New Moon in Aquarius, Year of the Snake
Today brings the New moon in Aquarius, a time of transformation and to think about our place in the world. This moment is steeped in creativity, self reflection and a chance to step into our authentic selves. What is your soul here to do? How can we raise our vibrations? Especially when things feel dark and sad and hard...
The New Moon is when you begin to manifest your dreams... This is the first new moon of the calendar year so it's a great time to really think ahead for the whole year. What's your biggest goal, wish or intention? What steps can you make toward them today? This week? This month? Zoom out with a macro lens, looking at the year ahead and then zoom back in on the months, weeks and days ahead to take the steps to make them come true. Today is great day to light a candle, make some tea and journal...
Even with all the chaos around us, seeking our inner light, cultivating what lights us up from the inside out and sharing that... that is a way to build ourselves up and build our communities. What do WE want our world to look like? Where can we find inspiration? A few of my favorites: Yasmin Boland, Chani Nicholas, Rebecca Campbell, Aliza Kelly, Jill Wintersteen and Sabrina Lynn.
We've just finished making more Moon Crescent Earrings, these are so dreamy and you can carry the potent energy of these crystals right on your body!
We have a few new Tiny Labradorite Moons, we made a pair in silver (it sold arleady!), a pair in brass and this dreamy pair in Gold Vermeil. Labradorite is a stone of transformation, a useful companion through change, imparting strength and perseverance. It balances and protects the aura, raises consciousness and grounds spiritual energies.
Today also marks the Lunar New Year and the year of the Snake! This symbolizes letting go of what no longer serves us to make space for new potential. It's all about shedding our old skin and stepping into our new selves. I'm working on a new snake pendant...here's a sneak peak...in its raw metal clay state before I refine it, fire it in my kiln, hammer, patina and polish it!
I love having little in-studio offerings! We now have an Intention Bottle Bar! Use the power of crystals to manifest your goals. Choose the ones that match your intention, fill your bottle, and use it in meditation or carry it with you. All the bottles have crystals attached to their tops, so cute. They're just $5, we thought this might be fun for kiddos to do while mamas shop but anyone can make one. In fact, I'm gonna make one as soon as I finish writing this!
