Sacred Items

Our intricately hand carved, alabaster-like stone tile features the three revered Incan animal totems of the three worlds: Amaru, the Serpent, representing the lower world; Otorongo, the Jaguar, denizen of the middle world; and Kuntur, the Condor, soaring in the upper world. These three representatives are carved in bas relief over many other symbols of Andean cosmology.  Some backbround symbols may vary slightly from photo in their placement.  Expertly carved by shamanic artists, Abelaro and Luz Marina in Peru.

Bells and dorjes are used in many Tibetan Buddhist rituals. The bell symbolizes the feminine principle, the wisdom of emptiness, while the dorje, or vajra, symbolizes the masculine principle, that of compassion expressed through skillful means. The union of these two principles is enlightened mind. Our beautifully and intricately decorated bell and dorje set is crafted in the Tibetan Lingtsang colony in northern India.
