amethyst anxiety bracelet for self-care

By -
pictured: my handmade amethyst anxiety bracelet. it’s just a nice calming purple beaded bracelet. these bracelets were born from my own struggles with anxiety. the soothing colors and textures are a tactile comfort, and the amethyst, in particular, has always been a little tactile calm for me. i use a double-threaded stretch cord for durability, as i know how important it is for a piece of jewelry to withstand daily wear. creating these has been a form of self-care for me, and i hope they bring that same peace to others when i get them up in the shop. the process of stringing the beads is sometimes physically painful due to my porphyria hands, but the intention behind each piece makes it worthwhile and rewarding.

 i make all kinds of sparklies, but there’s a special place in my heart for stress relief jewelry. the amethyst beads were a little grey and lumpy but complemented this pink and white beaded bracelet palette perfectly. amethyst is also reputed to be good for clarity of thought, a must-have for panic attack jewelry enthusiasts 😂 it was basically like a handmade self-care gift to myself. anxiety jewelry for women have become increasingly popular, but why can’t any gender enjoy beaded bracelets? we can all try our own ways to self sooth… maybe like me, you’re also into wearing spiritual jewelry for anxiety.

pro tip: amethyst is known for its calming properties, while pink colors promote self-love and emotional healing. the combo creates a bracelet designed to soothe anxiety and promote a sense of peace and well-being.

October’s Principle of Living in the Moment

By -

the principle is enjoying the present — enjoy what you have while it’s here. the darker aspects of the hare's symbolism are highlighted during the time when darkness is most prevalent. as we know, the rabbits are harbingers of messages from the underworld, of life and of death as well. the veil between realms is thin; i practice protective rituals. burning black or blue candles with your usual spiritual work should help. this month’s superstition: burning sage on the eve of samhain wards off negative spirits and ensures a peaceful winter.

upcycled gemstone protection jewelry

These ethically sourced rainbow crystal amulets that I like to make are often crafted from rescue beads. I love using them to show diversity, resilience, & the beauty of each unique detail. Each shamanic charged healing talisman is energetically infused with transformative intentions, from me to the stones. When I create, I try to remember that upcycled gemstone protection jewelry pieces are more than just accessories… they're stories of resilience. Each is made from pieces discarded, overlooked, or deemed imperfect. I source these ethically, often finding them at auctions or even in the clearance bins on jewel excursions! ⭐️ Ethical sourcing is important. ⭐️ I cleanse & charge each bead individually, infusing them with positive energy. ⭐️ The energetic process is a beautiful ritual to charge the stones . ⭐️ My handmade talismans are a labor of love, transforming discarded pieces into something beautiful & meaningful. The crystal healing affirmation talismans add a touc...

the perfectly imperfect mole in the moon

there's a moon tattooed on my left arm – about the size of a roma tomato, maybe. right in the middle of it is mole i used to hate. the dermatologist sad “we can’t remove it you’ll have a scar” but i didn’t care - a scar is preferable to a rabbit turd oh my skin. my mom used to pick at it & wipe it like it was dirt that’d just come off. but the tattoo artist did what i asked. he didn't cover the mole; he incorporated it. made it part of something cute. it's a crescent moon, actually, & the mole is right in the middle of a flower perfectly in the curve almost like it was meant to be there (because it was meant to be there - built the fuck around it.) it's a metaphor, ig. those parts of ourselves we want to hide or hate? they can be transformed. integrated. made art. the mole isn't a flaw anymore – it's part of the design, part of my story. we start with what we start with. we get what we get, but most of us are indeed upset. it’s up to us to this life what...

tarot: the star

tarot card: the star -- hope, renewal, inspiration. it’s my birthday month. phyllis was puppy-like last winter. now spring has sprung and she’s mellow -- not full feral anymore. what bun summer?  when she’s mad, she thumps. when she loves something -- like loops or a pet -- she lets me make much of her. kinda. ish. her current name is cheez steak. it’s very meta.  still fighting the toxic glow-up culture -- the “love yourself” bullshit that makes pain a performance. fuck the pressure to be positive all the time. love yourself, yeah, buuutttttt hate the shit that’s real, too. and don’t fake a smile to fit in with the idiot brigade. smile for real or frown for real.  the ring i wear is named richard starkey. it’s a pavé scarab -- a dung beetle -- sacred symbol of creation from destruction. ✨ mystical poop magicks. ✨  huzzah. i can see.  zoom calls leave me utterly drained -- one day, after suppressing so much frustration i felt like i was on the ed...
