 | "Beautiful handcast Sun charms enhanced by gold chain, Amber, and Swarovski Crystal complete this set. Earwire is 14kt gold. These pieces can vary from the picture, but all are beautiful and one of a kind. Mystic Lore: Deification and adoration of the sun occurred primarily in agrarian societies. Heliolatry, the worship of the sun, recognizes the sun as the giver of light, life and energy. One of the most important gods of Egyptian religion was Ra, the sun-god, who was considered the first king of Egypt. The pharaoh, said to be the son of Ra, was the sun-god's representative on earth. In later Egyptian religion, under the rule of Ikhnaton, the sun-god Aton gained complete supremacy in what was Egypt's only monotheistic period. In Mesopotamia, where sun worship was also very important, the sun-god Shamash was a major deity and was equated with justice. In Greece there were two sun deities, Apollo and Helios, although there was no institutionalized form of sun worship." Location: Hand-Crafted Size: Approx. 2" long. Weight: 1.0 lbs.
