TRINKETS by Ray Rhoton
POWER BRACELET SERIES
FACE THE STORM
The Pillar of Abundance and Gratitude. The Bison is the steady heartbeat of the prairie. It teaches that true strength is found in endurance and that walking through the storm—rather than running from it—is the way to find the green grass on the other side.
SHADOW POWER
The Ghost of the Subconscious. While the spotted Jaguar rules the day, the Black Jaguar rules the hidden. It is the guide for inner work, helping you move unseen through your own fears to find the "gold" hidden in your depths.
STILL POWER
The Herald of Transformation. Life begins in the water and moves to the land; the Frog is the bridge. It represents cleansing, emotional healing, and the bravery required to shed an old skin for a new one.
Balance POWER
By day, the frog is a ghost. It tucks its bright blue flanks under its belly, closes its massive crimson eyes, and pulls its orange feet tight. It becomes a mere bump of leaf-green skin, invisible to the hungry eyes of the toucan. It is the ultimate practitioner of active stillness.
POWER of slow
The Sage of Stillness. In a world that demands speed, the Sloth is a radical. It represents the wisdom of "Right Timing." It reminds you that being slow is not being lazy—it is being deliberate, peaceful, and fully present in the branches of life.
Memory POWER
The Keeper of Secrets and the Void. The Raven doesn't just fly; it navigates the "in-between." It is the guide for those who seek to turn shadow into insight and find the magic hidden in the dark.
strike POWER
The Master of the Physical Realm. The spotted Jaguar is the king of the "Now." It represents the integration of power and grace, reminding you that you have the strength to tackle even the most "armored" obstacles in your path.
perspective POWER
The Messenger of Clarity. With its "all-seeing" eye, the Hawk represents the perspective of the sun. It challenges you to rise above the chaos of the forest floor to see the patterns of your life from the heights.
disguise POWER
They are named for their piercing, repetitive call: "Kill-dee! Kill-dee!" In many folk traditions, they are seen as the "Sentinels of the Field," the first to sound the alarm when any stranger enters the territory.
POWER of moments
To witness an Oklahoma sunset is to absorb the entire horizon, the vast history of the red dirt, and the quiet awe of the open sky.
Matcha power
The Spirit of Ritual. More than a drink, it represents the "Alchemical Green." It is the guide for focus and sustained energy, teaching that the simplest acts—whisking tea, breathing deeply—are the foundations of a spiritual life.
courageous POWER
High in the dark underbelly of the storm clouds, the funnel moves with the terrible deliberation of an unstoppable machine. While ordinary weather passes over with a quick shower, the tornado reshapes the landscape through pure atmospheric intensity.
vita et mors
The Great Equalizer. It is not a symbol of fear, but of urgency. It whispers, "You are temporary; make it count." It serves as the reminder of life; beauty is precious because it is fleeting.
