Please message me if you would like a mix of the varieties.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe fact that the Moon moves through different cycles and does not remain fixed, symbolizes the cycle of life itself. After all, in life, we often find ourselves in different phases, some where we reap the rewards of our actions and can rest, and others where we must work hard to achieve what we want.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese beautiful Gold Sheen Obsidian Moons are in the crescent shape, which makes them instantly recognisable as moons as opposed to circles or semi circles. Each phase of the Moon has particular significance associated with it. With a crescent moon it is either Waxing or Waning, coming or going in simple terms.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ein a Waxing Crescent Moon - The Moon’s illumination is growing, but we can only see less than half of the Moon from Earth. This phase is linked to making inventions and resolutions. Whereas in a Waning Crescent Moon - the Moon's brightness is dimming. We can see less than a quarter of the Moon . The phase is associated with surrender. \u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003eThese pieces can represent either of these lunar cycles, depending on which way you turn them, as seen in the group photos.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOf course, as well as the symbolism associated with the different phases of the Moon, the Moon as an entity also signifies many things. For example, in many spiritual traditions, the Moon is associated with female energy and female deities while the Sun is seen as male.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eindeed, there are many goddesses associated with lunar energy, and in turn, these deities are often protectors of those in childbirth and children, themselves. Goddesses associated with lunar energy are often defenders of children and are immortal matrons of childbirth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ein addition to representing the divine feminine, in spirituality, the Moon is also associated with enlightenment and illumination and our conscious and subconscious. After all, the Moon does shine down on us all and illuminates the dark.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHowever, unlike the Sun, the Moon's method of illumination is more subtle, relying on reflected light. This is important in Moon symbolism because you will often see associations between gentle, intuitive, and passive knowledge. Indeed, the Moon is believed to represent the type of knowledge that comes to us and insight, rather than the kind we can actively search for in the world.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOf course, this connection to inner insight matches well with the association of the Moon in spirituality with our inner world. The parts of our experience that are not immediately obvious to those around us or even ourselves. Indeed, the Moon symbolizes things such as our inner feelings and desires, our shadow self, and things that we are yet to discover about ourselves. Yet, with the gentle illumination that the Moon brings, we can come to learn these things about ourselves and integrate them without too much strife.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"NaturesgiftsByChris","offers":[{"title":"Mahogany Obsidian \/ 1","offer_id":49753424789781,"sku":null,"price":2.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Mahogany Obsidian \/ 3","offer_id":49753424822549,"sku":null,"price":6.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Mahogany Obsidian \/ 5","offer_id":49753424855317,"sku":null,"price":9.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Dragons Blood Jasper \/ 1","offer_id":49753424888085,"sku":null,"price":2.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Dragons Blood Jasper \/ 3","offer_id":49753424920853,"sku":null,"price":6.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Dragons Blood Jasper \/ 5","offer_id":49753424953621,"sku":null,"price":9.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Grey Crazy Lace Agate \/ 1","offer_id":49753424986389,"sku":null,"price":2.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Grey Crazy Lace Agate \/ 3","offer_id":49753425019157,"sku":null,"price":6.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Grey Crazy Lace Agate \/ 5","offer_id":49753425051925,"sku":null,"price":9.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0870\/2453\/3781\/files\/IMG_3348.jpg?v=1769917913","url":"https:\/\/naturesgiftsbychris.com\/products\/small-polished-crescent-moon-carvings","provider":"NaturesgiftsByChris","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
