Leopardo
 
Leopards are featured throughout ancient myth stories, its multicolored hide and behaviors serving as the basis for allegorical tales. Mystery, mysticism and magic have especially been attributed to the melanistic feline for millennia. Its sheer blackness suggests the night, the moon, primal darkness, and the energies that emerge from the depths. The ancient Greeks believed the panther was one of the favored mounts of the god Dionysus. In classical mythology, Dionysus, the god of wine, wears a leopard skin and is accompanied by leopards as he travels the earth, teaching the art of wine-making. Because the animal was a totemic symbol of Dionysus his priests wore the magical skins in representation. 

 

Tiger's Eye

 

Tiger’s Eye is a most ancient talisman, mysterious and powerful, revered and feared - an “all-seeing all-knowing eye,” thought to grant a wearer the ability to observe everything, even through closed doors. It was chosen by the Egyptians for the eyes in their deity statues to express divine vision, and was believed to provide the protection of the sun and earth combined, of Ra, the sun god and Geb, god of the growing land. Linked to the magical tiger, the king of beasts in Eastern mythology, Tiger’s Eye portrayed courage, integrity and right use of power. Roman soldiers carried it to deflect weapons and to be brave in battle. It has been highly regarded throughout history as a stone of prosperity and good fortune, protecting one’s resources and reflecting back malice or threats from others.
