The year was 1995. This was the first-ever item I bought off the Internet, at a time when e-commerce was new and very few people knew how to avail of it. When everyone else finally did, all the magic shops in the Philippines lost their business.

This is a pewter, Robin Hood of Locksley, Celtic cross. In the center is a malachite cabochon. The three rings round the cross represent the three layers of creation or consciousness. It is also said that the ring represents the Roman sun-god Invictus, which is why many people also call the Celtic Cross the Sun Cross.
