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 the ghosts of my griefs which feel like ghosts, like presences I carry around within me. These 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 possibly 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 grief, 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. 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=\"p2\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis listing is for one grief moth paired with our signature bar link chain in the length of your choosing.

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.

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.

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.

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.

When she was consulted, she was thought to have sat upon the three legged tripod of Apollo deep within the subterranean levels of the site of Delphi, which was considered to be the center or ‘navel’ of the world and the site where Apollo slayed Python, son of Gaia, a serpentine\/dragon-like monster. It is from the rotting corpse of Python beneath the temple, that Pythia gets her name. Much like modern divinatory requests, it seems the Pythia was consulted for ubiquitous queries as ‘whom should I marry?” to more history changing questions from rulers about to go to war. In every instance, the Pythia’s divinations were considered to be coming directly from Apollo and therefore unimpeachable, despite those who were unhappy with or would try to argue with the oracles given. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAt the time of my writing this to you, we have surpassed the Winter Solstice here in the Northern part of the world and are in the liminal time before the start of a new year.

The same can be true of the people whom we are devoted to, friends, lovers and family members alike. This ring is a reminder to look to the horizon for steadiness in these moments, for the hope of calm. People can be our horizon as well, those who love us and are devoted to us, can be our anchor when we feel adrift and heartsick. We may feel we are drowning in these murky feelings, but we can also swim ashore, our hearts ever fixed on the horizon, on what can bring us back.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eInspired by sacred devotion, these rings mark what devotion can be to us: we are devoted to the living, the dead, our dreams and our ideas.

Onyx","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eThis ring was originally released in our Immortally Yours Collection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThe Hexagon is the shape used by bees to create honeycomb, an interlocking and efficient geometry. The strongest shape found in nature, the hexagon balances weight and the distribution of stress evenly.\u003cspan class=\"Apple-converted-space\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eThis strength and interconnectedness can be applied to devotion, as a physical representation of a strong foundation and scaffolding between romantic partners and friends. It can also been a talisman for the industriousness and intelligence of bees when considering a devotional commitment or  practice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eHistorically, bees and their hive were an important part of the family. To “Tell the Bees” is considered an ancient practice, traced as far back as Hellenistic Greece, perhaps even earlier. Hives and bees were an important part of life as honey and beeswax were valuable goods - beeswax provided a clean burning material for candles to bring light into small dark places - an apt metaphor for lighting the way in dark times and dark spaces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThe oracle site at Delphi was said to have been created by bees; even the Pythia were referenced as 'bee oracles'. While much has been written about how the Pythia's trance-like states were induced, one possible theory links their prophecy to the consumption of 'mad honey.' Known in Turkey as \u003cem\u003edeli bal \u003c\/em\u003ewhere it was ( and is ) harvested, and \u003cem\u003emeli chloron \u003c\/em\u003eor 'green honey' in Ancient Greece. It behaves as a psychoactive, due to bees feeding on native \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003erhododendron plants\u003c\/span\u003e. In small doses in can bring on feelings of euphoria, intoxication and hallucinations, in larger doses it causes a variety of unpleasant symptoms and in rare cases, death. The poison is in the dosage. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThe practice of Telling the Bees, involved all major life events, keeping them included as one would with any other close family member. They were told of marriages, births, \u0026amp; perhaps most well known, deaths. The hives were heaved up at the same time the coffin was, and they were also decorated with funerary crepes. Cakes were also fed to the bees after funerals and weddings. It was believed that if a hive was not told of these life events, they would leave the hive, or even die. I like to think people would whisper secrets to the hives they could tell no one else, making the bees secret keepers. In the vein of this idea, use this ring as a talisman for your secrets, whisper them to it and bring it 'alive' as a companion for secret keeping.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eInspired by sacred devotion, these rings mark what devotion can be to us: we are devoted to the living, the dead, our dreams and our ideas. We can find devotion in spiritual callings, whatever that means to you, as well as to the natural world and places that bring us peace.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eSometimes we are devoted to dreams that dissipate and people who disappoint us, who break our hearts. Sometimes we are asked to put our devotion aside. We remain devoted to people even when they have left us, either exiting the relationship or the living world. We are devoted even when we gain nothing in return. We burn with the fire of devotion, and occasionally, it burns us back, threatening to consume us. It can forever mark us. It can leave scars. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eBut also~ it builds us up. We can find reciprocal devotion, even when it is not asked for. We gain purpose in our devotion, fulfillment. We grow our devotion over time, tending to it as we would a garden. There is history, memory, knowledge, skill. A love that can be just ours, or one that is shared. A sense of belonging, peace.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eThese rings can be used as markers of devotion to wear close to the body- objects that can be imbued with spirit, that can become companions in devotion.

