This vibrant, glazed ceramic piece is titled "Hamingja's Charm," an homage to the ancient Norse concept of Hamingja (pronounced HAH-min-gyah).
A Spirit of Fortune and Protection
In Old Norse folklore, the Hamingja was a personal, spiritual double, a Guardian Spirit of Fortune, that was intrinsically linked to a person or family's inherent luck, prosperity, and power.
It was often said that the Hamingja could be passed down through generations, making it a precious, ancestral force. In its most common manifestation, the Hamingja would appear to its owner in dreams or during crises, frequently taking the form of an animal, such as a bird.
This "Hamingja's Charm" is a tangible symbol of ancestral luck and a visual reminder that a protective, personal spirit watches over the home.
