TRIPLE MOON GODDESS
The Triple Moon is one of the Triple Goddess symbols - the Divine Feminine as Maiden, Mother, and Crone; as the Moon in her waxing, full, and waning phases.
The Triple Moon symbolizes all the aspects of female Power united: intuition and psychic insight, creative energy, wisdom and mystery.
This is my rendition of the Triple Moon Goddess in Sterling silver. It is a pendant, 54mm long, 19 mm wide and weighs 5 1/2 grams with a single loop on the back for a chain or cord.
It can also be ordered as a pin.
You can choose it set with garnet or with moonstone.

SUN / MOON PENDANT
This bronze pendant has both the sun and the moon shown together. It is about balance, the solar and the lunar energies, masculine and feminine, yin and yang. Both the sun and the moon bring very powerful primal energies into our lives, but very different energies. This piece shows those energies united.
The pendant measures 3 cm or 1-1/4 inches wide and has a wide loop on the back for a chain or cord.

INCA TRINITY
This piece was inspired by our visit to the Sacred Valley in Peru. The condor, puma and serpent is a commonly seen motif in this area. It dates back to the time of the Incas. In Inca cosmology the condor represents the upper world, the world of spirit. The puma represents the middle world, our everyday plane of existence. The serpent symbolizes the lower world, the depths, the subconscious.
The three stepped pyramid is a symbol for all three worlds. I have used the three stepped pyramid for the background with the puma in front of it, the condor above, and the serpent circling all.
The Incas believed that to live a happy fulfilling life it was necessary to keep these three aspects of existence in balance. I created this piece as a reminder of that.

HUNAB KU
The "Galactic Butterfly” or Hunab Ku or "Mayan Butterfly" is a beautiful symbol of balance, similar to the yin yang symbol. My rendering of this symbol is in bronze with a wide loop on the back for a chain or cord. It is 30 mm across.
The earliest known appearance of this design is in the 16th century Codex Magliabechiano, an Aztec document . Although It has recently been associated with the Mayan sun god and is widely used throughout the world for the Maya glyph of the Higher Consciousness or Galactic Center it has not actually been found among Mayan artifacts.

Guadalupe has been an important healing presence in my life.

This pendant is 4cm x 1 1/2cm and has a loop on the back for a chain or cord.

EQUAL ARMED CROSS
The equal arm cross is an ancient symbol of balance and wholeness. It is also referred to as the square cross, the balanced cross, the peaceful cross,or the Greek cross when it predates Christianity. It is often interpreted as representing either the four seasons, four winds, or four elements. An equal-armed cross within a circle represents the planet Earth in traditional astrology.
I have used a simple Celtic knot to form the arms of the cross. I make this piece set with either a garnet or a labradorite in the center. It is cast in Sterling silver and is 31mm across. The loop at the top is 3mm to accommodate a chain or cord.

KNOT OF ETERNITY
This knot is from Nepal, where it is called the Knot of Eternity. I carved the original out of antler with knives and a file back in the mid 70's after a friend of mine brought me one when he returned from Nepal. In 2008 I rediscovered the original and decided to have a mold made of it so that it could be cast. You can see the texture from the original antler piece on the back of the casting.
This pendant is cast in bronze and is 1 3/4 by 1 1/8 inches. It has two loops on the back to attach it to a cord or chain.

CHAKRA PENDANTS
I have created chakra pendants for each of the individual chakras. The designs are based on traditional symbols for the chakras and the stones used are the stones to energize that particular energy center. I make these pendants in both bronze and sterling silver.
