Full Moon Potions

Last night was not only the full moon in Scorpio but also a lunar eclipse! Some powerful moon energy has been floating around for the last couple days, and will continue for the next couple...meaning a perfect time to cleanse ourselves, and the things around us. For me personally this is always a great time to mix any herbal remedies, make bath oils, cleanse crystals etc. Last night I experimented with what I like to call a Moon Juice, a mixture of herbs and essential oils of the moon.

Herbs of the moon (some are white sandalwood, jasmine flowers, mugwort, cucumber and lily) are great for developing intuition and psychic abilities, but they simply help us to go deeper into our subconscious to bring back important messages. They help us dream and remember our dreams...the full moon always brings about lots of dreams for me! I like to mix combinations and use the mixture in the bath before I go to sleep at night, I definately notice a difference when I use my Moon Juice!

Every month I am going to be creating new mixtures and combinations and soon they will be up for sale in my shop. Next month I am making protection amulets with special stones that can be worn around the neck to stay close. Each blend is blessed in a circle under the moon with corresponding crystals, stones, metals, specific ritual wording and of course intention and energy!

Here is a photo from my moon ritual and offering last night:

Treasured Collectibles

Here are some of my most treasured pieces that I have collected over the years. Each piece comes from a special place or a special someone and they each carry a sweet story or memory. I always display them in places I see everyday, and I hope to one day have a house filled with treasures to remind me of a life of adventure well lived!

Thailand Collection

My collection of antique jewellery from Thailand is finally up in the shop. In Asia, gold jewellery is traditionally used in marriage ceremonies or for temple use. Turquoise stones are also very popular in Asia, the beautiful bright stones are also very beneficial in dispelling negative energy. This collection also includes some beautiful silver pieces and other materials commonly used in Asia including bone, and healing stones of rose quartz and amethyst. Here are some of the pieces, and check out the rest here: www.etsy.com/shop/piratebootytreasure 

New Treasures

I have some new treasures up in the shop:

The Triad

Throughout history, the triangle has taken on multiple symbols, but usually it a sign of unity and direction.

The triad symbolizes the male, the female and together their creative power.
The triad symbolizes the sky, the earth and all iving beings.
The triad symbolizes the perfect union when two become one.
The triad symbolizes the power of One to become All. 

Let this beautiful and rustic brass pendant and chain work its magic, and choose your symbol!

The Tiger's Eye

Finally a treasure crafted from my favourite protection stones -Tiger Eye! Tiger eye is not just a good luck charm, it instills the wearer with willpower, purpose, courage, self-confidence and practicality.This is the best friend we need to assist us with self-empowerment. 

This tiger is not just courageous, but incredibly beautiful. The way the light hits the stone, exposing multiple layers, will catch the eye of many. This necklace is strung with five of these magnificent stones, each unique in appearance. 

This is definitely a statement piece, but take a chance and reclaim your power!

The Crystal Crown

The first headpiece in the Pirate Booty collection is simple and elegant and is guaranteed to make you feel like a princess! 

Sterling silver decorated with tiny rose quartz crystals, this crown will add an element of fantasy to any outfit. I was particularly inspired by Elfish fairy tales when creating this piece (I can't help but conjure up images of Rivendell waterfalls when wearing these crystal crowns:)

The style fits many sizes, and the weight of the thicker chain helps to keep in it place.

Vintage Moroccan Necklace

This gorgeous Moroccan piece was a real find! The mysterious red gemstone in the middle seems to carry with it centuries worth of stories. This is an antique piece that should be treasured for centuries to come! 

This silver necklace is the perfect necklace to layer with others, but in all honesty, the piece speaks for itself. The beautiful and rustic silver pendant is embedded with two antique stones, a dark red and a small black stone which I believe to be Obsidian. Obsidian is volcanic glass, and it great for shielding against negativity.

I do recommend leaving this piece out in the sunshine to clear the stones from negative energy from its past, as this piece has age.