My godmother is an auctioneer and took me along to auctions and estate sales. Treasure for me were always the wooden boxes filled with greasy and dirt caked keys, beautiful with their time earned patina, with their memories and silent stories. As a kid, I imagined every beautiful key I came across no matter how small or large, belonged to a haunted house. Even the tiny keys that came with my school fair diary were special to me. Keys have that sort of resiliency that many other sorts of old objects don’t, they survive the wear and tear of misuse, they surface like relics from the muck of time. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKeys are an ancient tool, created first by the Ancient Egyptians in wood and modified by the Romans in metal and made small enough to be kept on a person, coined as the first ‘skeleton keys’. These were used, as now, to lock doors and boxes or 'safes', to protect precious objects and people. Thusly one of the mundane and ubiquitous tool has also come to garner potent symbolism over time and has been woven into a current everyday object that even digital technology can’t seem to make obsolete. At the time of my writing this, I still use metal keys to gain entrance to my apartment and studio; I moved out of a house in Philadelphia in 2020 in one of the oldest parts of the city that still employed the use of skeleton keys. Perhaps the key is an object where the old world and the new continually shoulder up against each other, no matter how much modern technology tries to replace them.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs a talismanic jewel the key is a liminal object representing a potent tension and duality as it can both lock and unlock, making the person who holds the key, one on a threshold.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e*For locking: Being able to lock something behind you will always give the power and feeling of protection, therefore keys will always have the symbolism of protection embedded in them. The first key I can remember owning was a tiny key that fit to a tiny lock that latched onto a diary I owned in elementary school where I kept all of my secrets. This consisted of all of the titles of the books I’d write, but they sounded like spells, things I desperately wanted to change about myself; revenge I’d like to take on bullies. These days, protecting my loved ones, my heart, and extending protection to those I can feels most important to me. Feeling safe and helping others feel safe in my presence is something I'm always thinking about, and the presence of a key against my body helps remind me of these tenants and makes me feel safe.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e*For unlocking: Keys as objects that can 'unlock' show up as symbols across cultures. It’s a symbol of gaining access: for some it's about knowledge and wisdom or about gaining access to higher or unearthly realms: Saint Peter was known to hold the keys to heaven while Hecate is known to hold the keys to the unseen world\/ the gates of death. As an initiatory symbol, it suggests garnering levels of knowledge that lead upwards on your path, or crossing thresholds of the unconscious. It also suggests the ability of survival, of being able to find 'a way out', of reaching a place where you are able to unlock or solve an obstacle that was complex or troubling, such as a Sphinx's riddle. \u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e*Details* :\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e- 60 mm from top to bottom\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- 19 mm at its widest\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e- Solid Sterling Silver  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e-\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBoth 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\u003cspan\u003e- Seen on Miguel on an 18 inch chain \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e- Set with one 12 mm \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003eRose Cut Onyx stone\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eOnyx:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOnyx is best known for being a natural stone that acts as a kind of 'psychic armor' against the negativity of others.

