# Divination Disk of Pergamon Pendant Necklace

## An Ancient Divination Amulet from Pergamon

This divination amulet recreates a bronze disk unearthed in Pergamon, an ancient Greek city in modern Turkey. Discovered in 1899, the original disk now resides in the Staatliche Museen zu Berlin. The word divination comes from the Latin term meaning to foresee or to be inspired by God.

The convex side of this divination amulet holds four concentric circles, each divided into eight segments. Inside them are magical characters, Egyptian hieroglyphs, Greek letters, and the seven Greek vowels. Ancient magicians believed these vowels represented the seven known planets. Together they were thought to keep harmony across the universe.

## How the Original Divination Disk Was Used

Scholars are not certain how the magicians of Pergamon read this ancient amulet. Some suggest it was spun like a top to reveal an answer. Others believe it guided a hypnotic trance used to foresee outcomes. Either way, the disk served as a tool for seeking guidance beyond the everyday.

## A Wearable Piece of Ancient History

This pewter talisman jewelry piece is cast in fine lead-free pewter with a two-sided design. The pendant measures 1 in L x 1 in W x 1/8 in thick and weighs 1 oz. It arrives on a 33 in cord you can knot to any length you prefer.

Each ancient Greek amulet ships with a Legend Description Card describing its history and symbolism. The unisex design suits any collector drawn to ancient mysteries. Let this magic pendant necklace carry a piece of Pergamon's legacy with you.
