Bidden or Not Bidden Plaque

Awe of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom

Carl Jung, the eminent psychologist (1875-1961) had this carved in Latin over the front door of his Zurich home to remind those who entered that "Awe of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom" (psalms 111.10). Jung came across it when studying Erasmus, the Renaissance scholar and humanist.

This beautiful celtic plaque is created in Ireland by Wild Goose studios. This piece is made with a shell of pure bronze backed by a resin and ceramic core. If placed outdoors the bronze will acquire a green patina over time. It can be left to age naturally or polished occasionally with a soft cloth to retain its shine. Designed to speak to the heart and mind the 'Bidden or not Bidden God is Present' plaque is a reminder of God's presence in our lives and makes a wonderful gift.
