>>> Python Protection <<< I’ve been making my Python Protection pieces for longer than Silver Stallion Handmade has been an entity. I launched, with a large array of all the now classics as well as one of a kind designs, in October of 2015, but I actually started using the snake shed in my very first release as a silversmith back in 2014. As well as using snake shed in my jewelry for many years prior even before I picked up my first torch. Snakes have long been a hugely transformative symbol to me, as they have been to many throughout all of documented history. •>><<• Specifically, there is an American South superstition that I found while making my first #southwesternswampcollection , that suggests, to dream of snakes brings bad luck. However, if you safely walk past snakes in your dream, you would overcome your enemies. Thus wearing these talismans will harness the lore of the snake, and allow you to overcome any obstacle that stands in your path, hence the original Python Protection title. Although they are so much more rich than that in their symbolism. These pieces have stayed the core of my work because to me the snake embodies, everything; a symbol of life/death/immortality, of overcoming challenges, but most importantly, of growth, transformation, and letting go of what no longer serves you. I am currently working on a full restock of all the classic #pythonprotection pieces to bring with me to markets this December, if you wish to ensure one of these three rings is made in your size so you can harness the symbolism of snake, using the shed of my pet python Erzulie’s growth, please let me know today or tomorrow, otherwise, see you in December 🐊🕯✨ (at Audubon Zoo) https://www.instagram.com/p/CWbIG2CLvm3/?utm_medium=tumblr
