Anansi - Garnet and Smokey Quartz pendant with spider carvings in .925 silver.

Anansi is a deity originating from Africa, notably the Akan people. He often takes the shape of a spider and is sometimes considered to be a god of all knowledge of stories.
Over time he also became the patron god of the African slave-diaspora in the Americas, being revered as trickster who challenged authority.
 
He is seen as a bridge between Nyame (the supreme god of the Akan people) and humans, using visions and oracular wisdom. Despite taking on the role of the trickster, Anansi's actions and parables often carry him as protagonist due to his ability to transform his apparent weaknesses into virtues.
 
This piece stands as a tribute to our own ability to triumph in moments of darkness. Not only overcome them, but to use those moments as a way to connect with the divine.
