Protector of life, barrier of safety, circle of defence.
origins
From bronze shields of Greece to painted Celtic rounds, shields carried both power and story — protection joined with identity.
meaning
Safety, defence, honour. The shield symbolises boundaries that guard what is sacred.
today
A shield speaks of resilience, personal limits, and the courage to protect self and community.
practice
Visualise a glowing shield around you. Ask: what do I need to guard so my energy stays clear?
endurance
The shield endures because every age calls for protection — not to hide, but to hold safe what matters.