Brought to England in the 1800’s by plant hunters who were fascinated by its unique shape and bright color, the flowers became stars of the Victorian garden boom. There it became part of the language of flowers and was exchanged between those seeking to declare romantic intention, as well as becoming a symbol of enduring affection and undying love due to its shape and seasonal return.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDespite these more romantic associations, it was also associated with heartbreak and unrequited love, both due to the “bleeding” aspect of the flower and as well as folklore from Japan. This folklore tells a tale about a spurned prince who’s death after being rejected from a beautiful maiden caused the plant to grow in the spot where his blood had spilled.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFrom Asia it was introduced to the US, which already had native variants of its own, including the pale white\/pink Squirrel Corn (Dicentra canadensis), known to the indigenous people of Northern America. Used for skin aliments and to ease menstrual cramping, it was also considered food for the spirits by the the Onondaga, as well as a love charm to the Menominee.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eReligious groups associated it with sacrifice and compassion, especially around Easter and Spring, when it returned in bloom; considering the “blood” of the flower to be the blood shed on the cross. There is also some history that a Jesuit priest may have first brought back the Asian Bleeding Heart in the 1700’s before it was popularized in Victorian gardens. This association makes me think of the symbolism of the Sacred Heart, the worship of the disembodied heart of a deity, wounded \u0026amp;amp; bleeding, and yet radiant and strange.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInterestingly, despite and perhaps because of their beauty, all variants of Bleeding Heart flowers are poisonous to animals and humans alike, however are important for early pollinators such as bees who are able to crawl inside the opening of the heart. There’s something about this dualism that intrigues me, poison and love intermingling in a strange and beautiful flower that had originally grown hidden in the woods.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat I have loved most about it, aside from its Victorian associations, is its symbolism with heartbreak. To me they resemble heart shaped lockets overwhelmed and split open by grief, our heart’s blood spilling out ~ our sweetness and our sorrow caught in a single drop that hovers like a pendulum from the portals of our hearts, suspended forever like a lure for someone to collect. The hope that our hearts, no matter how wounded, can be mended, they we can remain tender and vulnerable to others and to the world’s marvels rather than tuck ourselves away in the deep forests of despair.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e*Details* :\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e- 37 mm from top to bottom\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e- 20 mm wide\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- Solid Sterling Silver  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e- Both pendant and chain are hand oxidized to achieve our favorite shade of stormy gray and then highlighted to reveal the bright luminous silver beneath\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e- Set with one 7 x 10 mm pear cut onyx stone\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- Seen on Miguel on an 18 inch chain\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- This Limited necklace is also available with a garnet tear, and can be found \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.bloodmilkjewels.com\/products\/bleeding-heart-garnet-necklace-limited\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"\u003ehere\u003c\/a\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eOnyx:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eOnyx is best known for being a natural stone that acts as a kind of 'psychic armor' against the negativity of others.

The familiar could also be a bird, such as the blackbirds of the crow or raven, or amphibians: toads were historically associated with witches and still are today. However, none are as well known in the collective imagination as the cat, often seen beside the witch of fairytale, folklore and horror alike. Depicted riding astride the witch on her broomstick or nearby her while she concocts potions in her cauldron, these fantastical depictions are not far from what accusers in the witch trials believed familiars were capable of: assisting the witch in all manner of malefic endeavors such as riding to the Sabbath on or as her familiar, using her familiar to curse or hex her neighbors or undertake  other tasks for the witch in her stead. In many cases, women, often women who were anti-social loners, elderly and living alone,  or otherwise occupying the fringes of society in some way, were more apt to keep small animals for companionship. This unfortunately marked “innocent” women as witches during the witchcraze that swept Europe and parts of the US simply for being devoted cat people, as many people are today, for similar reasons. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWhether or not people keep cats today for use as vessels for familiar spirits, Cats have a long history of being revered as powerful creatures.

There, the lives of cats, as elsewhere in Egypt, were protected and their deaths were honored by mummification.

However, none are as well known in the collective imagination as the cat, often seen beside the witch of fairytale, folklore and horror alike. Depicted riding astride the witch on her broomstick or nearby her while she concocts potions in her cauldron, these fantastical depictions are not far from what accusers in the witch trials believed familiars were capable of: assisting the witch in all manner of malefic endeavors such as riding to the Sabbath on or as her familiar, using her familiar to curse or hex her neighbors or undertake  other tasks for the witch in her stead. In many cases, women, often women who were anti-social loners, elderly and living alone,  or otherwise occupying the fringes of society in some way, were more apt to keep small animals for companionship.

