Tomorrow marks a New Moon (Sunday 9th September) 🌙🌿and the start of a brand new cycle. 🍃 I've realised that to me it also feels like the end and start of a year - largely due to the kids going back to school - and with that goes the end of summer. ☀️🍂September is always a time for preparing for Winter. The effects of an English Winter cause seasonal depression for me, due to the lack of light coupled with the amount of grey and rain we have. I'm very sensitive to my environment - so I must safeguard myself by making plans NOW for getting through Dec, Jan & Feb. 🌏 This is largely what our ancestors were doing anyway by completing the harvests - only they were more preoccupied with food storing. 🥔🥕🍞🌽 Over the last few days i've been getting an influx of insights and scribbling away like mad in my journal 📖🕯- decifering what things I want to bring into my life & gaining clarity on what to manifest over this next year. Because we often focus on what areas of our life need work - we can easily forget everything we've already achieved. After writing down goals I will then make a list of everything I've deliberately manifested, since I had an awakening of sorts, 5 years ago. Since then I have not allowed myself to drift at all but became the architect of my own life. (In my teens & 20's I drifted, living life to the full always in the moment - with barely any resistance I manifested adventures & parties galore -but my 30's have been different) The majority of things I've focused on manifesting have been in my childrens interests - A lovely house, my car, security, financial security, my online business. Holidays to Florida. Great schools.🔮 6 years ago I was clinincally depressed, recently a single mum to 2 young kids - 1 of which a baby. I had no career, no money, a broken down shed of a car & was living in a tiny, cramped flat. I had nothing. Actually less than nothing - I was in a complete state of disempowerment - grief over a failed marriage & mental illness to add on top of it. The light I had inside me felt like it had gone out for good. And yet - I manifested everything I have now starting from THAT place. It really has me thinking.....cont below ⬇ https://www.instagram.com/p/Bnd6EPeAP-F/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1m75zgemj9ra0

Plumeria plant, or 'Frangipani' it is sometimes called. 🌺 I first fell in love with the tropical flowers & heady, sweet scent on a trip to Thailand - many moons ago now, when I was just 19.🌙 The hotel was freshly decorated with these beautiful white & yellow petals, taken daily from their stunningly maintained gardens. 🌴 Grand porcelain baths were filled high with them in the spa for relaxation - and each morning I would wake to find them laid out over the breakfast table. Even the restrooms would have a bowl of them floating on water. You might also recognise them from the Hawaiian Leis or garlands and when I see them I always fall in love with that touch of the exotic. 🌸 Out of 10 planted, only this one grew - Manchester is entirely the wrong climate and I hope this baby can survive the winter. If I care for her properly I am sure she will, if I cross my fingers maybe one day she will flower inside my home, even though she was born in grey, rainy northern England. I think I'll keep her surrounded by Crystal energy just to make sure - what do you think? Any advice on caring for tropical plants? 🌺🍃💗🌿🌼💎🌙 xx Sarah xx https://www.instagram.com/p/BnYrLPxAUG8/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1c8maf5lfq5zf

Playing around with Gems on this grey but warm day, at the end of summer in England. ☀️ The leaves have already started to fall and although Autumn is my favourite season, it also seems to go way too fast, in 2 months time it will feel like Winter here and that thought sends a chill through me as I must safeguard myself against depression that comes when Winter drags on too long. ❄ For me, the year also starts in September because of the school year, recently i've been jotting down my dreams and goals, targets with work - and places I want to visit. I seem to get a flood of this inspiration late August instead of around NYE so i'm just going with my intuition. For some people the year really starts in April with the end of the tax year! I've mixed feelings about the kids going back, on one hand I'll miss the lay ins and going at my own pace ~ and on the other i'll really appreciate being able to work in peace and be more productive with my business. Happy early Autumn/fall everyone 🍂🍃🍁 recognise any Gems? Which is your fave? Do you have the black Kyanite fan/broom from one of my surprise boxes? x Sarah x https://www.instagram.com/p/BnRdNnKAIgl/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=bu9m243imdy5

The super talented artist and generous soul @weronika.salach made my day when she offered to send me the original artwork of this beautiful picture featuring one of my amulets! I've sent her a lovely Crystal surprise box in return that I hope she loves as much as I do this painting. Thank you Wera! 🙏 The artists and little community of beautiful spirits i've met during the short time i've been on Instagram really inspires me. 😊 All encouraging and lifting each other up, reaching out to make someone happy. Many doing powerful healing work, personal and spiritual growing - and finding so many of us similar awakened (but not spiritually 'perfect') people throughout the world really makes my heart beam. So much love 🤗 I am sure i've not done Wera's artwork justice, you must check it out for yourself. She is also a zen yoga teacher & has online tutorials! Have a beautiful weekend everyone, typically Saturday is supposed to be the worse day to post as people are busy but screw you Insta algorithm, if you can see this post let me know, give me a wave, emoji, do you love this artwork? And Gemstones or dried flowers? - and tell me - are you a summer girl or a fall (autumn) lover?

