Hey Zer0sig. The totem is kinda off topic, but the origins are really off topic. I'll see if I can figure out a way to "pontificate" without offending anyone.

The totem was designed to make one do what humans seem highly capable of; to think. The emphasis is on one's own priorities, that's why I used "open spaces" (holes). Mine are my own, and I find each has his or her reasons for their own.

The origin was to find universal powers/forces/values based on what yielded to what. For more than 20 years, I placed "time" as the highest force/value. The logic was that all things yielded to time. Even thought occurs in sequence and sequence requires time. Without time, everything would happen at once. Einstein says we can bend time, but not eliminate it. Change requires time...so even change yields to time. (a start ;) )

Hi Spyken.

I plan on making the totems available. email me if you're interested.

Thanks Sal
Today, after the thread was revived I felt inspired again by Sal, went to my garage and made two of this unique totem out of copper. The first one I made for my wife and then made another one for myself :)
Again, thanks Sal for the inspiration :) :cool:
Be well all Arnon

Hi Alejandrino,

Yes, they are availabe in several materials.

Gail is planning on adding the Jade pieces next week. Green, Lavendar and a very light green. The Jade is less expensive than the ivory, gold and silver.

If there is enough demand, we'll add other materials.

Nice job Arnon. I believe we would all do better to pay attention to what's important in our lives.

Thanks Sal
I woke up this morning wondering if it was o.k. to make one, I feel like I should have asked you before I copied your totem. Did not think of that last night, was too excited about making it. If you feel it is not o.k., please let me know and I will not wear it...Sorry :confused: , but better late than never:rolleyes:

Be well Arnon
 
Hi Arnon,

I'm honored that you would be so moved.

I don't think it is your goal to go into business selling sal's totems.

I am very excited about the jade totems. I hope they match the color of my fiancees eyes!

Hi Sal,

I know this is a old post but after reading the meaning behind the totem I decided to purchase one to help remind me to keep the main things the main thing in life. I recently bought a titanium totem pendant two weeks ago when I visited the Spyderco Factory Outlet Store and I love it but I can't find a necklace/chain that will fit the hole that is long enough. My current chain necklace is 24" long.

Any recommendations?
 
This is the first time I'm reading this as I must have missed it back in the day. The values totem is pretty cool.

Sal, would you ever make any out of steel or titanium and sell them? That would be most excellent. Heck maybe even micarta or G10 or something else. Dupont Corian...
 
That is an interesting piece and very special. I don't own one, and probably won't as they are hard to find. However, the values I would place in there are:
Faith
Family
Kindness
Courage/Strength
Peace

Thanks for not locking the thread. This is a good one.
 
A rare occasion I'm happy seeing necro thread. This was during my hiatus from BF :thumbup:
Edit to add, just realized it's a 12 years old thread, a full Chinese zodiac circle to this date.
