Per Wikipedia: “The Tibetan ThogChag is traditionally believed to contain a magical, protective power comparable to Tibetan DZI beads.”
You see, they’re made with meteorites from the sky (heaven) and alloyed with Copper.
‘Pashupati’ of the Indus Valley was an ancient precursor to Hindu’s Shiva. and later the Celtic, Wiccan ‘Cernunnos’.
But Pashupati was worshipped in 3000BC: it wasn’t until 400BC when Cernunnos was ‘born’ in the West.
Shiva the Destroyer, as He evolved from Pashupati is the most ancient and powerful of all Hindu deities. He is the ultimate adversary, adversarial to those aspects of the self that keep one from progressing upon ‘the path’
Pahupati is the personification of Life Force Energy in animals and the wild,and is associated withthe wilderness, virility and the hunt.
It is said the Horned God represents the \'natural Eros\', a masculine lover subjugating the social-conformist nature of the female shadow, thus encompassing a combination of theunknown side of humanityand hostility.
The accompanying GIT assay verifies this antique mini-Masterpiece Tibetan Lord Brahma-head ThogChag iscast from an amalgam of Copper and meteoritic metals, primarily Zinc with Lead, Tin, Iron & Nickel.
