Air is a masculine quality and the opposite of its fixed feminine counterpart, Earth. Where Earth is easy to determine and define, Air is constantly moving and impossible to pin down. Air is often characterised by the wind, which is forever present yet invisible, powerful yet comforting, terrifying yet liberating. Air represents your wishes, hopes, dreams, and inspirations.
Each amulet in this collection is a one of a kind creation that represents a unique aspect of the element of air. This collection celebrates and honours the beautiful natural forms of the creatures of the air, from their delicate and intricate wings, to their pneumatic, lightweight bones.
