I stopped at Sanctuary over the weekend to replenish a few of my prosperity needs.



While in there I talked to the girl who made the beautiful Pentagram that I had received in my recent Samhain Sabbat box from there. I told her how much I loved it and on the way out, I bought another handmade goody from her. --this one with green calcite and Lemurian quartz. I really need this too. Since busting my leg again, I have been pretty immobile and depressed.

-The Green Calcite is associated with gentle healing, calming, relaxation, balancing emotions, emotional tranquility, and centering. It aids any transition from a stagnant to a positive environment. It is also used to stimulate the immune system and absorb negative energy (such as arthritis and bacterial infections). Crystal Healers use it with bone adjustments and constrictions of the ligaments and muscles. It is also said to help the kidneys, spleen, and pancreas. It removes toxins from the body and alleviates mental fear. It aids in mental clarity, soothes anxiety, calms turbulent energies. Expands awareness, aids intuition, links parallel realities.
I hope this helps me to embrace my whole self, flaws included and turn them into strengths. I really could use the help focussing on the moment, no matter how crazy/stressful life is going and to give me a sense of stability throughout it.

-The Lemurian Quartz crystals are considered to be one of the "Master Crystals" as they are associated with all of the chakras, all astrological signs, all elements, and all planetary aspects.  Lemurian Quartz Crystals are master teachers, assisting in oneness and reminding us that while we are all individuals, we are also all interconnected beings equal in Spirit.
 Lemurian Quartz Crystals were initially found in Brazil. However, metaphysical legends state that there was once an advanced ancient civilization called Lemuria (Mu), similar to Atlantis but more spiritually developed and peaceful.  As the end of their time on Earth was coming to an end, the Lemurian's programmed these crystals to teach their messages of oneness and healing. These messages would be revealed when the energy on Earth was ready to receive them.  The Lemurians then planted (or “seeded”) the Lemurian Crystals, encoded with their ancient knowledge and wisdom, to be found centuries later by us. This legend goes on to state that Lemurian Seed Crystals are planted in a grid pattern over the surface of the Earth and beyond, to other stars and dimensions.
When you connect to a Lemurian Crystal and the energy it contains, you are also connecting to this grid of associated energies from the Earth, the stars, and beyond. This may all seem very far-fetched to some skeptics, but until you experience the physical beauty of these crystals, you may not ever understand just how receptive we are to their vibration. Lemurian Seed crystals generate a very feminine or yin energy, which is wonderful for wanting to get in touch with and activating their divine feminine energies.

^here's my pentagram that she had made. Gorgeous hey?
The pentagram holds pyrite, Lemurian quartz, and black obsidian.

-The Pyrite (also known as 'fools gold') is a very protective stone, shielding the user from negative energy of all kinds. Pyrite blocks energy leaks and mends auric tears. Protecting you from both environmental pollution and physical danger. Pyrite also promotes good physical health and emotional well-being.

-The Black Obsidian is a natural glass that forms when hot volcanic lava becomes submerged in water.
It is one of the most important spiritual teachers and is also called the "stone of truth."
This the reason why Black Obsidian is an excellent choice when it comes to scrying and crystal gazing practices, because the Black Obsidian tells you the truth as it is, without clouding or obscuring anything. It will give it to you bluntly which is what you want.
Black obsidian aids in removing doubt and negative thoughts. It also protects against depression and helps you manage your grief. It is beneficial for ailments relating to digestion and helps to reduce food cravings. Its healing properties also include aiding your vision and preventing arthritis and the hardening of the arteries.

The Witchery Market
I went to the Witchery Market (facebook link) with my Husband and our daughter's!

OooOo Witchy Vendors, Crafts, Tarot Readers, Free Presentations, & More!

There was a lot of neat stuff, but unfortunately, I didn't get close enough to much of it to really purchase anything.

Hexelheim
Amongst the chaos, I did, however, manage to grab this beautifully handcrafted necklace from Hexelheim (because I was damned if I was going home without making a witchy purchase!). I'm absolutely in love with it! It was copper electroformed by a single woman operation who aspires to compose unique adornments from a variety of raw organics. I would have bought much more from her if I wasn't being scootched over by other shoppers.

We were in and out fairly quickly because it was way too crammed pack. I could barely move lol
On the way out my Husband (being the sweetheart that he is), stopped at The Witchery's table (which thankfully was near the front doors so it wasn't sardined like the rest of the place - photo above),  grabbed my pre-purchased goody bag and a mystery pumpkin for myself and our daughter Ava.

I'm happy with what we got! It's too bad though, I would have loved to have done more shopping. I hope the next market is at a much bigger venue.

I was hoping to snag some more green candles while there, but there was no way... Even if someone was selling some, I'd never have been able to tell! It was all good though, on my way home I just stopped at my long-time favorite Curio shop (Sanctuary) and picked some up there along with some other fantastic goodies!  So all in all, this day was a witchy success!
