Pendant in Vegetable Ivory - Hunab Ku
Tao (道 literally the Way or the Path; pinyin transliteration: dào - in Japanese: dō), often translated as The Principle, is one of the main concepts of Chinese Philosophy. It is the eternal, essential and fundamental force that flows through all the matter of the Universe, living or not.
It is usually associated with Taoism, but Confucianism also refers to it. To put it in a word, the Tao "is".
In traditional Chinese Taoist philosophy, the Tao has the fundamental function of representing the universe. The latter at the beginning of time was in a state called Wu Chi ( = absence of differentiations/absence of polarity). At a certain point two polarities of different signs were formed that represent the fundamental principles of the universe:
- Yang the positive, masculine principle, represented in white.
- Yin the negative, feminine principle, represented in black.
Dimensions: 2.8 cm
Complete with a black waxed cotton cord adjustable with a sliding knot.
Material
Corozo, or "Vegetable Ivory" or "Tagua", is made from the dried seed of the tropical plant "Phytelephas macrocarpa" usually called the elephant plant (Phytos = plant, elephas = elephant).
The plant, similar to that of the coconut, grows in the humid equatorial belt of central South America (Ecuador).
Each plant produces 8-10 inflorescences a year that contain 250 seeds each. When fresh, they contain a milky white liquid that, after 9 months of maturation, solidifies and transforms into a white material completely similar to animal ivory.
Corozo nuts, after drying, are cut into slices. The turned slice becomes a washer with regular measurements.
The original color, from optical white to antique ivory, must be considered "the natural" par excellence.
Dyeing with natural earths emphasizes the shape and highlights its unrepeatable and extraordinary veins very similar to root wood.
Pendant in Vegetable Ivory - Fibonacci Spiral
The “Fibonacci Spiral” is a circle in the wheat that appeared at Stonehenge in Wiltshire, UK, on the night of 07/07/1996.
Dimensions: 2.8 cm
Complete with an adjustable black waxed cotton cord with a sliding knot.
In the Fibonacci spiral (Pisa 1180-1250), each term is given by the sum of the two preceding ones: 1,1,2,3,5,8,....
The peculiarity of these numbers is that the ratio between two successive terms approaches the decimal number 0.618, also known as the Golden Number, and is defined as the ratio of the golden section, or golden proportion.
It is considered a representation of the universal law of harmony.
It was widely used by the ancient Greeks in the architectural construction of the Parthenon in Athens and the Egyptian pyramids.
The dimensions of Leonardo da Vinci's Mona Lisa are in the golden ratio.
We find the same ratio in Bach's “fugues,” Mozart's sonatas, Beethoven's Fifth Symphony, Schubert's Sonata in D major D 959, and Stravinsky's The Rite of Spring.
The Golden Spiral has an intrinsic beauty and is present in many aspects of the natural world and art.
What makes the Golden Spiral even more fascinating is its widespread presence in nature.
It manifests in the structure of DNA, the growth of many organisms, and the arrangement of the planets in the solar system.
The golden proportion can be observed in many life forms and natural patterns, proving its universal presence.
In summary, the Fibonacci sequence and the Golden Spiral represent two fascinating mathematical and geometric concepts, whose beauty and importance are reflected both in art and human aesthetics, and in the mysteries and harmonies of the natural world.
What are circles in the wheat?
Circles in the wheat date back at least to 1920, if not earlier (the oldest reports found so far date back to 1590).
They appear all over the world (in 1997 in the USA, Australia, Brazil, Canada, Croatia, the Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, Germany, the Netherlands, Belgium, and England).
Some circles appeared in a field surrounded by infrared cameras and motion detectors; no human activity was detected. At least a dozen people testified to having seen formations created before their eyes.
In one case — Vivien & Gary Tomlinson — this event was accompanied by an extremely loud noise like "Pan pipes," which even perforated Vivien's eardrums.
The nodes on the stems of the plants in the formations often show an elongation or nodal growth far beyond explainable natural causes, such as phototropism or negative geotropism.
Sometimes, wide holes or “expulsion cavities” are evident, where moisture caused them to burst. Over 90% of the samples studied each year from the formations show microscopic holes in the nodal cells, indicating a microsecond heat flash. Some plants in the formations were found covered in a thin layer of charcoal.
Seeds from a formation show marked differences in germination compared to control samples. The germination speed is sometimes greatly increased, or slow and inconsistent, or the seed refuses to germinate at all.
Some stems, which are beyond the stems of the perimeter, are drawn into the current - this does not happen when the formation is created with boards or rollers. It has been observed on many occasions that particular stems of another crop, or sometimes of other plants, such as thistles, remain standing, while the wheat lies flat. The first English formations were often found in oilseed rape, in which the stems are found bent. This is an effect impossible to fake, since rape stems are very fragile.
