A stunning pendant which is rich in symbolism on many levels - meaningful to both wear and give. The Chalice and the Blade represent the joining of divine male and female energies - known as the Great Rite.
The Chalice represents feminine energies, the womb and intuition and is used to honour the goddess. The most famous chalice is the Holy Grail, thought by some to represent Mary Magdalene and the bloodline of Christ. The Pentacle on the Chalice symbolises the active nature of feminine energy. The Blade represents masculine forces, power and truth. The Crescent at the top of the sword's hilt represents the masculine energy as passive on the internal planes. The Ribbon spiralling around the Chalice and Blade symbolises the energy generated during the Great Rite, creating a vortex of rebirth. Finally, the salutation 'Blessed Be', engraved on the ribbon, seals this sacred image.
