For as long as humans have occupied this planet, the moon has played an integral role in the development of societies and cultural identities. For many of us, each moon phase carries a unique energy, but together they form a roadmap.

 This map is not linear, but cyclical in nature. It’s filled with low valleys, staggering peaks, and plenty of dead ends that leave us void of course.

These emotional highs and lows are not dissimilar to that which we experience on a day-to-day basis. Depending on our character, this volatility can feel exciting, scary, or frustrating in a world that insists that success is born from consistency. The moon shows us an alternate path—one that encourages a hefty dose of passion for balancing logic, stillness for heightening creativity, and quiet reflection for laser-focused intentions.

With dedication, our relationship with the moon offers a glimpse into the waxing and waning aspects of the psyche and fosters a unique connection with the cosmos.

This statement pieces measures 2 inches (varies based on kyanite) and is attached to a 24 inch detailed chain.

The high vibration and rapid transfers of energy from Kyanite create pathways where none existed before. Like a universal bridge, it is an extraordinary crystal of connection, opening the mind centers, enhancing telepathic and psychic abilities, bridging gaps in all communication efforts, and providing a link for transmitting or receiving healing energy. It immediately aligns the chakras and subtle bodies, bringing tranquility and a calming effect to the whole being. It is an exceptional stone for transitioning into deep meditative states.

Like Citrine, Kyanite is one of the two minerals on the planet that neither accumulates nor retains negative energy, and therefore never needs cleansing. Kyanite's energy is unlimited in application, making it an excellent stone for metaphysical purposes, and it may be used for cleansing and clearing other crystals.

It is our wish that when you wear this lunar phase necklace that you consider your own roadmap. 2020 has hardly taken its first breath, but this new decade is ripe with opportunity and awaiting your first step. Embrace change, listen to your emotions and look forward to the magick of new beginnings.

Our Sacred Mountains necklace was chosen as a representation of overcoming. As with all things worth having, the work to achieve it is the most important part. The old adage of "its the journey, not the destination" rings true, even with the hard hills to climb. We chose this design as a nod to the peaks and valleys in life and as a reminder of the beauty in balance and in uphill climbs.

Green Quartz is known for it's deep green color with specks of red and yellow. This stone may be used for opening and stabilizing the heart chakra and is said to have the power to transform negative energy into positive. Green Quartz should be cleansed often, either in a salt soak or smoke, as it absorbs all negative energy it encounters.

This necklace features a green quartz point on a copper 18 inch chain.

Even if we’re not experts on crystals and minerals, a turquoise gemstone is easy to recognize. This semi-precious stone is famous for its striking blue-green color with the occasional brown vein or inclusion. Today, we commonly see turquoise tumbled into small beads or cut into unique shapes for jewelry and accessories.

Most of what we know about turquoise comes from indigenous communities in North and South America. There, artisans have been working with this stone for hundreds of years. In addition to creating jewelry, they collected these aqua crystals to adorn tools, amulets, textiles, weapons, and to leave as offerings for the gods. Depending on the location, turquoise was relatively abundant. It was considered a ‘soft’ stone, which means that it was a beautiful, renewable resource that was also easy-to-carve into.

But what makes turquoise even more exceptional reaches far beyond its physical appearance.

According to Native American folklore, within each piece of turquoise lives the spirit of the earth and sky.

We see this in Apache legends where it is not a pot of gold that we find at the end of a rainbow, but a mound of turquoise.

And in the Zuni Origin Myth, many spirits carry strings of turquoise beads to symbolize their divinity among the living. Other characters are hit (sometimes accidentally, other times intentionally) with sticks and weapons made from turquoise, leaving them dead, deformed, or in some cases, with a newfound power to jump back and forth between this realm and the spirit world.

With a history steeped in legend and lore, it’s easy to see why so many of us have fallen in love with this stone. But, whether we admire its likeness, its usefulness, or its mystical qualities, one thing can be certain—wherever the heavens and the earth collide, that’s where we’ll find turquoise.

As an ally to the heart, throat, and crown chakras, Mother of Pearl filters distractions that might otherwise impair our upward ascension. With fewer distractions, we’re able to think more clearly and process information with a deeper level of understanding. It’s no wonder that Mother of Pearl’s iridescent exterior rivals that of the moon, both this crystal and our lunar guide share secrets of mystical realms that extend beyond this reality.

October 2020: Tibetan Earrings

October’s North of Stella is a pair of dangling silver earrings, expertly crafted by artisans from the mystical mountains of Tibet.

***

If you’ve ever felt called to hike an overgrown wooded path, or scale a jagged cliffside in search of forgotten caves, and especially if you’ve ever set out to reach the top of a mountainous peak, have you ever stopped to wonder where or who that desire came from?

Well, wild ones, there’s a reason for that…

Nature spirits are all around us. They are private creatures, preferring to communicate through subtle messages carriedby the wind and scattered amongst the trees. They speak through birdsong, changes in weather, and if they have something important to tell us, through silence.

In Tibet, where the rugged peaks of the Himalayas stand tall and imposing, mountain gods are the protectors of the wild landscape. Some, like the Wind Horse and Snow Lion, are famous. They symbolize courage, strength, and offer good fortune to the community.

But others, like those that reside on Mount Kailash, are elusive and far less inviting.

Mount Kalash is one of the most sacred mountains in the world, nicknamed the Stairway to Heaven. Ancient scriptures claim that Mount Kailash is home to Lord Shiva, the guardian of nature and personal liberation. With the help of the mountain gods, he dutifully protects the secrets that reside at the peak.

***

For those who long to communicate with the cryptic forces of nature, it’s easy to see why the Tibetan landscape has long been a focus of divine connection. But whether you’re an adventure seeker in real life or dreamland, we hope that our Rainy Day Earrings remind you of all the secrets within the natural the world—many of which are hiding in plain sight.

 Earrings measure 4 inches.

With our human bodies tied to land, it’s easy to forget that there is a mystical world hidden within the depths of our oceans. There’s the Loch Ness Monster, The Kraken, and a long list of sea nymphs and deities that rule this realm, but perhaps none of the stories are as captivating as that of the Sirens.

The Sirens are a sisterhood of elusive mermaids who use their beautiful singing voices to lure sailors to unsafe waters. Modern stories describe Sirens as being half-person, half-fish, but long ago, Sirens were believed to be half-human, half-bird. After Persephone’s abduction by Hades, Demeter is said to have gifted wings to the Sirens so they could assist in the search for her daughter.

The new moon is a time to set intentions. It’s a time for internal assessments and for rejuvenation. Adorn your ears with the secrets of the new moon, she teaches us lessons through rumination and guides us to our inner light of inspiration. Our little white shell moons are wrapped in gold wire and are handmade. **The wire will need to be trimmed down to match your ear lobe as they are intentionally left long for customization. This can be done with scissors or wire cutters.

Whether we consider ourselves earth-spirited, forest dwellers, or simply a romantic-at-heart, many things come to mind when we think of the moon.

It might be magick, love, or deities like Selene and Baba Yaga.

But, depending on the moon’s phase, we might also imagine the Triple Goddess. This sacred archetype represents the hidden power of the matriarchy and the Divine Feminine aspect of the psyche.

Within the Triple Goddess, we find the Maiden, Mother, and Crone. Much has been written about these enchanting ladies, so we’ll spare you the details. The most important thing to keep in mind is that each one is unique, but together they represent a person’s journey from childhood to old age, and beyond. The Triple Goddess shares lessons about birth, growth, and death, and reminds us that the answers we seek await in the waxing, full, and waning phases of the moon.
