Called a kartika or Drigug, this is a Tibetan magickal weapon often carried by Dakinis (semi wrathful female deities that help the meditator integrate magickal powers) such as the Vajrayogini. The kartika is a symbol of prajna wisdom cutting through delusion Look closely and you'll see that the handle is 1/2 of a dorje that ends in a stylized elephant. Drigug's are worn or carried to chop up demons encountered on a journey - the elephant is a demon that has come over to our side and is a warning to other demons! Beware the dakini with a drigug. It looks fabulous with a stone at the to middle of the top, add $10. |
