REAL SCOTTISH DEER ANTLER PENDANT / NECKLACE
VIKING RUNE NECKLACE
 
Created within sacred space and blessed in a ceremony. Antlers are sourced from the Scottish Highlands. 
 
NJORD SYMBOLISM:
Njord (pronounced “NYORD;” Old Norse Njörðr, whose meaning/etymology is unknown) is one of the principal gods of the Vanir tribe of deities. Njord was particularly associated with wealth, fertility, the sea, and seafaring in the Vikings’ religion. A saying among the Norse peoples held especially wealthy people to be “as rich as Njord.”
 
RAIDHO (VIKING RUNE) SYMBOLISM:
Wagon, travel by land, momentum, rhythm, and a journey. Raidho is a journey and the power that keeps us moving forward towards our chosen destination. According to Thorsson, Raidho is the “channelling of force according to natural laws along the right road leading to the right result.” Raidho is the conscious decision to achieve something, and the discipline to carry it out. The rhythm is found when your forward movement is in harmony with your purpose.
 
DEER SYMBOLISM:
In general, the Deer symbolism is often a sign that you should not be too hard on yourself. In other words, you must calm the voice of the self-critic and treat yourself with gentleness and understanding. Thus, the Deer meaning prompts you to be yourself and continue along your path. Moreover, seek out your inner treasures and use them generously to help those around you. This spirit animal also teaches that you must trust that kindness and graciousness will be well received. This creature is also a messenger of serenity, can see between shadows, and can hear unsaid words. Thus, the Deer symbolism teaches us to maintain our innocence and gentleness so that we can share our open-heartedness with others.
The deer’s antlers are one of the characteristics that have made it a figure of spiritual superiority, according to some. Like a crown, the antlers grow beyond its body, bringing it closer to the sky and making it sacred. In many cultures, the deer is a symbol of spiritual authority. During a deer’s life, the antlers fall off and grow again and the animal is also a symbol of regeneration.
 
I value the gifts given by the Spirits and always hold gratitude ceremonies for them. I carefully listen to the Earth and the Spirits to express what needs to be created at any given time.
Every single item created here is unique in its own way, so if you are looking for perfection, then unfortunately I can't offer that, as every imperfection is beautiful in its own way.

I am very passionate about caring for the environment and I will always try to use ethical packaging that isn't harmful to the Earth and all living beings.
