** Made to Order **

Hand-carved from reclaimed yew wood, this Hei Toki (adze) pendant draws on the strength of ancient forms and sacred materials. Its central line is inlaid with fragments of mixed Pounamu (New Zealand greenstone), each piece set in place with UV resin — a tribute to the union of heritage and craft, spirit and survival.

🌳 Yew Wood – Tree of Life and Death

Yew Wood Lore
• Tree Type: Taxus baccata (European Yew)
• Wood Characteristics: Rich reddish-brown grain, symbolically linked to endurance, cycles of life, and protection.
• Cultural Use: Sacred in Druidic, Norse, and Celtic traditions — often planted in graveyards and places of spiritual significance, representing rebirth and connection between the living and the departed.

The yew tree is steeped in ancient symbolism — immortality, resilience, and the threshold between worlds. Revered in Celtic, Norse, and British traditions, it was seen as both protector and portal. Its wood is known to carry energies of transformation, ancestral guidance, and deep inner strength, making it a powerful base for sacred tools and talismans.

Endurance, Immortality, and Transformation

Yew trees can live for thousands of years, often regenerating from within their own hollow trunks. This unique trait makes them a powerful emblem of eternal life, rebirth, and the cycle of transformation.
In Celtic and Druidic lore, yew is linked with ancestral wisdom and the threshold between worlds — both life and death, past and future.
Protection and Sacredness

Often planted in graveyards and near sacred sites in Europe, the yew tree was thought to guard souls, protect the living, and honour the dead.
Its toxic nature also added to its reputation as a tree of power, demanding respect and care.
Meditation and Magic

Yew wood was used in ritual tools and longbows, carrying intent, precision, and focus.
Energetically, it's said to enhance introspection, deepen spiritual connection, and act as a guide through shadow work and healing journeys.

Hei Toki – Symbol of Strength and Authority

In Māori tradition, the Hei Toki carries the mana of the adze tool — a symbol of craftsmanship, leadership, and clear intent. Traditionally worn by those who carved paths — both in the land and in life — the Hei Toki is now a pendant of empowerment, wisdom, and purpose.

Mixed Pounamu Inlay – A Family of Stones

Pounamu Inlay
• Sourced from mixed Pounamu offcuts — nephrite jade, bowenite, and serpentine varieties
• Mineral Type: Nephrite jade (Ca₂(Mg,Fe)₅Si₈O₂₂(OH)₂)
• Spiritual Significance: Regarded as taonga (treasure) in Māori culture, Pounamu holds mauri (life force), and is believed to offer strength, protection, and ancestral connection to its wearer.

Each chip of Pounamu in your pendant carries its own identity — a different mineral makeup, energy, and connection to land. When combined, they create a truly special blending of spirits. Here’s a look at what that can mean:

Spiritual Symbolism

Unity in Diversity – Just like people, each stone fragment has a voice, and together they form a whānau (family) — diverse, imperfect, and strong. The mix becomes a talisman of inclusion, balance, and shared strength.
Whakapapa (lineage) – Every type of Pounamu is a child of Aotearoa’s mountains and rivers. A mix of these stones is a reminder of one’s connection to the land, ancestors, and purpose.
Transformation & Healing – Once discarded or broken, these offcuts now return as a cohesive offering — representing resilience, healing, and the sacredness of second chances.

Each chip of Pounamu in this inlay is a fragment of the land itself. Reclaimed from jewellery offcuts, they carry their own whakapapa (lineage), now brought together in unity. These may include:

Kawakawa for protection and strength of heart
Inanga for peace and emotional clarity
Kahurangi for insight and sacred potential
Marsden for grounding and deep connection to place
Tangiwai for emotional flow and healing
Bound in one form, they represent the beauty of diversity, resilience, and collective mauri (life force).

Gran guides Wren as she processes her feelings through art
Format: Hardcover, Format: Hardcover
This book is a treasure on many levels. Though written for children, it would make a lovely gift for an adult walking through disappointments or questioning God. As an aunt, I desire to be like Gran as I love, respond to, and guide the children in my life. It can be uncomfortable to see children sit in disappointment. Yet, Gran doesn't try to rescue Wren. Rather, she guides her to process and then express her feelings through art. Gran gives Wren judgment-free space to identity and feel her own feelings and then encourages her to express those honest feelings to God in a prayer painting. As with Brown's adult books, this is an inviting, loving, gentle, practical, soul care book. And, as with her novels, I am somehow a participant in the book or a fly on the wall, longing for the story to continue. The lovely illustrations bring the words to life and make me want to pick up a paintbrush myself. Well done!

A precious book for all ages.
Format: Hardcover
I just received this beautiful book and like all of Sharon Garlough Brown’s books it touched my heart. I know and love Wren as an adult from Sharon’s novels. The artist captures young Wren perfectly. When I say this book is for all ages I found the message to be a personal blessing as I travel a season of some tough feelings. I was also reminded how important my role of Grandmother is, Please Dear Lord give me a heart like Gram’s. “Not Finished Yet” will now always be sitting out on a table in my home as a daily reassurance of God’s love of all my feelings and to provide beautiful words and artwork to share with others.
