Which Nakshathra relates to you the Most?

At first sight, you would not worry much about this subject, as Nakshathra is an open and shut case for you. You were supposed to be born under a particular Nakshathra, so said your parents and so said astrologers whom your parents consulted years ago. So why you should re-visit the subject and find about which Nakshathra relates you most?

Daily several millions devotees go to temples and make “Archana” a special kind of puja or prayer officiated by priests wherein incantation is made citing personal name along with name of Nakshathra to invoke blessings of the Deity who oversees them. Elsewhere, Nakshathra is compared to find out compatibility of a man and woman before they are married.

Beyond these events analysis of Nakshathra and how it relates to you as a person has never been attempted. Today, interest in Nakshathra is re-kindled due to the straightened circumstances in which you, society, country and in broader sense the world are placed. The concept of Nakshathra as cosmic script dovetailing character and capability is understood and analysed more openly and more critically. There is a via media. Whatever the Nakshathra under which you are born is considered fait accompli and leaving it aside, a different Nakshathra which has most resemblance in terms of attitude, appearance, motivation, goals, characters, capacity and host of other features need to be selected out of 27 such Nakshathra from Hindu system and 28 Lunar Mansions from Arabic system. By and large even the Hindu system is being brought to parallel at the ball park point of 28 after the addition of Abijit as separate Nakshathra.

The search for the right Nakshathra has already begun. You cannot be left out. You have to collate all information available for Nakshathra in general and try to see which one applies you at best. As an alternative you can seek proper counsel in finding out the one that displays the person you are. It is true, that you tend to see quite some relativity in many of the astrological signs, but Nakshathra is different. Either your personality fit in or you do not belong to it. The litmus test is whether features of a particular Nakshathra speaks of the man who claims to have it as his Nakshathra. A degree of quantification is necessary and one can use Pareto theory suitably amended for this purpose. If the line of fits hovers around 80 % then we can accept that a person belongs to a particular Nakshathra

Let me cite a cosmic case study about the “Pushya” Nakshathra. This is the eighth Nakshathra with a symbology of cow’s udder. Appropriately named as “Star of Nourishment” Pushya is marked astronomically with double stars Ascellus Australis and Ascellus Borealis in the Cancer Constellation. Cosmics of these stars speak of nourishment of self as well as nourishing others. Hence, there are two limbs in the Nakshathra. One speaks of a person who loves fruits, sweets and palatable eatables and remaining well nourished. The next limb declares that he is most charitable, marked more for his tendency to feed those who are hungry. To belong to this Nakshathra one must display both these qualities. Any permutations other than this must be rejected. My hypothesis is that either those who have Pushya as stated Nakshathra do not possess these limbs together in their personal profiling or those who are nourishing self or others do not have Pushya as claimed Nakshathra.

What is Cosmic Solution?

A cosmic solution is defined as a series of steps that you take in order to solve a problem or issue that impedes your progress. These steps are recommended to you after studying your problem or issue in depth along with your personal dynamics. Interested then, read on...

You face quite some problems or issues in your day to day life. Of course, you will turn to a specialist in solving your problem say, health or marriage. These specialists would look it from the point of view of their training. Their solutions might work completely or partially or simply fail. But cosmic solution assists you in making many of their recommendation work better. It does not mean that you should not consult, for example, a doctor for your health problem. What it means is that cosmic solution makes the medicine work for you better.

Cosmic solution is developed after carefully considering each of your problem or Issue in isolation and in conjunction with one another. Moreover, it is necessary to treat your problem or Issue as a distinct one requiring a personalised solution. Never, there could be hum – drum generalized solutions. Let us assume that you have a career problem where you are not getting along well with your boss & colleagues. There is nothing wrong in you or in your boss or colleagues. So it is something other than career.

Now you got it. What is lacking is the absence of understanding and evaluating your inner self, which we call personal dynamics or simply as cosmics. As you are aware cosmics are aspects residing within you shaping and influencing your life though these are un-seen and un-noticed by you. For example, if your cosmics dictate that you should open a jewellery business no point of your getting into a business that sells shoes. Harnessing your cosmics and turning it to your own advantage is the key input that is provided in a cosmic solution.

A cosmic solution comprises recommendations relating to several items including gems & crystals, metals, colours, numbers, directions, timing, calling name, signature, logo, symbology, talisman, meditation, incantation of words or mantra and host of others that have some form of vibrations that influence the cosmic resonance either positively or negatively.

