around with me.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThese griefs are both big and small. The large griefs are the loss of people, the deaths I dance with, that I try to understand and still, despite it being years later, accept. This dance sometimes becomes a grappling in the dark, I can feel myself shouldering against walls of understanding and violently losing. Maybe you understand how this kind of grief can surface like a mammoth tusk in an ice thaw. Unexpected and sharp, before it recedes again, sinks back into a place where it was long buried. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThen there are the small griefs we carry. We mourn the loss of our identity ( so many of us perhaps unexpectedly faced this these past two years with unplanned moves, job changes etc ), the feeling of not being enough, or of being 'too much'. We mourn the loss of lovers, and the loss of friends who we once thought of as family. The family who we thought we were aligned with in all matters of the heart. The grief of illness, the grief of a missed opportunity. The grief of being displaced, the grief of feeling helpless in the face of so much timeline horror ..... this griefs are also poured into the sea of my heart, the sea of the collective heart. The sea in my cocoon, where the liquid that pools around me, helps me transform, much like the moth .....\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eHerein lies the inspiration for our newest iteration of the large Grief Moth, an object, a jewel, a talisman to help carry your griefs, both little and large. Designed to be highly tactile, this moth is a dream moth, freckled with little 'wells' of tears, a 'being', a presence on your hand or body for you to rub your fingers over like a 'worry stone' if you can't shed your own tears or are trying your best not to. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMOTH:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThe mystery of transformation and all its nuances are wrapped up in the symbology of the moth: during its time in its cocoon, its body completely liquefies, wholly transforming itself into a new, different body, all the while retaining its memories. It is an ancient creature, millions of years older than the butterfly and usually nocturnal; using the glow of the moon and stars as its guiding light.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAs (mostly) nocturnal beings, Moths are often associated with the mystery, magic, and dream like quality of the Night. This nocturnality associates Moth (as well as Spider, Snake, Scorpion) with the Shadow Self. The Shadow Self is a concept via Carl Jung and represents the repressed parts of our psyche, the traits that are societally\/culturally deemed ‘bad’ or ‘unacceptable’ (anger, sadness, grief, selfishness, pettiness, etc.) The shadow is composed of all of the disowned and unwanted parts of yourself that you press down into the unconscious. Shadow work – the process of identifying (rather than projecting onto others) these traits and feelings is messy, brutal, lifelong work. There are romantic aspects to it (for me, the dream of being whole), but it also has a raw quality, akin to those traumatic first days of new grief.

This nocturnality associates Moth (as well as Spider, Snake, Scorpion) with the Shadow Self. The Shadow Self is a concept via Carl Jung and represents the repressed parts of our psyche, the traits that are societally\/culturally deemed ‘bad’ or ‘unacceptable’ (anger, sadness, grief, selfishness, pettiness, etc.) The shadow is composed of all of the disowned and unwanted parts of yourself that you press down into the unconscious. Shadow work – the process of identifying (rather than projecting onto others) these traits and feelings is messy, brutal, lifelong work. There are romantic aspects to it (for me, the dream of being whole), but it also has a raw quality, akin to those traumatic first days of new grief. Jung emphasizes the importance of integrating the shadow more consciously into ourselves – a way of recognizing, accepting and transforming these ‘horrors’ hidden within ourselves. \u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eAs a balm \/ protective talisman, our Grief Moth helps carry these ‘shadow feelings’ for its wearer\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMoths are ancient; fossils of them have been dated to be around 190-201 million years old, making them older than butterflies. Their bodies undergo intense transformation: first, the caterpillar weaves itself a silky cocoon to change within. This radical transformation includes a near total disintegration of their previous bodies into a kind of jelly, while still retaining memory. The body begins to reshape itself into what it will become while within this dark and creatively fertile place, and once it is ready, it emerges, a creature with wings and the ability to fly. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis communion with the self in the dark velvet of the cocoon, and with transformation, often links the moth to those seeking or undergoing major psychic shifts in their lives or within their bodies\/psyches. Moths are nocturnal and are said to be ‘led by moonlight.’ This natural proclivity also links them to the underworld, the realms of the unconscious; in some cultures, they are believed to be the signs of the spirits of the recent dead.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis design is also inspired by my continuing struggles with grief and my interests in the many tales of the afterlife, as well as the question many of my planchette and Spiritualist inspired jewels asks: Are we capable of continuing a relationship with our dead? For most, periods of grief are often lonely and isolated times. During the intensity of the start of my dance with grief, the planchette became a personal symbol to me and for the love that endures after death. The Planchette (as a separate object from the Spirit Board) has long been used as a tool for automatic writing, for connecting to the unconscious. Later, it would become associated with spirit communication and Séance. Here, the moth has become a symbolic winged messenger, ferrying messages from different planes of existence, between the inner and outer selves, between the living and the dead.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis listing is for one planchette grief moth paired with our signature bar link chain in the length of your choosing.

