Thousands of years of religious and cultural superstition have caused many people to depend on jewelry they can wear to protect them from to bringing them luck with love or money. Spiritual jewelry has always had a place in every culture. Some of the beliefs behind wearing some of this jewelry actually make the difference between life and death for the wearer.
The most popular form of jewelry that represents spiritualism is the cross. Many people have their own versions of why they wear one. However, there are those mystics that hold beliefs about the Celtic cross that are intriguing and could be the real meaning behind all crosses in all religions. Some believe that the axis lying horizontally means the earthly lands while the vertical line means the direction to heaven.
Celtic people had a cross thousands of years ago as well. The Celtic cross was worn and placed in the home as a protector against evil. This cross had meaning by the actual shape of it. The line that goes across horizontally means the planet earth. The line going across the other vertically means the pathway to heaven is upwards.
If you are of the Jewish faith, then you know what a Hamas is. For those that do not know, it is a piece of jewelry worn to defend the wearer against evil that would otherwise prey on them. The Hamas is worn by a single and very thin red thread that is symbolic of a worm. The worm is the lowest and most humble creature on the earth. When the wearer looks at the thread, he or she is to be reminded that being humble is best kind of attribute you could have.
Being of the Jewish faith also may mean that you have your Kabbalah blessed by your rabbi. This is a talisman that is worn as a protector as well. It has a tiny scroll inside of it that has all the seventy two names of God on it. This talisman is worn with the scroll as a reminder of God and all His good for the wearer.
You probably know someone that has some part of their body pierced for being able to wear jewelry there. This art has been a part of many cultures for centuries. The ancients were piercing body parts as well for religious and superstition beliefs. Some Egyptian mummies have been found to have parts of their body pierced. Today, body piercing has become quite the thing to do for being in style and cool.
Have you ever saw the movies that had African tribes in it? Did you ever wonder what all the beautiful and colorful beads they wore were for? Did you think that was just part of the movies set? In fact, many African cultures today still use beads as a form of communication and for spiritual reasons as well. Some of the beads are made from ostrich bones while some are made from glass that has been crushed, dyed, and heated to form the ball shape. These beads mean the place you hold in society to the kind of political belief that you have.
No matter what your reasons are for choosing to wear metaphysical jewelry, your belief is what matters the most. This is one big reason behind this kind of jewelry, having strong faith in the God you know will protect you.
