Amulets by Ra

I have been driven to work in my studio over the past couple of days. In particular I wanted to make the Egyptian Heart amulet for a friend of mine. So due to lack of time, my writing has had to take a back seat. I have tried to discipline myself to writing a new post every week and completing at least one design for my Cafe Press store. When the desire to go into the workshop gripped me I was worried that I would become too distracted and break my pace. I found though that by deviating off my regular path and doing what I felt a strong desire to do, I have felt truer to my goal of bringing the magical world of symbols and their uses into the modern world. My personal path feels like it is becoming clearer and gaining strength.

If you would like to have an amulet made you are most welcome to contact me via e-mail. (go to the contact page)

I work in many different materials and I love to explore new ones. I also love researching symbols to suit particular requirements. There is no limit really, only time constraints, so for now I do like to keep the amulets quite simple.

Symbolic Jewellery

Wearing jewellery is a symbolic act. What you choose to wear may say a lot about what you believe, what is dear or important to you, and of course your taste.

It makes sense that throughout history we have worn our symbols close to our bodies in the form of jewellery. That way we can remain connected to our personal meaning through a physical representation of what symbolises that meaning. We don’t have to leave it on our altar or on the wall at home.

My wedding ring is my most precious piece of jewellery and is of course a symbol of the wonderful bond I have my husband.

What sort of jewellery do you wear? Does it serve a purpose for you? What aspects of your personality does it represent? What or who does it connect you to?

I find by asking these questions of myself I bring some of my unconscious aspects to the surface, which gives me a better understanding of who I am.
