This talisman brings together a bronze hand, a shard of red jade gifted by my mother, a fragment of bone unearthed from the Thames, and a 9-carat gold spade - each element carrying its own story and resonance.
The hand, cast in bronze, holds the five elements within its fingers: the thumb as fire and universal consciousness, the index finger as air and individual awareness, the middle finger as akasha - pure connection, the ring finger as earth, and the little finger as water. Bronze itself is one of the earliest metals worked into mirrors, revered for its ritual potency and unique beauty. It is especially powerful for Leo, and also aligned with Gemini and Virgo.
It also has a circular piece of red jade, one of six my mother entrusted to me, now dispersed into works that live out in the world. Red jade is a stone of vitality and protection, carrying ancestral love and resilience.
Bound within is also a piece of bone, a found relic from the Thames. Its origin unknown, yet it whispers of life, death, and mystery.
Finally, a 9-carat gold spade completes the piece. Gold, luminous and enduring, has long symbolized divine wisdom, purity, and transformation. It represents the sun, radiance of spirit, and the eternal quest for truth.
Together, these materials create a talisman that is at once elemental, ancestral, and timeless.
