Spiral Medicine Copper Pendant #5
Spiral petroglyphs (carvings) and pictographs (drawings) are found in remnants of virtually every ancient civilization throughout the world. Although we can’t travel back in time to ask those ancient peoples what significance the spiral held for them, in the present day there are two (of many) widely accepted interpretations of the implied meaning of this symbol.
First, this symbol is seen as a path spiraling outward, representing growth and expansion. In the reverse, the spiral represents a journey inward, from outer consciousness toward inner spirit (God, Higher Consciousness, Universal Spirit, Source).
Mother Nature must surely have been the inspiration behind the spiral’s prevalence in our ancestors’ lives. Spirals are everywhere in nature… ferns and flowers unfurling, snail shells, seashells, whirlpools, tornados, galaxies, embryos, animal horns, our own DNA … it is a nearly endless and awe-inspiring list. Is it any wonder this symbol has held special meaning throughout time and history?
What will this hand-wrought copper spiral pendant symbolize for you? Strung on a soft, 1.8mm brown Greek leather cord, your pendant is removable and the generously sized top loop will accept many other chains or cords you may already have. The clasp is made of sterling silver and both clasp and pendant may be gently buffed with a silver polishing cloth when needed.
