Zenko Six Tailed Kitsune

A one of a kind pendant: a small black flat tourmaline wrapped in sterling silver with an antique Victorian Albertina flat tassel (quite rare) hanging off both a sterling silver shackle and a Celtic Bronze Age hoop.

It's no secret that I love tourmalines. These black tourmaline's are known as the elemental bodyguard, a true powerhouse of cleansing energy. This remarkable stone keeps you grounded and shields you from the clutches of anxiety, allowing you to navigate life with a sense of peace and strength. They are super bad ass super cleanser, that grounds, empowers and protects. They have the ability to cut right through spirally thoughts and get you to listen and trust your gut instinct! It can be very useful if you suffer from anxiety and it is the perfect repellent against energy vampires. They also look like they have been lifted up from the earths core. Love them. Along side all this, it also attracts good luck and prosperity. Unlike most of the black tourmaline I acquire this isn't shard like, rather more obsidian looking, but they are black tourmaline - quite special.

The Celtic Bronze Age hoop dates back to around 700 BC, and were once used as a form of ancient currency. I’ve loved sourcing them through mudlarkers, collectors, and other guardians of history. This particular bronze ring, from the Celtic Iron Age, was found in the Midlands and comes from a Staffordshire collection, adding both authenticity and depth to the piece.

If you're curious about the name - we met a lovely Japanese (by heritage) person today at the Stella, and we chatted for ages. I then sat down to post a few of these talismans up online and ping - the name just came to me. The Zenko are a benevolent variant of the Kitsune species  - intelligent, shape shifting, magical fox spirits associated with the Shinto spirit Inari.