When used in cosmic solution gems & crystals are dubbed as cosmic gems. Metals are used to house these cosmic gems in a holders or outers giving rise to what we call as cosmic jewellery. Gem & jewellery alone accounts for 80 % of the cosmic solution. Never the less, the rest of the solution is vital to make cosmic gems and cosmic jewellery to function well.

Ten Types of Pentagram Jewellery

Is pentagram obsession or fad in gem & jewellery? Many jewellers consider neither; market driven demand for pentagram symbology in cosmic jewellery is simply boosting their sales. The ubiquitous form of five star pentagram is turning out as a major work of art in the work benches of jewellery industry. Out of several that are peddled, the following ten types of pentagram cosmic jewellery are too prominent to be missed out.

1. Open Pentagram: Available both in star and flower designs this piece of jewellery makes the five points much deeper in focus and literally much sharper. Jewellery industry often resorts to blunting of the sharp points lest these scratch the skin of wearers. To do that, they place metal dots over the points.

2. Within Circle: This type is meant for those who are overly cautious yet wish to wear a pentagram in order to garner positive cosmics. To add more prominence and focus, metal dots are placed over the points or leave these slightly thickened.

3. Double the Circle: One is not enough, when it comes to circle that represents yoni a source of female energy. So doubling the circle does two marvellous things: it is “2+” a synonym for what the modern management gurus call as synergy. Simply put, you get more than double quantum of energy. Additionally, two circles reinforce cosmic power and balance it like what wheels do in a motor vehicle.

4. Enter Cosmic Gems: Be it open pentagram or the one safely snugged within a single or double circles decking a pentagram jewellery with cosmic gems give shine, brilliance and value. Moreover the cosmic gems so placed act in concert with the metal in bringing out the goodness of gem & jewellery. Yet lot depends on the setting of these cosmic gems, their type, colour and inherent cosmics.

5. Closing Middle Space: Wiccans call the mid space of a pentagram in an unusual, but poignant word: Womb. For all purposes a womb cannot be barren or empty; so the jewellers have come out with brilliant strokes of either filling the mid space by metal sprayed over it or set it with one or more gemstones selected from several available in the gems & crystals market.

6. Backed Pentagram: This is truly an innovation worth wearing. Here, the pentagram is embossed on a circular metal sheet to capture cosmics and impel it to flow around the circle to multiply the energy source. It is something similar to water current beneath the sea.

7. Floral Rhapsody: Nature’s beauty cannot be captured in such flourish as a Pentagram in floral design of scintillating colour of wood and flowers. More of a choice by women who are fashion conscious, this type does attract connoisseurs from the opposite sex too.

8. Mosaic Magic: More pleasing to the eye, mosaic magic pentagram form is made for those who are fastidious, lovers of art, nature and harmony. Those who wear this pentagram exhibit strong sense of identity with goal achievement as well.

9. Celtic Mystery: As you are aware Celtic culture is long known for its out of the box inventions. Celtic pentagram is sketched by draping a circle inside the five-pointed star as if it is to be half-clothed. Remaining forever a mystery, Celtic pentagram is celebrated as a key design in pentagram cosmic jewellery.

10. Inverted Pentagram: If God created the star then, the man created inverted pentagram where the star is turned upside down so that it does not look up but peeps down. Once shunned by theologians as symbology manifesting of Satanism, inverted pentagram is used, today as a major tool in receiving, employing and then transmitting both positive and negative cosmic energy. In as much as one believes that sky is the celestial source for sustenance for human life, he must recognize the aspect of earth as terrestrial space of living. An inverted pentagram stresses this unshakable truth and glances downward to the earth keeping the person who wears it steady and firm.

Pentagram Cosmic Jewellery

A pentagram, as the name suggests is a five-point star, commonly used in cosmic jewellery. Pentagram cosmic jewellery combines aesthetics of gem & jewellery with that of your cosmics, aspects that reside within you shaping your life, attitude and finally your achievement. A brief sketch of pentagram cosmic jewellery is painted in a canvas below:

Pentagram as Cosmic jewellery

A five point star made by a single continuous line connecting five points in an imaginary circle is how a pentagram originates. The drawing itself brings cosmic energy to the fore. There are two ideas: one is the continuity and the other is the interval between any two points remaining as 72 degrees, a number that evokes magic and mysticism. It does not necessarily mean that pentagram must be presented as a star. Alternate forms include five petal flower and a circle where five points are highlighted. Still the theory is steadfast. In between two points the distance must remain as 72 degrees and nothing else. Having aliases is not a bad thing for a piece of cosmic jewellery. Pentacle, pentagon, pentangle and more explanatory star pentagram are names used for this mystical symbology.