Often times I imagine it living in the cauldron of my heart, or in that seemingly void space between my heart and stomach, maybe you can imagine it - a space that feels as if a black hole exists there, a night sea, a sea of grief where one grief lives and then another is poured into it, and then another, another ...until the grief becomes a kind of elixir I'm cooking over a fire, an elixir that cures no one, least of all me.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eOther days I feel my grief is so large and so shadowy that its made of my body a haunted house; speculative fiction writer Samantha Hunt writers in her NYT interview :\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\" I started to think about the way we get haunted as a process of calcification, 'haunted' is when something accompanies you, when we are not fully aware of a presence. It's something that you carry around inside of you.\" \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eI think on this at night, when mostly everything is quiet, and my thought patterns shift from my day time rhythm to more 'cocoon' thoughts which I equate to the process of 'calcification' that Hunt describes. My cocoon space becomes liquid with my grief, it becomes filled with my griefs which feel like ghosts, like presences I carry around with me.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThese griefs are both big and small. The large griefs are the loss of people, the deaths I dance with, that I try to understand and still, despite it being years later, accept. This dance sometimes becomes a grappling in the dark, I can feel myself shouldering against walls of understanding and violently losing. Maybe you understand how this kind of grief can surface like a mammoth tusk in an ice thaw. Unexpected and sharp, before it recedes again, sinks back into a place where it was long buried. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThen there are the small griefs we carry. We mourn the loss of our identity ( so many of us perhaps unexpectedly faced this these past two years with unplanned moves, job changes etc ), the feeling of not being enough, or of being 'too much'. We mourn the loss of lovers, and the loss of friends who we once thought of as family. The family who we thought we were aligned with in all matters of the heart. The grief of illness, the grief of a missed opportunity. The grief of being displaced, the grief of feeling helpless in the face of so much timeline horror ..... this griefs are also poured into the sea of my heart, the sea of the collective heart. The sea in my cocoon, where the liquid that pools around me, helps me transform, much like the moth .....\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eHerein lies the inspiration for our newest iteration of the Planchette Grief Moth, an object, a jewel, a talisman to help carry your griefs, both little and large. Designed to be highly tactile, this moth is a dream moth. It features a subtle planchette shape, as well as another enduring symbol of our line, the silver tear, on either side of its head. Its two 'comet' like tails represent the brief, bright lives that moths live, drawn to the celestial lights of the night sky, as well as being akin to the long shapes tears can take when not immediately wiped away on the face.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eDesigned to also exist as a  'being', or a presence on your hand or body, rub it like a 'worry stone' during times of intense emotion, when feeling disembodied or stressed, if you can't shed your own tears or are trying your best not to. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMOTH:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThe mystery of transformation and all its nuances are wrapped up in the symbology of the moth: during its time in its cocoon, its body completely liquefies, wholly transforming itself into a new, different body, all the while retaining its memories. It is an ancient creature, millions of years older than the butterfly and usually nocturnal; using the glow of the moon and stars as its guiding light.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAs (mostly) nocturnal beings, Moths are often associated with the mystery, magic, and dream like quality of the Night. This nocturnality associates Moth (as well as Spider, Snake, Scorpion) with the Shadow Self. The Shadow Self is a concept via Carl Jung and represents the repressed parts of our psyche, the traits that are societally\/culturally deemed ‘bad’ or ‘unacceptable’ (anger, sadness, grief, selfishness, pettiness, etc.) The shadow is composed of all of the disowned and unwanted parts of yourself that you press down into the unconscious. Shadow work – the process of identifying (rather than projecting onto others) these traits and feelings is messy, brutal, lifelong work. There are romantic aspects to it (for me, the dream of being whole), but it also has a raw quality, akin to those traumatic first days of new grief. Jung emphasizes the importance of integrating the shadow more consciously into ourselves – a way of recognizing, accepting and transforming these ‘horrors’ hidden within ourselves. \u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eAs a balm \/ protective talisman, our Grief Moth helps carry these ‘shadow feelings’ for its wearer\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMoths are ancient; fossils of them have been dated to be around 190-201 million years old, making them older than butterflies. Their bodies undergo intense transformation: first, the caterpillar weaves itself a silky cocoon to change within. This radical transformation includes a near total disintegration of their previous bodies into a kind of jelly, while still retaining memory. The body begins to reshape itself into what it will become while within this dark and creatively fertile place, and once it is ready, it emerges, a creature with wings and the ability to fly. