Item #9: The Hermit - Healing & Calming Sterling Silver Turquoise Pendant (Chain not included)

Lovers. The 6 of Swords When the warm-hearted straight guy finished making this pendant, I asked him to choose from the 4 elements and numbers. He picked wind and the number 6. It's The 6 of Swords. Lately, I've had a strong connection with The 6 of Swords. He also offered a wonderful interpretation for this pendant: The main stone is turquoise, symbolizing miracles and good fortune. It's embraced securely within the 'zhen bao' setting, elegantly adorned with twisted wire. The 6 of Swords Represents healing, recovery, and transition. We often live with past wounds, and everyone carries a shadow side to some extent. No matter how sorrowful a relationship or how deep the abyss, when you need healing, each person has their own rhythm and pace. Individual personalities shape the duration and method required for healing. Perhaps at this moment, we lack the strength and courage to remove the thorn from our hearts. External voices constantly remind us, "You should be better by now," "You shouldn't dwell in sadness," sternly criticizing our perceived weakness. But, that's just their perspective. While we eventually need courage to sever that thorn and sadness, if it hurts too much, allow yourself a little indulgence. Just cry, letting yourself drift with the sorrow. When the time is right, leave the mire that traps you. First and foremost, you are you. Listen closely to your inner voice. Cherish and protect yourself. When you've become numb with pain, remember to gently nudge yourself forward. This is how you can face the sunshine and reconnect with your world. Pain fosters growth, though the cost can be substantial. Here, turquoise also represents hope and a miracle. We always wish for someone to guide us out of the storm. But you are the turquoise. You are your own luck and your own miracle.
