INSPIRATION
ABOUT
"Farandole Under the Red Moon" is a pair of earrings that weaves a powerful connection between nature, the moon, and the cycles of life, themes deeply rooted in ancient and pagan beliefs. These earrings embody the onset of autumn, that transitional period when the earth, after generously yielding its fruits, enters a phase of rest. The changing colors of the leaves—shades of red, gold, and copper—are reflected in the design of these earrings, symbolizing both the end of the harvest and the emergence of a new cycle.
These earrings draw inspiration from the celebrations of Samhain, a major Celtic festival that marks the end of the agricultural year and the beginning of the dark season. More than just a time of apparent death, this festival represents the continuity of natural cycles where death prepares the way for rebirth. In Celtic imagination, a druidess might have worn these earrings, as a symbol of her deep respect and understanding of natural forces, during rituals aimed at fostering wisdom, renewal, and transformation.
The silver moons adorning these earrings are not mere decorations but represent the lunar phases and the fluidity of time. In pagan and Celtic traditions, the moon is often seen as a manifestation of the divine feminine, governing the tides, harvests, and even human emotions. The moon’s cycle directly influences growth and transformation, which these earrings seek to evoke by harmoniously blending natural and lunar symbols.
The choice of red carnelian adds a more spiritual dimension. Known for its energetic properties in many cultures, carnelian is a stone associated with vitality, protection, and creativity. The "red full moon" (or blood moon) that inspires these earrings is an astronomical phenomenon that occurs during lunar eclipses. For the Celts, as for other ancient cultures, this unusual color of the moon could be seen as an important omen, often linked to major changes in both the physical and spiritual worlds. The coppery red of the carnelian seems to capture the very essence of these celestial events, inviting the wearer to embrace transformation and inner strength.
The silver plate, whose edges subtly resemble oak leaves, pays homage to the sacred tree of the Celts. The oak, a majestic and resilient tree, symbolizes strength, wisdom, and the link between worlds. It was often revered in sacred groves where druids gathered for their ceremonies. The small leaves and crescent moons engraved on this plate echo this ancient communion with nature and the cosmos, reminding us that the earth and the stars are intrinsically connected.
These earrings are a true invitation to reconnect with nature and its cycles, to honor the harmony between the earth and the stars, and to carry within oneself the ancestral wisdom of the Celts.