Variety is Spice of jewellery

More so with pentagram cosmic jewellery, which is fabricated in various shapes? The common thread of five point shape is embellished by making changes in design methodology. Open pentagram is the sharpest with a cutting edge on each of the five points. High risk taker may like this but for the faint hearted these sharp points are often blunted with metal dots placed or subordinated to a cosmic gem so that the wearer does not feel any accidental prick. Open design is sought after by busy people who move fast, adore pleasures of life and are often the first to brace the winning tape. Quintessentially they are movers and shakers taking the known risks of sharp edge contained in an open pentagram notwithstanding.

Then there are cautious risk adverse persons who prefer to wear pentagram ensconced within a circle so that it would not make them uncomfortable; nevertheless they stand to gain comic energy flowing out of this cosmic jewellery. They easily get connected to the five elements; fire, spirit, air, water and earth; with a big bonus, that is, the energy is flowing continuously as pentagram is drawn keeping that aspect of continuity in mind. Notable other designs cover, inverted pentagram which is placed as upside down with the stated purpose of obtaining, using and managing both negative and positive energy flows on an even keel. Pentagram in floral design of scintillating colour of wood and flowers and eye-catching mosaic form are made for those who are fastidious yet equally focussed on achieving life goals.

Flowing Cosmics

Every piece of pentagram cosmic jewellery is intended to serve the central purpose of channelling the right cosmics. Protection from evil remains the key theme. Functioning in dual capacity is another aim. This duality rests on using pentagram as a shield and thereafter as a tool to squire you on the winning streak. Adorned mainly in and around your neck, pentagram is mostly seen as pendants in a chain or as a part of a necklace. Earrings are far-fetched, whereas bracelet sounds peremptory. Signet rings with an imposing pentagram evokes stories of King Solomon.

Once made in the back of gold and sterling silver, pentagram can be turned out in noble metals such as platinum and palladium. Selecting the metal is only half story. The rest lies with deciding on the appropriate alloy and cherry picking sparkling cosmic gems. The latter is a daunting task. There is multitude of gemstones and diamonds in the world of gems & crystals. For that, indeed, you need good counsel.

Highlights of Pentagram Symbology

Most observed star in the world today is the pentagram, which happens to be used extensively in flags of nations, corporate emblems, cultures, religions and in gem & jewellery. In addition to generic names of pentangle and star pentagram ascribed to, pentagram is curiously dubbed as pentacle, by adherents of Wicca, modern day manifestation of pagan beliefs. Pentagram symbology is steeped in beliefs and traditions, few of the highlights given below give credence to these illustratively.

1. Formation: Pentagram is formed by drawing a continuous line in five straight segments without lifting your pencil. Once finished your drawing looks like a star, and for that matter picture of all stars on earth is generally drawn like this.

2. Legend: The legend of “Sir Gawain and the Green Knights” brought the pentagram to the fore. According to this legend, a pentagram was inscribed as a glyph on the shield of Sir Gawain reflecting five knightly qualities: generosity, courtesy, chastity, chivalry, and piety.

3. Civilizations: Sumerians, Mesopotamians, Pythagoreans (Ancient Greece), Egyptians, Romans and Indians have used pentagram in sometimes or other in their chequered history.

4. Religions: Adherents of established religions use pentagram as symbology for their noble truths. Early Christians considered it as indicating the five wounds suffered by Lord Jesus. Followers of Islam, took the pentagram introduced by Mongolians seriously and replaced the hitherto used hexagram (Star of David). Since then pentagram is the avowed presenter of Islamic beliefs. Gnostics of both these religions too, recognized pentagram as a searching tool for hidden knowledge.

5. Cultures: Neo-pagans such as Wiccans and selective groups including Masons have healthy admiration for pentagram. There is an opposing spectrum of pentagram as well. Kabbalists from Judaism receive positive flow of energy from the star whereas Satanists tend to derive negative cosmic flow.

