Tiny life cast hawk talons form the shape of crescent moons ( waxing, waning ) while a slightly reflective polished Hematite "dark moon" is set between them.
The High Priestess design was first composed over 10 years ago, but is directly based on the Triple Goddess symbol, specifically Hekate’s role within this symbol. While this symbol isn’t ancient ( Robert Graves, The White Goddess, 1948), it is based on ancient myths of the triform Goddess that permeated many cultures.
Here, it represents Hekate, in her lunar aspect. Associated most closely with the Dark Moon, the liminal period where endings and beginnings run parallel, what is and what will suspended together within the darkest night sky.

Hematite:
Appearing as a gunmetal gray color and named for the Greek word for blood, hematite is a grounding and protective stone, thought to help stem excessive bleeding. It has been associated with magic, blood, and protection for centuries as well as its practical application of being a pigment. When ground down, its shiny, near silver coloring transforms into a reddish hue akin to the color of dried blood. It is the very same pigment used in prehistoric cave paintings and has also been used as war paint. Hematite was also used as an early mirror for its reflective properties, making it an object that can be used for scrying.
This jewel is hand cut and therefore may have small signs of the carver's hands along the edges. This has not been fabricated by a machine, it has been made by hand and therefore isn't uniformly perfect. The photographs accurately portray the quality of the stone.
