Since the dawn of time, power jewelry, or a talisman, has been used to strengthen its owner’s own power or to bring happiness.
Power jewelry also brings amulets to mind. Amulets are seen more as protection and are, perhaps, engraved with protective symbols. Power jewelry is actively used with a definite intention, for example, to unify oneself with a power object’s indwelling power. Power jewelry or talismans may be made from crooked roots, parts of animals’ bodies, bone, horn, mussel or snail shells, small snake bones, claws from birds, or ancient materials like swamp oak, amber, mammoth tusk and fossils, as well as stone and crystal.
The word talisman comes from Arabic/Late Greek and means “consecrated object” A talisman can also be a bag holding medicinal herbs and other power objects experienced as having special meaning and power.
Our power jewelry is, thus, created with its point of departure in Animism, as well as with consciousness that everything is animated and that its indwelling power is accessible and cooperative.
