Ganesha Tree of Life Amethyst Necklace

I have to say I adored wearing this whilst I was talking during today's LIVE Tenderness and Treasures event.  The double terminated point that sits below the Ganesh made me feel that energies that perhaps are being directed at me, need to find their correct home.  This is a very protective amulet necklace.

Oh Ganesh, if you have read some of the other descriptions of Ganesh pieces you will have read the following before.  This gorgeous necklace is designed to sit as a 'choker' style so that it can particularly be worn as a layering piece with other necklaces. It sits superbly at 15" (38cm) and these photos truly don't do this magnificent creation justice.

Ganesh has so much to offer.  His big belly represents generosity and total acceptance.  His upraised hand represents protection, he is saying "Fear not, I am with you" and his lowered hand with his palm facing outwards represents giving as well as an opening to receive.

Ganesha also has a teeny mouse at his feet.  Can you imagine, an elephant with a mouse at its feet, surely the mouse would be in danger, however the mouse represents the 'chewing away' of the ties that bind and the 'eating away of ignorance'.

I may be a little obsessed with this deity as I have found he has given me so much support.  He is a great unifier across religions, Hindu's, Vaishnavites, Buddhists etc. all find a place for Ganesh.

As an elephant he represents the qualities of wisdom and faithfulness.  A support to being single minded in pursuits.

One of my favourite chants is "Ganesha Sharanam, Sharanam Ganesha" which is a powerful mantra which calls upon Ganesh to remove ignorance and to provide protection.
