Winged heart

Winged heart

From £85.00Sale Price

Domestic tart baking goddess or hot headed “off with their heads” hormonal matriarch. Which Queen of Hearts are you?Hearts are commonly associated with romance and love. Spiritually, our heart is our essence, our core, our true self where our wisdom of feeling emanates.(Rather than our wisdom of reason which comes from our brain). It represents a purity and truth which is unique to each one of us.

 

Winged: freedom, independence & inspiration

 

The winged heart necklace is inspired by an incredible lady called Jackie Moggridge. Born in South Africa, she was the first woman to do a solo parachute jump at the age of 17. Jackie came to the UK aged 18 to learn to become a pilot. Then the war broke out. She flew planes for the ATA in WW2, smuggled Spitfires into Burma in the 1950's, was one of only 5 women to receive full RAF wings in 1953 & became the first female passenger airline pilot in the UK - all whilst raising her family. She defied expectations & challenged societal norms for women. She also wrote poetry:

 

Flying High

My wings rise high

To join the race

Of scudding clouds across the blue

Exhilarating sky and space

That's filled with heavenly peace and grace.

 

Earth why should I return to you?

The sky is such a lovely blue

Oh Earth must I return to you?

 

You can read her memoirs in "Spitfire Girl - My Life in the Sky", available through Amazon.
