The origin of bells is shrouded in the mist of antiquity. The sound of a bell can express great joy, sound a warning or danger, be used in time of despair, stop the rain, keep evil spirits at bay, invoke curses, lift spells, in battle, in worship..... Bells hold an honoured place in religous ceremony. They are symbols of paradise and the voice of god or the voice that speaks to the spirits and gods. They are found amongst all cultures of the world.
