{ SYMBOLISM }
THE
MOON - The Moon was the first calendar with its constant and measurable
cycles. The ancients understood this and realized that they where One
with the Moon. Just as the Moon is One with the earth and the tides of
the great seas they also saw she was one with the tides of life. The
monthly cycles of women correlated closely with the cycles of the Moon
is such a way that it was awed and revered and even worshiped as the
Triple Goddess, the virgin, mother, and wise crone. The earliest
Egyptian calendar was based on the moon's cycles. The Mayans of Central
America relied not only on the sun and moon, but also the planet Venus,
to establish 260-day and 365-day calendars. Muslims use a purely lunar
calendar. They measured the passing of time (longer than weeks) only by
months. Celtic Irish Druids, has 13 months and a day. Each month has 28
days and is named for a tree which signifies in quality each particular
lunar cycle. Inherent in the original calendar, which was a carefully
guarded secret, were the keys to knowledge and the code for the Druidic
alphabet.
SILVER - Silver has always held a value above material
and economic considerations. Gifts of silver jewelry in many cultures
are given as a symbol of trust, truth, excellence, wisdom and love. It
is also a symbol of strength as it can stand the test of time. It is a
metal associated with the moon and lunar influences.
