Stainless Steel necklace double axe pendant
$38.00
This necklace is entirely made up of stainless steel including the clasp and findings. The chain is approx. 19″ long. The pendant is 1.5″ tall and 3/4″ wide approximately. Use the Drop down menu if you want a different length of chain.
The double axe holds historical meaning from the Ancient Minoan Culture and the Amazon Warriors in Greek Mythology.
The double headed axe was called a Labrys. It stood for power, authority, strength, fertility, divine authority, feminine power.
This pendant is double sided and after examining it for symbols I found 3 ancient symbols.
The arrow is Tiwaz from the Futhark runes and it means: Victory, Success in competition, advancing, justice, leadership, warrior spirit to touch on some of the meaning.
The next symbol I found is Gebo, the X mark on the handle. It is also from the Futhark runes and it means: gift, happiness, partnership, giving, gratitude, bonds of love, heart, compassion, give help, receive a boon, to touch on some of its meaning.
The last symbol I found is the ancient Spiral symbol on the handle. Spirals date back to the Neolithic Period. Predating writing by thousands of years. The oldest known spirals are in Lascaux, France dating back 17,000 years.
Spirals have been found worldwide in single, double or triple spirals being Celtic relating to life, death, rebirth or other concepts that occur in 3’s.
Outside of Europe spirals have been found in Ancient Maori, Mediterranean, North American Indigenous, and African sites. Also found in Ancient Egyptian, Minoan, Mycenaean and Celtic Cultures.
What is the deal with Spirals you ask:
Spirals represent cycles of life, growth and evolving, spirals mimic nature and the cosmos like in ram horns, fern fronds, shells, whirlpools and more. Some spirals represented the womb and fertility. While some indigenous spirals in New Mexico and La Grange represent marking of Solstices and Equinoxes.
In modern times the spiral represents the journey of going within for spiritual growth, for finding wisdom, and coming back out again to relationships and interacting with others.
Either way whether symbolism has personal meaning and value to you or if it’s just a cool design. It will wear well for a long time with basic care.
