Origins...

It brings us fertility, warmth and life. The Sun is life-giving, it is necessary for plant-growth, and everything that exists. There is no Agriculture without the Sun. We do not get enough Vitamin D without the Sun. The Sun is important. Even ancient hunter gatherers and Neolithic Farmers knew that. And they worshipped that force and power, and that worship is well known.

Latin “Sol” for “Sun” was known amongst the Romans, and they worshipped “Sol” when Rome was founded. But Sol is way older than that. “Sol” derives from Proto-Indo-European culture, also known as Helios in Greek Mythology and Surya in Sanskrit. Tacitus tells us that “Sol” had its own temple, and a ritual calender in accordance with called Sol Indiges.

Sol Invictus was a God, worshipped from the Near East in Syria and other Eastern cults.
Tiwaz was another Sky-God that might be related to a Sun-deity and is of Proto-Indo-European origin as its original name “deiwós” literally means “to shine”. This is important if we want to understand the origin of the norse God BalduR.
 
We see, that many solar and sky deities are very ancient and old. The word “Sun” derives from to the Proto-Germanic dialect (according to Grimm’s law) “sunnÇ­”. In ancient Egypt, the Sun was tied to Ra and Horus and in Hindu-Mythology, the Sun God is connected to Mithra. Mithraism is very important in order to understand the concept of winter solstice and its connection to the christian Christmas.
 
The Sun as a life-giving force was worshipped as divine and sacred.

I love them!

I absolutely love these earrings. This is my second pair because I unfortunately lost a single earring and I missed them so much that I had to get another pair. Beautiful, lightweight and they get so many compliments. Thank you!

Absolutely perfect!

I just received my earrings yesterday and wore them all day. They are so lightweight and comfortable that I completely forgot I even had them on. They exceeded my expectations! Beautiful and comfortable.

Amazing

They were smaller than I thought but that doesn't at all take away from their beauty. I'm so happy I could finally afford your work!
