In tarot, the Moon can represent a time or situation of deception or unknowing the full truth. Just the 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.

Chain and pendant are 14k gold plated, chain measures 22 inches and has an additional extender.

In tarot, the Hermit asks that we step back from our routine, put our worldly responsibilities on hold (at least temporarily) and dive into the deep well of inner knowing. 

The lone wanderer carrying his sole source of light speaks to the importance of being our own guide through the darkness; and also to the undeniable power we all possess that is our inner light.

A Greek Goddess of witchcraft, the Moon, and all that roams at night, Hecate is a dark and mysterious Goddess of great magic.

Hecate was known as the gatekeeper between realms, and the Goddess of liminality—often shown guarding the crossroads and all those in-between places with her loyal hounds by her side. Her power is felt most strongly in those places and times where the veil between worlds is at its thinnest.

Due to the high vibrational energy of Herkimer diamonds, they are known to assist moving through realms, much like Hecate, as well as aid in lucid dreaming and dream recall. 

This necklace is of a double terminated Herkimer diamond with a gold chain.

Ra was the patron god of the pharaoh and was considered to be the god of all the other gods of the Egyptian pantheon. He was considered the creator of everything. The Eye of Ra is symbolic of an all seeing eye, much like the god Ra himself.

This necklace is .925 sterling silver with an 18 inch chain.

In dreams, the symbols we see come with archetypal significance, and also insight. When the symbol of two moons is invoked in a dream, it means there is a choice to make. When facing fate, and working with the imagery of the moon, it can be important to stay grounded and centered. Wear our Two Moons Ring as a reminder that all timing is divine timing and that fortune favors the bold. Golden crescent moon opening to a moonstone bead. Adjustable, 18k gold plated.

In Ancient Egypt, the feather was a symbol of Ma'at. Ma'at was a goddess that was loved and feared simultaneously--for she represented truth, morality, and justice. Egyptians admired Ma'at for her ability to do the right thing, but that didn't stop people from worrying about the fateful day when they would come face-to-face with the goddess.

While newly deceased souls waited in limbo, it was Ma'at who delivered their fate. Ma'at would place her feather on one side of a scale, and the person's heart on the other. If the heart weighed more than the feather, it was a sign that it was heavy with sin. The soul would be rejected and unable to enter the utopian afterlife waiting just beyond the veil.

Ancient legends that span continents and generations insist that a bee’s gifts are not just physical, but spiritual. If we believe the stories (and I think most of us do), then bees are intertwined with all life and death throughout the universe.

Ancient Greece shares this sentiment. According to myth, a bee could manipulate a human’s fate by touch. If it landed on a child’s lips, the child would grow to become a great writer, poet, or performer. If it rested atop their head, the child would become a person of great distinction. And if you felt burdened, a bee atop the hand was a blessing at any age, for it meant that financial abundance was within reach.

For the dreamers, the mystics and the lovers of the moon. 

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 thehidden 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 seekawait in the waxing, full, and waning phases of the moon.

Nordic Runes on a 20" Chain, sterling silver.

Algiz – Algiz translates literally to Elk. This rune is the archetypal higher self. The Elk is the king of the forest. Algiz teaches us to tap into that inner wisdom and divinity that we all posses. Algiz is also associated with The Valkyries, the female winged warriors of Norse mythology. To work with Algiz, imagine yourself as a Valkyrie. When you spread your wings, where will you fly?  

Eihwaz – Eihwaz literally translates to Yew. The Yew was believed to be the World Tree. When this rune appears we can work with initiation in a multiplicity of ways. Eihwaz is timeless, it is mysterious, and it can teach us about spiritual becoming. To work with Eihwaz meditate on your past lives, deepen your commitment to your practice, and consider eternity. 

Ansuz – Ansuz is the rune of the Gods. This rune is symbolic of divine power, of inspiration, of god-like presence, the intellectual, and also our ancestors. When Ansuz appears it is asking us to tap into our own creative wisdom. Ansuz allows us to be magnetic. Through this rune we can learn to listen to our own inner story, power, and voice. To work with Ansuz open a book, work with the breath, channel, and read poetry.

 Dagaz – Dagaz is a rune that works with time. This is the rune of realization. When this rune appears to us it asks us to awaken, or experience an awakening in ourselves. Dagaz looks like a balancing act, but really it is about staying centered, while calmly surveying the horizon. When we balance between points, looking in both directions at once, what inspiration are we able to uncover? Dagaz is also a gateway of sorts. When we pass through Dagaz, or look through the lens of Dagaz, we may find that our perspectives have shifted, which is a beautiful thing. 

Laguz – Laguz translates to ocean or water, which is a nod to our unconscious or subconscious. Water is also the beginning or the root of all things. We all came from the water. This rune guides us to listen to the liminal and to dive into our dreams. When this rune appears, it’s a good moment for us to tap into the mystical side of ourselves. It’s a reminder to trust our intuition as well. How can we better listen to our own knowing? To work with this rune, study clairvoyance, intuitive magic, channeling, and dream work.  

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.

Afghanistan. While they are largely settled now, historically they
were a nomadic tribe that traveled the ancient trade routes between
Afghanistan and Pakistan. They were the wanderers, the explorers,
