Today’s society doesn’t mark well the passage of time or maturity. In the Forge, much of the design, manufacturing and craft have been tuned toward finding symbols that communicate a deeper meaning in those times of transition. A shield, sword or axe can call us back to another time, to help us remember who we are, and whose we are. These symbols will follow us throughout our lives and help us remember what God did, or places we have grown as we continually grow into new places and maturities.
