Wearing blue howlite encourages a person to communicate their truth. Howlite wants to activate our throat chakra, whether it be through speaking, singing, or another vocal activity. Speaking our truth can feel intimidating (especially if it doesn’t align with societal norms), but even amid chaos, howlite envelops us in a blanket of calm. As an attunement stone, howlite reminds us that if our thoughts aren’t currently evolving, then neither is the soul.

The Helm of Awe is easily one of the most powerful and intriguing symbols in Norse Mythology. For centuries its 8-pointed design has been drawn, etched, and worn during rituals to strike fear into the heart of enemies. Norse elders claim that working with the Helm of Awe expands psychic abilities, allowing a person to penetrate the ethereal boundaries of others. Manipulating the thoughts and actions of their enemies gave Norse people a supernatural layer of protection from anyone who wished them harm.

If you’re familiar with Germanic runes, you may notice that the eight arms of the Helm of Awe closely resemble the Algiz and Isa runes.

This is not a coincidence.

The Algiz (or Elhaz) rune is intimately linked with divine protection, creativity, and the willingness to act. It asks that we reflect upon the tools that are readily available and use accordingly. Whereas Algiz is prodding us to spring into action, Isa tells us to pause, get grounded, and purvey our surroundings. It’s a reminder that important details are often overlooked when moving too quickly. Slow down, take a breath, and consider that there might be vital information hiding just out of sight.

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.

In tarot, the Moon can represent a time or situation of deception or unknowing the full truth. Just the darkness of the new moon phase may appear that there is no moon at all, she is constant. This card and this pendant reminds us not to take everything at face value and to trust your instincts and intuition at all times.

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.

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.

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 carried by 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.

Our Pyramid ring was chosen as a nod to the ancient civilizations that revered this geometric shape. It is believed the pyramids of Egypt were deep healing chambers as their alignment to the stars and shape create a powerful energy vortex.

In Celtic tradition, the “infinity knot” or “endless knot” represents eternity,
undying or unending. While this symbol can represent life, it also is used to
represent friendship, love, freedom, loyalty and a myriad of other sentiments
that endure.

The design itself is always one thread, one line and one woven loop. There
is no end and no beginning. This symbolizes how life, eternity and the after
life are all connected.

The designs were first seen in 3BC and can be found in art,
manuscripts and architecture. They are found in Roman mosaics, Russian
literature, Ethiopian art, Medieval era & Islamic art. It is believed
the knot traveled its way through Europe, making its way to Ireland &
the Scottish Highlands.

Celtic knots or “mystic knots” as they are also called, were exchanged between
lovers as amulets of affection the way we now exchange rings in marriage.

Your necklace is made of .925 sterling silver and was inspired by the

castles, thick forests, down cobblestone streets and inside warm pubs.

In tarot, The Fool represents new beginnings, fresh starts and the act of moving into a new phase while blissfully unaware of what's coming. Depending on the situation, spread and circumstances this can be a good thing or a warning. 

In the most popular depictions of this card we see a person happily about to walk off a cliff with his/her animal companion in tow and earthly possessions in a sack. They are not sure what is coming, but they confidently march in that direction, feet first.

Wear The Fool as a reminder to boldly move forward, take chances and try new things, visit new places.

Thor’s Hammer is named Mjölnir. Thor, the Norse God of thunder, wields his hammer with great strength. Legend has it that his hammer has the power to level even a great mountain. Though mythology gestures to it as a weapon, during Norse rituals, its presence is used as a blessing in marriages, births, and funerals. Small pieces of raw clear quartz are wrapped in silver wire.
