I have a bit of a story to go with this share. I had been shopping around for an amulet that I felt comfortable wearing 24/7 and could easily tuck under my shirt collar if I were in unsafe spaces. I ran across a shop, I think it was called the dark carnival, and they had this listed as a norse helm of awe and norse compass charm. Stainless steel, about five years old now and I added the moonstone honoring an old friend of mine that passed away last year. Rest in peace, Ogre, you are missed.
@CinnamonGirlE I loved the ygdrassil design of the wire work and I felt it fit Ogre and his love for natural spaces and his pagan influences quite nicely. I'm sure he would have loved to see it himself.
@PaganMother
It's a beautiful and a special way to honor your friend and keep them close.
@CinnamonGirlE I loved him dearly, met years ago online he came to the rescue when I really needed the help.
@PaganMother
I have a friend like that myself, but fortunately he is still here. Glad we both have experienced it.
@CinnamonGirlE Friends like that are quite rare. Hang tight onto them.
@PaganMother
He is my very best friend. I can't foresee that changing.
@PaganMother Very nice! Hugs 🤗
@PaganMother beautiful, love the compass. I wear a replica Mjölnir all the time. One question I have. why would you need to hide these when in 'unsafe spaces'? Would you be judged?
@Booga Yes unfortunately, I live in a heavily christianized area and any symbols that are associated with paganism receive a good bit of disparagement and unnecessary hate. Had a coworker a while back try to tell me "going to church will cure ya of depression ECT.." and I whipped out my amulet to get her to knock off the religious bullshit, ended up leaving that job after she pushed me into a complete nervous breakdown with her stupidity. (2016-still not employed since.)
@PaganMother I suspected as much. I am so glad and lucky to live in an extremely tolerant country, in the main.
I'm sorry that you had to go through that.
@Booga It is what it is, unfortunately America by average is heavily Christian populated and tolerance here is not really as prevaliant so should be.
@PaganMother
Gorgeous pieces. Moonstone is a fav.