Some samples taken from the formations continue to bend until they form a 360-degree spiral. In 1995, the Agricultural Development and Advisory Service found an increase in nitrogen/nitrate ratios within some formations, but the ADAS department that conducted the tests was immediately silenced.
Since then, this research has been resumed by Jim Lyons, who in 1998 stated that once again the results indicated an increase, and that they would soon be published. (I still haven't found them).
Two separate groups of experiments have been carried out showing that clocks placed inside the formations lose or gain time compared to those placed outside. Magnetic effects can be detected in some formations using a compass, which can deviate by several degrees from true north.
If a magnet is dragged around the formation, iron particles are sometimes found attached to it. Partially melted particles of meteoric magnetite have also been found in a sample broken apart by centrifuge.
It has been noted that many electronic devices break down inside the formations, including cameras, television equipment, batteries, and tape recorders. They often work perfectly a step away from the formation. Many television crews have picked up heavy interference. Cell phones, if the batteries work, often do not transmit or receive if they are inside the formation.
Even combine harvesters have broken down several times while harvesting the formations. Many photographic anomalies have occurred in the formations, but the most inexplicable one shows a ghost effect in part of the image; people photographed inside a formation are recorded in two images, but in the ghost image their relative positions have changed!
Lucy Pringle announced the results of a test in which melatonin levels in 2 subjects rose significantly after visiting a formation. Melatonin is produced in the pineal gland, and it has many effects, including production by the pituitary gland, and therefore the hypothalamus, these last 2 in turn, which inhibit the production of the gonad hormone. Melatonin can also cause euphoria and REM sleep — the dream state that corresponds to theta activity in the brain. There may also be a connection with magnetic anomalies, since Serena Roney Dougal discovered that electromagnetic fields can influence the production of melatonin.
Many people have reported seeing luminous globes at night, above the wheat fields where new formations are discovered the next day. Many videos of globes of light in the formations have been recorded, apart from the infamous Oliver’s Castle video.
Even crop-circle hoaxers have admitted to encountering ‘flashes of light, columns of light, and globes of light‘ while they were in the wheat fields. Lucy Pringle reports having brought many people with arthritis and rheumatism inside the formations who, she claims, subsequently improved. A woman suffering from Parkinson's disease stopped shaking for 24 hours, and a deaf person permanently regained their hearing.
According to Glenn Broughton and Steve Page, who continued the research started by Brian Grist, 90% of the formations in southern England lie on aquifers (rocks that carry water — mainly gypsum, limestone, and green sand). Wheat in a genuine formation is often found in a layered configuration, with each layer turning in a different direction.
Some of the smaller outer circles are often found rolled into cones with a hole in the center — the stems are woven together like "corn dollies" (wheat dolls?). Another effect is packaging, in which the wheat is twisted into bundles where it is laid out, with the leaves wrapped around groups of 4 or 5 stalks.
The Grasdorf formation in Germany (1992) recorded a radiation level 76% above the legal workplace safety level in Germany; it later dropped to a lower level, which is normally impossible - radiation levels are normally constant. Michael Hesemann suggested the possibility that the Geiger counter was detecting “an energy hitherto unknown.”
A hum of 5 - 5.2 KHZ, or a “buzzing” noise has been heard and recorded in many formations. It was detected by a BBC sound technician, and recorded on his tape, shortly before his camera broke down. Although it is said that the sound is identical to the call of the skylark, the BBC tape was analyzed by a NASA specialist, who stated that it is not a bird's song.
Furthermore, in the famous UFO case of Billy Meier, in 1975—76, Meier recorded a hum of 5.2 KHZ. The “Julia Set,” a fractal figure of 151 circles that was found at Stonehenge in July 1996, appeared on a clear day, between 5:30 and 6:15, according to a pilot who flew over the area, and who returned 45 minutes later. Two other witnesses — a farmer, and a security guard at Stonehenge confirmed that that day there was absolutely nothing little before in that place. In some formations, flies have been found attached to the wheat, by the wings, as if the wings had partially melted, or with the tongue.
Sometimes in the formations you find a sticky white substance, or white crystalline powder or sometimes a white substance similar to cobwebs that reminds of the "angel hair" related to UFOs. Dr. Levengood examined some of these substances, and found a silicon-hydrogen compound that forms at a temperature of over 3000 degrees Celsius.