6. Five Elements: For Hinduism, pentagram is similar to the hand with five fingers, each denoting an element. The order of the elements run thus: fire, spirit, air, water and earth. Joining them in the league Wiccans also accept the five elements phenomenon calibrating this symbology within a circle and re-arranging the order of the elements as spirit, water, fire, earth and air. Chinese as usual are too imaginative to reformulate elements as water, wood, fire, earth and metal, which find expressions in their acupuncture, medicine and Feng Shui.

7. Mystical Quality: Mystics find five senses, sight, hearing, smell, touch and taste in a pentagram and connect it with geometrical dimensions; as each of the five points is placed 72 degrees afar. This mystical number has connotations to the Crown Chakra that houses the brain, being the sixth sense has the capacity to manage and control the rest of the elements.

8. Microcosm in Macrocosm: Picturing a man head raised at the top and hands and legs spread sideways in a pentagram sounds like someone trying to imitate a Procrustean bed; no, this is about telling a basic mundane truth about the position of a man in the universe. He is just a microcosm in the macrocosm of larger universe. His head denotes spirit, left hand air, left leg water, right leg earth and finally right hand holding the fire element.

9. Modifications: In Celtic lore, pentagram was often pictured as five pointed insignia with a circle of lesser contour drawn inside the pentagram. Then there is inverted pentagram where it is turned upside down so that it does not look up but looks down. This modification attracts many distractors from religions and traditions, who chide the use of inverted pentagram as an insignia of Satanism.

10. Cosmics: Pentagram made as a continuous loop and pitching on the middle position of the number five is easily sized upon by most powerful nations, organizations and corporate bodies in order to garner the power of cosmics. As a star it figures in the flags of USA, Russia, China and host of other nations. Surely the cosmic power of pentagram has come to stay forever.

Enneagram Cosmic Jewellery, Ancient Wisdom in Modern Setting

Individually crafted enneagram cosmic jewellery blends ancient wisdom with modern technology. For those who wear this piece of gem & jewellery, it can be wondrous. There is a pre-condition, though. You have got to have the type of cosmics that make this piece fits you well. Interested, and then read on….

What is an Enneagram?

Geometrically it is nine-sided polygon; there are nine points on the outer edge with an irregular space in the middle as the lines crisscross. Being the most observed design, middle space with nine lines is an effective drawing. But the ancient Celtic designers thought the other way and in their enneagram there were eight points with a centre added as the ninth one.

There are other shapes as well. Enneagram formed by three triangles is touted as a powerful cosmic tool. In fact this is the one which fits the bill as nine-pointed star used extensively in Sufi teaching in Central Asia centuries ago. Another equally absorbing design is to render the nine points in a circle to make it looks like enneagram without lines traversing within.

Interest in enneagram in gem & jewellery grew in the later part of twentieth century. Mainly as result of its use by Baha’i Religion as a symbol for their followers, enneagram was given added fillip thanks to the writings of George Gurdgief who used it as a teaching aid in line with the Sufis of Central Asia. Psychologists are next in contributing to the craze with prototyping nine personalities in an Enneagram.

Cosmics surrounding Enneagram Symbology

Nine as a single digit number has the highest value, which translates into concepts of unity and completeness. On the other hand, nine is self-preservative; it remains forever without altering its stand. Look at this example, add five to nine, it totals fourteen and becomes once again five. When you bring nine-pointed star symbology into cosmic jewellery you blow into it all these characteristics. Moreover, pursuits of cosmic knowledge, preserving mental equilibrium, balancing positive and negative energies are chief objectives in wearing enneagram cosmic jewellery.

Yet another striking feature of this ancient geometrical symbol is that, it is formed by three triangles implying that, any person who wears an enneagram can live in piece with him, his fellow beings and then with the God. Special mention must be made of Soul Chakra known as ““Ruhr” in Arabic, which is located on your right side of your chest. This chakra takes the shape of an Enneagram generating cosmics as invisible rays targeted towards the Mind chakra to the left chest. From the birth till his death, a person receives trillions of cosmic colour darts from the soul chakra.

