Water has the unique power to take on the shape of what surrounds it.
It therefore, does not possess a shape itself even though as soon as we imagine it we see it in a glass or cup; as a pond or lake; or even as a raindrop hanging precariously from a leaf’s tip.
The power of water is its ability to adapt and be flexible.
It transcends its own shapes and forms that of its host.
Water, therefore, symbolizes what is possible with change.
The timeless and ever-present force of water
Water can also dissolve and destroy great mountains waterfalls and coastlines. Not by a strike or a blow, but through a gentle, persistent wearing down on a level so minute it could be said to occur one grain of sand at a time.
The healing power of water.
Science tells us that the seas and oceans were there before the Earth.
All living creatures were born from it and cannot survive without it.
Water binds us all to Mother Earth in a powerful way. It has this power to connect us all together over time and over distance.
The power of water to refresh and cleanse
The Christian faith recognises the power of water in its baptisms, as do other cultures.
The Lady of the Lake kept and protected Sir Arthur’s sword and God destroyed Noah’s world with continues rain.
Water gives us the power to wash away the dirt and detritus of our past and begin again, renewed and refreshed. It can detox and bring new life.
Water also has great healing power in the form of natural springs. Here water is heated by volcanic processes and, along with added salts and minerals, created to revive the tired spirit.
Wearing the symbolism of water in handcrafted jewelry, will connect the wearer with this ever present, magnificent force.
Water will allow for cleansing and making new the spirit and whole again.
