The Triple Goddess Ring has been forged from copper and displays the waning, full and waxing moon; symbolising the Triple Goddess. This ring is designed with a rustic natural worn look and made to size. The three moons represent the three aspects of the goddess: The Maiden, The Mother, and The Crone. The Triple Moon symbolises all the aspects of female power united: intuition and psychic insight; creative energy; wisdom and mystery. Just like the Triple Goddess represents the states of feminine energy, the ring itself has been designed to showcase the three beautiful stages of copper, which are highly shined, natural copper and oxidized copper. Not only a beautiful metal, copper is also known for its healing properties; it has been used throughout history to help heal arthritis and rheumatism and also in the aid of blood and metabolism disorders.

25% of the people have a 4th cone and see colors as they are

Given the sudden interest for the color of dresses and vision, here some of the fascinating findings we did recently.

The color nuances we see depend on the number and distribution of cones (=color receptors) in our eye. You can check this rainbow: how many color nuances do you count?

You see less than 20 color nuances: you are a dichromats, like dogs, which means you have 2 types of cones only. You are likely to wear black, beige, and blue. 25% of the population is dichromat.

You see between 20 and 32 color nuances: you are a trichromat, you have 3 types of cones (in the purple/blue, green and red area). You enjoy different colors as you can appreciate them. 50% of the population is trichromat.

You see between 33 and 39 colors: you are a tetrachromat, like bees, and have 4 types of cones (in the purple/blue, green, red plus yellow area). You are irritated by yellow, so this color will be nowhere to be found in your wardrobe. 25% of the population is tetrachromat.

You see more than 39 color nuances: come on, you are making up things! there are only 39 different colors in the test and probably only 35 are properly translated by your computer screen anyway :)

It is highly probable that people who have an additional 4th cone do not get tricked by blue/black or white/gold dresses, no matter the background light ;)

In case you are unsure of the moon names here is a list of them:

Northern Hemisphere full moon names by month: January: Old Moon, Moon After Yule February: Snow Moon, Hunger Moon, Wolf Moon March: Sap Moon, Crow Moon, Lenten Moon April: Grass Moon, Egg Moon May: Planting Moon, Milk Moon June: Rose Moon, Flower Moon, Strawberry Moon July: Thunder Moon, Hay Moon August: Green Corn Moon, Grain Moon September: Fruit Moon, Harvest Moon October: Harvest Moon, Hunter’s Moon November: Hunter’s Moon, Frosty Moon, or Beaver Moon December: Moon Before Yule, or Long Night Moon

The Bone Goddess by Rhiannon Lavis - Part of the team at bonefox

The Bone Goddess is something I drew a couple of years ago, but she had been in my head for years before that. I keep wanting to draw her over and over.

To me, she is a spirit of death. But to understand her you must understand the role death plays in nature. Death is not evil or cruel, it is a necessary part of natures cycles; in order for things to live, other things must die. Animals must consume other animals or plants, plants must consume the nutrients found in the bodies of the dead. We came from the earth and return to it, over and over in a perfect cycle where nothing is wasted.

The Bone Goddess oversees that cycle, she ensures that creatures die at the right time, that their bodies are not wasted. She is decay and the feasting of roots on bodies. She cares for the scavengers who assist her task, such as vultures, hyenas and sharks. Her companion in this artwork is a Griffon Vulture.

She abhors waste and anything that interrupts the cycle of death to life. Her enemies are poachers, trophy hunters, and those responsible for the needless deaths of war.
