Sigil
Pendant
Runes in the World of the Vikings: In former times runes were utilized by the northern people as a magic language. They were used to write down messages as well as to prepare talismans and charms which were needed for telling the future and other magic rituals. In old northern languages the word rune means concealed law, secret and magic sign. Runemasters - a profession, which could be chosen by men as well as by women - were, second to the leader of the village, the most important members of the community. One could recognize them by their deep blue capes and their amulet bags made of leather they carried on their belts. Furthermore the runemasters normally carried a wooden stick with a bronze head, in which rune signs were carved, as a symbol of their power and status. The pendants of this rune collection were inspired by the natural shape of rocks and made of lead-free pewter, which is associated with earth. Each pendant comes with a black cord.
The Meaning of the Rune Sigil: The shape of this rune symbolizes a flash, as it is e.g. emitted by our life-giving sun and therefore Sigil stands for the days which are getting longer while the season is coming closer to summer. For that reason Sigil is also the rune of the Nordic God of Light Baldur and the Sun Goddess Sol - and in addition it corresponds in many apects with the tarot card "The Sun". Being one of the most positive runes Sigil brings health and vitality into life, enhances understanding and clear thoughts and grants the power needed for a certain task. It stands for the positive aspects of power and energy and promises hope, optimism and self-confidence through the prospect of success.
Example of a Rune Spell from a Grimoire of White Magic: 1. Purificatio (Cleaning): In order to clear all adhering energy frequencies the rune should be covered with salt and kept overnight in a safe place before it is charged with energy. 2. Preparatio (Preparation): Keep ready incense, a compass and a white candle and cover a table with a white cloth in a quiet room. In order to easily absorb the energies of this earth ritual the rune should perferably be made of a metal, which is associated with earth. Black out the room and take care that you will not be disturbed: Place yourself with the help of your compass in front of the table so that you face north, since the power of our Mother Earth flows from the northern direction. Put the incense and the white candle in the middle of the table, ignite both and place the rune next to them. 3. Potestatem Facere (Charging): Close your eyes, hold your hands above the rune and meditate for a while over its meaning. Now send the power of your thoughts through your hands into the piece of jewelry and then deeper into the earth, penetrate the surface, wander through the realm of rocks and roots until you have reached the centre of Mother Earth. Feel the fiery energy of the element earth in front of your inner eye then drag it upwards into your body - now feel the heat in your body and take the rune in your hands. The pendant will absorb the whole earth energy until it completely vanishes from your body - during this once again reflect over the meaning of this rune. 4. Salvatio (Reorientation): Have a meal and recover for a short while in order to bring your body back to this world.

About us
We were always fascinated by pieces of jewelry designed according to historical artwork and magical and other old motifs are a main area of our jewelry collection until today. Nowadays we all are surrounded by designs and motifs from all over the world which we usually choose according to visual aspects without considering the original meaning and symbolism of the various depictions. For sure the beauty of the different designs and materials is a good reason for selecting them but the affinity to a special piece of jewelry or art craft can be enhanced if one knows its deeper meaning and its origin. For this reason we always placed value on the accurate representation and information explaining the various pieces of jewelry in our collection.
Since the beginning of mankind jewelry served several different purposes. Already before the invention of money it was for example used as a kind of currency, as a status symbol or as a valuable asset that even could be passed on to future generations. Many pieces of jewelry also had a functional purpose like it is the case with fastenings for clothes, safety pins and belt buckles. However, at a more spiritual level the jewelry also had a symbolic meaning, showed the affiliation to and the status in a social group, and was worn for the protection from evil or simply to show one's own taste.
Since jewelry is such a diverse cultural asset the meaning of a given piece can depend on the point of view and beliefs of its creator. For example many cultures developed pieces of jewelry showing to others whether its wearer is married or single: In our Western world these are the wedding rings while in African countries e.g. special bracelets or necklaces are worn for this purpose. Whether we are talking about weddings jewelry or talismans and amulets that were used for protection - often the decorations and materials determine the symbolic meaning of a piece of jewelry.
Not only the used symbols and decorations differ strongly between the cultures - a huge number of different materials were also used in the course of time. In the beginnings especially shells and pearls of wood and bone were used, because these natural materials were readily available and could easily be processed. Later the precious metals silver and gold became more and more important and also the use of precious stones increased. Nowadays all possible materials are used to underline the meaning of a piece of jewelry even further thereby creating pendants and other jewelry that could not be designed using traditional materials.
