The Pulse

We felt a deep call from within to honor and choreograph with some of the most transformative and healing pendulum crystals we have in our hands at this time. The Pendulum serves as such a remarkable symbol for us, and for so many of you. To be honest, when we first began creating necklaces with these beautifully shaped stones, we were not fully aware of their history as being the locators of energy centers, portals, and ley lines. We did not hold in our conscious awareness, yet, that they served as tangible visible representations of our subconscious powers and incredible intuition. Now we know.

Last September on the Full Blue Super Moon in Pisces I wrote about the waters that we are made of leaking out of us in moments that subsist of not sadness or even joy, just a whole lot of feelings. I wrote about space and time and the High Priestess. I spoke about the essence of trusting in the process as best we can while also taking another grounded and actionable step towards our dreams. Dreams: the stuff Pisces is made of.

Yesterday we experienced what is called in astro language a "Venus Cazimi." This occurs when a planet is so close to (conjunct) the Sun that it is as if it is inside the very heart of the Sun. It is almost as if it is being Pac-Man gobbled by the exuberance of the center of our solar system. Or perhaps, more like being lit from within. This is how we come to see ourselves more clearly.

This collection is designed to support the light within you so you may shine and expand into the life you're meant for, one in which you focus less on "how" and more on the sound of your own heart beating loudly from within the cavernous brilliance that is you.

We created the Fairy Collection by listening to a loud, pounding desire that sprang forth through the art of following the Heart. In order to keep the creations flowing, we continuously had to check back in with our child-like imaginations and those check-ins brought those little ones back to life in many ways.

The Fairy Collection is an offering of sweetness encapsulated in adornments that honor the essence of the Fairy and Flower Realms. Inspired by the boundless inner imaginary worlds we create that become reflected in our outer worlds when we open our minds and our hearts.

I believe that the crystals carry epic wisdom and know the precise moment to start shouting. When a stone calls so powerfully to so many, there is something in the vibrational frequency of that mineral that is here to carve out a doorway in space and time that we are ready to walk through. It feels like no coincidence to me that this stone decided to be shared with you the week of 7/7/23, aka 7-7-7 portal where the Sun and Sirius (our spiritual Sun) come into alignment prior to Lion's Gate coming up in August.

In January of this year as mom and I were making our yearly rounds at our most preferred stone cutters on day one at the Tucson Gem Show, I was having a very hard time being present. Something was on my mind. That something on my mind was love and the script I was running was how horrible I am at it.

Last SUN-day was my Birthday! I hoped we would be able to create a piece inspired by this trip around the sun as an offering for you, but we were waiting for download to come through. Synchronistic interventions are my favorite, as I'm sure you know by now.

Herkimer Diamonds carry their name because they are known as the "diamonds" of the crystal multiverse.

Last week I wrote to you about the synchronicity surrounding the card pull from Lainie's Oracle Deck: The Keeper of Thunder and Lightning, and how it felt deeply connected to the potent power of the Herkimer Diamond. Not even an hour later, as I lay on my back with a pulled muscle contemplating the fact that my body is taking on years and therefore new modes of getting my attention, the thunder started roaring. And I am talking about CRAZY THUNDER. Thunder that rumbled like a stampede of horses galloping for minutes on-end without taking a beat to simmer down.

Today my mom was taking me to pick up my car which had to be detailed due to a water leak. This afternoon St. Louis is supposed to get a heavy storm with a possible tornado in the mix. On the car ride over she mentioned that she and and our handyman extraordinaire were chatting and Travis said to her "did you hear the lightning last night?" My mom replied "you do not hear lightning. You see it. You hear thunder." They debated this for awhile. I researched it.

I realized the other day in pottery class that when things get off track in my world, I have a very hard time believing that me myself and I can fix them. If the clay gets bumped by my elbow while I am throwing it on the wheel, I raise my hand for the teacher to come mend it. I do not trust myself to repair it myself. I have always had someone by my side who could mend things for me and help set them right. I honor this truth for the gift it is and also am coming to realize I have not necessarily done myself a service by consistently expecting someone else to fix it.

This particular collection focuses her magic on two major themes: Support for Transitions and a Return to Ritual Adornment. I believe the precursor to ritual adornment is remembering that the stones are alive and speaking. The concept of animism is helping me understand how through connecting to nature, I connect to myself and the people around me. When I gaze into a gem, I have the opportunity to open my eyes to the universe.

The name "Emerald" was first translated from the Sanskrit word "marakata"-- meaning: "the green of growing things." St. Hildegard of Bingen, the noted lithologist, declared, “All the green of nature is concentrated within the Emerald.”