Types of Design and Wear

In making enneagram cosmic jewellery most jewellers zero-in on the nine petal flower design as it is deemed most pleasing. Next in demand is the nine pointed star design with pointers embedded with metal dots or cosmic gems. The one that can sway cosmics more effectively is to place the enneagram within a circular outer with or without cosmic lettering. Worn as earring, pendant, necklace, bracelet, and ring enneagram cosmic jewellery is fabricated with main metal such as gold, silver, platinum and copper along with appropriate alloy. This choice and setting the right stone from several available in the market for gems & crystals depend solely on the evaluation of your personal cosmics. If you possess the right type of cosmics to wear Enneagram cosmic jewellery it can bring in positive results. And that is a foregone conclusion really.

Does Swan Cosmic Jewellery Suit You?

As a popular symbology, swan is often depicted in cosmic jewellery in many countries. Quite a number of jewellery companies also adopt swan as part of their corporate logo in varying contours. Let me investigate for you what swan means in cosmic jewellery and paint instances where swan cosmic jewellery suits you fine:

1. If you wish for transformation from what you are into what you wish to be swan could be of service to you. In Greek mythology the Gods have special predilection to transform beautiful women or those serve them well as immortal swans. There is also an erotic twist to their talents. The ravisher, Zeus, for example wanted Leda, the wife of King Tyndareus very badly, so that he transformed himself into a swan to seduce her, a story that was celebrated as “Leda and the Swan “in art, sculpture and poetry thereafter.

2. If you need to fuse a union of polarity swan cosmic jewellery is ideal. In Celtic legends, swan represents two types of energy on opposite spectrums; solar, male and assertive energy of the God Lugh and lunar, female and passive energy of Goddess Bridgid are enmeshed in a swan. Blending the opposites in a swan is also noted in Chinese and Indian cultures.

3. If you wish to get adaptability and the ability of striking healthy balance between two or more aspects then you have to settle for swan cosmic jewellery. Swan is known as a bird that can wade through water, fly into air and saunter on earth with equal felicity. More to it: swan mingles in sunrise and sunset. Rarely we see a bird or for that matter a symbol that can bring home the idea of equanimity in such degree of finesse.

4. Are you a discerning person; if yes you have the quality of a swan which you have to fine tune some more for more successful living. If not it is time for you to get swan cosmic jewellery designed for you. This helps you in separating chaff from the gain to make your life lot more easier. Swan is known to possess a special ability to separate milk from water.

5. Do you want lasting love, if so, swan symbol in your cosmic jewellery reflecting your desire; swans live a committed life with their partners, and do mate with single partners for life. Moreover the loyalty and steady relationship is eulogized in Indian epic of Hamsa where Ham the male bird and Sa the female together floated over water and glided in the air till their end.

6. Are you bent on arts and learning; whether yes or no you would better get little bit of Muses in you. Aphrodite the Greek goddess of Love and Roman god of Venus is often personified as a swan. As a symbol of song and dance swan gives you that elegance and movement in dance as well as that scintillating voice in song. Learning comes naturally to swan as the Hindu Goddess for learning Saraswathi uses swan as her vehicle.

7. Are you person of excellence; just look at the crystal people Swarovski, their corporate symbol as the name suggests is a beautiful swan which they have etched in their pendants long sought after by ladies. Excellence also shines in the colour of swan; white being the predominant colour is simple and elegant whereas black swan native of New Zealand is said to be complex and absorbing.

Be that as it may, swan Symbology in cosmic jewellery has to be selected on the basis of your temperament and according to your cosmic profile. As a piece of art swan has its own class in gem & jewellery industry exuding positive cosmics. Adorning lovely ladies as pendants, necklaces, earrings and rings swan can be a unisex symbol as well. Men can settle for swan symbol in accessories more than in body hugging jewellery. Accent stones selected from the world of cosmic gems add more glamour and brilliance. And magnificent looks too.

Octagram Design in Cosmic Jewellery

An eight – point star alternatively known as Octagram is a design that makes your cosmic jewellery a class of its own. Not only it gives you a celebrity look, but works overtime to harness your cosmic energy in affording you composure and success in equal measure. Let me draw few ideas on my canvas on this fabulous design of octagram.

Cultures draw Eight - point star differently

For ancient Sumerians, octagram appears to be a work of art in gem & jewellery. Archaeological findings unearthed eight petal flowers said to decorate their dwellings as well as ornaments. Taking cue from the Sumerians, Spanish city states got their royal flags etched with an octagram. The use of octagram in bunting which is originally traced to the port city of Tartessos, Andalusia of ancient Spain has traversed to modern day national flags in several countries, notably Turkmenistan.

