Plant-Based Ivory Pendants

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 matter in 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 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.

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.

The Triple Moon represents the Goddess in her three forms of virgin, mother, and elder (crone).

It is composed of a full moon with a waxing moon to the left and a waning moon to the right.

The triple Goddess in the form of virgin/mother/elder is honored in many pagan traditions.

In some traditions, such as Dianic Wicca, the Triple Goddess is the only deity celebrated. It is very important to remember that the concept of the triple Goddess represented by virgin/mother/elder is first and foremost a neo-pagan and Wiccan concept.

Other ancient cultures did not have the figure of the triple Goddess, although they had trine deities, such as the Morrigan in Celtic culture.

Meaning of the triple moon

The waxing moon is the Virgin, representing purity and new beginnings.

It is the new and active energy of the Goddess's power, the carefree, curious Maiden hungry for experiences. She is free, independent, and is often personified by a Goddess of wild animals and hunting or by a warrior Goddess such as Artemis, the Goddess of the hunt.

In Celtic tradition, her color is white and she is associated with the magic of freedom, courage, and becoming.

The full moon is the Mother, the generator of life, available and compassionate.

This aspect of the Goddess is active power consciously channeled into creativity and creation, which can consist in giving birth to a world, a child, a work, or a work of art.

The Mother is powerful, creative, fertile, brimming with life. She represents the power of a mature woman, capable of creating life and culture. She also symbolizes the power of female sexuality.

Her color in Celtic tradition is red and she is associated with the magic of creativity, fertility, fulfillment, and sexuality.

The waning moon is the Elder, representing the culmination of life in total knowledge and experience.

It is the power of contemplative rest, of internalized creativity that, when desired, can return to express itself outwardly.

She is wise, introspective, and contains the powers of the Maiden and the Mother. Therefore, she is also independent, sensual, and creative, contrary to what is thought of elderly women.

The Crone is the agent of change and transformation that encompasses the mystery of death, the end of the cycle, and has the ability to surrender to darkness.

It is the power of a postmenopausal woman, who possesses the power and wisdom of a full life.

Her color in Celtic tradition is black and she is associated with the magic of transformation, wisdom, letting go, choices, and death.

For many peoples, the Sun was a manifestation of the divinity, but it can also be conceived as the son of the Supreme God and the brother of the rainbow.

The Sun is the source of Light, warmth, and life. Its rays represent the celestial, or spiritual, influences received by the Earth.

Hindu texts consider the Sun the origin of all that exists, the beginning and the end of every manifestation, the one who nourishes.

The Light emitted by the Sun represents intellectual knowledge, and the Sun is cosmic intelligence, just as the heart is in man the seat of everything we learn.

The Sun indeed shows us, after all illusions, reality, the truth of ourselves and of the world.

The Sun makes us more aware of our limits; it is the light of knowledge and the center of energy.

"It is the visible image of Divine Goodness…the Transcendent Archetype of Light."  

--- Dionysius

"There is no visible thing in the whole world more worthy than the sun of serving as a symbol of God, for it illuminates with visible life, first itself, then all celestial and earthly bodies." 

--- Dante

What Is Plant-Based Ivory or Tagua?

Plant-based ivory, also known as tagua or corozo, is a natural material obtained from the seeds of certain tropical palms of the Phytelephas genus, found throughout Central and South America.

As the seed matures, its inner part hardens, taking on a compact consistency and a light appearance reminiscent of animal ivory, although it is entirely plant-based.

Once dried, the seeds can be cut and worked to create small objects, buttons, decorative elements, and jewelry.

The distinctive grain, variations, and natural nuances of corozo give each piece a unique appearance. The colors further enhance the material's surface and structure.

Plant-based ivory therefore represents a plant-based alternative to animal ivory, valued for its natural beauty and versatility in artisanal crafts.

A Natural and Original Personalized Gift

The tagua pendant with an engraved name or dedication is a special gift idea for birthdays, anniversaries, Valentine's Day, Mother's Day, and other important occasions.

Perfect for those who love jewelry made from natural materials, symbols, and personalized accessories, it allows you to preserve a word, date, or message of personal significance.

With Tempo del Sogno, a simple natural seed is transformed into a personalized piece of jewelry capable of telling a story and holding an emotion.

This symbol represents the bond between the luck symbolized by the clover and the love given by the heart.

