Winged heart
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.