Beneath, our smallest key yet, dangles like a tear, forever tethered to its keyhole.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn European folklore, keyholes were considered to be vulnerable points in the home where witches, spirits, supernatural entities and other inhabitants of the unseen realms could slip in. Therefore protections, such as the VV markings representing 'Virgin of Virgins' for the Mother Mary or a key slid in and turned sideways were placed around or within keyholes. This also extended to other areas of the home that were considered vulnerable to unwanted entry, such as hearths, floorboards and windows.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis lore has associated the keyhole with folk practices of protection, imbuing the keyhole with similar qualities to that of the hagstone, a rock with a naturally occurring hole in it from water and time. These stones were used as protection as well as viewfinders; people would press their eye to the stone to be able to 'see' into the spirit or fairy realms. In this way, the keyhole can be similarly used, either as a means of protection, as the keyhole is the more stationary component in the 'locking' of doors or objects, or as a divination object for seeking omens, signs and auguries. This onyx piece occludes this use and is meant as more of a protection amulet\/talisman, especially in combination with Onyx, as a means of 'stuffing' the keyhole or the body's heart while wearing. This is similar to the Ancient Egyptian notion of the Scarab protecting the heart during the 'weighing of the heart' process in the Afterlife.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKeys: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSkeleton keys have long been an obsession of mine. My godmother is an auctioneer and took me along to auctions and estate sales. Treasure for me were always the wooden boxes filled with greasy and dirt caked keys, beautiful with their time earned patina, with their memories and silent stories. As a kid, I imagined every beautiful key I came across no matter how small or large, belonged to a haunted house. Even the tiny keys that came with my school fair diary were special to me. Keys have that sort of resiliency that many other sorts of old objects don’t, they survive the wear and tear of misuse, they surface like relics from the muck of time. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKeys are an ancient tool, created first by the Ancient Egyptians in wood and modified by the Romans in metal and made small enough to be kept on a person, coined as the first ‘skeleton keys’. These were used, as now, to lock doors and boxes or 'safes', to protect precious objects and people. Thusly one of the mundane and ubiquitous tool has also come to garner potent symbolism over time and has been woven into a current everyday object that even digital technology can’t seem to make obsolete. At the time of my writing this, I still use metal keys to gain entrance to my apartment and studio; I moved out of a house in Philadelphia in 2020 in one of the oldest parts of the city that still employed the use of skeleton keys. Perhaps the key is an object where the old world and the new continually shoulder up against each other, no matter how much modern technology tries to replace them.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs a talismanic jewel the key is a liminal object representing a potent tension and duality as it can both lock and unlock, making the person who holds the key, one on a threshold.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e*For locking: Being able to lock something behind you will always give the power and feeling of protection, therefore keys will always have the symbolism of protection embedded in them. The first key I can remember owning was a tiny key that fit to a tiny lock that latched onto a diary I owned in elementary school where I kept all of my secrets. This consisted of all of the titles of the books I’d write, but they sounded like spells, things I desperately wanted to change about myself; revenge I’d like to take on bullies. These days, protecting my loved ones, my heart, and extending protection to those I can feels most important to me. Feeling safe and helping others feel safe in my presence is something I'm always thinking about, and the presence of a key against my body helps remind me of these tenants and makes me feel safe.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e*For unlocking: Keys as objects that can 'unlock' show up as symbols across cultures. It’s a symbol of gaining access: for some it's about knowledge and wisdom or about gaining access to higher or unearthly realms: Saint Peter was known to hold the keys to heaven while Hecate is known to hold the keys to the unseen world\/ the gates of death. As an initiatory symbol, it suggests garnering levels of knowledge that lead upwards on your path, or crossing thresholds of the unconscious. It also suggests the ability of survival, of being able to find 'a way out', of reaching a place where you are able to unlock or solve an obstacle that was complex or troubling, such as a Sphinx's riddle. \u003cspan\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e*Details*:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e- 56 mm from top to bottom of key\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e- 28 mm wide\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e- Solid Sterling Silver \u0026amp;nbsp;\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e- Both pendant and chain are hand oxidized to achieve our favorite shade of stormy gray and then highlighted to reveal the bright luminous silver beneath\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e- Set with one 18 x 30 mm pear cut onyx gemstone\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e- Seen on Miguel at 20 inches and paired with the Unseen ring found here\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOnyx:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eOnyx is best known for being a natural stone that acts as a kind of 'psychic armor' against the negativity of others.
