The Wayfinder Totem Icelandic Lava Rock Bracelet.
The Bracelet and Bead were born from the original WayFinder Totem and it’s counterpart the Doubloon, but the meaning and story remain the same.
The Story
Through a career in the military and my work with various charities I’ve had the great fortune of meeting some amazing people from all walks of life. During this time I’ve come to realise we all struggle, whether physically or emotionally and, more importantly, none of us are perfect. With this in mind I wanted to have something that reminded me to ‘keep shit real’.
Through various discussions with both serving and ex military friends, the WayFinder Totem was born.
The Bead
An Icelandic WayFinder dominates one side, a mythical symbol that was used to help people find their way through stormy weather. The Icelandic inscription reads ‘As others withdraw, Always push on’. The reverse provides a broken Moral Compass that doesn’t point true North - no one is perfect!
For those who have seen the film Inception, a totem is used to allow the holder to know they are in the real world. I loved that concept, hence the name and therefore reminding you to ‘keep shit real’ when you have it with you.
The Bracelet
Most will know Iceland is my second home, it’s a place that allows reflection and the ability to level out. During recent visits I was fortunate to witness the spectacular Volcanic Eruptions - a once in a lifetime experience. To help share this experience the Lava Rock for these bracelets was picked from the 2 most recent volcanic eruptions and turned into beads.
