The Celts lived in western and central Europe in the 1st millennium BC. Celtic mythology, which included earth gods, various woodland spirits, and sun deities, was particularly rich in elfin demons and guardian spirits, beings that still pervade the lore of peoples of Celtic ancestry. The celtic-cross is used as a symbol of Christianity to show devotion to a higher spiritual power, and also as a tool for spiritual focus. It measures about 1 1/4″ high and is new and unused pewter material and comes on a black woven 34″ long adjustable cord. Each pendant comes with a Celtic symbol card with descriptions of each of the 12 different Celtic Visions designs. This item is stored in a smoke and pet free environment.