The official symbol of Ireland is the Celtic harp, but the clover also holds a special meaning for the Irish people, so much so that it is often associated with the green island, sometimes even more than the harp itself.

The shamrock (in Gaelic seamrog = “summer plant”) is a type of clover, the “trifolium repens”, characterized in summer by the blooming of countless little white flowers.

The first time the clover was mentioned in writing was in 1571, although the legendary use made by St. Patrick predates this date by millennia.

According to tradition, St. Patrick used the clover to illustrate the concept of the Trinity to the Celts.

The Myth

The Moon, mistress of the unconscious and imagination, has its domicile in this sign. It is well known that Cancer is the most moody of the zodiac signs. Just as the Moon alternates four different phases in a month, so the Cancerian has imperceptible mood swings. Ancient astronomers, except those from Mesopotamia and the Mediterranean countries, soon discovered the link between the Moon and the tides. In medieval astrology, it was believed that the Moon controlled everything pertaining to water. Perhaps because it was thought that the Moon exerted influences, like the tide, on the liquids circulating in the body and particularly on the brain, it was believed for a long time that the Moon was connected with madness, making people precisely 'lunatic'. Science has also long ago demonstrated the existence of the lunar influence.

Mythology is full of them: lunar deities are indeed very numerous, but they all embody the archetype of the mother. Even the hunting goddess Artemis, the Roman Diana, known for her vengeance against those who, falling in love with her, sought her for her femininity, seems to have indulged her feminine maternal side by visiting the shepherd Endymion at night and bearing many children with him. Latona, the first wife of Zeus-Jupiter, represents the first of the Great Mothers and, like Hecate, is the castrating, oppressive, regressive, and selfish mother who prevents her child from cutting the umbilical cord. The problem of Cancer, often, is that of overcoming the relationship with the parents, accepting one's role, and experiencing reality with one's own eyes. Sicuteri says: "In this sphere are played out the archetypes of the mother and the son, man and the Moon, gestation and birth, the primary object relationship. If in the son always vibrates the ghost of Oedipus, in the Cancerian mother there is always a manifestation of Sophoclean Jocasta". Sophocles tells that Laius, king of Thebes, had a son from Jocasta, his legitimate wife, named Oedipus. Since prophecies had predicted that this son would kill his father by marrying his mother, Laius ordered his killing. Oedipus escaped his fate and was adopted by the king of Corinth, who hid from him that he was not the real father. When, as a young man, Oedipus learned of the predictions, he fled home so that destiny would not be fulfilled, but thus killed the real father, met by chance, and married his widow, Jocasta, the real mother, without knowing it.

In every Cancerian woman, therefore, there would be a mother ready to 'possess' her child in every way. Seasonally too, this sign corresponds to the triumph of the fertilizing, maternal, earthly forces; it is the time when seeds are formed, the grain ripens, and vegetation is at the peak of its splendor: it is the flowering of summer.

The Characteristics

Just as the crab proceeds unstably, now moving forward, now backward, so Cancer lives on memories while maintaining a sense of the present. It is well known that the little animal hides behind its fragile appearance a tenacity beyond the norm; it uses its hooked claws to cling on.

In the same way, the Cancerian is born with a tenacity that goes far beyond mere willpower. The shell, that is, the family, is something that is always carried with them, at least on an emotional and psychological level. They are extremely sweet, homebody individuals, predisposed to family and traditional values, but they are also endowed with an extraordinary analytical and introspective capacity: not for nothing do so many writers belong to this sign.

Plant Ivory Pendant - Tree of Life

"TheTree of Life" is a circle in the wheat that appeared in Winchester, Hampshire, UK on the night of 15/08/2002.

The symbol of the Tree of Life has been the subject of agrogliffs multiple times.

The apple tree as a symbol of the Tree of Knowledge and the Tree of Life has been found in the phenomenon twice in the 2002 season, on July 15 near Alton Barnes and on August 15 in Winchester.

The association between Man and the Tree of Life and Knowledge is obvious if we look at the brain as the crown, the marrow protected by the spinal column as the trunk, and the nerve branches leading to the generative gonads as roots.

In the Hebrew-Kabbalistic tradition, the Tree of Life produces the "Dew of Light" capable of restoring life to the dead. The Dew of Light is the "apple" or "apple-tonina" that represents the fruit of knowledge, that substance which, produced by the pineal gland as the fruit of our cerebro-spinal system, is capable, if reabsorbed, of increasing Man's level of awareness, fueling the vibrational energy of his Light body.

