~ There's a Blood Moon Rising ~
Monday, October 6th brings the Full Moon in Aries, otherwise known as the Blood Moon.
For this collection I've worked with the energies of Black Tourmaline, Pyrite, Smoky Quartz, Botswana Agate, and Tourmaline Quartz to summon the energies of Aries in this lunation to protect your heart, amplify your courage, and build strength within yourself so that you can feel confident to stand up, speak out, and resist the horrors unfolding around us.
Aries reminds us to be brave in the face of injustice, understanding that sometimes doing the right thing can also mean breaking the rules. With a loyal heart and a burning passion for accountability, Aries ask us to put that fire to good use in seeking justice for all humankind.
Black Tourmaline
The ultimate in protective energies and grounding is a personal favorite, Black Tourmaline. This gemstone can act as a metaphysical shield to block negative vibrations from outside forces and within. When our inner critics spiral into personal doubts and paralyzing fears, Black Tourmaline cuts through the noise to help you release anxieties and transform yourself through honest and deep reflection.
An excellent stone for those with sensitive souls, having Black Tourmaline on your side you'll be aided in feeling more stable and not as easily overwhelmed so you can take a stronger stance in not only protecting yourself, but your local communities and populations across the world. Black Tourmaline gives you the emotional clarity to see how interconnected we all are.
Pyrite
While we most often acknowledge Pyrite as a stone of luck and abundance, at its core this gemstone is all about protection and stability, ridding the systems of toxicity and control. Wearing Pyrite helps you resist the propaganda to see behind the surface, giving you clarity to see the truth in words vs actions from the powers around you. Pyrite wants to free you from all forms of control so that you can pay it forward to free others.
Perhaps true abundance in life comes when we have the courage to look deep into our shadow sides and sit in self-reflection for enlightenment, understanding the work is not just for our personal and spiritual growth, but for the collective enlightenment and liberation of all. When we place collective safety and freedom at the heart of what we strive for, Pyrite helps lead your heart for the good of the movement.
Botswana Agate
Soothing to the senses and grounding to our core, Botswana Agate (aka Banded Agate) shows you the path to rebalance your mind, body, and spirit. Instilling a feeling of security, Botswana Agate shows you that anything is possible when you release repressive energies to allow for creative and honest expression. Pyrite gently guides our minds to uncover honest self-analysis so we can release the things that keep us from achieving our goals.
Botswana Agate asks you to kick the doom scroll that has you overwhelmed and dwelling on the problems keeping you from seeing the bigger picture and where you can do your part in seeking solutions. With a renewed sense of balance within and improved concentration, Pyrite asks you to lean deep into your intuition and analytical abilities to see the possibilities of our hopes and dreams aren't out of reach if we move through the world conscientiously, for peace and liberation in all corners of the globe.
Smoky Quartz
If you're feeling unregulated and need to detoxify your environment- weather that be your mental realm or your physical space, Smoky Quartz is here to help neutralize the negative energies and road blocks that appear when we're not grounded in our lives.
Smoky Quartz can aid you in your dreams, weather its manifestation or combatting the nightmares in your mind or in your neighborhoods, with Smoky Quartz in your corner you can finally stop the racing thoughts, release the anxiety, and see through any fears stopping you from standing in your power and taking action.
Tourmaline Quartz
When the powers of Quartz Crystal and Black Tourmaline combine, you gain access to one of the most powerful gemstones to back your purpose and self-confidence as your step up and out in the world feeling fully protected.
Black Tourmaline protects and breaks down negative energy, while Quartz Crystal cleanses and amplifies anything it's paired with- Tourmaline Quartz shields you from negative attacks while converting the negative energy, to release it back into the world as positive. This combination makes Tourmaline Quartz an excellent gemstone to clear combative behaviors and release tensions when working for resolution in our collective spaces.
With all that good power packed into Tourmaline Quartz, it's bound to help you feel liberated to step out into the world.
