In Egyptian mythology, this noble metal formed the bones of the gods while their flesh was made from gold and the early association of gold with the sun naturally led to silver holding a unique connection to the moon. This relationship between silver and the moon has imbued the metal with feminine symbolism evoking qualities such as softness, purity, calmness, wisdom and reflection.
Grandidierite is a rare gemstone highly valued for its unique properties and powerful manifestation energies. Associated with the third eye it promotes harmony, emotional balance and fosters inner peace whilst alleviating stress and anxiety. It is known as the Faith stone.
Protecting the aura from negative energy, Labradorite is also a purifying stone that connects you with the energy of light, bringing a sense of calm and serenity. The soothing presence of this stone is thought to enhance physical well-being and promote the body’s natural healing processes.
The Hydra constellation is associated with the myth of the Lernaean Hydra, a multi-headed, monstrous water serpent defeated by Heracles as part of his Twelve Labors.
Tasked with slaying the creature, Heracles discovered that for every head he cut off, two more would grow back in its place. This regenerative ability made the Hydra a formidable opponent. To overcome this challenge, Heracles enlisted the help of his nephew Iolaus, who used a torch to cauterize the necks of the heads as Heracles severed them, preventing them from regenerating. Eventually, Heracles was able to cut off the immortal head of the Hydra and buried it under a heavy rock.
One of the most iconic monsters in Greek mythology, the Hydra represents physical challenges and the deeper struggles faced by heroes, symbolising the complexity of overcoming seemingly insurmountable obstacles.
Dark Green - represents the serpent’s primal nature, regeneration, and connection to the earth and water.
Blue-Grey - reflects the watery domain of Lerna, where the Hydra dwelled, cool tones suggest depth, secrecy, and the underworld.
