Ancient Clay Spindle Talisman
$145.00
These beautiful Clay Spindle Whorl Kievan Rus 900-1100 A.D./ Viking Age, were a rare find on my part and I as a weaver and lover of textiles both ancient and modern was thrilled to find them, and even more delighted to sit down and make them into small talismanic necklaces for those so inclined to wear something like this. I aim imagining my weaver and spinner friends.
My inspiration was essentially to bring a small piece of history close to us, as well as imbuing a little bit of magic into their creation with the use of specific stones and intention setting.
The intention/blessing was simple: “May the cloth and thread of those who wear these talismans ever be strong and may their strings never tangle, may there always be magic in all they create and may they never forget the ancestors who went before that taught us all we know about this sacred craft.”
The stones used in this piece are: Brown Stone Canyon Jasper is said to be deeply connected to Mother Earth and offers protection, security, healing, and nurturing.
I have also added four ancient Fossilized Mammoth Bone beads are said to be a symbol os ancient power and resilience as well as connecting us to the ancient past our ancestors and of course it is said that having a small piece can bring to you wearer the spirit of the mammoth can act as a guardian, offering protection and strength to those who possess a mammoth bone.
