The power of this symbol offers the protective and defensive qualities of this Magical Spear to those who defend and support nature's cause.
Original design by artist Kano Diebitsch
Irminsul, a Cosmic Tree symbol, was Sacred to the Saxons of Ancient Europe.
Equated with Yggdrasil, the World Tree of the Norse,
the symbol once existed in Northern Germany but was destroyed by early
Christians under orders of Charlemagne in 772 AD.
The only surviving image of Irminsul was reportedly carved into the
rock formations of the "externsteine," a huge natural rock formation long
used as a Pagan Holy Site: often described as mainland Europe's "Stonehenge."
On the trunk of this Cosmic Tree is the 'GAR' rune, seen only
in the Anglo-Saxon runic alphabet. Gar is the last rune, and means 'Spear.'
More accurately, it refers to "Gungnir," Odin's Magical Spear; a Dwarven Magical
Weapon given to Odin by Loki.
Related to Thor's Hammer, the Spear never misses its mark,
and always returns to Odin's hand.
Gungnir was also considered to be the Cosmic Pillar,
an axis linking the various Realms of the Universe: the Heavens and the Underworld.
Its magical meaning is the stable reference point,
which is at once all around, internal, external, micro and macrocosmic;
the beginning and the end of all things.
Gar was used as a magical word for bringing magic into being,
such as the phrases 'ka!' and 'abracadabra.'

| Materials |
| Pewter |
Pewter is a malleable metal alloy, traditionally 85–99% tin, with the remainder consisting of copper and other metals. It has a low melting point and is very easy to cast in molds. It has been used since ancient times for everything from jewelry to table wear and was once called the "poor mans silver". Generally pewter has a grayish/silver semi-dull finish, though this varies depending on the metals combined with the tin and can be colored black or other shades or plated with gold or silver. All our pewter pieces are lead and nickel free. Pewter is generally hypo-allergenic and will not tarnish or react in most conditions. Note it can break or crack if flexed multiple times and rings cannot be re-sized, though interior ring springs or other adjusters might be used. |