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis communion with the self in the dark velvet of the cocoon, and with transformation, often links the moth to those seeking or undergoing major psychic shifts in their lives or within their bodies\/psyches. Moths are nocturnal and are said to be ‘led by moonlight.’ This natural proclivity also links them to the underworld, the realms of the unconscious; in some cultures, they are believed to be the signs of the spirits of the recent dead.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis design is also inspired by my continuing struggles with grief and my interests in the many tales of the afterlife, as well as the question many of my planchette and Spiritualist inspired jewels asks: Are we capable of continuing a relationship with our dead? For most, periods of grief are often lonely and isolated times. During the intensity of the start of my dance with grief, the planchette became a personal symbol to me and for the love that endures after death. The Planchette (as a separate object from the Spirit Board) has long been used as a tool for automatic writing, for connecting to the unconscious. Later, it would become associated with spirit communication and Séance. Here, the moth has become a symbolic winged messenger, ferrying messages from different planes of existence, between the inner and outer selves, between the living and the dead.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis listing is for one planchette grief moth paired with our split V band in the size of your choosing.

This dual natured balance of life and death, of destruction and healing is a visual metaphor I was going for in this talismanic vessel, where two conjoined scorpions are locked in an eternal embrace of the mysteries of life and death, of letting go and becoming, the ultimate transformative energies at work to be work close to the body and above the heart. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eScorpion:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eOver 400 millions years old (older than the Dinosaur or the Spider) the ancient Scorpion has been an image of both destruction and healing over the ages. Like the Spider, it is both nocturnal and poisonous, carrying potent venom in its stinger as well as a fierce strength in its front pincers. Many species of Scorpion are subterranean, often waiting underground in solitude, emerging to ensnare and devour its prey. This links Scorpion the Underworld like Spider; its unconscious, instinctual nature helps him conquer transformation within the shadowy depths.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOften feared with venom strong enough in some species to mortally poison man, these Scorpions act as a protective talisman and also a talisman of transformation. As an added layer of meaning: Scorpion also speaks to the Shadow Self of Carl Jung’s ideas on ‘Inner Alchemy’. Its ability to transform, its destructive and links to the underworld ( realm of shades and shadows) underline the idea of the Shadow; which is seen as the repressed, unwanted or unaccepted parts of oneself.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAn extension of ‘Darkling, I Listen’ ~ this collection of jewels urges the wearer to move towards self-acceptance through the jewels as talismans. The process of individuation or transmutation is the process of becoming ‘whole’. For Jung, this didn’t mean becoming ‘good’, but becoming complete in the sense that one accepts all of their unconscious ‘faults’ as well as their experiences (their pasts) to become whole or complete. In ‘Inner Alchemy’ each phase of the alchemical process from antiquity was re-assigned new meanings: i.e. the quest for the philosopher's stone is truly a quest to become whole. In the 'Nigredo' process, everything is blackened, putrefied, 'killed' in a sense, to allow for new growth. It is during this phase in 'Inner Alchemy' that we are confronted with the knowledge our darker aspects, a phase in which we must accept our shadow selves. When we accept and acknowledge our more shadowy aspects, the parts of ourselves we have been conditioned to suppress, the parts of ourselves we hide from others as well as ourselves, we are on the path to wholeness. We become more accepting of our flaws, our darknesses. Having struggled with my own shadow self for many years, this talisman represents not only that long tangle with ‘darkness’, but our ability to become whole.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDetails:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e- 81mm at it's widest \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e- 48mm from top to bottom \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e- Solid Sterling Silver  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e- Shown on Miguel with 20 inch chain \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e- Shown on Jess with 16 inch chain \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e- \u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eBoth pendant and chain are\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e hand oxidized to achieve our favorite shade of stormy gray and then highlighted to reveal the bright luminous silver beneath\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e- Last image shows all three sizes of 'The Poison \u0026amp; The Cure' scorpions for scale\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e***IMPORTANT***\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eThis jewel is handmade to order, just for you, with care and focus.

