Based on the traditional Figa the Mano Fica, this pendant is intended to be a symbol to ward of evil and protect the wearer. The inspiration behind it was Hekate, the greek god of witchcraft, the moon, and femininity. In her hands she carried a key and a torch. The key was to the underworld and the torch illuminated the night.  In the story of Persephone, the daughter of Demeter was kidnapped by Hades. The greek gods of Olympus searched high and low for her and with the help of Hekate's torch, they found her trapped in the underworld. We hope that this torch will help protect and guide you thru your darkest moments. This Figa is completely hand carved.
