The Scales of the Crimson Oath is a hand-assembled mixed-metal talisman embodying the ancient symbolism of balance, judgment, and sovereign will. The pendant’s blackened gothic cross form unfolds into articulated scale arms, each bearing sculpted crimson butterfly sigils — a powerful emblem of transformation through trial. Suspended beneath the central axis rests a third matching glyph, completing the triad of ascent, descent, and equilibrium that defines initiatory passage.
Rendered in lacquered obsidian tones layered with blood-red enamel detailing, this talisman represents the weighing of inner truth against external deception — the moment where identity is no longer determined by inherited narratives or imposed authority, but by the courage to stand in moral and philosophical self-ownership. The butterfly forms serve as symbols of metamorphosis: what endures judgment is not the former self, but the sovereign consciousness that rises beyond it. The Scales of the Crimson Oath is not a decorative emblem but a ritual artifact — worn as a reminder that the greatest trial is not imposed from without but undertaken within the psyche itself.Hand-assembled mixed-metal art jewelry by Lucian Seraphis for Occulta Magica Designs.
