One of the positive things of quarantine is that we are discovering our authentic selves I have been exploring a more dark design aesthetic with goth style and witchy inspiration - a unique edge all its own. This “beyond the veil” talisman vessel is packed with the symbolism of bats, hands, spider webs and opals. Opal is an emotional stone and reflects the mood of the wearer. It intensifies emotions and releases inhibitions. Encourages both freedom and independence. In Greek lore, the index finger on the mouth is the symbolic attitude of Polyhymnia, the muse responsible for songs and dances to the deities, and Nemesis, the goddess of punishment and vengeance. Commonly, the index finger was used to curse enemies and currently it is considered rude to point with the index finger or to shake it at someone. However, the hand also signifies protection, authority, power, and strength. The bat spirit animal is the night’s guardian, just like the owl spirit animal. It lurks in the dark with senses on high alert.

When the bat totem makes its presence felt in your life, it means that you have to prepare for major changes and transitions.

You need to be aware of everything that’s happening around you and rely fully on your senses, as well as on your clairvoyant and psychic abilities. Contrary to popular belief, the bat meaning is not of death and destruction. At least, not in a literal sense.

It signals the end of something in your life, like a job, a relationship, a friendship, or even a leasing contract. It can even symbolize the end of bad habits and old perceptions you have about yourself.
