Starting yesterday, the Christian tradition entered the Rogation Days — old observances centered around prayers for healthy crops, good weather, the land, and the people who depend on it. At their heart, they’re reminders that human beings have always understood something simple: we are connected to the earth, whether we act like it or not.

And today, in parts of the Ta***ic Buddhist tradition, is Dakinis’ Day — a time connected to the feminine currents of wisdom, transformation, and the power to turn intention into compassionate action. Offerings are made not just for personal growth, but for healing, balance, and positive change in the world around us.

Different paths. Different symbols. Different language. But underneath both is a very old human understanding: The earth is not separate from us. What we plant matters. What we nurture matters. What we ignore eventually asks to be seen.

Maybe this week is a good reminder to check in with the world around us just a bit more than we might normally do. Plant something. Support local growers. Pick up trash. We are going to sit outside in our garden for ten quiet minutes each morning. Say a prayer. Set an intention. Manifest. However you frame it spiritually, the invitation feels pretty universal.

The world heals in small acts first.

Look, we’re not saying your tarot deck needs a tiny velvet apartment guarded by mystical cats… but the evidence is pretty compelling.

These velvet tarot bags are ridiculously cool. Soft, vibrant, slightly witchy, slightly unhinged, and covered in the kind of cosmic cat energy that feels equal parts guardian, familiar, and “I can see through dimensions.”

A lot of readers like keeping their decks wrapped or covered when they’re not in use. Partly for protection, partly for intention, partly because ritual matters. There’s something different about reaching for a deck that’s been cared for instead of tossed in your underwear drawer under old receipts and a dead phone charger.

And cats have been tied to mysticism and intuition for centuries anyway. Independent, observant, deeply suspicious of everyone. Basically, the perfect spiritual mascot.

We hope everyone’s having a beautiful Mother’s Day. And if your plans include downtown Alton, drop in to Zen until 5p. It’s the last day of our sterling silver and Tibetan silver sale.

Just look at this labradorite pendant set in sterling silver. Labradorite has that unmistakable flash that seems to appear out of nowhere when the light hits it just right — blues, golds, silvers, like lightning trapped inside stone. Spiritually, people have long connected it to intuition, transformation, protection, and seeing beyond surface-level noise. A stone for thresholds, change, and trusting your inner compass.

And this setting? Ornate without being overdone. Old-world energy in the best possible way.

Mothers’ Day means a lot of different things to a lot of different people.

For some, it’s a day of celebration. For others, it’s complicated. Some are spending today with their mothers. Some are missing them. Some are mothers through birth, adoption, fostering, mentorship, step-parenting, or simply through the quiet, everyday act of loving and caring for others with their whole heart.

At its core, this day is about gratitude for the people who nurture life in all the ways that matter most — physically, emotionally, intellectually, and spiritually. The ones who show up. The ones who teach, protect, encourage, sacrifice, and somehow keep going even when they are exhausted.

Motherhood has always carried something sacred about it. Not perfect. Not easy. But sacred. So today, we honor the mothers, the grandmothers, the chosen mothers, the caregivers, the nurturers, and also the people still healing from the absence of those things. This is their day too.

Wherever this day finds you, we hope you are met with kindness, rest, love, and maybe a reminder that the care you’ve given to others mattered more than you probably realize.

Happy Mothers’ Day from all of us at It’s Raining Zen and Terra Luna.

Tonight is the Vigil for Lost Mothers.

For some, this night is about grief. For others, remembrance. For others still, it’s complicated in ways that are hard to explain out loud.

Some are mourning mothers they’ve lost. Some are mourning children they never got to meet. Some are grieving relationships that never became what they needed them to be. Some carry quiet wounds around infertility, estrangement, addiction, distance, or time. And some are simply tired from carrying everyone else for so long.

Wherever you find yourself tonight, we hope you give yourself a little gentleness. Light a candle. Say a name. Sit in silence. Cry if you need to. Pray. Laugh at a memory if it comes. There is no wrong way to move through a night like this.

On this night before Mother's Day we honor the missing, the grieving, the nurturing, the exhausted, the loving, and the healing.

Remember, you are not alone.

This tapestry feels like somebody took an apothecary, a moon journal, a wildflower field, and a witch’s sketchbook and stitched them all together.

Lunar phases circling a massive butterfly. Mushrooms. Crystals. Flowers. Tiny potion bottles. Strawberries. Herbs. Stars. Little symbolic odds and ends tucked into every corner like you’re supposed to discover something new every time you look at it.

And the butterfly right in the center? That’s transformation energy all day long. Change, growth, shedding old versions of yourself, becoming something different without losing where you came from. Pair that with the lunar cycle wrapping around it and the whole thing starts feeling like a visual reminder that life moves in phases too.

Wall hanging, altar backdrop, meditation room, reading nook, weird cottagecore blanket fort… we’re not here to limit your options.

Rune sets feel timeless. Maybe because they are.

These aren’t just pretty stones with symbols carved into them. Runes were one of the oldest symbolic systems in Northern Europe — part language, part story, part divination tool. Historically, they were etched into wood, bone, and stone for protection, guidance, remembrance, and ritual. Today, a lot of people use them the same way they use tarot or oracle cards: as a way to slow down, focus intention, and reflect on what’s happening beneath the surface.

The stone matters too. These just arrived at the shops: Carnelian that carries that fiery, alive kind of energy — motivation, courage, movement. Tiger eye that feels grounding and steady, like keeping your feet under you when life gets chaotic. Rose quartz softens everything a bit and leans into compassion, love, and emotional healing. And opalite… technically manmade, yes, but still absolutely mesmerizing with that dreamlike glow people are drawn to for intuition, transitions, and communication.

But that’s just the beginning. We’ve also got rune sets in pyrite, amethyst, labradorite, tourmaline, and a whole lot more. Some folks choose based on the energy they connect with. Some pick the stone they can’t stop staring at. Either way, we got you covered.

The 25% off sterling silver and Tibetan silver sale continues today at both shops!

Both shops are packed with dozens of new rings, including some absolutely spectacular one-of-a-kind Blue Dahlia Turquoise and Larimar pieces.

Blue Dahlia Turquoise carries that classic turquoise energy people have connected to for centuries — protection, communication, balance, and grounding. It has this calming-but-strong presence to it that feels ancient in the best possible way.

Larimar is completely different energy. Soft, oceanic, peaceful. A lot of people connect it with emotional healing, calming the nervous system, intuition, and learning how to move through life without feeling like you have to fight every current all the time.

Sale runs through today in Greenville and tomorrow in Alton. Hope to see you soon!

A few days ago we shared the copper moon bracelets… and that opened the floodgates.

Turns out you all really like copper. So here’s the rest of the lineup: sunflowers, hearts, cats, and simple hammered designs. A little earthy, a little whimsical, a little quirky… but a whole lot of cool.

We sound like a broken record at this point, so we won’t mention that copper has been used for thousands of years not just because it’s beautiful, but because people have long associated it with balance, energy flow, vitality, and grounding. And we definitely won’t remind you that copper is believed to act like a conduit — helping move energy, intention, and emotion more freely while keeping you connected to the physical world around you.

Maybe we’ll just go with this: the cat bracelet is adorable.

Meow.

Why does Magnolia look so sad?

Because Donna is booked solid and can't add Maggie to the schedule until June.

Don’t worry, though. As soon as June appointment dates open up for both Alton and Greenville, we’ll post them here first.

Magnolia asks that you please direct all complaints, disappointment, emotional processing, and dramatic sighing to her management team.

(That’s us. Unfortunately.)
