Cat leaping over crescent moon pendant (sterling silver)

Cat - Magic, intuition, subconscious
In this definition we are mainly referring to the domesticated cat.

Cats are creatures of the night, often sleeping and dreaming in the daytime while going out at night to hunt. Because of this association with the night they are often represented as mysterious and magical. Cats are often depicted with witches and this is often related to shape shifting - i.e. a witch taking the form of a cat when they wish to. Cats are often in fairy stories as wise or cunning creatures. In many traditions, such as in Egypt (see Bast), the cat was worshipped or held in very high esteem.

To wear or have near you the symbol of cat is to state your intention to commune more with your deeper magical self and to connect more with your dreams. The energy of cat is mainly about intuition and accessing our subconscious.

Moon - Intuition, feminine, psychic
Throughout many traditions the sun represents the father and male principle and the moon the mother and feminine principle. The energy of the moon is intuitive, deep, subtle, feminine and psychic. To say this is a feminine energy does not mean to say this energy is just for women. Men and women have their female and male aspects. We all develop them both.

The moon is also associated with clairvoyance and knowing without thinking. To use the energy of the moon does not involve conscious thought. So to wear or have around you the symbol of the moon is to state your universal intention to use your intuition, to simply go with what you feel and to know that to do this is for your greater good.

The moon has different phases and throughout these phases it affects us in different ways. For example the full moon represents illumination, unconscious made conscious and all can be seen. The crescent moon symbolises new beginnings and the making of dreams into reality. Because of this cyclic nature the moon it is also connected to rebirth and how our true essence really is immortal.

Peter Koslowski had been working on merchant ships since 1983 while living in Sri Lanka and was fortunate to be exposed to an abundance of precious stones and he began to purchase and trade them, as well as silver. During this period he also studied gemology and jewellery making in a number of countries. This then lead to the founding of the Peter Stone Company in 1992 in Bangkok, Thailand, where he still resides.