This is why the Dew of Light gave life back to the dead, not in the sense of corpses, but as those dead in Spirit.

And this is why there are two trees in Paradise, as they represent the cerebro-spinal system of Man (Tree of Life) and that of woman (Tree of Knowledge).

The union of these two trees is the primordial reunification, the reintegration of Adam and Eve in Paradise, that is, the return of Man to primordial perfection.

What are crop circles?

Crop circles 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, Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, Germany, Netherlands, Belgium, 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 flutes", 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 every 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 are often found in oilseed rape, in which the stems are found bent. This is an effect impossible to fake, since the stems of oilseed rape 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 picked up by Jim Lyons, who in 1998 stated that once again the results indicated an increase, and that they would soon be published. (I have not found them yet).

Two separate groups of experiments have been conducted demonstrating that clocks placed inside the formations lose or gain time compared to those placed outside. Magnetic effects can be found 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 down 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 been had in the formations, but the most inexplicable one shows a ghost effect in a 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 the melatonin levels in 2 subjects rose significantly after visiting a formation. Melatonin is produced in the pineal gland, and has many effects, including the 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 film.

Even crop circle hoaxers have admitted to having encountered ‘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 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 “trilling” 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 nightingale, the BBC tape was analyzed by a NASA specialist, who stated that it is not the song of a bird.

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 17:30 and 18:15, 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 there is 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.

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 the root.

Laser-engraved plant ivory pendant with the 7th chakra, sahasrara or “crown chakra”

Dimensions: 2.8 cm

Complete with an adjustable black waxed cotton cord with a sliding knot.

Meaning: it is the outstanding ability to think strategically, that is, to embrace the situation with the mind; spiritually, it is communion with the Divine, individually, it is self-realization.

Location: At the top of the head

Function: Universal awareness or pure awareness

Color: Purple and white

Element: Metal

Sense: Empathy

Crystals and stones: Clear quartz, amethyst, diamond

Mantra: Om

Note: Yes

Sahasrara is the seventh of our chakras, also known as the crown chakra because it is located at the very top of our head.

Unlike the other six chakras, it does not govern any organ, but being at the apex of our energy centers, it is responsible for the proper functioning of the cerebral cortex and the pineal gland, as well as our highest forms of thought, such as transcendence, knowledge, and spirituality.

Its Sanskrit name literally means “a thousand times as much,” referring to the thousand petals of a lotus flower that slowly unfold, a metaphor for our personal and spiritual growth that reaches its peak precisely at Sahasrara.

The number one thousand is also very significant in the spiritual practices of Eastern culture, cited in many ancient writings.

The Sahasrara chakra is, in fact, connected to our purest and most selfless feelings, such as altruism, humility, trust, compassion, and forgiveness.

7 chakra meaning

Sahasrara is depicted as a white and purple lotus with numerous filaments, with “a thousand petals” in which all fifty letters of the Sanskrit alphabet are inscribed, repeated 20 times.

Inside it is inscribed a triangle and, in some representations, also the design of a full moon.

The characteristics of the seventh chakra

The element that represents this chakra is metal, and the colors associated with it are white, a symbol of enlightened thought and purity, and purple.

Thanks to the energy of the seventh chakra, we are able to reach transcendental knowledge, that is, the highest and purest form of knowledge that exists: when Sahasrara is balanced, our ability to understand, our consciousness, and our learning benefit from it. Thought evolves and becomes pure, uncontaminated, slowly transforming us from observers to leaders and exercising a profound form of awareness aimed at transcending harmful conceptions and letting things happen through us.

Conversely, when the Sahasrara chakra is blocked, our clear thinking is heavily affected. On a physical level, we are subject to headaches, phobias, psychosis, and in general all types of discomfort that distance us from our path of personal growth.

The energy of the seventh chakra is very powerful, so its malfunction is always associated with very marked discomfort.

From a mental point of view, the closure of Sahasrara leads us to divert our attention to materialism rather than spirituality. We become perpetually dissatisfied and cling excessively to earthly goods, fleeing everything that transcends the physical plane.

People with problems in the seventh chakra often fear death and reject everything that does not have a rational explanation.
