A birdman? Is that a Balinese lucky charm? But where could this type of symbol come from?
The animal of which we are now going to offer you a description is a Balinese lucky charm imbued with legend, mythology and very modern symbolism.
This kind of garuda birdman pendant holds a special place in the hearts of the people of the island of Bali.
In reality, the garuda is primarily a bird-man from Hindu mythology. It can somehow be seen as a mixture of an eagle and a human. This creature is one of the "vehicles" (vahana) of the god Vishnu and regularly appears at his side.
In Balinese Hinduism, the garuda bird-man also represents birth and paradise.
His eagle-like qualities also make him the enemy of all snakes (real or spiritual).
In the Bhagavata Purana (a Hindu legend), the garuda fights and rebuffs Kaliya, the fearsome multi-headed serpent.
Another story tells us that the bird-man Garuda would devour evil men.
In short, it is a creature that is best to be wary of... but which nevertheless possesses great powers!
This Garuda bird-man pendant should therefore not be put into everyone's hands. If, however, you know how to deal with his character, he can prove to be a great ally and a powerful protector.
