Birch ritual earrings

Description

"The birch tree, especially amongst the Celts of ancient Scotland, was considered a symbol of strength, renewal and fertility. The birch is a hardy tree and is one of the first to show new growth in Springtime after the bitter cold of winter."
~Answers.com

"Birch tree meanings include new beginnings and cleansing of the past. Birch trees are also associated with vision quests. The common name birch is derived from an old Germanic root meaning "white, bright or to shine."

A set of earring made with polymer clay. These will be my ritual jewelry, together with the pendant. The leaves are fashioned after birch leaves, a tree I have a special bond with and which, for me, symbolize the Goddess in Nature. Tiny pentagrams are carved into the leaves. The white beads are polymer clay with a slight shimmer with the rune Berkana and the Ogham Beth, both meaning 'Birch' (among other things :aww:)
