Metaphysical Lore:

FAERIES: The Fae tradition, believe it or not started in Italy, not in Great Britain as most people believe, though certainly there are many legends of the wee folk that come from that region of the world. Faeries are a rather large group of entities, some good, some not very good at all, some a bit surprising that they are even actually faeries! Not all look like the tiny winged beings we think of when we hear the word, some barely resemble that image. Magickal and mysterious, some believe in them, many scoff at those of us that do, but no matter where your opinion lies in regards to these intriguing creatures, when faeries are about, they can make even the toughest of adults seem childlike again!

FAERIE STAR: The points on the Faerie star represent the following: The Sun, The Wood (Forest), The Sea, The Magick, The Moon, The Wind, and Connection (with The All).

Rose Quartz, another stone of the Quartz family, is full of warm loving energies. It is a delicate pink color, and is often dyed to enhance its pale pink color. The energies it has also feel very soft and delicate. It provides very gentle loving energies, and brings peace and calm to the wearer. It provides energy for emotional healing. Aids one during periods of loss and stress. It takes away fear, resentment and anger in the wearer and provides one with higher esteem and self-confidence.

Pink Opal is referred to as a stone of "re-newel", making new the connection of oneself with all else that is. It helps bridge the gap between what is conscious and what is called your inner self. It is a stone that is great to use for inner healing on all levels, great for meditative use, and for connecting with those in other dimensions and areas of the universe. Pretty incredible stone!

Silver is a wonderful metal for use with gemstones, it can take on and absorb the properties and energies of the gemstones it is in contact with and act as a conductor for those energies for the wearer. Silver is associated with the element of Water and directly correlates with the energies of the Goddess and the moon. It is also a metal to aid in drawing prosperity. To increase the properties and energies of silver, expose it to the light of the moon, especially the full moon.

Metaphysical Lore:

Amazonite is a wonderful stone, a beautiful aqua shade, that comes in light and dark varieties. It has warm, loving energies, that brings about a very peaceful feeling. It is a stone great for aiding one with their intuition and psychic abilities. It is soothing and calming. This is one of my favorite stones!!

Jasper is a stone that comes in many different varieties and color patterns. Jasper takes upon itself an incredible responsibility to protect against negativity. It is a very "earthy" stone, using the energies of the earth for stable grounding. Jasper is used to balance the Yin Yang energies and to align the Chakra energy centers, great stone!!

Smoky Quartz is a type of Quartz, dark brown to light brown and gray in color. Most of what we find in beads or in jewelry has been heat treated to create the color. The metaphysical properties remain the same, as this does occur naturally as well, and causes the same condition. Smoky Quartz helps to remove negativity by softening up the negative energies, thus allowing more positive attributes to take it's place. It's very subtle and gentle in doing so, making the transition easier. Indeed, all actions of Smoky Quart are subtle and rather slow to get started. It also balances out the Yin Yang energies and assists in balancing the physical and ethereal bodies. Smoky Quartz can also aid one in balancing all aspects of ones body (physical, mental, emotional) helping one to reach attain spiritual growth. Wonderful for balancing and protection.

Silver is a wonderful metal for use with gemstones, it can take on and absorb the properties and energies of the gemstones it is in contact with and act as a conductor for those energies for the wearer. Silver is associated with the element of Water and directly correlates with the energies of the Goddess and the moon. It is also a metal to aid in drawing prosperity. To increase the properties and energies of silver, expose it to the light of the moon, especially the full moon.

My wonderful husband Trent is now creating gorgeous Lampwork Glass beads in our studio in Batavia, Ohio. Lampworking glass to create beads is an ancient art, and has changed very little throughout it's history. Glass is melted in an open flame, today we use a torch, and then wound on a mandrel, shaped by rolling and moving the molten glass, and by using hand tools, then the bead still on the mandrel is annealed in a kiln to give it strength and durability. Lampwork beads that are not annealed could fracture and break because the glass did not cool slowly enough, this is called thermal shock. ALL our lampwork beads are properly annealed in a REAL kiln, NOT a "bead annealer".

Metaphysical Lore:

Dolphins are such wonderful creatures, intelligent, magickal and so intune with the feelings of humans!! Some dolphins actually seek out human companionship and have often saved swimmers and divers from shark attacks. They have also proven useful for therapy work with needy children and adults!! What loving energies they have! Dolphins are one of the animals associated with the Greek God Poseidon, the most famous God of the Sea. The dolphin often displays a kind, benevolent behavior. It has a large brain and a great intelligence. Even today, rather than be wary of humans, who would kill them, they enjoy the company and their curiosity draws them close. As Totem animals they possess the power of breath and sound, and their cycle of power is year-round.

Pearls are wonderful gems, not really stones, but organic in nature, are products of oysters and are usually cultured, that is, the oyster is implanted with a foreign object for the Pearl to grow around and then later cultivated when they reach the size desired. They come in many different natural colors and are also dyed or color inhanced. They are associated with the elements of water and spirit. They emit warm, gentle loving energies, and help to encourage compassion. They bring the loving energy of the sea to the wearer. They bring Goddess energies to whatever they are connected to.

Silver is a wonderful metal for use with gemstones, it can take on and absorb the properties and energies of the gemstones it is in contact with and act as a conductor for those energies for the wearer. Silver is associated with the element of Water and directly correlates with the energies of the Goddess and the moon. It is also a metal to aid in drawing prosperity.
