How my logo came to be

dreamcatcher

/ˈdriːmkatʃə/
noun

a small hoop containing a horsehair mesh, or a similar construction of string or yarn, decorated with feathers and beads, believed to give its owner good dreams. Dreamcatchers were originally made by North American Indians.

When I was thinking about a logo for Janet’s Numerology. I just could not come up with the right “feel”. I met with a friend I had not seen in a while, who had no knowledge of my deep thoughts regarding my logo. Out of the blue, she asked me: “Where is your dreamcatcher?” It took me a few seconds to realize, as she touched her hands to her neck, that she was talking about my dreamcatcher pendant.

I have always had a fascination with dreamcatchers.

I used to possess an exquisite piece of jewellery – a dreamcatcher – 24 carat gold with gold filigree and lapis lazuli stones. It went missing during a move from one home to another. This piece of jewellery was very special to me. I purchased it from my numerology teacher who had it specially made during the time I was studying numerology with her. I was heartbroken when it went missing. It disappeared during a move from one home to another.

7 years had passed since it went missing, and I had all but forgotten about its existence. I expressed my shock at her even remembering it. She went on to say: ” I was thinking about it on my way here while I was driving, and thought that if you ever needed a logo for your numerology, that a dream catcher would be perfect. It is so YOU.” She added that in her mind, what I did was to help people make their dreams come true.

To say I was shocked was putting it mildly. I knew it was a sign. My whole life is a series of “signs” and “clues” that are sent when I need them most.

Two days later, I was visiting a healer friend who knows of my passion for sacred geometry and sacred symbols. I told her about using a dream catcher for my logo. She guided and encouraged me to put some thought into the contents and colours of the dream catcher and took out a few of her books from her delightful selection on the topic. She sat me down on a comfortable couch with exquisite cushions, put some soft music on, placed a pile of books in front of me and poured me a glass of pomegranate cordial. As the ideas started formulating, she used kinesiology muscle testing to monitor the progress of how close I was to the ultimate emblem that would convey all I wanted it to convey and carry my own unique energy.

The dream catcher has since been replaced with a more elegant one, so the original design is no longer in use, but it was the start.

Thank you, Wanda and Johanna, for honouring your sacred contract with me to remind me of “the logo”.

And the dream catcher image has lived happily ever after as a beloved logo for Janet’s Numerology.

I hope some day I can help YOU to find and capture YOUR dreams.
