Spirit Messenger: Etched Copper Dragonfly Pendant #4
Do you find yourself drawn to the iconic symbol of the dragonfly? Have you held your breath in awe and fascination as a dragonfly alighted upon your hand? Iridescent bodies soaring and darting through the warm summer air on shimmering gossamer wings have mesmerized us since childhood. Itâs no wonder that this beautiful, fragile looking insect is so beloved by many. But what is the symbolism behind this mysterious winged creature?
In North American Zuni Indian lore, the dragonfly is revered as a messenger who carries prayers from our world to the spirit world. Some Native American tribes hold the belief that ancestral spirits travel through the veil between these two worlds riding on the backs of the dragonfly. Collectively throughout most cultures it is a symbol of transformation, rebirth, strength and harmony.
Over 300 million years ago, there existed a formidable ancestor of the beloved dragonfly and it boasted a wingspan of two and a half feet! Although our present-day version is thankfully only a fraction of his ancient counterpart, donât be fooled by his unassuming grace â¦for it is a lesser-known fact that the glorious dragonfly is also a ferocious hunter and a fierce opponent.
In contrast to the dragonflyâs ferocity, the delicately hand-drawn reeds and dragonfly on this copper teardrop pendant stand out in relief against the darkened background, capturing the grace and beauty of this magical creature. The sterling silver bail is wide enough to accept virtually any chain you may already have and the soft Greek leather cord ends in a sterling silver lobster clasp.
Will your dragonfly pendant serve as a connection between you and a loved one who has passed on? Will he symbolize a transformational period in your life? Or has his simple beauty just captured your heart?
