sunny side up

These are hand carved little Sun's in bronze  - a beautiful warm alloy. An earth element, it is associated with humility and being grounded, as well as having calming strength about it, promoting stability, security and sturdiness. Warm like gold, but steady as a rock. This can be a single talisman or amulet, or be happily added to other peices you might already have.

The Sun symbolizes our outer world—our ego, our presence in the here and now, and our yang energy. It is a source of strength, courage, and insight, radiating vitality into our lives.

The upward-pointing triangle, the alchemical symbol for Fire, also reflects this energy. In alchemical and elemental traditions, each side of the triangle represents one of the three essential components needed to sustain a fire: oxygen, fuel, and heat. Fire is not a static thing—it is a chemical reaction, dynamic and alive. Without any one of these elements, fire cannot exist. This triangle becomes a reminder of the balance necessary to maintain both physical fire and the metaphorical fire within ourselves.

Philosopher Empedocles described Fire and Air as “outwardly reaching” elements—expanding, ascending, reaching up and out—contrasting with Earth and Water, which move downward and inward. Fire is closely linked to the Warmth ether, so much so that they are often considered one and the same. This connection makes Fire the element closest to the spiritual realm, to the etheric world.

Fire represents passion, transformation, and the process of purification and transmutation—not just of matter, but of the self. Yet, like any powerful force, it requires harmony. Too little, and the flame fades; too much, and it consumes. Balance is essential.

These come without a chain.
