Let me tell you a story about a handcrafted silver filigree locket inspired by a norse mythology and a little bit by the Sandman series aired on Netflix.
The Myth
The ancient myth says that Unelma, the norse Goddess of Dreams, once found a lost dreamer wandering around her halls. “How dare you invade my castle without an invitation?”, she asks with anger. “I’m terribly sorry, Your Majesty”, the poor boy desperately replied, “I have no idea how I got here and I got lost… I’m just trying to find my way home”. Unelma looked in his big scared eyes and said playfully: “I will show you the way, but first you shall amuse me with a riddle”.
The boy was so frightened and exhausted and thoughts were running inside his head hecticly. And out of nowhere he suddenly remebers a riddle from a game he used to play and claims:
“Often will I spin a tale, never will I charge a fee. I’ll entertain you an entire eve, but alas, you won’t remember me. What am I?”
Unelma thought for a while and replied: “I do not know the answer to your riddle nor have I heard this one before. You did very well and not only I will send you home, I will reward you with a gift if only you would give me the answer to your riddle”. “It’s what we are in now, Your Majesty”, the boy said humbly, “the Dream!”.
As the legend goes, this boy woke up with something squeezed in his hand. It was a beautiful piece of prehnite stone with dark inclusions of epidote mineral. He never parted from this magical stone since.
Unfortunately, the description of the amulet is nowhere to be found throughout the mythology. However, it is generally known that Unelma loves books and she never refuses the offering with prehnite stones, especially the one with epidote inclusions.
Hence, I crafted this locket based on all the clues I could find to make it look as close as possible to the amulet from the story. The USB stick will come handy to store your dreams, but it can also hold any tokens from your awaken life.
