The year 2025 is the Year of the Snake. Snakes, which repeatedly shed their skin and grow stronger and larger, are auspicious creatures that symbolize vitality and growth. They are also considered to be messengers and incarnations of Benzaiten, the god of business prosperity and wealth. At Nara's Omiwa Shrine, said to be the oldest shrine in Japan, the white snake is considered an incarnation of the god Omononushi-no-Okami and is affectionately known as "Mi-sama" (Snake-sama). Crystal is said to be a crystal of water, where the energy of water has condensed. Water, the source of all life, purifies everything and leads to purity. It is a natural stone that has a deep connection with the Ryujin (Dragon God) and Mi-sama, who govern water. This is a unique natural stone of Mi-sama, offered to the "Mi no Kami Sugi" (Snake God Cedar) and purified with the sacred water of the Yakui-do well at Omiwa Shrine, receiving the power of Mi-sama. Please consider it as a lucky charm for 2025. Crystal Necklace Necklace top size: Approximately 6.0cm (Measured with a household scale.
