Talismanic Jewelry for the Goddess within<\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

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.<\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

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 <\/span><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

being because it constitutes a hierophany, or possesses mana, <\/span><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

or again because it commemorates a mythical act.<\/span><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cEveryday Goddessing\u00a0 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\u00a0 each of us.\u201d ~ Rose Arizmendi<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
