So Below, As Above by Emma Brooke Jewelry
Polished black stone has been used for scrying for centuries. Gaze into this onyx tablet to find your own reflection, and perhaps you’ll see something more.
Behind the stone, an old line reads: as above, so below. The phrase runs through history, from alchemy to modern witchcraft. I've always interpreted it as a cycle. The people who came before us shape the ways we live, and one day the actions we choose will be remembered and reflected by someone else. Spin the tablet and the words trade places: so below, as above. Neither comes first.
Twelve tiny black spinels surround the piece. Like the hours of a clock or the months of a year, they remind us of the passing moments of our time here on earth.
Memento mori asks us to remember that we will die. But remember too, that we'll also be reflected. Let your words and actions leave behind something worth repeating.
