Bronze pendant with a detailed, high relief depiction of a very fierce, forceful being. An angry spirit.

Beings such as these can be found all over traditions of Buddhism, Hinduism and traditional shamanism. They are the fierce, wrathful or forceful aspects or manifestations of Buddhas, Bodhisattvas or Devas. In different traditions they hold slightly different meanings, but overall it can be said they are very strong protectors and guardians against demons, evil spirits and other negative influences. They guard the spiritual seeker on his path to wisdom, compassion and enlightenment, and aid him by transforming negative mental factors and destroying obstacles that may block the way.

In different traditions the Angry Deity has different names, such as Mahakala (the wrathful hypostasis of Shiva in Buddhism, guarding and protecting the teachings of the Buddha), Vajrapani (a symbol of the power of the Buddha, the deity of thunder, wearing a vajra and lasso to bind demons and remove obstacles on the way to enlightenment), Bhairava (the destructive aspect of Shiva in Hinduism, often wearing a weapon and a human head to symbolize the overcoming of limited beliefs) and Erlik-Khaan (supreme ruler of the Underworld).

They are often portrait as terrifying, demonic looking beings adorned with human skulls or bone ornaments and ritual weapons.

These pendants can be used as a personal protective amulet or for that purpose be sewn on your ritual costume or attributes. They come to us via our friends at Shaman Bazar. The pendant hangs on a yak leather cord, an animal that embodies perseverance, strength and the will to win. This cord is traditionally used for amulets such as this one, to further increase its dynamics.

Size: approximately 4 centimeters high. Weight; approximately 20 grams.
