A SUCCESSFUL LIFE

This irresistible ensemble includes a set of 2 peacock feathers, Kalabubu necklace and a Ghanta temple bell, complete with the blackened metal supports.

The feathers come from the island of Java and are considered powerful and mythical symbols in many different cultures of the world. The peacock feather is said to absorb negative energies, protect the wearer from any bad happenings and bringing good luck. The peacock is also believed to be the manifestation of the celestial phoenix bird, and its feathers are often recommended in Feng Shui as a love cure. 

The bell called Ghanta wasmade in brass on the island of Bali in Indonesia, made as per ancient techniques. Ghanta’s are ritual bells used in Hindu ceremonies in Bali. Most temples have one hanging at the entrance and devotees ring the bell before entering. The bell is also rung by the priest during the ceremony, while burning incense in front of the deity and when offering food or flowers. It is said that by ringing the bell, the devotee informs the gods of his or her arrival. The sound of the bell is considered to bring good luck and to welcome divinity, casting away evil. The sound of the bell is also said to make the mind more receptive, and helping to control ones focus. For certain yoga practices it’s believed that the sound of the bell energizes the Chakras and balances the energy in your body.

The Kalabubu is handmade in brass with a delicate coconut veneer. Necklaces like these were worn by warrior men called head-hunters in the island of Nias, off the Western coast of Sumatra in Indonesia. As a symbol of high prestige, the warriors were only allowed to wear this necklace once they had killed an enemy and brought his head back to the village. By carrying the enemies head back to the village the warrior brought protective forces to his community.
