Meaningful jewelry gifts

The Magic Key pendant contains one of my favorite poems - “Go and catch a falling star”, written by the Jacobean poet John Donne (1572 – 1631). John Donne is known for his metaphysical poetry that he wrote during the 17^th century and for the influence his poems has had on writers and poets ever since. His works stand out because of their wit, the feeling of mystery and magic they impart and their intense emotion and wisdom.The first verse from the poem is inscribed at the center of the pendant:Go and catch a falling star,

Get with child a mandrake root,

Tell me where all past years are,

Or who cleft the devil’s foot,

Teach me to hear mermaids singing,

Or to keep off envy’s stinging,

And find

What wind

Serves to advance an honest mind.

Around the pendant appears one of my favorite symbols, the Orborus, a dragon devouring its own tail. For me this ancient symbol represents the magic of the universe that created itself from within itself and that continues to develop and awaken within us the realization of the endless process of rebirth and growth.

I recently had a discussion with one of my friends about self-development and jewelry. He said he doesn’t understand how a piece of jewelry can perform as a key in our self development.  Well, my answer to him and to others who ask me is that the jewelry I do is formed in a special language called the language of symbolism.

Symbols have enormous effect on us as they carry in them inherent meaning. When we are exposed to a symbol with strong meaning, our consciousness slowly transforms to incorporate the symbol meaning.

Take for example the Merkaba prana, which is known as a symbol of the energy field around us. Wearing the Merkaba bring the shape into consciousness a create that shape in our mind. By creating the shape in our mind we encourage our energy field to form in that shape causing balance and harmony in our life.

Another example is the ring of Love. The sentence on that ring and it’s name echoes in our soles reminding us of love. Slowly, love gets in our conscious and from there to the experience of love, the way is short.

Enjoy the cosmic joke

Been working on my Runes Ring.
Each one will be able to choose his own Rune for this ring.
We come from the land of the ice and snow,
“From the midnight sun where the hot springs blow.
The hammer of the gods will drive our ships to new lands,
 To fight the …horde, singing and crying: Valhalla, I am coming!”
Yours truely;
David Weitzman The Jewish viking (or something :))

Runes are letters in a family of ancient alphabets known as runic alphabets. Runes were used as a method of communication across Scandinavia and in other Germanic nations from around the 3rd century CE to around the 13th century, when they were displaced by the Roman alphabet. Thousands of examples of runic inscriptions can be found in stones, coins, and artwork, and many Scandinavian countries also boast extensive collections of runic manuscripts.
The word “rune” is derived from an Anglo-Saxon word which means “secret,” or “mystery.” Writing was widely held to be mysterious by many early European cultures, since it abstracted spoken language, turning it into symbols which could be read.

I almost completed this Rune set. You will be able to select several letters and build a bracelet or pendant from them.

Here’s some inspiration -This photo was taken this morning at my house in Tel-Aviv. It’s a carnivorous plant from the nepenthes family. This is the N.Globosa known as the N.viking due to it’s resemblance to a viking ship. The plant was discovered in Thailand at the beginning of 2004 and almost became extinct after the tsunami at december 2004. It was saved by growers around the world who were able to breed it at their homeslike myself. I think that the design of it is fabulous…
