Jasper Howlite 1950`s Necklace / Bluemoon Beads

The 1950`s

The age of costume jewelry

Glamour, elegance, and sophistication.

This style takes me back to the fifties.

Howlite is known for it's strong associations with self-awareness, creativity and improving ones emotional attitudes. It enhances character building, and a sense of decency; in encourages desirable personal attributes. Howlite aids in dispelling anger, resentfulness, selfishness and allows one to look inside for answers, aid in communicating the negative emotions with a clearer emotional expression, which will result in calmer confrontations.

Jasper's are protective stones.They foster intuition and artistic creativity.

Earrings Owl Vintage style/ Bluemoon Beads

The owl is often a guide to and through the Underworld, a creature of keen sight in darkness, and a silent and swift hunter. It can help unmask those who would deceive you or take advantage of you.

Owls are believed to have played a more prominent role in early Celtic cults, and could perhaps have derived from a more broadly based deity of a common European descent. Predating the Greek cult of Athena, for whom the owl was an animal attribute, were images of these mysterious birds in Celtic lands.

Poetry Slam New and Old

A decade of poetry. Its been flowing through me this last week. I used to use the internet to outlet my feelings. I guess today is no different. You can blame my dreams.


Old: 2003 - 2004 Valley High Literary magazine page 23. Art Work: Tristen Ervin

 

New: 2-3-13

 Reflections shine full

Stardust smiles at me through the fog

I saw into your window

all intentions and energies all in one wave

shallow plexie glass

a flash of truth

I expected more than just that 

scene from a horror movie

lost expectations a must 

in god I dont trust

Dont expect just lust

~Athena Mansfield
