Wolf" #FC399
- $75 plus s/h | |||||||||||||
Paula says - "This amazing wolf was living in the stone with this fossil seashell for eons until Clayton and Abby Quam Panteah saw it and brought it out! "Fetishes carved from ancient fossils will often show fissures and cracks. Sometimes the fossil is so fragile that when being carved, the rock splits partially or completely across. In a few cases the pieces have been reunited which adds to their wabi-sabi. After all, these specimens are millions of years old!! | ||||||||||||||
What is a Fetish? A fetish is a rock carving of an animal that captures the spirit and the essence of the animal, not necessarily its exact detailed conformation. Every fetish and every stone is different and has its own unique features. Read more about fetishes. WOLF: The wolf teaches great dignity, courage, powerful Spirit communications, instinct and intelligence. Deep family connection and importance, stealth, wisdom, and extreme endurance. The wolf is a powerful ally on our Spiritual Journeys. Ammonite - An ammonite is a member of an extinct group of marine animals that, although they look more like a chambered Nautilus shell, they are related to the octopus, squid and cuttlefish. They first appeared 400 million years ago and became extinct with the dinosaurs, 65 million years ago. Wabi-sabi is the art of finding beauty in imperfection, of accepting natural growth, decay, and death. It reveres authenticity above all else. Wabi-sabi celebrates cracks and crevices and all the other marks that time, weather, and loving use leave behind. It reminds us that we are all but transient beings on this planet-that our bodies as well as the material world around us are in the process of returning to the dust from which we came. |
