This holiday season, we’re bringing you five luminous new charms to our PATH OF SYMBOLS collection. Each is embedded with a crystal – and each symbol has a story of its own.

Pegasus, the winged stallion, was mounted by legendary heroes. The divine horse came to symbolize everything from wisdom and fame to poetry and inspiration. With a dual-natured body, Pegasus unites opposites: air and earth, the spiritual and the human. He reminds us to let creative energy rise up within ourselves. When we’re inspired, we can make leaps and be propelled through challenges.

Dragons are found in mythologies all over the world. The gold dragon is the ultimate guardian and teacher, urging us to never lose our sense of wonderment. He provides strength and guidance when we feel lost. Master of the fire element and the sun, the dragon brings forth prosperity, reason, and illumination. With him, you can burn bright in the darkest of times.

Throughout history, the snake has been associated with healing, creation, and life-force. It enters our lives as an example of transformation. Just as the serpent sheds old skin to develop the new, we can turn negative into positive by letting go. Look to the snake as a reminder of self-reinvention: If you accept change, you can create yourself anew.

Dating from almost 10,000 BC, sphinxes are half-human, half-animal creatures. In the Greek tradition, the sphinx was believed to guard the city of Thebes with ferocity and wit. The largest, most famous example of a sphinx today is the Great Sphinx of Giza in Egypt.

Sacred knowledge is the sphinx’s domain. Speaking only in riddles, she challenges us to see beyond the physical realm – and to take a closer look within. Use this charm to remind yourself: Appearances only reveal so much.

Guardian Angels come into our lives as pure forms of energy. In times of need, they protect us, enlighten us, show us the way. Keep this charm close when you need to feel an extra set of wings.
