Mountain Ring
This ring is part of the Mother collection, an homage to my mom. It is inspired by Mother Nature and the female body.
Various cultures around the world maintain the importance of mountain worship and sacredness. One example is the Taranaki of New Zealand. The surrounding Māori Iwis from this area center their whole life around the sacred mountain. Morgan Casey of the Ngati Porou Iwi of Aotearoa (who co-created this message) notes that this sacred mountain has actually has been granted the same legal rights as a person! Meaning that if the Mount is damaged in any way, the perpetrators will be held accountable as if they were abusing a person! Isn’t that cool? The rivers that flowed down its steep terrain fed the plants, animals, and gave the tribe all they needed for life. They place this mountain into a context of a love story, spelling out the history of their creation in a battle over love, defeat, and a happy ending where this Taranaki Mountain found love with a neighboring volcano. This narrative plays out in the lives of the tribesmen and woman where the mountain is their love, their life force. Life is given from it, and when life is taken away, the people are ultimately returned to the mountain.
