The Wings Silk Scarf<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

This scarf is inspired by the timeless beauty of winged spinning distaffs. With totemic symbolism and carrying messages of eternal love, these distaffs were once crafted by shepherds who journeyed to the mountains with the Feast of Saints Constantine and Helen and returned at Saint Demetrius\u2019 Day. Their motivation? Love. These distaffs were gifts for their sweethearts or fianc\u00e9es. The young women would either choose to keep the received distaff or refuse it, often by breaking it\u2014a decisive gesture of rejecting the shepherd\u2019s affection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If the shepherds knew how to write, the distaffs would often bear engravings of the year, the name of their beloved, and sometimes verses of love. Typically, these gifts were presented during gatherings known as \u201c\u0219ez\u0103tori,\u201d symbolic and affectionate gestures steeped in tradition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The distaff engraved with the name Alice is inspired by an exhibit at the \u201cIoan Raica\u201d Municipal Museum in Sebe\u0219, originating from the village of \u0218ugag. The remaining distaffs are based on old designs of broken distaffs collected from M\u0103rginimea Sibiului by Octavian Goga in the village of Tili\u0219ca and published in\u00a0Luceaf\u0103rul, no. 4, February 15, 1906.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The symbolism of the spinning distaff extends beyond the romantic realm; they narrate an ancient story, as old as humanity itself:\u00a0\u201ca fundamental narrative of primordial cosmogony, where the mountain\u2014cosmic tree and altar alike\u2014served by Venus and guarded by Mars, protects the Universal Spirit, which \u2018has made its dwelling in the Sun,\u2019 as David wrote in Psalm 18\u201d\u00a0(Ion Dr\u0103gu\u0219anul).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
