COLLECTIONS
The first collection Arachne is dedicated to spiders. They symbolize terrifying female power, creativity and wisdom.
Spider web is very inviting, mystical and meditative.
There are no spider images on any of the scarves, because women who wear it do have spider powers of their own and are an actual spider/owner of the web.
Labyrinths are ancient diagrams that emanate power and energy into their surroundings and to the people that use them.
There are seven main labyrinths and their energies are connected with 7 holy planets in astrology and thus with 7 colors, 7 metals, days, etc.
Labyrinths were firstly found in neolithic art and they are in tight relationship with Great Goddess and Earth, because they were mainly earthen structures, build as passages or carved in rocks.
Passing through Labyrinth is a symbolic path of initiation. Stepping into it is an act of great courage and reaching it’s center means reaching the point of enlightenment.
