SWAN – THE BIRD OF LIFE

Symbol of beauty, sincerity, honesty, purity, fidelity ...

Sculpture (36 cm x 22 cm x 11,5 cm, porcelain, gilding (18ct gold), white glaze)

The energy of a swan envelops us with beauty, grace, poetry and harmony. The swan is known for its beautiful, gracefully arched neck and the pristine whiteness of its feathers. It is associated with the purifying power of water and emotions, and it symbolises innocence, sincerity, honesty, purity, faultlessness and spiritual beauty. As it combines the elements of water and air, many cultures consider it the bird of life.
The swan chooses a partner for life, and therefore it is seen as a symbol of fidelity and eternal love.
Its beautiful and dignified posture has earned it the reputation of being a royal bird. Due to its courage, strength and fearlessness, the swan is also a symbol of physical power.
Just like the Slovenian Lipizzaner horse, the swan is born black or grey and later turns brilliant white. Thus, the swan is also a symbol of transformation.
Swans are loyal companions of the Slovenian town of Bled. Its name was probably derived from the Slovenian word for WHITENESS (»bled« in Slovenian meaning »pale«), designating the white glow that reflects off the surface of the magical lake. The lake and its island form a circle and a spot – which is the oldest symbol for highlighting the God residing in human beings.

THE ENERGY OF GOLDEN REFLECTION

The colour gold symbolises abundance, wealth, prestige, prosperity and luxury. It is the colour of success, achievements, triumph and optimism. It is associated with quality, prestige, sophistication and elegance. Gold attracts the eye and represents inspiration and the activation of spiritual energy. It can improve mental and physical health, while also lighting the way to future goals and bringing success, since it is associated with the energy of the sun and, in turn, with life energy, strength and self-confidence. It helps to achieve spiritual enlightenment and to gain knowledge and a deeper understanding of one’s own self and soul. It celebrates successes and motivates people to reach their potential. Gold is optimistic and positive, and adds richness and warmth to everything it is associated with, thus illuminating and enhancing other things around it as well. The colour gold increases passion and charisma, as well as compassion and understanding.

Gold is a sacred colour in both religious and magical contexts. It represents divine qualities, which is why many of the objects used in sacred rituals are made of gold or gold-coloured. It is associated with pre-eminence, has a frequency of higher protection, and signifies total integration and spiritual service.

Why plate items in gold? Because humans also have a little gold in their bodies. What connects the individual human to their soul in the physical sense is gold. This connection is ‘golden’. Unless one ‘gilds’ oneself spiritually, one cannot come closer to God, to knowing oneself, to a deeper realisation that one is a spiritual being. A spiritual being can only develop in a physical body.
