| Graduation gift - for good luck after graduating |
| An Indalo can say "Well done" and "Good luck for the future"
For many, graduation is one of the rites of passage of life, along with birth, marriage and death, and it is a cultural tradition which usually includes a ceremony. Graduations establish solidarity amongst friends and companions and can represent the movement to another stage of life to face new responsibilities, opportunities and even dangers.
Do you know someone who could benefit from some good luck wishes for the future, at their Graduation?
|
Send good luck wishes to a friend, loved-one or work colleague for their Graduation . . Watch your friends and loved-ones benefit from your good luck wishes . . so that their dreams can come true and they can become successful, wealthy, more secure - whatever they want, finding friendship and happiness and achieving their goals. See SHOP for range of GRADUATION gifts.

The graduation ceremony itself dates back many years but the modern equivalent with its ceremonial robes is probably most closely associated with the scholastic monks of the 12th Century. Of course, apart from dress wear, tradition is central to the ceremony and is usually specific to the particular school, college or university. For years (begining in the 15th Century) Oxford University required each bachelor to deliver his speech in Latin.

Class rings worn on the finger or hung round the neck are a popular tradition for high schools and colleges, showing pride of association and as a symbol of entrance into the world of adulthood - a good-luck charm or a demonstration of the worthiness of belonging to the group. In Japan, it is the so-called "second button" that is used . . whereby, on graduation day at junior high and high schools, a male graduate may give the second button of his uniform to the female student he likes the most. It is the second button because it is located closest to the heart. Popular boys often end up handing over other their entire uniform including nametags, cuff links, collar studs, and school pins.

We also have hand-crafted lucky charm-stones which come from Almeria in southern Spain close to where the original Indalos were discovered. This is a region of ancient culture believed to be the origin of the Neolithic civilisation that spread up into the whole of northern Europe between 4000 and 2000 BC - and the beginning of a megalithic era that was one of the great periods of Spanish and European history and included the construction of the mystical monuments of Stonehenge and Avebury in Britain. Cave paintings of Indalo-type shapes mingle with representations of suns, spirals, animals and labyrinths, each with their own mystical and esoteric meaning.
The Indalo shape (whether it be classical like Leonardo da Vinci's Vitruvian Man, or spiritual as in the Rainbow Warrior of the ancient North American Indian Cree tribe), is a popular symbol (like the clover leaf, horseshoe, or ladybird) used to pass on good luck sentiments to friends and family.
