Snake Bookends FoundRae x Carl Aubock

Description
In collaboration with Carl Auböck, these limited addition Snake Bookends were inspired by the Snake Bookends rings and the extensive library at the FoundRae flagship. They hold your books upright and the snakes wrap around the spines, so they are visible and beautiful from all angles. Each piece is hand-cast from solid brass using the same traditional “lost wax” method of casting that FoundRae utilizes; making one piece at a time.

Wholeness

This piece is derived from the Wholeness Tenet. Wholeness encourages us to seek unity through growth and balance and, like a snake, to shed the skin we have outgrown. Below are the symbols and their meaning.

Crescent

From the Latin root word, crescere, to grow, reminding us that every day is a new day to work towards truth.

Fire Symbol

The divine triangle is associated with pyramids & sacred mountains;
within the elements it is Fire, representing the journey of self discovery &
transformation.

Snake

The snake is valued as a talisman of rejuvenation. In order to grow, it must shed its skin. Shown here with the Fire triangle, coupling rejuvenation with transformation.

Star

The star represents energy & divine guidance.
