The main concept of the Umbra Mortis jewelry - the seat of the soul
We are used to perceive the skull as a symbol of death. However, the symbolism of the skull is not limited to this meaning. The image of the skull was initially interpreted by various nationalities as a sign of immortality, life force, fruitfulness, divine wisdom, knowledge, protection of ancestors. In the minds of the soldiers, it was an emblem of valor and readiness to sacrifice their life in the battle for Motherland. In many ancient cultures, the skull was an expression of the soul seat, vital energy and intelligence.
Images of skulls, crossbones and skeletons have a double meaning: it means not only death, but also the victory of life over death and even immortality. That is why in some ancient cultures the image of a skull is used as a talisman. And this very idea is reflected in the slogan of our brand "Death is not the end".
People started to wear jewelry and clothes with the image of a skull a long time ago. Stories and films
about the lives of great warriors, hunters, princes and even kings contain numerous references to the fact that they used the symbolism of skulls of all kinds many centuries ago. So even if the motivation of modern people to wear jewelry differs from their ancestors, the idea of choosing a symbol with a long history is equally valid and fully meets the requirements of modern society.