The triplicate \/ triple faced goddess of Greece, Hekate, patron goddess of witches, has roots in her role as guardian of liminal spaces and the crossroads; her ability to look and guard all directions. The triform depictions of her also suggest her as a representation of the three realms: the earthly, the celestial and the chthonic. As a talismanic vessel, this offering is imbued with the protective aspect of Hekate, her ability to grant safe travel in liminal spaces, both in all realms. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eThe small prongs holding the all silver ‘gemstone’ are cast from mouse bones, one of the smaller creatures I work with. The mouse as a symbol also has liminal aspects, as they are secretive, able to move nearly invisible through many spaces and “shadow” the movements of humans for survival. Likewise chthonic, they are like the snake, low to the ground with incredible senses, attentive and resilient despite their ‘feral’ and abhorred aspects. In myth and fairytale, the mouse often comes to the aid of those in distress, helping to carry out nearly impossible tasks for humans, or quietly befriending them with their scrappy company when they are locked in small rooms or towers, away from the world.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eWith the addition of the mouse, I was also thinking of the moments we feel small and helpless in the face of the strange times we live in or within the microcosmos of our personal lives; how feral and untamed we can also feel our hearts are. The mouse proves that despite being small, it is resilient in its ability to adapt and ‘gnaw” into other spaces if need be. These aspects make this jewel a companion for those moments, a touchstone for when you shrink inside of yourself, a physical reminder of the ways we can both retreat and advance in life. If you’re feeling this way, struggling with feelings of smallness and resilience, know you are not alone. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA triangular crystal was cast in sterling silver and retains all its lovely facets, acting as the gem of the piece, cradled by three tiny mouse bones, acting as prongs. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCast in solid sterling silver, b\u003cspan\u003eoth pendant and chain are\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e hand oxidized to achieve our favorite shade of stormy gray and then highlighted to reveal the bright luminous silver beneath. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDetails:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e- 18 inch bar link chain\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- 23mm tall \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e- 30mm at its widest including jump rings \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e- Solid sterling silver \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e- Shown on Miguel at 20\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e***IMPORTANT***\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis jewel is handmade to order, just for you, with care and focus.

She embodies the tension between beauty and terror: one look from Medusa turned anything living into stone, though no women were recorded in Myth to have befallen this fate.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eSeparated from the bo\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003edy, the head of Medusa took on apotropaic qualities, appearing at the entryway of structures and homes to ward off evil and trespassers. In this way, the head of Medusa took on a protectionary quality, frightening away energies and people intent on harm, contradicting the murderous qualities she possessed when fully embodied. Beheaded by Perseus as a trophy, even her blood held potent magical qualities: Pegasus was born from her severed neck and coral is said to be the hardened blood of the Medusa. Set in fine metal, coral also became apotropaic, often worn on the necks of children that extended past ancient times.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eAkin to the lightning bolt of destruction in The Tower, Medusa embodies this energy with her death gaze. Wearing these talismans brings this duality of nature to their wearer: her head as a symbol, became a protectionary talisman, while in life, she was a force of destruction; horror and death. The energy of both beauty and terror exists within us, much as the snake has the power of its deadly venom as well as the power to heal.  Beauty and Terror.
