Double Axe - Pendant, Pewter

For the spiritual warrior the axe symbolized absolute control over the own mind and complete self-awareness, because it cuts the veil of self-deception into pieces with its blade and unsheathes the true causes and motives. Its proper use required intensive training and a natural talent for axe-combat and therefore a master of the double axe was esteemed by friend and foe. Once the double axe was the main weapon of Nordic warriors and was used offensively as well as defensively.
 
This pendant is made of pewter. The word pewter is probably a variation of the word spelter, a colloquial name for the same metal. Artists and craftsmen used pewter quite early (dinnerware, sculptures, household articles, pewter figures, jewelry) and hence pewter jewelry has a long tradition. Pewter is a popular material for jewelry production, since it is a shiny, soft metal which is very malleable and has a good tarnish resistance.
