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.

“Everyday Goddessing is about sharing magical techniques and sacred wisdom with other beautiful Goddess women. I believe that within every woman there is a goddess, a wise woman, beautiful, creative, powerful, with a deep soul, and that everything we need and are looking for is already inside each of us.” ~ Rose Arizmendi
Autumn Rituals
One of my favorite autumn rituals is taking walks along
The creek… drinking in the changes I see and hear….
Listening to the husky voices of the crows in the oak tree,
observing the ochre tinge just at the edges of the leaves
and inhaling that distinct scent of change in the air.
It is a wholesome and necessary thing
For us to turn again to the earth and in
The contemplation of her beauties
To know of wonder and humility.
~ Rachel Carson
People usually consider walking on water or in
thin air a miracle. But I think the real miracle
is not to walk either on water or in thin air,
BUT TO WALK ON EARTH…
Every day we are engaged in a miracle
Which we don’t even recognize
A blue sky, white clouds, green leaves,
The black, curious eyes of a child…
Our own two eyes… All is a miracle.
~ Thich Nhat Hanh
Everyone, no matter what their cultural background
Has a right to discover the Sacred in Nature;
To heal and be redeemed spiritually by nature;
And to revere the ancestors. We are all
Haunted and saved by our memories.
~ Martha Brooks (from Bone Dance)

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.”
~ from a speech by Nuala Ahern,
Irish Member of the European Parliament

April ~ The Realm Of Spring
There is magic stirring at the edges of the beginning of April …

An old line that’s not there
A boundary that never ends.
