The Ugunskrusts charm is a form of fire cross based on historical models from the Baltic States.
The term Ugunskrusts is Latvian and means fire cross. Alternatively, it is also known as a pērkonkrusts, or thunder cross, which is related to Perun or Perkūnas, the Finnish god of thunder. The Ugunskrusts is a Baltic variant of the swastika, which occurs in countless variations and is still regarded as an ancient symbol of good luck in the Baltic States. It is still traditionally used in Latvia and Lithuania to decorate objects and clothing. The Balts associate the Ugunskrusts with luck, light and goodness. Other meanings include movement, energy, fire and thunder. The fire cross is said to protect its wearer in all situations, give him strength and help him to achieve his goals.
A 1 metre long black leather strap comes with the pendant.
