December Full Moon: Oak Moon Mala Bracelet

 The December Full Moon is called the Oak Moon. Europeans called this moon the Oak Moon, which ties to Ancient Druid traditions of harvesting mistletoe from Oak trees.

In winter everything lies dormant in the silent earth so it is a sacred time of rest and reflection before the awakening and there is a slow build toward brighter days.
The energy of winter is that of going within. It's the fruitful darkness and silence out of which our soul's desires and new inspirations will eventually emerge. As we consciously link our awareness to nature's cycles, our understanding of our own personal growth cycles grows.
This is the month when the winter cold fastens its grip and the nights become long and dark so it is a perfect time to allow ourselves a time of rejuvenation and joy.

Red Garnet: is considered a very powerful regeneration, detoxification and energizing stone. This stone revitalizes, balances and purifies energy.

Green Chlorite: is a very powerful cleanser and purifier.
Due to the presence of vibrant green minerals suspended within the quartz, this crystal is exceptionally grounding.

Bloodstone is a traditional December birthstone. It is a stone of courage that renews one’s energy and grounds their sense of vigor.

Gleaming like a dragon's eye, the Red Tigers Eye stone has long been a stone of protection and healing.
It can enhance confidence and self-esteem. It helps provide motivation and can assist with staying relaxed and centered when surrounded by holiday mayhem.

Gold Tiger’s Eye: stones are known to bring wealth, fortune and success. Tiger's Eye helps bring harmony to people with different viewpoints or perspectives. Gold Tiger's Eye Stones can help reduce anxiety.

Citrine: is considered the money stone enhancing prosperity. Yellow citrine also brings a joyous sunshiny energy to brighten up the lives of those who work with it and wear it.

November Full Moon Mala Bracelet/Beaver Moon

 According to folklore, the November Full Moon in November is named after beavers who have been active preparing for the winter for the past few months. The Beaver Moon invites you to slow down and reflect on your feelings, goals and your accomplishments. As we near the end of the year the Beaver Moon also symbolizes completion. In the pagan Wheel of the Year November is the beginning of the New Year that arrives after Samhain closes the previous cycle.

November Full Moon Mala Bracelet

So, what should we be mindful of going into the beaver moon in 2022? Letting go of drama and embracing calmness are on the list. "For this beaver moon, we are learning to let go of drama, power plays, and being overly materialistic," Woods said. "We are moving toward appreciating basic values, being calm, and feeling safe and secure. Simple pleasures and creature comforts take on elevated meaning."
The year is winding down and it’s a natural time for contemplation, togetherness, and enjoyment of completion. Enjoy!

Sterling Silver Moon Goddess Mala Bracelet

 This Silver Moon Goddess Mala Bracelet is for those of us celebrating the beauty and inner power of Women: beauty meets divine feminine crystal power.

Find it here:

*Goddess energy encompasses so many elements but in its simplest form it’s a level of awareness linked to the divine feminine spirit.

Divine feminine and divine masculine can't exist without the other. This means that despite our cultural associations of masculine and feminine with men and women, respectively, we all have both energies within us. They just might not be evenly balanced.
That's where Moonstone comes in to help.
If your tendency is to be too strong, in either the male or female energy and in need of re-balancing, Moonstone is the go to stone for the job.
It is filled with receptive, feminine energy, balancing the yin and yang: male and female energies.
*The energy of the feminine embodies the nurturer, the healer, the compassionate peacemaker, while the masculine energy is focused on doing and achieving.
They're meant to complement and support each other: They are the yin and yang.

New Love of the Year

I have been terribly busy the last few months - but in a good way! My daughter bought her first house and begun a new journey in her life which we both desperately needed. She was living in the downstairs apartment and clearly needed independence to move forward with her personal growth. Well, it's a done deal and she is loving it!
Then there was Thanksgiving and Christmas. It was a wonderful Christmas day as my daughter and her fiance were very happy and anticipating moving into their new home. We all received wonderful presents - we all enjoy our toys : kitchen appliances, pestle and mortar for herbs... fun things you wouldn't buy for yourself. Now the house is quiet and I can create at will!

My new journey has been prayer beads and malas: both 54 and 108 bead malas with a wonderful sari silk tassel or a gemstone guru bead.  My latest one has a stunning rustic gossular green garnet pendant/ guru bead.  I almost kept it for myself but it was so perfect for this piece I had to surrender it.
In addition to the guru bead I used 10mm round green garnet beads that I have hoarded for forever (it's hard to find affordable quality green garnet anymore) in between sections of faceted red garnet, lepidolite in luscious shades and green fancy jasper lovelies. Between them I used 2.5mm natural pyrite beads and added some 6mm sterling silver beads. There are more in my Etsy store if you want to see them. Have a great day!