"Double, double toil and trouble; Fire burn and cauldron bubble...."🔥💎🌙 The GIVEAWAY winner, chosen by my lovely assistant (Annelise aged 7) is.....➡️ swipe to see 👁 . . Thank you everyone for entering, our winner receives a surprise box of crystals, gems, jewelry, symbols &, other spiritual goodies. 🎁💎🌙🕉 I try to do giveaways as often as possible, to give back to my much appreciated followers and customers - I know, I know i'm a broken record but every like, comment, purchase and support for my creations means the absolute world to me, as social media is becoming hard for small businesses who can't compete with the marketing budget of large companies. When you buy direct from an artist you contribute directly to the running of their lives, enabling them to pay bills, take care of children and still do a job they love - and even successful artists who are self-employed as I am are likely only paying themselves minimum wage, we mostly do our work for love and joy. One day next year I hope to have become faster at silversmithing to be able to giveaway one of my precious amulets for you guys. Until then stay tuned for crystal goodies, new designs and have a beautiful weekend. 😊💎🌿🌙💕 pssst comment ME underneath if you are looking forward to Halloween (Samhain) as much as I am!!! 🕸🔮🌙🕷 https://www.instagram.com/p/BnJdyzug_UT/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=5ku3n2e28pbd

I'll miss these beauties! Some off on their travels all over the world ✈ and some staying close by in different parts of the British Isles. 🌎 I decided to keep one this time (Vis Potens ~ The Wand of Atlantis) I was almost praying no one snapped her up because i'd grown very attached whilst making her. . Some amulets I know are not for me, that their energy is for another, i'm just the creator (Venusia ~ the starseed wand left in my shop is for another healer and seeker entirely) but even as I stamped 'Vis Potens' into the back of the silver with this one I thought 'I want to keep her'! So mine she is and was meant to be. . I'm not entirely finished with the Atlantis collection. I have a few more smaller Gems to make into new designs when I get back from my trip - a few rings, a bangle, a torque necklace and a collar piece - but no more Citrine wands for a long while. The Lost Lands collection I will revisit for designs that are purely Lemurian or Avalonian too - but later next year. . 🌿 I worked all through what should have been a rest period when my children went to Switzerland, making these designs, in order to fund our little road trip that is mainly to visit Harry Potter studios on Tuesday (it's for me really, lover of all magic! 😂😂) but for me a trip is as good as a rest so I made the right choice (plus I love to work!) so thank you everyone for your purchases and support in all ways - sharing, liking, commenting, tagging other people - everything helps this self employed mum and although I sound like a broken record I am so grateful. . So if I have time lovely souls, I am hoping to set a giveaway up tomorrow or just before I leave to give you the chance of winning a mini surprise box of Crystals and goodies! Sound good??? Comment heck yes ⬇️ and i'll make it happen 🤗 . Hope you're enjoying the Full Moon (I never sleep, my soul wants to be out partying somewhere under the moonlight 🎶🌙) I added all of your wishes to my ritual before and sending you all my blessings 🙏 x Sarah x 🌿🌙💎🌺🕉 . Pssst ***The next collection I want to start is a shadows and light theme, honouring Samhain and also having some fun with the witchier side of life 🕸🔮🦇 https://www.instagram.com/p/Bm9r8H3g5Zn/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1x89ujgbxxdpk

I'm packaging up the *Lost Lands* amulets for their new owners on August's Full Moon. 😊🌿🌙 . Later i'll do a ritual to celebrate all the things that I have now, that were once a dream or a goal. . Then i'll wish for something new. If you write underneath something you wish for ⬇️ - i'll place it in my grid tonight for you. 👍 I have great manifesting ability 🙏🌿💎💕🌙 . Apparently both Venus & Mercury are visible over this Full Moon, Venus we can see at night - but Mercury only during the day with a telescope - but during dawn & dusk both can be seen with our own eyes, if you know where to look 👀. . . Pssst do you like my Full Moon grid? I'm hoping to get better at photography! Blessings everyone 🤗 xx Sarah xx 💎🌿🌺🌙 (Repost only if giving me credit) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bm8fseLAkNZ/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=r48425s2602h

