The Shaman Ankh, I started and completed this piece today, handmade of course, this is a @growavy Ankh, however this is the only one in this exact design.

Many Thanks to The Master Jeweler @serjewelry who provided the Brazilian Amethyst crystal for this piece. Amethyst is a crystal with uplifting energy. Amethyst gives you an energy boost throughout the day, and helps you sleep and achieve your dreams.

This piece was handcrafted and hand-fabricated in Pure Copper.

Why did I name this piece The Shaman Ankh? I named it The Shaman Ankh because it is inspired by Shamans, who channel the elements of nature to do their work, to heal and empower the people around them as well as to fight their enemies. Whoever wears this jewelry piece/spiritual armor around their neck will have more power to influence their environment. Shamans summon totems, physical embodiments of the ancestors to help them; this ankh is a totem. The ankh is the ancient African symbol of life, the combining of feminine and masculine energies to produce life; ankhs were also used as tools to conduct and transmit energy for ancient devices; the ankh itself is a device. With this piece, my intention was to combine shamanic abilities with the ultimate power of the symbol and the tool of the ankh so that the wearer of this ankh could benefit from both shamanic abilities and the power of the ankh itself, and it came to fruition with this piece. I love this piece. It's solid, you can tell when you hold it in your hand, and when you wear it.

Straight from the World of Warcraft website, the description of the Shaman is as follows:

"Shamans are spiritual guides and practitioners, not of the divine, but of the very elements. Unlike some other mystics, shaman commune with forces that are not strictly benevolent. The elements are chaotic, and left to their own devices, they rage against one another in unending primal fury. It is the call of the shaman to bring balance to this chaos. Acting as moderators among earth, fire, water, and air, shaman summon totems that focus the elements to support the shaman’s allies or punish those who threaten them."
