The tree of life, also known as the world tree, sacred tree, cosmic tree and the tree of knowledge, is an important concept found in mithologies and religions worldwide. Spreading its branches to the welkins and its roots to the underworld, it connects three cosmic spheres and symbolizes the interconnection of all life on our planet.

The most popular tree of life is definitely Yggdrasil from the ancient Norse tradition, but the concept is probably derived from Siberian shamanistic traditions, and we can think about it as of a representation of axis mundi.

This tree of life pendant is handmade and unique, made of silver-plated wire using wire wrapping. It is adorned with 32 chunks of labradorite, whimsical gemstone known for its healing properties. According to an Eskimo legend, the Northern Lights were once imprisoned in the rocks along the coast of Labrador.

The pendant measures 4 x 4.5 cm and comes on a long beige suede leather cord with two wooden beads. It is a nice gift for those interested in mythology, fantasy fans and heathens/pagans.