Meet Moonflower 🌙🌺 Do you like her? Swipe for the video, hard to capture but she's full of rainbows and formations, glittering & sparkling, like looking at a mini world in there. This design is an elegant Smokey Citrine topped with Larimar and encased in solid Sterling Silver. Moonflower is the 5th amulet wand in this series, only 2 more to go! All have been inspired by the lost lands of Atlantis & Lemuria (Mu) 🍃🌙 The legends tell tales of star, light and elemental beings birthing our world with sound and vibration. As they sung - the flowers, trees and plants were brought into life, a direct manifestation of the frequency that was emitted from the voices of the fae and the star children. The mountains and rocks moved themselves, most beings were made of light even though they had a physical bodies, the chakras and geometric patterns were visable and many could shapeshift into animals that could swim or fly ~ everything was energy moving so much faster than anything we see today - all were communing with each other in harmony. They talk of 2 moons also, the other with a silvery glow. That I actually dream of regularly, i'm sitting by the ocean at nightful underneath this huge lilac silvery moon that feels so close I could touch, i'm watching neon lights dancing in the water and the tiny beach feels like silk beneath my feet. The sand, the sea and the moon and me, we were all one, there was no feeling of separation at all. A great white dragon swoops down to fly me home across the sea but he doesn't breathe fire - he's not unlike Falkor the luck dragon from The Never Ending Story just with huge almost angelic white feathers and wings. He's capable of producing a sound like a rumble that knocks everything out for miles - but there's no reason to use it because it's a time of great peace and creation. Do you dream of or have visions of other lands or lives? Blessings to all xx Sarah xx #lemuria #lemurian #stoneofatlantis #moonflower #moonchild

A young Maleficent, full of love and hope and trust and wonder ~ a great healer of her kind and to the forest - before he betrayed her for greed and power and cut off her wings, the disgusting cowardly little man. I literally cried in the cinema when he took them, much to the amusement of my sister 😂 what can I say, empath forever! Violence doesn't usually bother me on screen, it mostly just looks like stupid men beating the crap out each other and that's fine by me - but injustice makes me sob with anger, it always has done. Whilst I've never had the inclination to harm an innocent, i'm a protector always, as I think most of us are - but I DO have a wrath & fire inside me that could set the world alight 🔥 (I won't tell you my stories of revenge just yet although they are amusing) - the journey of this whole film was truly beautiful to me - did you love Maleficent? 🍃🌙🌿 I feel such an affinity for the elven/fae kingdom and forests that are alive - no matter what collection i'm working on there'll always be overlapping symbols, forest elements and of course the moon. 🌛🌕🌜I was hoping my Lost Lands collection would be ready today to showcase them all - but I always misjudge how long each one actually takes and I spend a lot of time making the chains afterwards, it's always been important to me for my jewellery and art to be very wearable - so I like to make them full adjusable so the clasp goes through most links and you can get the perfect fit. 💕🌿🕉

4 solid silver bars make up the steps to this Atlantian portal piece, a border of twisted vines and leaves surround the beautiful Larimar teardrop Gem. I designed it to look like an innocent ornate mirror or ocean painting. The back is stamped in a Celtic font the words 'Stella Porta' which translate in latin to Star Gate or doorway/Entrance to the stars. Do you like it? Please let me know what you think of my designs as i'm still unsure of who i'm creating for, I just feel so called to do so 🤗 Swipe for video of the back ➡️ So many ancient cultures speak of portals, star gates and wormholes ~ grand entrances opening up gateways to other star systems, points in time or inter-dimensional realms. I have been searching for one all my life, ever since reading the chronicals of Narnia🌳💎🌳 This piece is an ode to our lost lands and civilisations, primarily Lemuria, Atlantis & Avalon and a reminder that we are told we have access right now to this ancient wisdom, magickal gifts and memories of a more enlightened co-existence on earth. #priestess #seer #magicmirror #lookingglass (at Lemuria)

