Talismanic Adornment

At the most basic level, stone is the fabric of the earth, and

as such is a symbol of the everlasting.

The anthropomorphic view of the world sees stones and rocks

as the bones of Mother Earth.

They are the fundamental structure that supports all other aspects

of physical existence of earlier life~forms.

Talismanic Jewelry for the Goddess within

Most of what we now call jewelry had it’s origins steeped in magic from ancient times. They were once called amulets, charms and talismans and thought to have magical protective qualities. Stones that were considered to be protective, powerful, healing and sacred, were used as charms for thousands of years by all social classes.

For those of us who create talismanic jewelry, there is often a presence of something beyond our understanding, an awareness, a connection with a deep and primal energy resting just below the surface of the stones and metals we work with.

A beautiful synergy, connectedness happens as we combine gemstones, crystals, sea shells, feathers, bones and other magical, unexpected components together to create one of a kind pieces for ourselves and friends.

I have a few favorite pieces of jewelry that I wear and change out with the seasons and lunar tides. Whether I use them as a form of prayer or protection, they hold stories and special meaning for me, and have become part of my journey. I also create additional pieces for others to enjoy.

Among countless stones, one stone becomes saturated with

being because it constitutes a hierophany, or possesses mana,

or again because it commemorates a mythical act.

 Spiraling Prayer

“People visited groves and springs at the sacred times

and made the Turas, circling these holy places and wells.

A sort of concentric prayer spiraling inwards.”

Healing Altar

This morning I noticed our Healing Altar needed a little tender loving care so I cleared off the tabletop, smudged the altar, washed the crystals with white sage water, and proceeded to wipe down the Kuan Yin statue with rose water.

Next, I added  fresh lavender to a pretty bag and placed the vogel crystal and Amethyst crystal on it, along with a small piece of Kyanite which helps clear the crystals after a session. The crystal singing bowl, Tibetan bowl and the painting hanging above the Altar were also cleaned.

Here is where I do most of my Distant Reiki work for our families, friends and anyone in need. I place Reiki Prayer Packets  in the pyramid and send Reiki twice a day for those who have requested it, and keep the names in the Reiki pyramid or Reiki Box for a period of two weeks to a month.

Giving Reiki to others is what I love to do. For me Reiki is about unconditional love, healing and acceptance on all levels, and a beautiful gift we can share with everyone.

Dream Time

Dreams are the subconscious mind’s way of communicating with the conscious mind, and we may gain greater insight into the workings of our dreams by recording them in a dream journal or by creating dream inspired artwork.

Our subconscious mind uses metaphors and symbols to communicate with us and our dreams are generally symbolic of something much deeper. I believe dreams are a place where the various parts of our psyche explores ideas, work out daily issues, and a place where we experience many levels of consciousness.

Personally, my dreams tend to be vivid, colorful and filled with detail. I have been writing my dreams down for over 40 years and after going through my dream journals, I discovered a pattern of very active dreaming during certain months of the year. January is one of those months and tends to be one in which I have repetitive and teaching dreams.

Here are some ways to encourage and enhance your Dream Time . . .

Dream Pillows – Place one or more of the following herbs in a small bag and place under you pillow at bedtime.

• Mugwort :  Visions and aids one in remembering dreams.
• Hops:   Promotes restful sleep and healing.
• Chamomile :  Peaceful dreams.
• Lavender:  Enhances dream recall, peaceful sleep and healing dreams.

Dream Stones – Place under your pillow at bedtime.
