The interpretation of the Symbols

Heavenly Master Seal (天师印)

Zhengyi Taoism and the Mount Longhu in China are very connected with the Celestial Masters tradition. Seals have traditionally been a part of Taoist ritual, and in the past were used to certify religious documents and talismans. This pendant represents the theme of the seal, and the motif's rich symbolic history.

The Mantra of the Nine Characters (九字真言)

Lin Bing Dou Zhe Jie Zhen Lie Qian Xing is the traditional writing of the Nine-Character Mantra. It is included in the Baopuzi written by Taoist scholar Ge Hong of the Eastern Jin dynasty. The term has become linked to later religious and cultural practices that have a protective aspect.

All of these motifs combine to make this pendant a unique link to Chinese religious history and traditional Chinese symbolic art.

This pendant is used as a cultural and decorative adornment. It has symbolism which can be personal or spiritual to the wearer, but wearing it does not ensure protection, good fortune or ensure any particular outcome.