The symbol of octagram was drawn in different styles. Hebrew history paints a magical signet ring worn by King Solomon, often christened as “Seal of Solomon” this ring had a design of a six point star bisected by a straight line in the middle annealed right to left making the star finally an eight point one. Legends sate that this ring gave immense power to the king.

On the side of Arabic lore, octagram was drawn in two ways: one of these shapes has two squares merged together diagonally. Signifying 1/60 th part of Holy Koran, this design was given a flowery title of “Ruh- Al-Hizb”. Rendered in colourful motifs this octagram appeared in clothes and clay, not to, mention in jewellery designs across Asia, Africa and in the region washed by the Mediterranean Sea. Another shape, with a simple octagon was drawn originally by Ibn -Al-Arabi a Sufi master from Spain whose writings and treatises portray octagram as symbol of learning, interconnectedness, awareness and harmony. Later day writers construed octagram as a mark of completion and perfection lending to its popularity as a design in jewellery and clothing in almost all the countries of North Africa. Even today the symbolism of octagram pervades in style and elegance in these countries.

Near home in India, octagram was drawn as two squares merging diagonally signifying the sign of Goddess Lakshmi, known to bestow eight types of wealth. This motif was widely used in India in early times as jewellery design chiefly for deities and women of higher social strata. Yet another idea introduced by the Hindu rishis bordered on eight directions. Known in Sanskrit as Asthadisa, pendants made in gold, silver and copper octagram symbol are deemed to provide protection from negative cosmic attacks emanating from the eight directions.

Modernity gives more mauve

In astronomy the eight directions gained more traction after observing sunrise and sunset directions during summer and winter solstices. Four cardinal directions and four sunrise and sunset directions meant the need for plotting all these directions. Translating these directions into a piece of jewellery often necessitated an octagram. Hence, is the popularity of octagram jewellery, chiefly in the form of rings and bracelets amongst many intelligent people? To some extent science has unwittingly lent more colour and credence to the Symbology of octagram.

Still more Cosmics

Beyond the musings of culture and modernity, what we worry most is whether the benefit of wearing octagram design jewellery is indeed real. In simple terms, cosmics of this design help you to get connected with nature, harmonize with the fellow beings and give you more space in dealing with others. Promoting faith, learning and equanimity octagram can also turns its guns against any harmful attacks coming from the ambience. More than that, octagram has the ability to repair and renew your mind chakra. The Christian belief of octagram as a sign of redemption and regeneration is surely not out of place when we talk about the aspect of renewal.

Fabricated in different types of cosmic jewellery including nose ring, earring, pendant, necklace, amulet, and bracelet and finally as a ring octagram is often recommended as jewellery to be worn over the waist. Suitable metals and appropriate alloys along with the type of cosmic gems that need to be set within depend on your cosmic profile. While everything looks humpy dory, if your cosmic profile does not support the use of an octagram symbol then it could be rather counterproductive. Take care.

Hamsa Hand Symbol in Cosmic Jewellery

Widespread use of Hamsa hand symbol in cosmic jewellery in Middle-East, North Africa and India has not escaped the attention of enthusiasts world over. Once limited to geographical regions abutting great rivers like Euphrates, Indus and Nile, Hamsa has revived interest on Symbology on the one hand and on bringing it to day to day use on the other.

Hamsa Hand Symbol

The word Hamsa is from Hebraic and Arabic origin. Its meaning is five in these languages. In fact, the fifth alphabet of He/Hay in Hebrew and Arabic is often depicted as a hand where number five denoting five fingers of the hand. A stretched hand with fingers indicates the power of might and right.

Both ancient and modern cultures consider hand as a symbol of divinity, holiness, blessing as well as the art of grace. For them hand means that help is on its way from the heaven. An Hebrew tradition equated Hamsa with the hand of Miriam , Biblical sister of Holy Moses and Aaron; Arabic calligraphers dubbed it as hand of Fatima, daughter of Holy Prophet; Christians in Levant did not want to be left out either. They baptised it as hand of Holy Mary.

Apart from modern religious thought Hamsa figured prominently in the lore of Phoenicians as the hand of Goddess Tanit. In the East, Hindu Rishis understood hand as representing the five elements – fire, spirit, air, water and earth- in a single limb; they went little further and ascribed to the five fingers cosmic energy and summed up the hand as a fountain of cosmics. Beyond these cultures the ancients often saw in the hand a replica of God continually protecting them from negative cosmic attacks including often exaggerated evil eye.

