The ram with golden fleece was a gift from Mercury to Nephele, to get her children away from their step-mother.  (Ancient child custody issues.)  The girl drowned, but the boy was "hospitably received" by Aetes, King of Colchis.  The boy then sacrificed the ram to Jupiter and gave the golden fleece to his host.  He placed it in a consecrated grove with a dragon to guard it.  Eventually, Jason's uncle, who was supposed to surrender the throne of his kingdom when he reached maturity, sent him on a wild goose chase, er golden fleece quest, claiming the fleece was the rightful property of their kingdom.  Which it was not.  Anyway, Jason rounded up a tough bunch of friends of his, and off they went looking for the fleece.\n\nFrom this point on, you can substitute what you know of grail quests, for the symbols and traditions have been intermingled for centuries.  One of the challenges Jason faces is a wily king with a beautiful sorceress for a daughter, named Medea.  Naturally, she becomes instrumental in his success.  Brave hero and beautiful witch.  Haven't we heard that one before a time or two?\n\nFrom here, I'll let you work out the secondary meanings.  The primary one should be obvious enough: the cooperation of Jason and Medea overcame all obstacles, where neither one would have succeeded without the other.

It’s the ceremonial right in which the young boy is invested with the sacred thread and initiated into the Gayatri. It is only for boys from the top 3 social classes.  The sacred thread used for the ceremony consists of 3 strands, joined by a knot. The 3 strand represent the Hindu trinity. (Though it may also represent other triads - Mahasarasvati, Mahlakshmi, Mahakali. It may also represent the past, present and future, the three states - wake, dream, and deep sleep. Or even heaven, earth, and the afterlife.) The thread must be twisted upwards to ensure the good quality of truth predominates. \n\nThe sacred thread was a means to obtain education or even a wife.

Either the material they are made from or that they can both be worn as decoration (necklaces, bracelets...) ;)

The zigzags really form a family of related kinds of ritual symbols I have found indications that usage and names differ in different parts of Japan.. The main ones have the names "O-shide", Go-hei, and "Harai gushi".\n\nhttp://www.britishorigami.info/academic/lister/shinto.htm this site has info all about them!

It is one upright and one inverted. It represents the duality in nature.\n\nEdit: Two Pentagrams, one upright and one inverted, represent the duality of nature, dark and light, ever in flux. As a magical Yin-Yang this Pentagram can be empowered to support any magical purpose.\nhttp://www.horoscopestore.com/double-pentagram-pentagram-necklace-pendant-jewelry-pr11.html

♡The other answers already have some great info! I live in Japan too so let me try to answer your Q. the best I can from what I know. This image is used for Japanese Congratulations- omedetou おめでとう (omedetai) and good fortune, prosperity and good luck as well. It has a GOOD meaning. When I was married to my hubby here in Japan, some of our wedding "gifts" were wrapped in Japanese cloth with this image. The bird is a crane, as everyone already said and is the symbol of longevity, long continuance. The kanji is for the word "crane" (bird) - "tsuru" 鶴　as also mentioned, in Japanese. The tree is a "Pine" (tree), or "matsu" 松. (It's part of my last name!) The center circle is the sun, often seen in such scenes. This design can be found on some wedding kimono in Japan as well as Japanese screens, decorative plates (I have one) and dishes. It's rather beautiful and I think it would be a gorgeous tattoo! Hope this helps!♡ EDIT: The small red symbol under the big black kanji is just the "hanko"- Japanese stamp of perhaps the artist. Not really part of the design.

You could get a Japanese character that mean protection. I have no idea what that is but many people get tattos of them.

It's the French version of 'Susan', and entered the Christian world through two virgin-martyr saints, one the daughter of a Roman senator and the other an anonymous Palestinian, in the 3rd and 4th century, respectively. It means 'lilly' and 'shining flower' in Hebrew, very pretty :-)

According to the book "The Crystal Bible", "Jade is a symbol of purity and serenity. Much prized in the East, it signifies wisdom gathered in tranquility. Jade is associated with the heart chakra and increases love and nurturing. It is a protective stone, which keeps the wearer from harm and brings harmony. It is believed to attract good luck and friendship."\n\nThe book goes on to discuss psychological, emotional, spiritual and physical attributes for the stone. There are also different significant symbolisms depending on the color of the Jade. Jade doesn't only come in green. There are also blue, brown, lavendar, orange, red, white and yellow jade.\n\nDragons, while widely believed to be violent and dangerous, once lived in peace with humans. During the age when the old earth based religions were commonly and openly practiced, humans offered their cattle or horses as sacrifices to dragons in return for their protection from rogue dragons. From all that I have read, dragons symbolize protection.\n\nMost importantly, if you are to be the one to wear the pendant, you would take your personal energy and what you want out of the pendant based on the symbols and attributes of the crystal. Once your personal desires for the pendant's protection or blessings are determined, pray, meditate or whatever you do over the pendant and ask your God, Goddess or whatever to infuse your energies and wishes into the pendant. It wouldn't help to leave it outside under the full moon to multiply those energies.\n\nBlessings and good luck with your pendant!

LOVE ACTUALLY - it was said by the secretary of Snape (his character in Harry Potter, forgot the actor's name) when she was trying to seduce him. He was asking her what she wanted for a Christmas present. That's why he got her the necklace and got his wife the Joni Mitchell CD.
