Kategorie: Gargoyles

There lies a story of mystique, history, and resilience. 

From the ancient temples of Bali to the towering spires of Notre Dame, these guardians of stone have transcended time and culture, offering protection and inspiration to those who seek it.

In architecture, a gargoyle is a carved stone grotesque, usually made of granite, with a spout. Designed to convey water from a roof and away from the side of a building. Architects often used multiple gargoyles on buildings to divide the flow of rainwater. Gargoyles are usually elongated animals because the length of the gargoyle determines how far water is thrown from the wall.

Gargoyles are said to protect those they guard from evil or harmful spirits.

In this collection, we highlight gargoyles you can find worldwide. The symbols in the silver gargoyle beads represent aspects of the specific country's culture. Use them as your power symbols. For your inner world, these gargoyles remind you that you can be free from fears and live your life as you wish.

Dare to be amazed.

Love,

Frank & the Black Raven Beads team.