Hamsa as Cosmic Jewellery

Fabricated in various forms and shape, Hamsa cosmic jewellery is one of the most sought after article in jewellery trade. A picture of three middle fingers shown straight with the thumb and small finger palming outwards sometimes in symmetry and elsewhere asymmetrically is advertised by many a jewellers. A variation of all five fingers drawn straight reflecting natural height of each of these looks much more appealing. Fingers pointing upward or downward along with right or left hand are seen. More to it than it meets the eye. Some of these designs have an opened eye in the middle of the outstretched palm hovered over by a pair of fish, grain or leaves. In sum, hand, eye and five fingers put together translates the symbol as a bulwark of defence against any form negative vibration coming from the ambience.

Benefits are snowballing

Said to protect the wearer from evil eye, Hamsa, can easily switch roles as harbinger of happiness, fortune, prosperity and general wellbeing. Abundance and at the same time affording much wanted mental peace is yet another cosmic benefit. Balancing energy centres commonly known as chakras in India is a key aspect often paraded by fabricators of cosmic jewellery. Hamsa can be worn as amulet, bracelet, pendent and necklace. Gold, silver and copper are the main metals with suitable alloy reflecting individual cosmic requirements. Gems & Crystals add colour to Hamsa along with art, drawing and motifs to complete the right piece of gem & jewellery.

Before buying Hamsa, it would be better to scan your cosmic profile so that you buy the one that works better for you. Better still; make one for you to suit to your own requirements.

Why Peacock Design Jewellery?

Beautifully carved out peacock design in jewellery is very popular in the East more than in the West. Many cultures are now beginning to take a fresh look at this legendary design. Let me air some of my thoughts on peacock symbolism, its application across the cultures and how these designs are brought into the jewellery wear.

Peacock Symbology

Peacock as a symbol represents varied ideas: integrity, nobility, watchfulness, guidance, protection, prosperity, royalty, love, compassion, peace, devotion, renewal, grace, beauty are some of the positive undertones. On the side of negative it is considered as pride and vanity and fearfully as a slayer of serpents. On prognosis peacock symbolises rains as the male bird spreads its feathers in a fan like manner during the onset of rains. More than that ancient cultures ascribe a degree of immortality to peacock due, perhaps for the simple reasons its flesh takes longer time to decay than others. Resurrection, on the other hand, was introduced as Christian ethos when its feathers were used during the time of Easter.

Wading through Cultures

Persians top the range with their peacock throne said to be more than two millenniums old. In China and India peacock became a revered bird. So much so, India has declared it as a national bird. Its predominant position in Greek, Chinese and Indian cultural history has been well documented. In India, the Moguls transformed peacock design as most prestigious ones to adorn in their clothes, carvings and pricey ornaments. Hindu Gods have more affinity towards peacock than deities in the other cultures though. Lord Krishna, an incarnation of Lord Vishnu dons a head gear containing beautiful blue-green peacock transmitting cosmic rays. Lord Murugan uses peacock as his vehicle whereas Goddess Saraswathi has two mounts swan and peacock; she is often depicted as seated on a lovely peacock.

Now in Jewellery

Necklace made with peacock in the centre piece is much popular in India and its neighbouring countries. Used in both as heavy jewellery for formal wear and light ones for casual flaunting, peacock is a design that most women crave for. Quite a number of combinations are used in bringing peacock designs into intricate jewellery. Solo peacock, a pair of peacocks, or male and female birds together happen to be the chief concerns of jewellery designers. A pair of peacock facing each other or standing erect or drinking water is used as key design. This design can fit snugly in as earrings, pendants, chains, bangles and bracelets in addition to the ubiquitous necklaces.

How it harnesses your cosmics?

Aesthetics apart, you have to look at how the peacock design can serve as cosmic jewellery bringing out your inner qualities and energy, which is collectively known as cosmics. Perhaps you wish to wear peacock design to achieve a particular purpose such as protection, prosperity and so on. Much depends on the metal and gems and how you set these in your gem & jewellery. Moreover, what type of wear suits you are also matter to be considered. Whether, you wear it as earring, necklace or bangle matters as each wear impacts different limbs of a human body.
