Based on the traditional Mano Fico, also known as the Figa, this pendant is intended to be a symbol to ward off evil and protect the wearer. The inspiration behind it was Hekate, the Greek goddess of witchcraft, the moon, and femininity. In her hands she carried a key and a torch. The key was to the underworld, and the torch illuminated the night.
In the story of Persephone, the Greek gods of Olympus searched high and low for her, and with the help of Hekate's torch, they found her trapped in the underworld. We hope that this torch will help protect and guide you through your darkest moments.
This Figa is completely hand-carved.