"Stay Wild. As often as possible, turn your back on the man-made world, and embrace the wilderness. It is there that you will connect with your heart and soul." 🌳🌺🌙🌿🦌 Apparently this is everyones favourite design from my poll! See further posts back for the stamping and close ups of this piece. She is SOLD but I hope to make more with different stones 🌛🌕🌜

**Venusia** I knew she was Venusian the moment I saw her complete, my mind was saying it over and over again. Whilst reading Lost Lands by Lucy Cavendish (who also btw makes the faery oracle cards in my stories) I read that Lemuria was founded on Mu (the motherland) from which Atlantis, Avalon and many other legendary places sprung from. Beings from all over the galaxy came to form Lemuria, and still they come to be born into Earth today to experience the physical dimension. When the golden age crumbled it was said that many of the beings were shapeshifters, they transformed and took the place of mountains, forests, dolphins, crystals...in order to remain here and uplift the energy whilst darkness reigned for centuries. Some slipped into higher dimensions that intertwined and overlapped with ours, it is why there are so many tales & sightings of elves and giants. The book states that stone structures of the world ~ Stonehenge, the Giza Pyramids and Chicken Itza actually built themselves - for all the elements and rocks were conscious and why they feel so alive when we visit. That Crystals are lightbeings we can commune with through meditation and learn of our history, even reactivate our dormant DNA to gain back our own powers. I grew up with films such as The Neverending Story, The Labyrinth & Flight of the Navigator and don't think I will ever stop seeking and searching for the magick within this world and I truly believe we are at a pivotal time of mass awakening and remembering of our past lives. Whilst I work mainly with crystals I am the sort of mad hatter that sits and talks to trees and puts my hands on bare ground so I can listen to the earth. 🌿💎🌙💕 *Veterum Sapientia* btw translates in latin to 'Wisdom of the Ancients' #wand #venusianwand #lemurianwand #sterlingsilver #solidsilver #madagascancitrine #larimarwand

The wand is the earliest magical tool ever recorded in literature. (The Odyssey). Used in ritual by cultures the world over, to direct the flow of energy and focused intentions out into the universe, to manifest a desire. Now an amulet is often an enchanted and protected artifact, weaved with magick and power and gifts intended only for the wearer. This design is both, intended for a healer, seeker, lightworker, witch, or awakening soul - they say that it is not really us at all that chooses the wand, amulet or crystal but that these magickal items actually seek out their owners. 💎🍃🌙🕉 (at Alderley Edge)

Swipe ➡️ for more. 'Potens' means powerful in Latin, whilst the tiny word 'Vis' refers to a number of things - the force of energy in the universe, that creates all things - it also means 'to command, summon or wish'. These words are engraved onto the wand as an indirect translation and reminder for *Powerful energetic force when you wish or command*. This is my first finished piece from my Lost Lands collection which has led me on an exciting journey exploring the legends of Atlantis, Lemuria & Avalon ~ 🧜‍♀️🌊🐚🦈 and my designs are made with the intentions of connecting us with the wisdom, visions, knowledge and languages of the ancient civilizations that I personally believe are not truly lost, just existing on a higher frequency. Please let me know what you think and blessings to you all! ☀️🌊🌿 x Sarah x #lovebeyondthemoon #naturalcitrine #larimar #stoneofatlantis

My plan was to take this beautiful piece into the woods to photograph and give it the respect it deserves - but alas it has been raining in the North of England. This could be for 3 days or 40 nights, no one ever knows around here.🌳 🌧🌳This artwork was a gift to me, custom made & designed - all the way from Sweden by the extremely talented @the_colour_of_magic_ and I know i've not been able to capture fully how much detail and depth and love has gone into it. She reached out to me at a time where she could never have known that I just needed a bit of human kindness in my life - and so it will be forever treasured. (I'm going to do a separate post on these random acts of kindness and intuition at some point) At 13 years old Kinga's passion for art makes me beam and I hope for her a path and career that brings so much joy. Please check out her art and encourage her on, this piece wasn't even her usual style - go and be wowed at her Terry Pratchett rendition 🤗 blessings everyone 🍃💎🌿 and to all artists everywhere, please carry on and pull through the ups and downs and twists and turns of the emotional rollercoaster that creating is - the world needs you more than you think, before we all blend into this grey, banal, concrete landscape - nothing is a failure, everything is a lesson. I personally learn best by fucking things up the first time 😁😁 #art #artist #bohemianartwork #kindness (at Manchester UK)
