Clown jewelry symbolism and meaning
Every thing we wear carries on a certain symbol. This is especially true for jewelry, and in particular, clown brooches.
A strong symbol of the mind, the clown scoffs at everything serious in the world. He is cynical and uses humor to show people that they are too serious. He reminds us that to be a man is to make mistakes, to laugh and fool around.
However, the clown is a dual symbol. On the one hand, he reminds that you need to laugh and not take all things very seriously, on the other hand – the clown is an ominous character.
Like the jester, the clown is the mystical sign of the transformed king — the inversion of the possessor of higher authority. Thus, the clown is a substitute victim (with a close astrobiological and primitive idea of the ritual murder of the ruler). The clown is the last, while the king is the first, but in the mystical order of things the last becomes the second closest to the first.
AJC Clown brooch. 5 cm. Jewellery alloy, vintage. Clown jewelry symbolism and meaning
Noteworthy, there is a certain way to set up a decoration for protection. First, sit comfortably, put a brooch in your palm and cover it with the second from above. Then, feel (eyes closed) the brooch touching it – surface structure, heat, weight, tickling, and pleasure owning the brooch. Imagine the cloud around the brooch and, mentally, inhale the cloud in yourself, and redirect back to the decoration.
Now, you may wear it whenever you want to be protected from deception or bad people. Yes, use the brooch only in such cases, that would serve as protection for a long time. Also, such “charged” brooch can attract money or success in business.
