Since the ancient times, humans have had many uses for clay such as in building materials, pottery, tools, jewelry, treating digestive and skin ailments plus a wide range of other uses. Clay is a key ingredient in the world we live in as it is the Earth itself. Formed from weathering and erosion of the earth's crust over vast spans of time, clay contains minerals and nanocrystals. Crystals are capable of memory and holding energy. Clay is naturally associated with the Earths vital energy. However, during its formation process clay is also nourished with all other elements: fire, water, wind and metal.

There’s a deep connection between the Ancient Egypt and pottery. Khnum, the god of fertility, was praised for bringing life to the womb, to the harvest fields, and life even to other deities. He was called the “Divine Potter” as it was believed he formed babies from clay, placing them into their mother’s womb. The Ancient Greek legend says that Prometheus made humans of clay and Athena breathed life into them. The Bible says the first man Adam was created when "Lord God formed man from the clay of the earth, and he breathed into his face the breath of life, and man became a living soul."