Pendant in Vegetable Ivory - Sun Moon
The Sun Moon is inspired by the model proposed by Tao, representing the Sun identified as the masculine principle and the Moon identified with the feminine principle.
The Sun is the symbol of the Light of God, of the vitality that is splendidly reflected upon the Moon, symbolized by the Earth, as a mirror of the mystics, which manifests and incorporates the Light; the moon is also the darkness, intuition, and the mutability of forms.
Sun and Moon represent the alternation and balance of day and night, of black and white, of activity and rest, and the dialectic of opposites.

The four-leaf clover is one of the best-known and most widely used symbols of luck. Finding or receiving a four-leaf clover as a gift is believed to bring good fortune.
Some believe that placing one under your pillow will bring good dreams.
According to legend, each leaf represents something: the first for hope, the second for faith, the third for love and, of course, the fourth symbolizes luck.
For the Druids, the four-leaf clover was powerful against evil spirits. The oldest literary reference to the four-leaf clover seems to date back to 1620, with the first record of it as a lucky charm.

The Myth
For Jung's followers, the Sun means, in a female horoscope, the Animus, that is, the unconscious male image, and, in a male horoscope, the personal Shadow, that is, the repressed unconscious values. According to mythology, the Sun is represented by the god Apollo, who takes on its appearance. Apollo was, in Greek art, as Ducati said, "the ideal model of youth with a luminous intellect in a body impeccable in the freshness of flesh and the iron vigor of muscles". He can send diseases and heal with his arrows, which are at the same time beneficial or harmful, like the rays of the Sun.
Just as the excessive summer heat of the Sun is harmful to plants and animals, Apollo's anger can be fatal, as is revealed in the myth of Hyacinth. In every Leo there is the archetype of Apollo, and every Leo can go through this stage, just as in every Leo there is the archetype of Hercules, and they can go through this phase. Hercules was the most famous and popular of the Greek heroes, the protagonist of an endless number of legends. The myth says he was the son of Zeus and Alcmene, the wife of Amphion, whom Zeus fell in love with and whose honesty he deceived by presenting himself under the appearance of her absent husband. The goddess Hera, extremely jealous, felt a deep hatred for Hercules even before he was born, to the point of delaying his birth, to prevent him from coming into possession of the kingdom of Mycenae. At a few months old, Hercules strangled two snakes sent by Hera to kill him. The story tells that, with the complicity of Zeus and Athena, Hercules managed, through deception, to be nursed by Hera herself while she slept. The goddess, upon waking, pushed the child away, and the milk that splashed formed the Milky Way. However, the little milk Hercules took from the goddess was enough to give him immortality and apotheosis.
The Characteristics
He has the royalty and the qualities of the king of the forest from which he takes his name; he is authoritarian, bold, energetic; even when he presents himself in an opaque, aloof, neurotic way, he is actually trying to distinguish himself from the crowd, not to blend in.
Always keep in mind the famous line from Leo Nanni Moretti: "Will people notice me more if I don't go to the party, or if I go and stay alone in a corner without talking?". They are passionate, fiery, intelligent creatures, but often excessive, peculiar, annoying, in this without half measures. Those who live next to them must have the patience and irony to smooth out the corners, remembering that the generosity of a Leo as a friend or partner is munificent, worthy of a king.

Pendant in Vegetable Ivory - Hunab Ku
For the Maya, Hunab Ku was the supreme God and the greatest Creator.
It represented the gateway to other Galaxies beyond our Sun, and all the Consciousness that has ever existed in this Galaxy.
Hunab Ku, according to the Maya, is also the Consciousness that organized all matter, from a “whirling disc,” into stars, planets, and solar systems.
Hunab Ku is the “Mother’s Womb” that continuously gives birth to new stars and gave birth to our own Sun and Planet Earth.
They believed that the “Creator” directed everything that happens in our Galaxy from its center, through the periodic emission of explosions of “Consciousness Energy.”

Formed by many overlapping circles, the Flower of Life is the most well-known and complex form of sacred geometry.
The Flower of Life contains within itself the harmonious energy of creation. The circle symbol itself is considered a representation of infinity, as it has neither beginning nor end; indeed, all forms in the Universe can be inscribed within it.
Everything was created through the pattern of the Flower of Life; every molecule of life, every cell in our body, has this structure at its core. It is the pattern of creation and life in the Universe.
Imagine that the “code” of the Flower of Life is similar to the genetic code contained in our DNA; it is the language through which everything is created. All frequencies are found in this geometric structure, which exists as a holographic pattern and is present in all forms, from atoms to galaxies. The representation of the Flower of Life has been found in many places, in many civilizations, and in different eras.
This symbol mystically connects all the civilizations of the ancient world, linking the most ancient wisdom to its simple harmony.
From Egypt to Tibet, from India to China, from Greece to Spain, we can find traces of this important symbol of knowledge.
Its nature is complex, contrary to its appearance; it contains within itself the deepest secrets: of mathematics, sacred geometry, Platonic solids, and esotericism.
It seems that somehow these ancient civilizations had discovered the mysterious bond that unites man with the heavens and shows us the path to the stars.
Deep truths are hidden within the Flower of Life, truths that encompass the illustrious knowledge of masters of the past such as Leonardo da Vinci, Hermes Trismegistus, and Agrippa, who according to his vision considered man the only being with the honor of participating in all the elements of creation and who, by virtue of his body, can also become part of the angels and the kingdom of God.
The Flower of Life contains within itself everything that exists; it has no interruptions, but rather continues to unfold infinitely in all directions.
