This small dreamcatcher, about 8 × 27 cm, unites the tree of life motif with the calm, milky tone of white jasper, with softly swaying feathers. A subtle, serene piece that fits nicely in a bedroom or a quiet corner.
The dreamcatcher tradition
The traditions of the Indigenous peoples of North America hold that the night air is full of dreams – gentle ones and troubling ones alike. A dreamcatcher hung above or beside the place of sleep is believed to filter them: good dreams slip through the web and glide down the feathers to the sleeper, while bad ones catch in the threads and fade by dawn. This is a respectfully kept tradition.
White jasper – within tradition
White jasper is a dense, opaque chalcedony with a smooth-polished, milky-white surface. Tradition knows it as a stone of calm and grounding, a nurturing, soothing accent. Here the inlay lends the piece a soft, neutral glow.
The tree of life motif
At the centre of the web sits the tree of life, spreading its branches and roots across the art of many cultures. Tradition knows it as a symbol of life, growth and the connection of the generations.
