Fate Socks
Description: In the grand tapestry of the cosmos, some say a sacred weaver connects all threads of destiny. This design is the weaver itself. A mystical spider, poised under a crimson sun and framed by celestial symbols, represents creation, patience, and the intricate, often unseen patterns that shape our lives. It is a powerful totem for the creators and the dreamers.
Description: From an original engraving The faiths of the World by James Gardner. Published circa 1860 by Fullarton & Co. The Trimurti meaning three forms is personified by Brahma the creator, Vishnu the preserver, and Shiva the destroyer or transformer. Please note with regard to scanned antique prints there may be some age related marks or faults from the originals which will show also on any print ordered. This is inevitable with prints of this age & actually lends an authentic look to the prints.
Description: Based on East Asian myth and my favourite Don Bluth film, the Red Thread of Fate connects two individuals meant to be soulmates, even before they are fated to meet. It's unclear to me why I've seen crows associated with red string, I've tried to find their significance, but I do love the imagery. Jeremy from The Secret of NIMH and the crow on the cover of the album "Transatlanticism" are singular and tangled up in red string, which indicates loss or a failure to meet someone to build a nest with. At least the end of The Secret of NIMH is more hopeful, which inspired this piece.
