This is a pendant based on the anarchist symbol. Not only is this piece another example of the trend toward personal fabrication and design, it's also significant in regard to its intended wearer. As the designer explains, the pendant is made out of "white gold, because it's for a baby."

A baby anarchist??? Why not? We've circumcized or baptized infants for millennia and the kids have no idea what they're getting into. By contrast, most babies seem quite determined to resist authority on their own!

EXTRA: Anarchy & Faith

While it's tempting to equate "anti-authority" with "atheist," that is not always accurate. As some anarchists themselves point out, many religious movements--from Buddhism to early Christianity to modern paganism--have opposed formalistic structures in the name of faith.

Likewise, there are a number of self-identified anarchists who are also openly spiritual. For example, Alan Moore, the author of the anarchist graphic novel V for Vendetta (the basis for the hit film), is a committed practitioner of the magic arts and ""an anarchist Gnostic who worships the Roman snake-god Glycon."

Afraid of snakes? There is also a vibrant anarchist movement within the Christian faith. Of course, while the movement has produced landmark expressions of spiritual thought, just try to get them to agree on a set time for church . . .
