Creating concentric circles by hand is notoriously difficult, but thanks to the beading skills of the Zulu Gogo's of Nhlangwini, we are proud to bring you the Large Ancient Knowledge Medallion.
The handmade Ancient Knowledge Medallion is a beaded representation of the sacred and ancient BaKaRe symbol. This wondrous gift to humanity was left to us by the first humans who were called the BaKaRe (the Children of Light).
The 10 White Circles of Life with a black dot in the middle were used by the BaKaRe to explain many 'mysteries' of our Universe like, How did I get here?... Where do I go from here?... What is God?... Where is God?... What is life all about? and more.
Long ago, the information about our multi-dimensional Universe was known by the BaKaRe and while String Theory Physics may be the latest advance in today's scientific thought, the recent discovery of 12 dimensions is a "re-discovery" of lost BaKaRe knowledge.
We hope you enjoy wearing your Ancient Knowledge Medallion as it is truly spiritual art in a wearable form.
The large Ancient Knowledge Medallion can also be
displayed as a beautiful Wall Hanging

There is much that could be said about the handmade Zulu AIDS Baby Bead Badges but the message below says it all. Grant, one of our Endwebu volunteers, works with the AIDS Mothers who make the Baby Bead Badges, overheard a conversation between the mothers.
The women were talking and one of them said to the other as she finished the badges that '... at least she could feed her baby this month.'
Here in the epicenter of the AIDS Pandemic our second group is comprised of Gogos, (Zulu for Grandmothers). The death rate is so high in KwaZulu-Natal that 1 out of 20 people is an AIDS orphan. In places like rural Nhlangwini, Gogos are the only people left to care for many of the 440,000 AIDS orphans in KZN's 9 million person population. Our group of Gogos in Nhlangwini, located in western KwaZulu-Natal, create the AIDS Baby Bead Badges in a special sacred room used for ceremonies and prayers, overlooking the Sacred Mountain of Endwebu.
