Lisa Brightstar Claudedebussy: "The sacred circle, four directions.. Independent we stand as individuals, at the same time we are woven into the intrinsic tapestry of life. Strength comes from the center; of knowing ourselves , our souls, and being well rooted there. Reaching outwards, we add strength to our community, to our friends , all beings… ALL ways individual and all ways a part of the tapestry of life on this sacred planet."

I see a fair Celtic Lady in garnet velvet brocade smiling into her love’s eyes as the nobles and ladies swirl and dance about them in the great hall festooned with tree boughs and red ribbons.
You do not often see straight lines in Celtic designs, I see waves in this pie…
the flow of the sea all around Ireland and most of Scotland.
See rain/river/sea maze. a guiding magnetic affection glistens
In this gorgeous pendant, I see four hearts, four bodies, four lives, and four directions, all gathered and entwined, as we are all entwined, into a whole. I feel the balance, and see the beauty of One in All.
Togetherness, Everything in life is connected, Direction (North, South, East, West), Elemental (Water, Fire, Earth, Wind), Balance, Unity.
